Customer/Vendor Integration (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) Customer/Vendor Integration for the business partner is part of Master Data Synchronization. Master Data Synchronization can synchronize master data objects within an SAP System that are similar from a business perspective yet technically different. It ensures the seamless integration of various SAP applications into business processes.

FI Customer/Vendor Integration for the business partner is now called Customer/Vendor Integration. The terms FI customer/customer and FI vendor/vendor can be used interchangeably within Master Data Synchronization.

Customer/Vendor Integration has been enhanced with the following functions:

  • Bidirectional synchronization (new)
Synchronization takes place in both directions between customer, vendor, and business partner. When the business partner is updated the corresponding customer/vendor can be updated at the same time. Likewise, when the customer/vendor is updated the corresponding business partner can also be updated at the same time.
  • Posting (changed)
  • A new method is available for posting data in the customer/vendor master records. The posting logic is not dependent on the interface.

  • The method for posting both customer master records and vendor master records in Customer/Vendor Integration is the same.

  • The batch input for the vendor that was used to date has been completely removed.

For further technical information about the change in posting logic, see SAP Note 851444.
  • Data assignment (enhanced)
The following enhancements and changes have been made to data assignment:
  • You can process tax numbers centrally for the business partner, customer, and vendor on the Identification tab page. Data entered in the Tax Numbers section is assigned to the tax number fields for the customer and vendor.

  • You can assign the vendor field to business partners in customer-based BP roles or the customer field to business partners in vendor-based BP roles in online processing mode.

  • The following attributes for the contact person can be synchronized between the business partner and customer master data:

- Department Numbers
- Functions
- Authority
- VIP Indicator
To do this you have to activate the assignment of contact persons and make the required assignments in Customizing for Master Data Synchronization. For more information, see the documentation for the corresponding IMG activities.
  • The standard industry of the standard industry system for the business partner is also transferred to the vendor master record.

  • There are new assignment tables for links between business partners, customers, and vendors. All links created are stored in the following tables:

- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Customer and Business Partner
- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Vendor and Business Partner
- CVI_CUST_CT_LINK Link Between Relationship and Contact Person for Customer
In addition the assignment tables BD001 Business Partner: Assignment Customer - Partner and BC001 Business Partner: Assignment Vendor - Partner are still available for entries that already exist. It is not necessary to convert these tables in this release, as the new access logic includes both of these tables. You have the option of converting these tables using the reports CVI_MIGRATE_CUST_LINKS (Convert Assignment Table for Link Between BP and Customer) and CVI_MIGRATE_VEND_LINKS (Convert Assignment Table for Link Between BP and Vendor).
For further technical information about data assignment, see SAP Note 851444.

For information about the enhanced user interface for the business partner and the effects on customer integration, see Changes to the Interface of the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services.

Customer-defined modifications

Due to the changes made in the architecture of the Customer/Vendor Integration you have to check any customer-defined modifications and make any changes that are necessary.

The following enhancement spots with Business Add-Ins are available for enhancing Customer/Vendor Integration:

Customer-defined programs and search helps that refer directly to the assignment tables that are already available have to be enhanced so that they include the new assignment tables. You also have to convert any link postings that you have developed.

For detailed information about the necessary steps and enhancements that need to be adjusted, see SAP Note 852991.

Effects on Customizing

Implementation guide (IMG)

The synchronization is dependent on the Customizing settings for Master Data Synchronization that you have to make.

You can find all of the required IMG activities in Customizing for Cross-Application Components by choosing Master Data Synchronization->

  • Synchronization Control
  • Customer/Vendor Integration

In the Customizing for the area Synchronization Control you can activate or deactivate both the synchronization of an individual object pair and the synchronization in a certain direction. The following synchronization scenarios are supplied in the standard system:

  • Synchronization of business partner to customer
  • Synchronization of business partner to vendor
  • Synchronization of customer to business partner
  • Synchronization of vendor to business partner

In the Customizing for the area Customer/Vendor Integration you can execute all specific IMG activities and Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for the object pairs business partner/customer and business partner/vendor.

For detailed information about the steps to be carried out, see the documentation for the IMG activities and Business Add-Ins (BAdIs).

For more information about the new, changed, and deleted IMG activities and Business Add-Ins for Customer/Vendor Integration, see Changes to the IMG for the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services.

In addition to manually synchronizing Customizing settings for the business partner and the customer/vendor you can automatically synchronize certain Customizing settings in certain circumstances. The following reports are available for this purpose. These can be executed from within the Synchronization Cockpit:

Business Data Toolset (BDT)

The interface elements for the business partner in the Business Data Toolset (such as data sets, screens, screen sequences, views, field groups, applications, and sections) have been restructured.

Note that customer-modified applications have to be adjusted to the changes in the Business Data Tool.

For more information about the changes in the Business Data Toolset and the steps to be carried out, see SAP Note 852870.
