Activating Parallel Maintenance 
New customers
If you are a new customer and are implementing Banking 4.63 / CFM 2.0 for the first time, you do not need to carry out either phase I or phase II of the conversion.
However, because the SAP Business Partner cannot
automatically recognize whether or not the Treasury Business Partner was
maintained previously, you must follow the Customizing menu path
SAP Business Partner for Financial Services -> Settings for Conversion
and Parallel Maintenance of TR BP and SAP BP -> Conversion: Phase 1 ->
Activate Parallel Maintenance
and set the following indicators:
|
Indicator |
Setting |
Comments |
|
Identical numbers When the indicator is set, both Treasury and SAP Business Partners are allocated the same number when updated in parallel. The numbers for both partners are drawn only from the number ranges for the SAP Business Partner. |
Not relevant. |
You can either retain the default value that is displayed or not set the indicator, if you do not intend to use parallel maintenance |
|
Grouping (SAP BP) |

Processing (phase 1) |
No indicator |
If the indicator is set, it means that no settings have been made for the interaction between the SAP BP and the TR BP. The partner management functions are deliberately terminated |
|
Phase II |
Indicator set |
If the indicator is set, the system assumes that it is running live in phase II, and that the conversion has taken place. Then the SAP BP is used and referenced automatically. |
|
Processing (phase II) |
Indicator set |
If the indicator is not set, this means that the DDIC references have not been changed, and the field values have not been converted to the SAP BP. If this indicator is not set, all partner function modules will be terminated until the settings are maintained correctly. |
