Validity range of contact person relationship BUR001 not changeable?

Hi guys,
Apparently it is not possible to change the validity range (Valid from and Valid to) of the BUR001 relationship.
The suggested workaround is a Z-copy of the BUR001 in which it is possible to change the validity range settings. The problem with this 'solution' is the huge amount of partner determination which takes place on several placed within the system (e.g. partner determination procedures on activities, search functionality etc).
What is the best way to use contact person relationships which can have a validity range?
We are on a CRM7.0 system.
All suggestions are highly appreciated!

The answer to the above question:
In CRM7.0 a flag is added to activate the time dependency on the BUR001 relationship:
CRM_BUT050     Time Dependency: Contact Person Relationship
This can be activated via the following path:
Cross-application Components  --> SAP Business Partner --> Activation

  • BP relationship: validity period for contact person relationship

    Hi all,
    In CRM 4:
    I wish that the Rel category "has contact person" (BUR001) will have from...to-date (validity period).
    But even though view BUB020 is listed in the views of this category in Tx BUBA - the fields from...to...are not active when I create new contact person relationship in Tx BP.
    what is the problem?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Please go to transaction BUBN and in that one field group would be there called 'Relationship Category/Role Definition Category'.
    Select that and go to "Field Group--> Fields" and add the following two fields:
    Table                        FieldName
    BUS050DFLD           DATE_FROM_STR
    BUS050DFLD           DATE_TO_STR
    Dont check any of the check boxes like "input field" and "not a required field".
    Save it and come out and then again launch BP trx to get the desired result.
    This is how i solved my problem in CRM 4.0.
    Please let me know if you have problems.

  • Contact Person address Data not found

    Hi All,
    I am finding an strange error in Partner determination process for Contact Person.
    System is able to pick the contact person, but it always says no address data found for contact person. I had checked all config in partner dtermination procedure and can see that all setting related to address detremination is available. But still i am not able to get this data in my transaction for activity/lead or contract.
    Please suggest.

    Hello,
    This is a common mistake when processing Contact Persons. In fact, the address data you see in the WebUI for your contact person is the address of the Company - Contact Person relationship and not the contact data of the contact person itself. The error message is probably referring to the address data of the person itself.
    Eg I work for my company, my address data as a contact person for my company will the the company's address, fax, e-mail, ... Beside that I also have my personal address, where I actually live with a private e-mail and so on.
    My company -_-_-_ has the contact person  -
    > Me
    Address data         (=address data eq to comp)       My personal address
    Hope this helps,

    HI! Bob,
    I am in a fix, actually i cant upgrade to sp004(presently in sp002) because it probably would also affect compatibility with other servers  as i am using NWDI TREX IPC, so it is not posible for me to upgrade to SP004............
    I am still looking forward if you can provide me any help in
    If you require to see also contact person-relationships
    in "Relationships", you need to eliminate the filtering in BOL
    (class CL_BUPA_IL_RELATION->FILTER_RELATIONSHIPS). By creating a new
    implementation class (i.e. ZL_BUPA_IL_RELATION with superclass
    CL_BUPA_IL_RELATION) and entering this class in viewcluster
    CRMVC_BUIL for external object BuilRelationship), you can redefine
    method FILTER_RELATIONSHIPS and implement logic according to your needs
    I am not able to apply the above solution, as FILTER_RELATIONSHIPS is a private method of the class CL_BUPA_IL_RELATION so how can i redefine it.
    Please help me out.............
    Thanks a ton

  • Contact Person Relationship to SP.

    Hi Experts,
    I am faced up with a situation; where if am removing a Contact Person relationship for a Sold to Party; the relationship to the another contact person gets deleted. Possible reason could be both the contact person are identical.
    Now, how can i identify whether both the Cont. Person are identical or not; even though GUID for both is different. Is there any field value that makes them identical.

    Hi,
    I have gone through your query. The question here is bit misleading. You have mentioned that when you delete the contact person relationship of a Sold to party, relationship to another contact person is deleted. No two contact persons can be identical in the system. Whenever you create a new BP in the CRM system, every one are unique in its own way with a New GUID and New BP number assigned to them.
    Even though they can remain as duplicate, but 2 contact persons cannot be identical which will lead to a scenario like you have mentioned here. In my opinion this cannot occur. If you elaborate further i can help you out.
    I hope this helps.

  • Relationship Type field in Contact Person Relationship Web Ui

    Hi
    In SAP CRM we can differentiate a relationship using relationship type. This field is available in SAP GUI, in "Contact Person Relationship" category, whereas it is not present in Web UI screen for contact. In our project there is requirement to make it visible in UI also. Please help me in this regards.
    Thanks & Regards
    Hitsm

    Hi Hitesh,
    Since Contact Person is a very common relationship, it has been removed from the relationship type and has moved into an assignment block. Invariably whosoever is a contact person will come under that assignment block.

