Business Partner Conversion (Phase
1) 
Use
This section describes the procedure for converting the business partner (phase I). A list of the report programs you need to execute in this phase is provided.
Prerequisites
You have upgraded to Release Banking 4.62/CFM 1.0 or higher, and there are Treasury Business Partners in your system for which you would like to generate corresponding SAP Business Partners.
Features
The business partner conversion phase I is divided into several large blocks, for which the following steps are necessary:
...
1. You have to build the Customizing for the SAP Business Partner and the conversion Customizing between the Treasury Business Partner and the SAP Business Partner.
SAP provides you with the following report programs:
a. Initialize Conversion Control Tables (RFTBUC00)
b. Initialize SAP BP Customizing (RFTBUC01)
c. Generate Further Customizing Tables (RFTBUC03)
d. Generate Customizing for the SAP Business Partner (RFTBUC02)
2. You have to create SAP Business Partners from the existing Treasury Business Partners. You perform this conversion using the following reports:
a. Convert the TR Business Partner to the SAP Business Partner (RFTBUP01)
b. Convert Treasury BP Relationships to SAP BP (RFTBUP02)
If you also need to run a reconciliation report, you should run this report (RFTBUP03_2) before running the Convert Notes report.
3. If SAP Business Partners already existed in your system before you converted the Treasury Business Partner, it may be necessary to perform a reconciliation to delete any duplicate entries. You perform this reconciliation using the following reports:
a. Reconciliation Report: Existing and Migrated Partners (RFTBUP03)
b. Reconciliation Report: Selected Partners (RFTBUP03_2)
c. Deletion Report for Reconciled (Duplicated) SAP BP (RFTBUD03)
4. After converting the Treasury Business Partner to the SAP Business Partner you must activate parallel maintenance for Release Banking 4.62/CFM1.0, or you can activate parallel maintenance for Release Banking 4.63/CFM2.0 (after you have carried out phase II). This ensures that when you create a Treasury Business Partner, an equivalent SAP Business Partner is automatically created, and vice versa.
You make these settings in Customizing under Corporate Finance Management -> Basic Functions -> SAP Business Partner for Financial Services -> Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Activate Parallel Maintenance.
You will find more information under Activating Parallel Maintenance.
If you are already using the SAP Business Partner, you can still run the conversion from the Treasury Business Partner to the SAP Business Partner. In this case, however, you must enter the conversion Customizing manually. It may also be necessary to set different numbers in phase I.
You will find more information under Prepare Business Partner Conversion.
You will find the conversion programs in Customizing under Corporate Finance Management -> Basic Functions ->SAP Business Partner for Financial Services -> Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP.
The grouping of IMG activities and the control tool make business partner conversion easier. You can access the control screen in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Execute Conversion -> Conversion Reports. All the conversion report programs are listed in this IMG activity. You should execute the respective reports from here.
If you have used the Treasury Business Partner from Release R/3 Enterprise Financial Services 1.10 and convert to the SAP Business Partner, you have to run two additional reports after you have carried out the conversion (phase I). These reports convert the industry sectors and the identification numbers for the SAP Business Partner from their previous tables to new tables. You will find further information under Convert Industry Sectors (BUPXPRA12) and Convert Identification Numbers (BUPXPRA13).
Activities
Execute the reports described above for phase I in the correct sequence, in order to run the Treasury Business Partner and the SAP Business Partner in parallel in the system.
