Preparation and Structure of Customizing 

Purpose

For some of the Customizing tables for the Treasury Business Partner, there are corresponding Customizing tables for the SAP Business Partner. In order to generate the SAP Business Partner Customizing, the Treasury Business Partner tables must be assigned to the corresponding SAP Business Partner tables in the conversion Customizing.

The following Customizing tables are assigned:

TR BP tables	Description	SAP BP tables	Description
TPZ 2	Grouping	TB001	Grouping
TP14	Address ID	TB009	Address types
TPZ7	Relationship category	TBZ9	Relationship category
TPZ3	Role category	TBZ0	Role category
TP01	Form of address	TSAD3	Form of address
T016	Industry sector	TB023	Industry sector
TP08	Legal form	TB019	Legal form
TP09	Legal entities	TB032	Legal entities
TP03	Marital status	TB027	Marital status
TPZ11	Relationship type	TB905	Relationship type
TP16	Department	TB910	Department
TP15	Function	TB912	Function

Some Customizing tables do not have to be converted specifically. This is the case for attributes, which are transferred to a new table that has been defined for the SAP Business Partner (BP001). This means that after conversion, you will access the same table in the SAP Business Partner as you access in the Treasury Business Partner.

You will find further information on assignment tables under Information on Several Converted Customizing Tables.

Prerequisites

You have prepared for and read all the documentation on the business partner conversion.

Process Flow

Customizing is generated differently, depending on the existing conditions:

Case 1: The SAP Business Partner is not (yet) in use / automatic assignment

If the SAP Business Partner is not already in use, or if you do not wish to make changes to the SAP Business Partner Customizing, you can initialize the Customizing tables for the SAP Business Partner and build on them directly from the Treasury Business Partner Customizing. You can use the following report programs:

·         Initialize conversion control tables (RFTBUC00)

·         Initialize SAP BP Customizing (RFTBUC01)

·         Generate Further Customizing Tables (RFTBUC03)

You do not define occupations, academic titles and forms of address in the Customizing for the Treasury Business Partner, but enter them in text fields instead. In the SAP Business Partner, however, you define this data in Customizing. You use this report to generate the Customizing settings in SAP Business Partner Customizing from the data for the Treasury Business Partners that are present in the system.

·         Generate Customizing for the SAP Business Partner (RFTBUC02)

Case 2: The SAP Business Partner is already in use, or you wish to make changes to the Customizing / no automatic assignment:

If the following conditions apply, the Customizing settings cannot be assignedautomatically:

1.       If both the Treasury Business Partner and the SAP Business Partner are already in use, then you cannot assign the corresponding Customizing settings automatically.

This is the case if you have only created one SAP Business Partner for testing purposes, for example.

           

·         For example, the form of address key for Mr. is 01 in the Customizing table for the Treasury Business Partner, whereas the corresponding key for the SAP Business Partner is 02. You must therefore make these assignments manually in the conversion Customizing.

·         You may already have assigned an address belonging to usage 0001 (private address) to an SAP Business Partner. However, the corresponding address ID of the Treasury Business Partner is PRIVATE (private address). You can only make this assignment manually.

       1.      You can also use the business partner conversion to make changes to the SAP Business Partner Customizing (for example, if you want to change the Customizing logic).

In the Treasury Business Partner, the form of address key 3 is Miss, and you would like to replace this with Mrs. in the SAP Business Partner. By making changes manually or carrying out SAP Business Partner Customizing, you can change the Customizing entries generated by the system or make the entries yourself.

If you have defined internal number assignment for the Treasury Business Partner and you want to manage the SAP Business Partner with identical numbers, you first have to manually adapt the number ranges for the SAP Business Partner to the number ranges for the Treasury Business Partner.

...

       1.      Execute transaction SNRO.

       2.      Enter the number range object BP_PARTNR (business partner) for the Treasury Business Partner and choose number ranges and then intervals.

       3.      Note the intervals and the current number.

       4.      Enter the number range object BU_PARTNER (central business partner) for the SAP Business Partner and choose number ranges and then change intervals.

       5.      The current number for the respective number range intervals must be the same for both objects. If necessary, adjust the current number for the SAP Business Partner to that of the Treasury Business Partner.
