Vendor Number Range Conflict SAP ECC and CRM 2007

I need to load SAP ECC Vendor data from SAP to CRM and have setup most of the configuration as required. However I have an issue, the vendor number range used currently in our SAP system is already in use in our CRM system and has been for some time (for Prospects and Contacts). What is the best approach to dealing with this issue...
My initial thought was to see if we could have two different numbers for the same vendor in ECC and SAP CRM
eg SAP Vendor "50000001" equates to CRM "VEN50000001"
Is such as approach supported? Can you point me to the documentation that shows how such an approach could be implemented. What approaches have others done to address similar issues?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
By the way we are on CRM 2007 sp4

Hi Eddie,
SAP Note 1044637 - Customize Vendor Numbers
Implement the code present in the attachment. You can
change it according to your own requirements. The example code
suffixes 'VEND' before the first six digits of the vendor
number before it is downloaded to CRM.
Thanks,

Vendor Number Range relation with account group.

Dear All,
I have one more doubt. Kindly clarify.
I know that account group and vendor number range and linked with each other. Number range can be assigned to one or many account groups. Let's consider a case where 3 Account groups (assume X,Y & Z) have one common number range. When we create a vendor, in an account group (for example, X) vendor code assigned internally is 100000.
Subsequently if we create another vendor in the account group Y, will the vendor code assigned intenally be, "100001", considering intervals to be of 1 or any other number falling in the number range assigned to this account group?
Does there lie any rule or method which assign the code in this manner or any other...?
EnjoySAP,
Thanks

Hi,
When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number comes from the number range provided for the account group.
Internal number assignment
Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined, irrespective of any number of account groups attached to which the number range has been assigned.

Reset of vendor number range

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in which we can reset the vendor number range? We have already created vendors but some numbers were skipped. Is there a way in which we can re-use it?

no you cannot reuse the skipped numbers. Do not reset the number range.
You will certainly hit the situation that next number would be a number for which you already have a vendor, then SAP cannot save and not proceed further, until you are chaning the number in the range again.
But you can change the buffer setting, then SAP will not skip numbers in future.
execute SNUM, enter KREDITOR, click change and set buffer to 1

Optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM

Hi,
We are planning to extract sales orders, sales activites and service orders to dispaly it on the PDF factsheet of the account.
As of now, the PDF factsheet takes a long time to retrieve the data from ECC to CRM. Can you please suggest us on ways to optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi.

Hello,
[SAP Note 636906 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/636906]is quite useful here.
Many times, the performance is poor due to function module CRM_CCKPT_EXPORTSUMMARY. This function module gets the customer number, the sales organization and the fact sheet view. If in CRM customizing, you use complete view (001), then all the views in ERP including all the info blocks will be retrieved, which will cause performance issue.
To solve the issue, please use a limited view to retrieve the data from ERP - especially a view, which does not contain info block 013.
Hope it helps

Having Two GR/IR account based on Vendor Number Ranges.

Dears,
Requirement of our client is to maintain Two GR/IR accounts based on Vendor number Ranges. I explained, as per standard functionality of SAP we can not have 2 GR/IR accounts based on vendor number ranges since system is checking the valuation class of Material but we can have 2 GR/IR accounts based on the Materials.
Please suggest me if there is any possiblity of having the above scenario so that I can add more points.
Thanks,
Omprakash

Hi Shahin,
You can do this using,
Material master QM view : Set the control for inspection lot creation as each material document,batch, storage location.
Inspection plan: Use the dynamic modification at characteristics level.
DMR: Create a DMR(lets say every 5 deliveries, assuming PO delivered in 5 delieveries) and assign it to each and every characteristics which you want to skip.
Please let me know whether it helps.

