Function documentationData Exchange with SAP ERP for Delivery-Related Billing Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In the delivery-related billing process, data is exchanged between SAP CRM and the sales and distribution component of SAP ERP. Data is exchanged by means of CRM Middleware, using the following business document (BDoc) types:

  • BEABILLDLVCRMB for transfer from SAP CRM to SAP ERP

  • LEDELIVERY for transfer from SAP ERP to SAP CRM

Note Note

This documentation describes Customizing and error processing for data transfer in the delivery-related billing process. For more information about the data flow between SAP CRM and SAP ERP, see Delivery-Related Billing.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up CRM Middleware for SAP CRM and SAP ERP in Customizing.

    You can check the settings in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management, by choosing   CRM Middleware and Related Components   Generate Industry Specific Objects and Services / Communication Setup  .

  • You have made the necessary CRM Middleware settings as described in SAP Note 504730.

Features

For an overview of data transfer between SAP CRM and SAP ERP, see Delivery-Related Billing. As a result of data transfer, the following is updated in SAP ERP in the sales and distribution component:

  • Billing status of the delivery

  • Document flow (the SAP CRM billing document is included in this)

Activities

Monitoring Data Transfer

You can monitor data processing in CRM Middleware to check for data transfer errors. For more information, see the SAP Library, under  SAP Customer Relationship Management   Data Exchange and Mobile Technologies   CRM Integration Services   System Monitoring   Monitoring the Message Flow   Displaying Unprocessed BDoc Message Summary  .

Example Example

You can use monitoring in CRM Middleware to display messages with BDoc type BEABILLDLVCRMB that have not been completely processed. Note that if you transfer data to SAP Global Trade Services and use delivery-related billing, it is sufficient to restrict data display to the SAP ERP site.

You can see the detailed errors of a BDoc message in the error segments of the appropriate receiver site (SAP ERP). If the cause of the error is in SAP ERP (for example, due to a block or Customizing settings) you can restart the BDoc message for the receiver site once the error has been corrected.

End of the example.
