Mapping of SRM business partner number with ECC vendor code

[Former Member]

Dear All

We have Business partner number created in SRM. At the same time the vendor code in ECC is already available. How to map the SRM business partner number with ECC vendor code manually ?

Please throw some light on the same

Hello.

Is it possible to use BBP_UPDATE_MAPPING if we have SLC?

For some reasons we can't want to use standart SLC distribution, and we need to map suppliers manually(we have2 ERPs connected to SRM and need to map 1 SRM BP to 1 in each ERP manually)

Hi,

For vendor replication between SRM and ERP, it won't be disturbed by SLC.
In standard, we use bbp_vendor_sync or bbpgetvd/bbpuppdvd to do replication from ERP to SRM.
Multiple ERP systems are also supported.
This replication will generate entry in table VENMAP, and some other tables will also generate entry such as but000, bbpm_but_frg0011/0061/0060/0010, etc.

Actually, i have suppliers, who was already replicated form ERP using SLC programs like /SRMSMC/GET_ERP_SUPPLIER to get supplier form ERP and /SRMSMC/SEND_SUPPLIERS_TO_ROS to send it to sell-side(ROS). IT has mappings in SLC tables, like /SRMSMC/D_SUPMAP, /SRMSMC/D_CPMAP, and in VENMAP too. Now i need to have mapping with 2nd ERP, to replicate contract there. Supplier have same numbers in 1 and 2 ERP. I can add mapping to 2 ERP in web as administrator, but i'm not sure it would be correct and some other mappings would suit (for example mapping for PO replication form ERPs to SUS deployed on sell-side).

Hi,

Usually, we recognize one supplier not only based on its BP number. We also identify them with logical system(ERP system) and guid. Even if they have same BP number, they will never share same BP GUID. It will be unique.
So don't worry about this.

Table VENMAP,

local GUID from table BUT000 is mapped to vendor number in ECC

Dear All

Thanks for the reply

we create the Business Partner number in SRM through vendor registration process where in vendor logs in and fills necessary details. Once he is approved in SRM, Business partner id will be created (for example BP10000001). The next step is to create vendor in ECC. When contract is awarded to the vendor, buyer will click on the button 'Transfer' and the details will flow from SRM to ECC and vendor code in ECC gets created (for ex ECC720001).

In this case SRM Business partner number will be automatically mapped to ECC Vendor code.

Our requirement is that, we want to create SRM business partners through vendor registration process. But ECC vendor codes will be created manually and not through 'Transfer' button. Since ECC vendor code is created manually, we need to manually map BP10000001 = ECC720001.

How to do the same?

Dear Nagabhushan,

and this would be VENMAP table.

Please check, Partner GUID is taken from Table BUT000 for Partner BP10000001 in SRM and mapped with logical System of ECC via Table VENMAP to ECC720001.

Hello,

You can update the vendor information in VENMAP using transaction BBP_UPDATE_MAPPING.

Check note 357201 about it and also the following link, which contains additional information:

Master data -> Mapping Backend Vendors to Business Partners

It is related to SRM 4.0, but it exists in all versions.

Dear Ricardo,

simply stated; a business partner is created in SRM. There is already an existing vendor code in ECC. Will BBP_UPDATE_MAPPING enable an user to map the business partner with the existing vendor code ?

Hi Konstantin，

You may also go into the BP editing webdynpro in SRM and assign the backend vendor number manually on the supplier data tab（link to backend system）.

Hello Nagabhushan,

I think there is no need to create Business partner numbers manually. If you replicate the vendors in SRM, it will automatically create the Business partner numbers in SRM which will a unique number.

You can replicate the vendor in SRM by using transaction: BBPGETVD

Table: BBPV_BUPA_VENMAP you can view the respective vendor and Business partner number.
