Using Netweaver ID Management to map Business Partners

Kristian,
The Netweaver ID management is linked to (e.g.) a Business Partner based on SAP HR and maps roles like authorisation, based on roles and tasks based on protocols like LDAP. It is a strong and usefull framework.
Can SAP ID management also be linked to the Business Partner, in such away such that the role of a Business Partner in a "network of business relations" can be used in determining access rights?
1)
As an example, if in a purchaseorder a vendor is identified with a role for a person of that vendor (as mapped in SRM) can then this ID be used to set access to the purchase order and the underlying case (of that logistics order)?
2)
Or as another example, if a payment is not recieved, and a collections case is made, can this then be accessed by the Business Partner associated to the collections case as bailiff?
Of course we touch on issues such as IDentity federation here.
albert kuiper

Albert,
currently SAP does not offer a special connector for the integration between identities (in the Identity Center) and business partners (in CRM, SRM, ...) which would be neccessary to support the describved scenario.
However, we know about the requirement and are checking how to solve the isssue with one of the later releases.
Kind regards

  • Can FI-CAx be used for making outgoing payments to business partners

    Hi All,
    Can we use the installment plan in FI-CA for the outgoing payments to business partners. Our company has lot of lease contracts and these contracts have payments due to be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. All these lease contracts are managed in SAP Real estate Flexible objects. We want to use FI-CAx for making payments to these contracts and hence we are looking for integration between FI-CA and RE-flexible objects.
    From what I heard FI-CA is a receivables module and is not best suited for payables, so please let me know if we can use the outgoing payment plan and installment plan in FI-CA for making payments to business partners.
    This is a bottleneck in our implementation. So please help me asap.
    Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded to all the useful solutions.

    Hi Santhosh,
    FYI my answers below
    Can we use the instalment plan in FI-CA for the outgoing payments to business partners.
    u2022I would say Yeah. ofcourse there is a way to do it provided you have created existing OI in Real estate in FI-CAX. This is because, weu2019d Refund money to the customer. In the same token I do not see any problem in paying monies to them!!!!
    u2022You need to create your RE-FX contracts unto FICA as Contract Accounts <1:1 ratio>.
    Our company has lot of lease contracts and these contracts have payments due to be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. All these lease contracts are managed in SAP Real estate Flexible objects. We want to use FI-CAx for making payments to these contracts and hence we are looking for integration between FI-CA and RE-flexible objects.
    u2022Assuming that you have your RE-Fx data unto FICA, next step is to configure Instalment plans < monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual >.
    u2022Next you create Instalment plans for the contract accounts <FICA> as required.
    u2022Now, if you want to pay the amount, you need to attach outgoing payment method in Contract Account, Configure your Payment program.
    u2022Now run your Payment Run <FPY1 =4.72; FPYS = ECC>.
    u2022All the OI would be cleared. If you want to send the file to the bank, you can do so or you can also issue cheques.
    From what I heard FI-CA is a receivables module and is not best suited for payables, so please let me know if we can use the outgoing payment plan and instalment plan in FI-CA for making payments to business partners.
    u2022Look above.
    OI = Open Item
    Other points you need to consider:
    1. Are the amounts in RE-FX consistent <equal through out the installment plans>?
    2. Do you want to create separate Installment plans in FICA?
    3. If yes, above should be helpful.
    4. If not, identify an Interface between RE-FX and FICA.
    5. What are your plans to close the Contracts in RE-FX once all the Installment plans are being paid in FICA?
    6. Do you want to establish an Interface between RE-FX and FICA so that data would be transferred bt them automatically?
    7.Is point no 6 one way or 2 ways <i.e RE-FX to FICA and vice versa>
    8. What is the volume and frequency?
    9.Other points if any
    Does this helps?

  • What is the best solution to create the business partners in CRM?

    Hi all,
    I need to migrate the business partners (general data, address, marketing attributes ) in CRM from an excel file
    What is the best solution to create the business partners with these informations?
    I tried LSMW but to enter the SALES and MARKETING atributes in BP i have to "click" on the attribute and not realized by the record.
    Thanks in advance
    best regard
    miguel

    Hi Miguel,
       Always preferred to use XIF Function Modules to create Business Partners and Relationships.
       CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE
       CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE
       Using this function modules you can populate all most all fields in BP including Z fields(If it created through EEWB), except Marketing Attributes.
       For marketing attributes try to use FM CRM_MKTBP_CREATE_LIST_BPS_OB.
       Have a look at the notes 609236, 1081545 and 1239018. This will give you some idea, how to upload and update  marketing attributes.

  • Using HR data in R/3 to create business partners in Solution Manager

    Is it OK for me to setup Solution Manager to automatically download HR data from R/3 to create the Business Partners (employee role) in Solution Manager?
    We have setup SAP CRM 4.0 to automatically download the HR data and create Business Partners (employee role) in CRM.  Since Solution Manager has the CRM component in it, I assume we can do it as well in Solution Manager.

