Default Collection Profile for New BP

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Process:- we are creating or changes customer that time it created BP in background.

Requirement:- Business wants as and when BP created that time default Collection profile should assigned to that BP. In future user want to change then manually he should change as per situation.

I found it can be possible through T.Code:-  UDM_BP_PROFILE  but for this we have to schedule program. But issue is business wants as and when BP created that time it should create automatically.

Hi Arun,

You can directly create a daily batch job of the program UDM_COLL_BUPA. Give the default Profile in the variant. This will fulfill your requirement.

It cannot be done real time as standard without any modification (or running the program every 1 mins!)

The BP will be created -however it will need to be assigned to the Collection Profile - and then added to the Segment, Group Specialist if applicable.

You could look at modifying the customer create program to call an event to create the profile, segment and group - however I personally think this is over-kill as you can schedule the standard programs to run daily or more frequently.

How many new customers do you create every day (10, 100 or 1000?)

Hi Mark Chalfen,

I found BAdI: Determination of Profile for Business Partner in ( FSCM > Collection management > Basic Setting > BP > Determine of Profile for BP). what is the use and is it possible this badi will solve my issue.

assuming you can set the profile, you could also add in default segments and groups, if you had rules that could be followed.

I would advise you work with your ABAP team to ensure this will work. It sounds like the main issue is the timing, and not the action.

Hi Mark Chalfen,

Ultimately I have to work with ABAP Team but before that we have to give logic and tell him concept.

which I required from you and from this forum.

Hi Arun,

Even the BADI: Determination of Profile for Business Partner in, will not help you solve this problem. This BADI is only called when you run transaction UDM_BP_PROF.

And since you only require a default value every time a BP is created I will suggest to run the above transaction as a Batch job with default Collection Profile. You can run it once a day, as soon as customer is created its open items will not come for collection (does not make sense business wise). But if that is the requirement you can increase the frequency of batch job.

As per me this is the best solution with minimum effort and meets the requirement. Moreover, you need not work with ABAP team
