SAP Note

914437 - Preassigning BP role during download from account group

Component: CRM-MD-BP-IF (Data Exchange CRM Online <-> R/3), Version: 8, Released On: 09.07.2013

Symptom
As of CRM Release 5.0, a new role concept for business partners is available, which is
described in more detail in Note 873634. One change in this release is that the sold-to
party is no longer exclusively assigned the role of customer (and as a consequence all
subordinate roles such as ship-to party, payer and bill-to party). In CRM Release 5.0, you
can now assign each of these roles separately.
This note shows you how to implement a user exit that you can then use to determine and
assign a role that is different from the CRM000 sold-to party role, when you perform an
initial load or when you create or change the role assignment of a customer master from the
account group in ERP.

Other Terms
BP_EXCHANGE_R3_TO, CRM, PIDE, business partner roles

Reason and Prerequisites

Solution
Create a function module in the ERP system as an implementation for the DE_EIOUT user exit.
To do this, proceed as follows:
Copy the SAMPLE_FCTMODULE_DE_EIOUT function module to the new Z_PI_BP_ROLE_MAP_DE_EIOUT
function module in a customer-specific function group.
The top include of this function group must contain the following statement
TYPE-POOLS BUSEI.
Implement the correction instructions. If necessary, change the implementation or add
more account groups to the implementation.
Activate the user exit in Customizing.
To do this, make a new entry in the TBE24 table using transaction SM30, for example:
Product = "ROLES", Text = "Account group/Role Mapping", Active indicator = selected.
In addition, enter the user exit in the TBE34 table: Event = "DE_EIOUT", Product =
"ROLES", Function Module = "Z_PI_BP_ROLE_MAP_DE_EIOUT".
