Creating business partners for existing vendor / customer MD

Hi,

we have in a productive ERP system existing vendor and customer data and need to activate RE-FX. Only a small part of the existing data should be activated as RE business partners.

Could someone please verify the best way for handling this and the needed links between RE and FI?

So far we have the necessary BP roles etc. but if I want to link a vendor to a BP in FLBPC1 - Create Business Partner from Vendor (or FLBPC2 / FLBPD1, FLBPD2), I get the error message "Vendor xxx cannot be assigned to a business partner

Message no. CVIV_UI011".

Seems that the account group (FI) needs to be assigned to the BP group (Define Number Assignment for Direction Vendor to BP). But if I assign this, the system starts to generate BPs for each new vendor.

Is this how it is supposed to work / is there any way to create only selected vendors as BP?

Or would I need a new FI account group for vendors which are relevant as RE business partners?

Thanks a lot,

Sonja

Hi,

if I uncheck the BP synchronization with vendors, is it still possible to activate an existing vendor as a RE business partner?

Hi

Firstly, You are not creating any new business partner. it is only the conversion of an existing Vendor/Customer as Business parner. You can create a new Business partner from T.code BP:

Coming to issue that you highlighted, check if BP is already created with same vendor number by going to T.code: BP. If yes, you can't create one more business partner, else, check all the mandatory fields in BP filled in Vendor Master.

Hi,

Goto master data synchronization node in cross-application components, there are setting to create vendor from BP or from BP to vendor, if u uncheck vendor to BP settings then your problem may resolve.
