      Thank you for the explanations. Really helpful. Now, I am wondering how do ECC ship-to addresses get imported into Hybris?  As these are all customers in ECC would each of these addresses get mapped to a new B2BCustomer in hybris or is there a way to put all these address on the B2BUnit so that a customer who is part of that unit can select from any of these ship-to address?   Do you have any technical documentation that goes into how this process works?

      Hello Sreenu,

       

      I have followed the same steps. I am on S/4 HANA system. I send one customer to Hybris and check the Idoc, I couldnt find the relevant Name  and address details in the idoc. Do i need to run the separately for CP replication?

      Can you let us know how to import shipto partner functions as addresses in to Hybris. Only when the shipto Id and Soldto Id are same, the addresses are getting replicated in to Hybris. When we have some different shipto Id, we get the error at datahub saying missing reference in the publicatioin statuses.
