  • 1.  Business Partner in Evolve Forms (migrations)

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi Precisely Team,

    We're during transition from ECC to S4Hana and we need to update scripts related to Customers and Vendors inisde Evolve Forms. 

    I try to find out what potential options we have

    1. Transactions - mainly BP transaction. Migratting Team suggests not to rely on BDC method to create/update the objects in S4HANA. So I suppose Transaction is not recommended.  Could you explain us what is potential disadvantages of this method from perspective Evolve Automate? BP transaction is so hard to manage? 

    2. DIRECT (BAPI, RFM Scripts). I gathered some BAPI related from your answers. 

    A BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA - create BP Number (General Data) 

    B BAPI_BUPA_TAX_ADD - adding Tax Number to newly created BP Number

    C BAPI_BUPA_ROLE_ADD2 - adding Role, for example Customer Role

    D RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN - I've found it's obsolete. Is it any different BAPI/RFM to do it? Or still the best way to add Company Code/Sales Org/Pur Org data? If yes, should I use this BAPI/RFM after creation BP Partner and adding Role? What sequence should be used?

    A, B, C steps work properly, can you confirm step, script D? Is it doable?  

    3. SAP4Hana API and Business Partner API - to use this method we need additional licence. Is that right? What is potential advantages of this method? 

    4. Fiori - if we have Fiori modules, is it easier to automate? Or script creation is similar like for transaction potentially?  

    I would be much appreciated for any tips and answer. 

    Best regards Marcin

    Hi Marcin

    BP is a beast to automate. There are so many roles and grids, etc. 

    The good news is there are examples on the SAP Module Templates community - BP tcode and Fiori. And yes, you can automate it via Fiori if you have a Developer Pro license to create it. Please be sure you are on at least version 25.1+ to automate it.

    You can also use the BAPIs you found, including the function module that is part of the migration cockpit RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN - it's never been marked as supported, but it does work. Too bad SAP didn't include more BAPIs as there were tons of them available for BP in CRM. If you search in the community, I posted some examples of that, too.

    Hope that helps you get started,

    Sigrid

    Hi Sigrid,

    I found some examples prepared by you (RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN)  It works (BP Creation + adding Roles FLCU00 and FLC001 + Company Code Data + Sales Data as one commit) That's great. Good progress. 

    I encountered on issue in following Scenario.

    1. I created BP Partner manually and I wanted to add FLCU00 Role together with Company Code Data. Does this RFC allow to Extension Role(+Company Code Data) if the BP Partner already exists? If yes, what value should have a field "External Interface: Change Indicator Object"? (U?)  

    Thanks in advance

    HI Marcin

    Yes, this rFM allows you to extend companies and sales areas/purchase orgs, depending on your BP type.

    You can map the flag fields and do a Lookup to see the possible values. 

    At the BP level (IDK what "current state" means nor the difference between U & M ) - I've used I for insert and U for update.

    At the customer level, use "I" (insert)  for extending to a new company or sales area for customers - although "M" looks interesting - almost like an upsert (insert if new, update if exists) - but I haven't tried it yet. I've also used U for update.

    Hope that helps!

    Sigrid

    Hi Marcin 

    Thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can use Automate FIORI /Direct( if using BAPIs)/ Transaction to create the BP Script.

    RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN - it's not supported. For creating the BP script, you can also check the article below as a reference.

    Hi Archana,

    Thanks for answer. It was useful. 

    Someday, there was place with oficial templates created by Precisely. Where can I find it now?

    Is there any example recording which I can watch? (BP transaction) I know that Precisely made some wuginars so maybe there is someting related to BP also? 

    Best regards Marcin

    Hi Marcin

    Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately, there is no template available for BP; only available ones are mentioned below.

    If you need assistance creating the script, you can reach out to our Professional Services team, which can understand your requirements and assist you in creating the script.

    FYI - there are example templates in the SAP Module Templates Community for BP general data & customer company/sales area (recorded like an upsert)  - transaction, but there are also Fiori examples (at the bottom).

    FYI
