BBP_VENDOR_SYNC - wrongly creates BP for invoicing party?

96 Views

Dear forum members,

I have a message with SAP about this too, but wanted to know if anyone else has come across this problem.

We are using SRM 5.0 (SRM SERVER 5.5 SP 13) in ECS. We only want to replicate vendors (not invoicing parties) to SRM. We only have on backend purchasing organisation (and this is declared correctly in the SRM org structure).

The problem is that if a vendor is created for a company code and not extended into the purchasing organisation it creates the business partner in SRM (BUT000 table) but the BP is not setup as a vendor (no entry in VENMAP, BBPM_BUT_FRG0061 etc).

This means the BP is created buy the vendor cannot be used. Subsequently, if we extend the vendor into the purch org in ECC and execute BBP_VENDOR_SYNC it rejects the vendor as the BP exists in BUT000 but not VENMAP.

I believe this is a problem with the code at the point where the BP is created it should not and have asked SAP to resolve this.

Any experience / views on this?

Cheers,

Nick