  • Collection contact persons relationship in FSCM

    Hi All,
    Request your help in creation of Collection contact persons relationship in FSCM and find them in process receivables screen.
    We are not mantaining customer contacts in customer master. But only in FSCM
    What is the use of collection contact person if they donot show up in process receivables screen?..Please help. i want collection contact person to show up in "Get contact Person" list  in process receivables.
    Thanks - Donny

    Donnesh,
    If you dont record the contact person in the customer/ BP then it needs to be stored somewhere for it to be defaulted.
    The only way to do this is to add the name once in the process receivables screen and it will then stay there and also be copied through in to the create customer contact screen.
    You could look for a BAPI to load the name and number into the process receivables screen, but this would mean processing the customer via the worklist.

  • How to change Number range to Contact Person in Customer Master Record

    Dear all,
    We are maintaining contact person details under contact person tab in customer master record.
    Currently contact person is being created using VAP1 transaction.
    Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?
    and where can we change the number range of contact person.
    I have searched a lot to find the solution for this. Please help me to resolve this issue. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Best regards
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    To your first question: "Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?"
    Yes, you can enter the contact person directly in the customer master in the contact person tab. A number is generated automatically.
    To your second question, go to transaction SNUM, and there use object "PARTNER". Here you can configure number range for contact persons.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem with Contact person Relationship...

    Hi All,
    I got the following issue.
    "Contact person relationship already exists between partners &1 and &2...."
    For this, I have checked the Business partners, tables and GUID's in R/3 and as well as in CRM and checked BP consistency fix...
    I have seen change history also, this problem occured to BUPA_REL B.Doc type. While after doing the Synchronization also i am getting errors like  "BP already exists and Partner (GUID No) errors occured...
    Please advise regarding this issue...
    Thanks in Advance.....

    Hello,
    You are leaving an unmanaged object in the tree when the transaction attempts to commit. If you are going to persist a new VerticalUser, it must reference an existing or managed VerticalHommeArt.
    If the VerticalUser references a new VerticalHommeArt, either persist the VerticalHommeArt before or set the verticalHommeArt relationship to cascade persist

  • Email Campaign Execution: Contact person Relationship

    Hi All,
    I created a target group which contains a list of Contact Persons. I am testing executing an email campaign against this target group.
    This contact person also exists as a relationship to a prospect.
    The email address maintained on the contact person master data may be different from the email address maintained on the relationship. Our end goal here is to execute the email campaing against the addresses maintained on the relationsip and not on the master data. When I execute the campaing, it sends the email out to the address maintained on the contact person master data. Do you know what I can do for it to pick up the email address maintained on the relationship? Is it standard CRM functionality for it to pick up the email address from the master data rather than the relationship?
    Any comments/help on this would be greatly appreaciated.
    Thanks!
    Kiran.

    Hi!
    I know that has been a while since you two resolved these question, but can someone give me a hint with this?
    I'm facing a similiar question... I need to send campaign mails to contact persons (to the relationships contact mails). But i can not see any B2B flag... Can someone please tell me where can i check this field? (I'm working with CRM 7.0 (and Webclient UI))
    Thanks in advance

  • Employees act on behalf of customers without contact person relationship?

    Hello - we have internal customer care employees that need to be able to support our ecommerce customers in WebChannel...is there a way for my employees to be able to do this without establishing a "Is Contact Person For" relationship between my employees and our ecommerce customers?
    We are running into problems with the volume of relationships required and, in particular, middleware/ECC seems very inefficient at processing this relationship data to the point of shutting down BP middleware traffic.
    Thank you - Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Internal employees can order/access B2B application without being a relationship maintained. This can be done through Business on Behalf application. this application can be accessed at htp://server:port/b2b_2/init.do. Once you have configured this application any employee can login into this application and order on behalf of customers. Once the order is created it will not create a relation ship with the employee.

  • CRM 7.0 Contact person in order not replicated to R/3

    Hello all,
    I am currently facing issue with contact persons in CRM orders. There are several partners in the CRM order. Standard ones like ship-to party is replicated to R/3; employee roles are also replicated into R/3 within an order; contact persons (no matter if standard or Z) are not replicated from CRM order to R/3. There is neither no error message in BDOC nor in order.
    Partners are set correctly for mapping between R/3 and CRM (including Z partners) -
    tables CRMPARNR (R/3) and table CRMM_BUT_CONTNO (CRM) checked; GUIDs are there
    Users do change these contact persons manually sometimes.
    If order changed in ERP - including contact persons adding/changing - all partner roles are transfered to CRM for an order correctly.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks for your help
    Radim

    Hello,
    there is an important GUID that need to be determine, the contact persons in my case need to selected via partner determination otherwise the partner gets deleted in R/3. The determination is creating the relation to the partner which is transfered to R/3 and can be checked in the BDoc. This has solved the issue
