Replication BP CRM to R3 direction

[Former Member]

Hi Patricia,

I am replicating BP and relationships from CRM 5.0 to ECC 6.0; I have done the following: external bp in crm and internal bp in ecc and also configured PIDE. Placed check marks on the function modules for inbound BUPA_MAIN and BUPA_REL in transaction COM_BUPA_CALL_FUN in ECC. However, its still not replicating. Am I missing anything; I have done this before and thats what I have done in past projects. Thanks, Ariel

Hi,

As a common practice, if the BP is getting created in CRM and then getting replicating to R/3, then you have to maintain internal number range in CRM and external number range in CRM.

Since some of the fields on R/3 customer master are mandatory, your CRM customer might not get replicated to R/3, if that field doesn't filled in CRM. In that case make the R/3 field as optional and then try the upload

Hi Paul,

yes, thats what we have internal in CRM and external in R3. Yes, we have done that making all required fields in R3 as optional and are planning to populate those

fields with a custom function module in COM_BUPA_CALL_FU

after the bp and sold to have been created.

My question is that I also want to create a BUT000 entry in R3 for the CRM business partner..same thing with all the tables. In a previous release, I have done the same configuration and it has worked (by creating entries in COM_BUPA_CALL_FU for the mapping function modules)

Hi Ariel,

Generally we maintain the COM_BUPA_CALL_FU in ISU scenario to have the BP's in R/3 system but it is not advisable to activate the BP as well as customers in R/3.

Normally we have only PI_BP_PROXY_BAPI_CUSTOMER active in COM_BUPA_CALL_FU. But if you maintain others entries it should also work. I am not sure what is missing, so could you explain what all customization you have done in R/3 side.

Hi Vikash,

I think I have to run a debugging function module in COM_BUPA_CALL_FU just to be sure if its going thru the series of function modules. Yes, I have PI_BP_PROXY_BAPI_CUSTOMER and also the function module

checked. Its creating the XD01 Sold to customer correctly(with the PIDE entry). Usually, in COM_BUPA_CALL_FU you can also put custom function module to create those views or fields that R3 requires but don't have an equivalent value in R3.

We have a reason in this project to have some of the BUT* tables in R3.
