Converting to the SAP Business Partner in SEM Banking

Use

Banking Release 4.62/CFM Release 1.0 sees the start of the conversion of the Treasury business partner (TR-BP) to the SAP business partner (SAP-BP). The conversion takes place over two phases:

1. In the first phase, TR-BP and SAP-BP are provided in parallel. This phase begins with the upgrade to Banking 4.62/CFM 1.0. After the upgrade, you need to use a conversion report to generate SAP-BPs from the existing TR-BPs.
2. In the second phase, all table references to the TR-BPs are recoded to SAP-BPs and TR-BPs are deactivated. This phase will begin in a later Release.

SEM Banking and BCA The issue of parallel provision of TR-BPs and SAP-BPs has existed since Banking 4.01 wherever the BCA and SEM Banking Systems have been used together (see Note 117233). For this scenario, it has been essential to ensure that both partner numbers are identical. In this way it is possible to avoid recoding during the evaluation of BCA accounts in SEM Banking and in the second phase of business partner conversion (the dataset referencing the TR-BPs can be very large due to profitability analysis documents).

For the same reasons, identical numbering of TR-BPs and SAP-BPs is absolutely essential during the first phase (parallel provision phase) if SEM Banking is being used. Customers of SEM Banking need to generate SAP-BPs from TR-BPs using the delivered conversion report after an upgrade to Banking 4.62 (Exception: TR-BP and SAP business partner are already provided in parallel because BCA and SEM Banking are both being used). In doing so you need to select the option of taking the SAP-BP number from the TR-BP number for the control of number assignment. You then need to activate parallel provision with the identical numbering option in the Conversion Customizing.

You have the following options during the phase of parallel provision of TR-BP and SAP-BP:

1. The previous external data transfer of TR-BP using transfer category 13 can still be used. This transfer category is not linked to parallel provision. Therefore only the tables for the TR-BP are updated. No parallel updating to the SAP-BP tables takes place. As various transactions require the SAP-BP, each time you carry out a transfer using transfer category 13 you need to call up the conversion report. This carries over all relevant changes from TR-BP to SAP-BP. You need to take measures to prevent the creation of any SAP-BPs online or by data transfer. This is because business partner numbers would be used that are intended for assignment during a later data transfer using transfer category 13. The second alternative explained below can be used at any time in place of the first alternative. We recommend you use transfer category 15 instead of transfer category 13 because transfer category 13 wil only be maintained in the medium term.
2. The previous external data transfer of TR-BP using transfer category 13 is no longer used. Instead only transfer category 15 is used. This means data is updated in both TR-BP as well as SAP-BP.
