Process documentationCommunication with the Business Partner System

 

This process enables application components to communicate with each other by means of a business partner proxy to find information about business partners (for example, account holders).

Example Example

You are using two account-managing systems in addition to Master Contract Management (MCM) for performance reasons. One of the account-managing systems is for checking accounts only, and one is for deposit accounts. To avoid having to always duplicate the business partner data from one system to the two other systems, you can connect one of the business partner systems outside of the system, and ensure parallel access for the MCM system and the two AM systems.

End of the example.

  • For more information about the proxies, see the documentation for the BAdIs in the Implementation Guide of the respective component.

  • For more information about the individual fields, see the documentation for the data elements.

Prerequisites

You can connect an external business partner-managing system to Account Management by means of the business partner proxy that consists, for example, of a series of Business Add-Ins (BAdIs). The default implementations of the BAdIs delivered by SAP currently allow you to use the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services (BP-FS) in the usual way as in the standard system.

In Customizing for Master Contract Management you are provided with the following Customizing activities under Start of the navigation path Communication with Logical Systems Next navigation step Business Partner Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)General BAdIs Next navigation step Business Partner Proxy End of the navigation path:

The default implementations of these BAdIs delivered by SAP currently allow you to use the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services (BP-FS) in the usual way, as in the standard system.
