UNASSIGNMENT OF VENDOR CONTACT PERSON

We have implemented SRM 5.0. Is it possible to unassign a vendor contact person if the contact person are not to be used anymore?
I "unassigned" the contact person in the Org. Structure, but when using transaction BBPMAININT (Manage Business Partner Data), option Business Partner Data and Employee, the Contact person still appears in the selection list. I do not want to delete the contact person, as bid invitations has been sent to this contact.

Hi Marinda,
You can unassign or block this vendor contact person by using transaction code BP. Find out the business partner number of the vendor contact person and go to the status tab in T-code BP for the role vendor in business partner maintanance and click on block business partner.
This will ensure that you are unable to select this business partner in the search criteria.
Please assign points for usefull answers

Datasource for Vendor Contact person Address

Hi,
I am looking out for the DS for Vendor Contact person address, which is taken from ADRC table. 0BP_DEF_ADDRESS_ATTR is having Business partner number. it gives all the required data. how to i link it with vendor LFA1 and COntact PErson in KNVK to get the required result.
Thanks & regards
Abi

Hi,
There is no standard data source available for your requirement.
You can enhance 0Vendor_attr master data with LFA1-ADRNR, KNVK-PARNR and address fields in ADRC and populate using user exit code based on the following logic.
Get LFA1-ADRNR where 0VENDOR_ATTR-LIFNR = LFA1-LIFNR
Get KNVK-PARNR where LFA1 - KUNNR = KNVK - KUNNR
Get address fields from ADRC where
LFA1 - ADRNR = ADRC - ADDRNUMBER
ADRC - DATE_FROM = Hard code the values required
ADRC - NATION = Hard code the values required eg. I for international version.
Hope it helps

SUS - Adding SU01 uset as Vendor contact person

Hi,
In SUS, we have supplier users already created in SU01. Is there a transaction to associate the SU01 users as vendor contact person in SUS? I know you can accomplish this via BBPMAININT in SRM. I don't believe we can use this transaction in SUS.
Surendra

Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for that helpful soluetion. I could do the Vendor user mapping in the Org Structure (PPOSA_BBP) , before i was trying to do the same in the Vendor Org Structure.
But, just want to know whether this mapping of Vendor Users inthe POrg structure is correct or not. If ocrrect what about the User Attributes ?They follow that of the Pur Org ?
We want to stop the Self registration by Vendors and we will generate User ID & Pswd for him to access the SUS Applciation.
Appreciate your earliest response.

Suvarna

Interfacing vendor contact person information

Hi All,
Scenario:
We are implementing and MDM solution to keep a central vendor repository, which will be the source for multiple backend ECC systems. We use SAP PI as middleware and try to stay as much as possible with the standard SAP IDoc formats.
Problem:
Unlike for customer MD SAP doesn't seem to support the interfacing of contact person details via ALE for vendors (or I haven't found it yet, if it is there, please let me know, it would be great news ). For debmas you have an E1KNVKM segment included in the debmas IDocs and I assume that there will also be ADR3MAS messages to provide the address details.
I believe that we'll have to go for customizing to get the same for the vendors but was hoping that someone has already gone through this effort and can share some best practices? Especially when it comes to configuring the system to make sure that the contact persons will be linked correctly to the vendors taking the CAM into account. (How to configure TSADOBJ and so on...)
Thank in advance!
Lee

Hi,
Take out the list of fields for vendor contact information in the respective table and try to include them in your custom segment in your message type and try to populate the data in that and sent it through the IDOC.
if the same information can be handled at inbound system then you can capture the same.

BAPI for Vendor Contact Person.

Hi,
My requirement is to have a BAPI which will insert / update a Contacts Person address or other Details for Vendor(i.e XK02) and that to Contact Person.
Other ideas are also welcome.
Can anyone suggest? Or Guru's, u want some more clarification.

Hi
check for the BAPI - "BAPI_VENDOR_EDIT". I m not sure about the address details in this.
You can also use LSMW to update the records. It would be easy.
Thanks
Sachin

Contact person of vendors created inconsistently in my organizative structu

Hi,
1.When I create a new contact person for one vendor, is created without position. The vendor is correctly created in vendors organizative structure and the contact person is pointed out there but in organizative structure the user hasn't got position.
2. In order to do a goods receipt the vendor user can't view their purchase order .

Jorge

Hi Atul
please you can see my response in bold letter
Contact persons for external partners (Vendors/bidders) are to be created from the web interface.
DO NOT USE BP transaction to maintain BUPA & org data !!!
Use web transactions instead. They are handling all the needed objects, and you can not do the same with BP.
In web transation "Maintain Business Partner", you can add contact for an existing vendor.
You can add a contact to a vendor, with or without creating a user ID (you can then create it later when needed).
I'm using BBPMAININT web service. Create employee for Business partner and I'm including the SAP user data.
Please see the related links, which will definitely help ->
Re: How to assign contact person user id to Vendor uploaded from ECC?
UNASSIGNMENT OF VENDOR CONTACT PERSON
Re: User Assignment to Vendor
I have seen the threads but I can't see nothing which resolve my problem
For displaying the POs of all the users, assign the standard SAP roles to the vendor user
Menu entry is 'Manage Buisiness Partners' (BBPMAININT) and is included in roles SAP_BBP_STAL_ADMINISTRATOR and SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER, SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASE_MANAGER, SAP_BBP_STAL_OPERAT_PURCHASER, SAP_BBP_STAL_STRAT_PURCHASER.
In my case I am using a SAP_BBP_STAL_ADMINISTRATOR
So, I can create my SRM user with BBPMAININT, but my central person appears without description (with business partner) and there is no position connected to my new user. I suppose I don't need to create the position manually, is this correct?