Gaps in vendor number range

Hi SAP Gurus,
I need your help in understanding the gaps in vendor number range,
I have created an internal number range for a vendor account group and created many vendor for the same.
However when I see the sequence of the vendors for that account group, I found gaps, can you please advise me why this gaps are generated by the system and where I can see the corresponding gap numbers in SAP.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply,
Can you please advise me in which SAP table I can find all gaps whcih occured due to deletion.
Thanks,

Communication between ECC and CRM

Hello,
I am in phase of showing communication between SAP CRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0.
I am struggling with finding some simple transactions which are common in both, with which I can show correct connectivity between ECC and CRM.
I need to save some data from CRM and access the same via transaction within ECC, save some data via ECC and access it via CRM. I already established RFC link between ECC and CRM.
Probably communication between SD module of ECC with CRM.
Can you please help me out with this, a clue/correct direction will be of very helpful. Basically I want to know, what transaction I can use for same.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
-Vishal

Hi Glenn,
I followed all steps in document mentioned above. In the end during execution of transaction I selected appropriate source and destination, when I click start transfer objects, it gets stuck in waiting phase.
Among those steps I was not able to perform step#10. Creating Subscriptions for OLTP. My ERP is not displaying this option under subscription wizard. Should it be reason for not starting transfer ? I also do not see ERP logon screen when I select transfer.
My another question is when transfer will complete, where I'll be able to see transferred objects within ERP database ?
Thanks

Number ranges - APO or ECC system - Which one is master system?

Hi
In SRM always SRM system is a master system for issuing number range. to create a folow on documents like purchase request and Purchase order . SRM system always determines the number range for purchase orders , Purchase request .
for example in Classic scenario :-
SRM we create a Shopping cart and Purchase order in ECC system.but SRM determines the number range which number Purchase order needs to be created.
What about in APO number ranges for Purchase request and Purchase order ? .iS That SAME ? .
In APO , do you have technical scenarios like Classic and Extended classic?
classic :- shoping cart crated in SRM and Purchase order will be created in ECC system.
Ext Classic :- Shopping card created in SRM and Purchase order will be created in SRM itself and replicated to ECC system.
But both above scenarios, SRM system is a master system to issue number ranges.
i learnt that APO system dont supply any number ranges to create a PR or PO in ECC system (trigger from APO) only ECC system determines? is it true?
BR
Muhtu

Hi,
For Purchase requisition there is temporary number range in APO system but once requisition gets transfered to ECC through CIF it determines number range from ECC and returns back same number to APO.
For Purchase order number range exists in ECC only and not in APO. Even if you trigger conversion of PR to PO from APO number range will be taken from ECC only.
So ECC remains master system .

Missing Vendor Number Range

Dear Expert,
By mistake while uploading FI Vendor master to system we had given the Vendor Number in the template.
The vendor number range is maintained as internal.
All the vendor was updated and it is showing also.
But when in system we try to create new vendor it is showing account already exists.
We checked the number range the current Number is still zero.
Is there any program or any method that we can bring this current status sync with existing vendor master we had uploaded into the system.

Hi,
check T-code XKN1, tick "status", update the current number to the needed one.
Best regards, Christian

Xkn1 creation of vendor number range doubt

hi
In xkn1 vendor number range,
I want to insert the interval, as 02 10000 to 30000
when I try to save or insert , it is not saving,
A popup as "enter intervals without overlap "
if i try to change it to 2 or 20: its not accepting it, a message popups as existing number,
how to come ovr this problem,
before inserting number range, should we enter company code , please help me.
warm regards.

The reason you are getting that error message is that, that number interval is already used by another number range. Check the existing number ranges and choose an interval that is not used yet. Or you can assign an existing number range to the vendor group that you have created if that range satisfies your requirements.

Number range for order booking in CRM

cAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHERE WE HAVE MAITIAN NUMBER RANGE FOR ORDER BOOKING IN CRM
tHANKS IN ADVANCE
BJ

Hi Bagavath,
The number intervals can be defined for activities, opportunities, sales and service transactions UNDER THE SAME PATH.
IMG-CRM-Transactions-Basic settings-DEFINE NUMBER RANGES
Note:
Within the Internet scenario, you should set internal number assignment for business transactions in the CRM system. For internal number assignment, the document number is automatically proposed by the system within a specific interval. Since the sales orders are transferred from the CRM system to the R/3 system, you should set external number assignment in the R/3 system -this means number assignment which is not proposed automatically by the system.
The interval for internal assignment in CRM should be the same as for external number assignment in R/3. In this way, you can make sure that the sales orders have the same number in the CRM system and the R/3 system.
