1.Can we write new functions or we have to modify the existing one?
You will write the Java functions based on the custom VC functions in the R/3 system. You will closely work with the R/3 Variant Configuration team and get the details of the custom functions that are developed in the design time VC model for supporting their runtime VC. This runtime environment is not available in CRM. Only the design time information is downloaded as knowledgebase.
Hint:
SAP provides the Java code for all the standard VC functions in R/3.
In R/3 see function group CUPR for the standard VC functions)
In R/3 one uses transactions
cu65,
cu66 and
cu67
to maintain the interface definition of custom variant functions. Here they desgin and develop
FUNCTION - read access to the KB and
PFUNCTION - read and write access to configuration and more.
You will actively work with your R/3 VC team to get the full design details of these functions.
2.how our custome functions are linking to SAP ,means if we create java user exit we will register that by giving full path of the class and finally we use that in pricing procedure or somewhere. Is there any these type of procedures are needed for VC?
Variant Configuration is the other face of the IPC and should not be confused with any of the pricing features of IPC. The SCE ( configuration engine) deals with the configurable products. The design time confguration of configurable products are downloaded as kowledgebase in R/3.
Since the design time (KB) is available to IPC, during runtime the reference to pfunctions and functions are known to IPC and IPC by design will look for the instances for the classes for these Variant functions.

Java User Exit for Variant Function logic in CRM

Hello Experts,
We have implemented Variant configuration in ECC with some variant functions / function modules. Now we have to implement the corresponding Java class in CRM for the knowledge base & version to work.
Can anyone help me out to find the correct userexit where I need to implement this Java class consisting the variant function logic.
Thank You
Satish

I don't have any CRM system at hand, but I'm sure there are some BAdI's for this. Look in SE18 for BP or BUS, and i'm sure you will find something.
One suggestion though: Before going for the BadI, try and see if CRM also uses change pointers for sending Idoc's . This case you wont need any user exits / badis, an probably no programming at all.
Transaction
BD50: Activate Change Ptrs for Mess. Type
BD61: Activate Change Pointers - Generally
and use report RBDMIDOC for triggering IDoc.

"transaction variant" functionality in the Web Client

I'm opening this message for a customer this message is a consulting...
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Kaoro Kobashigawa
In the SAP GUI we have Transactions that use transaction variants. For example we have ZBUP1A that is based upon BUP1. It uses a transaction variant to default certain important fields like "Grouping" "BP Type" etc. so BP are created correctly.
We are in the process of CRM 2007 upgrade from CRM 5.0 and plan to use CRM WebClient UI for all user transactions.
1. Can we put to use the same Transaction variants for the CRM WebClient UI without using the Transaction Launcher to call the GUI transactions (as SAP does-not recommend the use of SAP GUI Transactions except for
administrative related functions)? If so is it just configuration?
2. If we cannot use the Transaction variants for the CRM WebClient UI, is there a way to pass parameters to the standard transactions by making modifications to the logical links provided in the Navigation Bar? If so, please elaborate.

BP merge functionality in CRM 2007 Web UI - Buswu02 objects

hello champs,
Could any help me out to resolve the below issue:
I have a issue with BP Account merge functionality in crm 2007, I have made the config change to create the cleansing case, create task, triggered the bupa_realign to merge the duplicate customer to Master record.
In this case, Task is created and transferring the BP master data and marked the duplicate BP to to be archived but the issue is, we do want to transfer the service tickets from duplicate customer to master customer.
I have also check all the setting in buswu01 and buswu02 (clear and clear_rep variants), for me its looks every thing fine but service ticket are not transferred to master account.
It would be great help if any one help to resolve the issue! Thanks a lot in advance.

This question has been resolved by me only, we have implemented the BP merge functionality with web ui crm 2007.
And
It was the issue with objects maintenance in tran buswu01 and transportation to testing client and other systems.
now BP merge fun. works fine:
to config:
User the BP merge funn. in web ui.
Assign the Task for merging the BP's
Maintain the all relevant object to transfer.
which will trigger a batch job and will transfer all the transact from duplicate account to master account and will mark the duplicate account to Archive.
any ho thanks for all your suggestions and help.

FM call from Variant Function in JAVA SCE

Hello,
I have an issue with Variant Configuration in CRM WEB UI / WebShops.
We have created a variant function in ECC to read/pull a customer master value (KNVV table). This is working fine in ECC & got the desired result.
Now we need replicate the same in CRM. For this we need to create KB, Version & write a variant function in Java class in SCE. In that variant function we need to call a function module and get the customer master / Business partner value as similar to ECC process described above.
But we see that the SAP standard is not supporting FM calls from VF in Java. i.e. we are unable to call the JCO call to a CRM function module from SCE. The package for User defined classes "com.sap.sce.user" and the method inside it public boolean execute(fn_args args, Object obj) { ..... } has no option to make a FM call.
Has anyone faced the similar requirement and has any resolution for this?
Thanks,
Surya.