  • Automatic creation of business partners in Solution Manager system in Charm

    When I automatically create business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems, they are created of type "Business Partner (Gen)" and they are not associated to the user with the same name id in the Solution Manager system, but they are connected to the remote users in the satellite systems. For this reason I change manually every business partner making it of type "employee" and connecting it to the user in the Solution Manager system. In this way I can use it like partner function. Is this the correct procedure to follow? If not, what do I have to do? Which is the correct way to generate business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems?
    Thanks
    Antonello

    Hi,
    It is advisable to have the same login name for the satellite systems and SOLMAN user.
    Business partner can be created thru tcode DSWP -> Select Solution -> Edit -> Create business partner.
    You need to create a business partner only once by the above method, even if you have a number of satellite systems.
    Once the BP is created , go to tcode BP -> select the business partner -- > In the Identification Tab, enter the systems which will be accessed by the user. Here you can also give the SLM system ID in addition to the other satellite systems.
    The employee connection process which you do is correct

  • Idoc DEBCOR - Extend use to Business Partners and customise

    I am writing a high level technical design document on a new interface for my current client. We are currently in the scoping/blueprint phase.
    We will be implementing CRM(?), ECC 6.0 and PI7.0
    I have been tasked with writing/creating an outbound interface from CRM/ECC to send Business Partners from ECC to an external application via PI. Preferably using standard SAP functions/transactions!
    Can I use the DEBCOR Idoc and customise/add the additional segments I require for the additional fields for this interface?
    I was hoping to use BD12 (send Customers - Master Data Distribution) as well, but unfortunately, I do not have a sandpit/development system to use yet as we are still "blueprinting", therefore I am unable to test my assumptions before finalising the HTD document.
    If DEBCOR cannot be used is there any logic in use the ADRMAS anc customising this?
    I was hoping to use change pointers as well, but I guess once I have the Idoc configured, I can work out the distribution model in BD64..
    Has anyone sent Business Partners from ECC and if so, what methods were used?

    I am going to try and see if BusinessPartnerDataManagementBusinessPartnerEventOut.informBusinessPartnerAsBulk fits my requirements.

  • How to delete Business partners in use

    Hi All,
    I have accidently removed some  business partners from table BUT000. After I realized it I tried creating them again but I got the error that Personal Address does not exist. After some help from experts I realized that this is because entries for those business partners were still there in some tables like BUT020. Now i tried deleting these business partners entirely using BUPA_TEST_DELETE. But i got an error saying that these BP's are in use in some transactions and hence cannot be deleted.
    Please advice how can I achieve this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Saket

    Hi Saket,
    Check the Tcode - BUPA_DEL.

  • MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Using Business Partners

    In a previous (long) thread I had asked about using Business Partners and the problem I was having assigning work to a BP.  I keep getting the error message "no work center found for resource".  I was told that to fix this problem I was told "... For the work center error, all you need to do is deactivate the work center checks. Yes, these checks make relevance when HR is active.  Check the IMG: Sources of Demand -> Orders -> Activate Additional Checks When Saving Order Here you can deactivate the work center checks."
    I deactivated the work center checks in the specified MRS IMG item but I still get the "no work center found for resource" error.  Any other suggestions?
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Oops !! I am sorry ...
    The old solution (deactivate the additional check) works only while integration.
    You should deactivate here:
    Sources of Demand --> Orders --> Control Integration Between MRS and PM/CS
    Here, in the frame "Backward Integration" activate "No backward integration" for work center.
    This should surely help.

  • Mapping Between Business Partners and Customers in CRM and ERP

    Hi,
    I wanted to know how are the business Partners and Customers replicated from ERP to CRM systems and Vice Versa. I would also want to know how can i check this mapping in the tables.
    eg: Get a customer or BP from the ERP system, how do i find it in CRM system.
    Regards,
    Rishav

    Hi Rishav,
    Here is how it works.
    The table for customers in ERP is KNA1 and the field for customer number is KUNNR.
    In CRM the table CRMM_BUT_CUSTNO contains the mapping between customer number in ERP and the BP GUID
    in CRM. The table BUT000 in CRM contains the mapping between BP GUID in CRM and the BP Number
    Apart from that the table CRMV_BUPA_CUSTNO contains the mapping between Business Partner Number and Customer.
    Hope this clarifiies your doubt.
    Best Regards,
    Shourav.

  • Mapping Copy Control for Business Partners in 7.1

    Hi everybody,
    while in 7.0 IMG activity "Define Mapping Rules for Copy Control" in "Copy Control for Change Management" offers 3 options (partners, texts and dates) it offers only texts and dates in 7.1. Can anyone tell me where I can define any kind of mapping to copy a partner for one document to it's successor in 7.1?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    sorry to say but Daniels way doesn't work. In 7.1 ChaRM and Incident the transaction type copy has changed in a way that we invoke the CRM standard Copy Control and have a BadI there only for specific things.
    Partner copy runs via CRM standard partner copy. That means:
    1.) You have assigned an access sequence in each partner Determination (area Partner Functions in Procedure) for the partner function: 
    2.) You have customized an access sequence is defined here:
    So, please just customize the partner copy as you would in CRM standard.,
    Best regards,

  • Mapping to Variables Using SIT Connection Manager

    Hello,
    I have a quick question regarding the SIT Connection manager and mappings.  I was wondering if it is possible to map to variables, using the SIT Connection Manager Wizard, that I can make in the Project Window and drop into my block diagram.  I have the SIT system buried under another VI and it is a hassle to keep having to connect the variables up to their values.  I would like to just be able to map directly to them.  If this is or is not a possibility please let me know.  Thank you.

    Hey Michael,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  I am not sure if I completely understand your question.  Would it be possible for you to walk me through the process you are currently going through to set up these mappings?
    Also, I wanted to clarify what you meant by connecting to variables.  I know you can use the manager to map to indicators and controls, but I am not sure if this is what you are trying to accomplish.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
