BP Replication settings between CRM-ISU systems post the activation of CVI Integration

Post the availability of S4 systems there has been a change introduced in the respect of the integration of the business partners in the ECC system when replicating from the CRM system. The change has been primarily focused on the creation of R/3 customers/vendors in replication to and from the CRM system.

The BP replication process between the two systems(CRM>ISU)-

The BP replication post the CVI integration-

The system has transactions related to the reference customer creation (eg-XD01) and contract partner (Eg-FPP1) phased out.

The blog focuses on the additional things that will have to be configured in addition to the existing standard configurations for business partner replication.

Configuration Process

The Configuration process for the CVI integration is as below-

The basic middleware settings for the business partner replication settings are not changed. The configurations for the CVI integration are mentioned in the post.

Activation of BC sets

The below mentioned BC sets should be activated-

• ISU_CVI_800_S_BUPA_TBZ0
• ISU_CVI_800_S_VTBD002

Activation of applications in business partner

Proceed to the transaction BUS1 and activate CVIC,CVIS and FSBP

Activate Synchronization Objects

Go to the below mentioned configuration path-SPRO->IMG-> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Objects

The following settings have to be maintained for the business partners-

Activate PPO request

For the post processing framework to be in place this activation is required for the CVI integration

SPRO->IMG-> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Synchronization Control -> Activate PPO Requests for Platform Objects in the Dialog

Activate Synchronization Options

Path: SPRO->IMG-> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Synchronization Control Activate Synchronization Options

The active indicator needs to be set for the Customer to be created upon creation a business partner in th S4 systems.

Set BP Role Category for direction BP to Customer

The BP role category has to be set for the replication to be performed in the relevant category.

Path: SPRO->IMG-> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Customer/Vendor Integration -> Business Partner Settings -> Settings for Customer Integration  Set BP Role Category for Direction BP to Customer

Define Number Assignment for Direction BP to Customer

Path: SPRO->IMG-> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Customer/Vendor Integration -> Business Partner Settings -> Settings for Customer Integration -> Field Assignment for Customer Integration -> Assign Keys -> Define Number Assignment for Direction BP to Customer

The relevance of this step is for the same number range to be assigned to both the business partner and the customer.

Control Table Modifications

Previous to this change customer replication had to be performed with the SD settings. But the transactions like XD01 , VD01 and XD03 etc. are now obsolete. Post the Customer vendor integration the configurations have to be maintained at the master data synchronization settings.

The changes for the CVI integration with respect to the table settings (CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU and COM_BUPA_CALL_FU) are mentioned below for reference.

Note- PIDE settings are not relevant in the S4 systems post the CVI integration.

COM_BUPA_CALL_FU in ISU

CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU in ISU

CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU in CRM

Happy reading and configuring!!