Vendor Master : Customer Contact person

Hi all,
In my Vendor Master (XKo1/xko2) when i change the Customer contact details an idoc should be triigered with these deetails.
These data in the Contact Person View is stored in KNVK table.
the stadard idoc Cremas idoc does no support those details.
I used the Adr3mas03 idoc, but the required data is not tirggered.
Is there any way around this.
Regards,

Hi
Sorry.
Since ERP 2005, vendors master data do support maintenance of contact persons in the core.
Previously, this was true only for IS-Retail.
ALE Distribution of vendor contact persons has never been developped.
So your ADR3MAS idocs do surely integrates perfectly in the inbound system expect that this will be an orphaned Person.
The link will the contact person (KNVK) will never occurs as there is no E1KNVKM segment in CREMAS !

Vendor master data - Contact person (4.7 release)

Hi All,
I'm working on SAP 4.7 and I can't use the contact person in the vendor master data (it's hidden) because I'm not working with a SAP retail system. If I change standard program MF02KFMR in the form RETAIL_OR_STANDARD I can change the value of the field INT_SYSDEF-SYSDEF (from 00 to 01) as SAP was retail system and the view contatct person appears.
Do you think it's a good idea or I can find some problems in the vendor master data with this change (INT_SYSDEF-SYSDEF = 01)?
Thanks and Regards,
Luca

Partner vendor conctact person for projects

Hi guys!
Iu2019m trying to create a vendor contact person for my project. I want to have a vendor and then I want a vendor contact person.
I started in t/code u201COPSPAR1u201D to define a partner roles, I create a partner role u201CVendoru201D and u201CVendor Contact Personu201D with type of partner u201CLI Vendoru201D resp. u201CAP Contact Personsu201D then I create a Partner schema for WBS in t/code u201COPSPAR3u201D, as far as good.
In the project it seems to be good but when I will choose a contact person it turns to be contact person for customers not for vendors!?
I think both customer and vendors use the same function, but think I should choose if I want a customer or vendors contact person t/code u201COPSPAR1u201D but there is not that kind of partner type only one call u201CAP Contact Personsu201D.
Do you know if the purpose of this function is right or is a bug? Do you have any idea how to use it? Maybe itu2019s meant to be use this way?
Regards
Jose Marin

This is the response I got from SAP:
this is standardbehaviour.
When you select as role "contact person" and call the F4-help for
the field "partner", the system opens the search help for customer.
This systembehaviour is hard-coded.
You have to use the "name"-field instead. When you set the name,
only the contact person number is hidden.
This systemehaviour is standard and has also been confirmed by
development.

How to Upload the Contact Person to Cremas05 Idoc

Hi Guru's,
I have one question, I am a novice in SAP.
I want to upload the contact person to Cremas05 Idoc . This data is present on Debmas Idoc but not in Cremas.
Do you have an idea how we can do?
Regards,
Moh.

Hello Moh,
I'm sorry for the information but there is no ALE support for the vendor contact persons.
This feature has not been developped and there is no plan to develop it for the next releases.
The only solution I can see is a consulting project.
SAP can help for you this.
If you are interested in such activity, I would encourage you to open a customer message in SAP marketplace under component LO-MD-BP-VM and ask that the message gets forwarded to development support. You may also add my name too in order to speed up processing.
Sorry for that information
Best regards
Alain

Creation of Contact Person for a vendor in SUS, MM SUS scenario

Hi All,
We are working on EBP for bidding with SRM 5.0 and ECC6.0 as the backend. When we do BBPGETVD for the vendor root we have to create a contact person for the vendor to logon.
Our clients requirement is that all the data in the R/3 has to come to EBP including the telephone number and email addresses so that the vendor number should be created as the contact persons userid.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Best regards,
Sridhar.

Hi,
Also you dont need to enter any roles while creating the Contact person for a vendor.You just need to enter the employee/user details who will be the contact person for the vendor and after you save all the data ,the CP for the vendor will be created and the system will issue a message "Contact person XXXX for BP yyyyy created".

Contact Person for Vendor in SRM/CUA

Hello SRM Expert,
We are using Central user administration (CUA and like other system SRM is connected to CUA. I am getting the error 'Central system not accessible' while creating the employee (manage business partner) for business partner (Vendor). When we remove CUA then the error disappear.
Could you please let us know would be our approach for creating employee for vendors (for bidding, auction etc..).
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Login to SRM
2. Click on Manage business partner (BBPMAININT)
3. Look for Employee for Business Partner 'Create' option and create a employee for one of the vendors.
4. You will get the message Central 'System not accessible' .
I know one approach where I can create a SU01 in advance from CUA and then in manage business partner use this user but this is very long approach looking at the number of vendors we have. Is there a simpler way ?
Thanks,

Pradeep
Sorry yes it is not specifically about external users. You should review the note again, particularly scenario 2.
Essentially the note explains that, in a CUA environment, to create a user for an external contact person you need to create the following entry in table "BBP_CUST":
Key = "EBP_CUA_SCENARIO"; Value = "ACTIVE".
If you do not want to user table maintenance you can create the entry via the following IMG menu path:
Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Technical Basic Settings >
Deactivate User Access to Solution Manager.
(Ignore the transaction title this transaction is essenatially maintenance of table "BBP_CUST").
Then you must ensure that the user specified on the RFC Definition for the CUA client has authorisations to create users IN THE CUA CLIENT, (it already has authorisations to create in the SRM client). This lack of authorisation is probably the reason for your error message.
