Use

Contract information for the business partner is usually distributed across several systems within the company.

In order to display all the contracts and accounts for a business partner, or several linked business partners, in Total Commitment within the Business Partner, you have to link the applications in which the contract information exists with Total Commitment.

Prerequisites

Before you can register the application in Total Commitment, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

·        You have found the systems and applications in which the contract information for the business partner that you want to display is managed. The contract information for the business partner can be contained in SAP or non-SAP systems and applications.

·        You have checked which business partners are managed in several systems, and whether the corresponding business partners have different business partner numbers in these systems.

·        You have determined how the contract information should be transferred.

The are two options for supplying contract information to Total Commitment:

¡        The application is called synchronously. The contract information is available in real-time. Applications in a different system are called using the Remote Function Call (RFC).

¡        The application writes the contract data to buffer tables for Total Commitment. An asynchronous call is made. This enables you to determine that contract information is updated once per day in Total Commitment, for example.

Procedure

       1.      Register the application in Customizing for the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services under Settings for Financial Services -> Tools -> Total Commitment -> Make Settings for Total Commitment, and make the additional settings for this IMG activity.
