Platform: CRM 4.0sr1 SP8, backend R/3 4.6c
I have created an eCATT to upload Business Partners (Person), with Relationship Contact Person for pre-existing BPs (replicated from R/3 4.6 backend) and then chaineded another eCATT that assigns an Attribute Set to the newly created Contact Person.
However, I can only find the manual method to assign our newly created attribute sets/values via the CRM transaction <b>CRMD_PROF_BP</b>
I looked at the expert tools <b>CRMD_MKT_TOOLS</b>, but they all seem to work with assigning the information to the BPs after they're added to a Target Group.
So, how do I either upload the info directly <i>(I am unfamiliar with FM's/Programming and how to use them if anyone suggests one, so please be specific)</i> or create a target group that includes a this new set of Contact Person BP numbers?
Thanks for any help!
Hi Mike,
The bottom line you try to achive is populate target group based on attributes
of each BP right?
Here, I try to give you alternatives:
1. Without assign attributes to BP, and assume you have the attributes assigned
already in R/3 (or the information already saved in BP R/3 somewhere). Use
tcode CRMD_MKTDS from CRM, here you define external source of your
target attributes. Define RFC connection to R/3 and retreive infoset from R/3.
If you have BW connecto to CRM, this can be used as well.
2. Or, you have lists of BP in MS-Excel file, for example Region1.Xls contains all
BPs with region = 1 and Region2.xls contains all BPs with region = 2.
Now, in Profile Set segmentation, create Target group and retreive all BP from
excel file. Right click on that new target group and choose Target Group
properties, Open tab Load File and Create New target group. then follow the
rest steps until you get the target group with BP according to each file you
have.
3. Last alternative, which you may avoid as you are not familiar with programming.
Use Function module CRM_ISA_BP_CHAR_VALUES_SAVE to save BP
attributes.
Tell me if this is what you looking for.

Hi Gun,
Thanks for the ideas!
We're trying to maintain the attribute data in CRM, so #1 won't work in our particular case, but might for someone else.
<b>#2 worked great for us.</b> Right clicked the TG Properties and then the Load File and Create New Target Group tab, followed screen options in the Segment Manager...I had accidently run across it sometime last year, but didn't have a need for it at the time and forgot about it.
#3 might come in handy down the road once our programmers get done with their current project.
I have given you full reward for your answer. Thanks again!
Mike