Hi Eric,
You sound quite familiar with the variant functions. I am also working on IPC-SCE
variant functions for few years now.
We have a situation where I am building some debug logs in one java variant function and want to display it to the web UI at some condition.
Is there any object(like context etc.) that IPC server-side and Webapps share?
I can write that log to a text file and read it from web ui ... but I wanna avoid that.
Is there any other way you know of???

Ruchika

Spell Check Functionality in CRM 2007

Hi Experts,
Do we have spell check functionality in CRM 2007, If yes, How & where can we enable it ?
For example if a sales representative/Manager types something in NOTES, they should able to spellcheck.
Thanks & Regards
Shiven

I dont think there is SAP spellcheck functionality available. Your best bet would be to download a spellcheck plug-in for your web browser.
Hope this helps

Variant Functions for PP Routings

Hello,
is it possible with the "Variant Functions" to call in a super routing a FM to get some values from a ZTABLE to use this values
in the object dependency syntax to changes values in the routing?
kind regards,
Bernhard

Dear,
In order to grab sales order to the formula for work center selection or value you have to use another characteristic with a reference tables assigned to it. You are correct, you will need another Characteristic, which is called a reference characteristic with "Not Ready for Input',. Go to the Additional Data Tab for that Characteristic and you can then specify the Table Name as VBAP and then enter in the Proper Field Name for the Quantity from VBAP.
Characteristic Value based upon your Reference Characteristic. Also, the possibility of a Variant Function to set the Value of a Characteristic to sy-unam.
Please try and come back.

Is therre drag and relate functionality in CRM 4.0 busi pack for sap 60.2

Is there drag and relate functionality in CRM 4.0 busi pack for sap 60.2 .
Rajendra redekar

Hi Sriram,
Mobile component changed to .Net in 5.0 so the first upgrade of support packages should not be a problem. Your only concern will be the rollout of the support package upgrade to the users in the field.
I don't know much about the upgrade from 4.0 to 7.0 and the complications around the custom code migration from vb to .net. I imagine this is something you may need to talk to SAP about.
Depending on the amount of work involved it may be easy to upgrade the CRM system and do a re-implementation of the mobile component.
Good luck.
Cheers

Variants functionality for a custom made report

Hello everybody,
i want to integrate the variant functionality we all know from reports in a custom made report (Dynpro). Is there any kinda generic functionality available you can hook up with? Like FMs or something?
best regards,
Markus

Hello,
maybe i should start from the very beginning. I am developing an application/report which has besides standard input fields a table (editable Grid Control) as selection fields.
I started off using the selection-screen functionality and integrated the Grid Control as a subscreen. Working great. But as it come to developing the functionaility "variant saving" i went into a problem. The standard input field were covered by the SAP standard functionalities, but not the table (grid control).
What i managed to implement using the possibility of custom code at the standard events AT SELECTION-SCREEN and AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT was when you click on the save button in a report to save my table content in a own database table with the link to the name of the standard variant. (Systemfield VARI hold the data). I even was able to load my saved table data, when loading a variant. This worked only on the first run (event initialization), as clicking on the load variant button in a report does NOT give me any return-code, like pressing the save button. It just raises the event PBO, as does pressing the enter button. So my problem is, i do not have the info at runtime, whether someone has pressed the load variant button and selected a variant or whether someone just pressed the return key, both do invoke PBO and i cant tell the difference.
So i had the idea of instead of using a report, developing a own dynpro application (Module pool).
best regards,
Markus

New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

Hi CRM Gurus!,
Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure".
These are the values. fro my new function:
Function: ZSLFN004
Text: Additional Processor
Abbrev.: ZAMS
Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
The partner functions in my procedure are:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Hi Vishant,
Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Replication of Partner Function from CRM 5 to ECC6 Issue

Hi experts
Is someone able to assist with pointing me in the correct direction to resolve a partner function replication issue please. We create all entities/BPs in CRM, and replicate them to ECC.
We have a custom partner function, ZF, that is held against Payer and Sold-to in ECC. This is a separate entity in CRM, but is sent according to relationship assignment to ECC. We have noticed that this partner function is not being updated correctly.
Scenarios:
Ending a relationship between Account/Customer (Payer/sold-to in ECC) and the Farm (ZF partner function) - the ZF partner function is removed in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
New Account or Customer creation in ECC with ZF relationship assigned, ZF partner function is being created in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
HOWEVER, when adding a new ZF relationship in CRM to an existing Payer/Sold-to, the ZF partner function does not get created in ECC. This is incorrect behaviour - new valid relationship should trigger ZF partner function in ECC.
Also, name changes to the ZF maintained in CRM, is not being updated in ECC for existing relationships. Instead, the Partner Function tab, ZF type, displays the old name for the Farm.
BUPAREL bdocs are being created and sent to ECC, however something is happening on the receiver end. How do we trace this, and does anyone have any ideas on where to start to find out what is happening here?
Many thanks
Cara

Solved, internal issue usage tab not being completed correctly so not assigning partner function

We would like to know the difference between the Worklist and Inbox functionality in SAP CRM.
Is there any change in functionalities of the two, in 4.0 and 5.0. What the different settings for these two functionalities in any system. How do we identify whether a system has implemented worklist or Inbox.
Thanks in advance,
