  • Activate the business function Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and Business Partner ILM (BUPA_ILM_BF), Customer/Vendor ILM (ERP_CVP_ILM_1).

  • Make the necessary Customizing settings related to SAP ILM in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Start of the navigation path Application Server Next navigation step Basis Services Next navigation step Information Lifecycle Management. End of the navigation path

  • Run transaction IRMPOL and maintain the required retention policies for the ILM objects of the application.

Blocking of Business Partner Master Data
Blocking of Business Partner Master Data by the SAP Business Partner

You block business partner master data using the blocking program of the SAP business partner (transaction BUPA_PRE_EOP). A function module CACS_ILM_EOP_BP is used in application CACS to check if the business purpose is fulfilled. The blocking program considers all application components that use a business partner. If the application components using business partners do not report an open business transaction for a business partner, and the residence duration is exceeded, then the program blocks the master data of the business partner. You can unblock the data, if required.

Once the BP is blocked, the BP number is masked in commission case display and settlement inquiry.

Dealing with Blocked Business Partner Master Data

When a BP is blocked, access to the commission contract linked to the blocked BP is restricted. Neither authorized or unauthorized users can edit an existing contract linked to the blocked BP or create a new contract using this blocked BP. Unauthorized users cannot display the commission contract linked to the blocked BP.

Blocking of CUSTOMER/VENDOR Master Data
Blocking of Customer/Vendor Master Data by the ERP Customer/Vendor

You block customer/vendor master data using the blocking program of the ERP customer/vendor (transaction CVP_PRE_EOP). A class CL_CACS_EOP_CHECK_VEND/CL_CACS_EOP_CHECK_CUST is used in application CACS_CUSTVEND to check if the business purpose is fulfilled. The blocking program considers all application components that use a customer/vendor. If the application components using customer/vendors do not report an open business transaction for a customer/vendor, and the residence duration is exceeded, the program blocks the master data of the customer/vendor. You can unblock the data, if required.

Dealing with Blocked Customer/Vendor Master Data

When a customer/vendor is blocked, access to the commission contract linked to the blocked customer/vendor is restricted. Neither authorized or unauthorized user can extend an existing contract linked to the blocked customer/vendor or create a new contract using this blocked customer/vendor.
