Check Customizing Structure 

Use

After you have carried out all the steps and executed all the reports to prepare and generate the Customizing for the SAP Business Partner, check that the Customizing structure is correct. This check helps you ensure that no errors occur in the business partner conversion that follows.

Prerequisites

You have successfully run the following report programs to prepare and generate Customizing:

...

       1.      Initialize Conversion Control Tables (RFTBUC00)

       2.      Initialize SAP BP Customizing (RFTBUC01)

       3.      Generate Further Customizing Tables (RFTBUC03)

       4.      Generate Customizing for the SAP Business Partner (RFTBUC02)

Procedure

...

       1.      Check that the business partner groupings match

You can access Groupings in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Control Data -> Groupings. Here, table TPZ2 is reconciled with table TB001 (grouping number range) and TB002 (grouping texts).

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

       2.      Check that the address ID matches the address type for the SAP Business Partner

You can access Address ID in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Address ID. Here, table TP14 is reconciled with table TB009.

In this IMG activity, you enter XXDEFAULT in the address field, and set the default indicator (the fields address type and short text remain empty).

An XXDEFAULT address type must also exist in table TB009 for the SAP Business Partner. This is required in order to make the standard address from the address overview time-dependent.

There is no connection between the XXDEFAULT address ID in the Treasury Partner and the address type XXDEFAULT in the SAP Business Partner.

You will find further information on the address ID under Information on Several Converted Customizing Tables.

       3.      If you have created your own roles in the customer namespace, check their assignments.

You can access Role Categories in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Control Data -> Role Categories. Here, table TPZ3 is reconciled with table TBZ0.

You will find further information on role categories under Information on Several Converted Customizing Tables and Differences Between the TR BP and the SAP BP.

       4.      If you have created your own relationship categories in the customer namespace, check their assignments. Set the corresponding indicators for all the relevant relationship categories.

You can access Relationship Categories in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Control Data -> Relationship Categories. Here, table TPZ7 is reconciled with table TBZ9.

In the following cases, set the relevant indicators:

·        If you convert relationship categories 0021 wife and 0022 husband to relationship category BUR004 marriage, you must set the sequence indicator either for relationship category 0021 or 0022. This will swap business partner 1 and business partner 2 round in this relationship category. In relationship category BUR004 marriage, only the husband or the wife can exist as business partner 1.

You will find further information under Points to Note when Converting Relationships.

·        The leading indicator is concerned with parallel data supply for the Treasury Business Partner from the SAP Business Partner. There are some Treasury Business Partner relationship categories for which only one SAP Business Partner relationship category exists. You use this indicator to determine which Treasury Business Partner relationship category should be changed during the parallel maintenance phase, when you create the respective relationship category for the SAP Business Partner.

The indicator is only relevant if you have assigned an SAP Business Partner relationship category to several Treasury Business Partner relationship categories. If you create a corresponding SAP Business Partner relationship category (in the customer namespace) for each Treasury Business Partner relationship category, you do not need to set this indicator.

·        The Treasury Business Partner contains the business partner categories natural person and organization. The SAP Business Partner also contains a third business partner category, namely group. If you set the ‘group’ indicator, a business partner with this relationship category is assigned the business partner category Group when you execute the report program Convert the TR Business Partner to the SAP Business Partner (RFTBUP01).

You will find further information on relationship categories under Information on Several Converted Customizing Tables, Differences Between the TR BP and the SAP BP, and Convert Business Partner Relationships (RFTBUP02).

       5.      Notes.

                            a.      In the IMG activity General Notes, check whether the entries generated by the conversion report RFTBUC02 are correct for the SAP Business Partner. The general text IDs for the Treasury Business Partner must correspond with the general text IDs for the SAP Business Partner.

                            b.      In the IMG activity Role-dependent Notes, check whether the entries generated by the conversion report RFTBUC02 are correct for the SAP Business Partner. The “role category text ID” assignments for the Treasury Business Partner must correspond with the “role category text ID” assignments for the SAP Business Partner. If the system allocates the same text IDs to different roles for the SAP Business Partner, you can retain the text ID number assignment for one of these roles. You must enter new (free) numbers for the text IDs belonging to the other roles (according to the principle of consecutive number assignment) and save your entries.

                            c.      If this occurs, you also need to save the new SAP Business Partner text IDs in the general text ID table TTXID (View V_TTXIDI) if they do not already exist there.

            You will find further information under Convert Notes (RFTBUP06).

       6.      Check that the forms of address match.

You can access Forms of Address in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Forms of Address. Here, table TP01 is reconciled with table TSAD3.

       7.      Check that the industry sectors match.

You can access Industry Sectors in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Industry Sectors. Here, table T016 is reconciled with table TB023.

       8.      Check that the legal forms match.

You can access Legal Forms in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Legal Forms. Here, table TP08 is reconciled with table TB019.

       9.      Check that the legal entities match.

You can access Legal Entity in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Legal Entity. Here, table TP09 is reconciled with table TB032.

   10.      Check that the marital statuses match.

You can access Marital Statuses in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Marital Statuses. Here, table TP03 is reconciled with table TB027.

   11.      Check that the relationship types match.

You can access Relationship Type in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Relationship Type. Here, table TPZ11 is reconciled with table TB905.

   12.      Check that the functions match.

You can access Functions in Customizing under Settings for Conversion and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase I -> Assign TR BP to SAP BP -> Assign Customizing Settings -> Functions. Here, table TP15 is reconciled with table TB912.

   13.      Check that the departments match.

1:1 assignment is necessary in each case, except for the Customizing activities Address ID, Relationship Categories and Role Categories.
