CCR Processing 
Purpose
The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor database for the U.S. Federal Government. The CCR collects, validates, stores, and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions.
CCR validates the vendor information and electronically shares the secure and encrypted data with the federal agencies’ finance offices to facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT). Additionally, CCR shares the data with government procurement and electronic business systems.
Implementation Considerations
Both current and potential government vendors are required to register in CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the government. Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial transactions. Vendors must update or renew their registration annually to maintain an active status.
Integration
You need to have the Materials Management (MM) application active and configured so that you can use the function to create SAP vendor data from the vendor data provided by CCR.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
Refer to the online documentation accompanying each program for a more detailed description of the processes involved.
...
1. Go to the Public Sector Management section of the Easy Access Menu and choose Functions for US Federal Government ®Integration ® Central Contractor Registration ® Upload Initial CCR Data File.
2. In the resulting selection screen, enter the path where the master extract file you have downloaded from CCR is located.
When you execute the program, the data from this file is uploaded into the SAP environment.
3. Return to the CCR section of the menu and choose Create Vendor Master Data from CCR Data.
4. In the resulting selection screen, enter one or more of the following for the vendor(s) whose data you want to create in the SAP environment:
¡ DUNS Number
¡ DUNS+4 Number
¡ CAGE Code
¡ Taxpayer Identification Number
5. When you execute the program, the system outputs a list, showing the vendors processed and the status of each record.
Since the volume of data to be processed by this program is potentially very high, we recommend that you run it in background processing.
6. Return to the CCR section of the menu and choose Update CCR Data Using Data File
Prerequisites:
¡ The program RFFMCCRUPLOAD (steps 1 and 2 above) must have been executed using a complete master monthly refresh file provided by CCR.
¡ The CCR daily update file must be downloaded from CCR and then stored on an SAP server. The daily update files are too large to be stored on a client machine
Use this program to upload the daily update extract files provided by the government. When you do so, the program updates the CCR vendor records in the SAP database tables.
7. Return to the CCR section of the menu and choose Update Vendor Master Data from CCR Data
Prerequisites:
¡ Run the program RFFMCCRVENDORCREATE (steps 3 through 5 above) to create the SAP ERP vendors in the system
¡ Correctly implement the update method of the BADI FMFG_CCRVNDORMIGRATE must be implemented correctly
¡ Use this program to update SAP ERP vendor master records when updates occur in the CCR vendor records.
This program is used to update SAP ERP vendor master records when updates occur in the CCR vendor records.
8. The Federal Government information system includes a report showing a list of CCR records processed. To access it from the Federal Government section of the Easy Access menu, choose Information System ® Other ®Display CCR List.
