Automatic Contract Account Creation During BP Creation

Use

You can use this function in Media Sales and Distribution to have the system create a contract account automatically when you create a new business partner (BP) or a new role for an existing business partner. For example, this is useful when processing orders in Media Product Sales and Distribution that require an existing contract account for processing.

If a contract account already exists for the business partner, the system does not create an additional one.

Prerequisites

You have activated the business function Media, Subscription Management 2 (MED_MSD_1). If you use SAP Media Sales and Advertising North America Extension, please see also the release notes for this business function.

You should have assigned a contract account template to the role in question in the Customizing settings for the SAP Business Partner for Media Companies under Contract Account Assignment ® Define Contract Account Templates. If you create a business partner in several roles and different templates are assigned for these roles, you can specify a priority to determine which contract account the system is to use as the template.

Please note that you need a template business partner in order to create a contract account template. The contract account template must not have an incoming or outgoing payment method, since these fields are business partner-specific and would be overwritten by the function for automatic contract account creation.

Features

The following functions can be used to create a new contract account automatically during business partner creation:

● Maintain Business Partner (transaction BP)

● Data transfer function for the SAP Business Partner (transaction KCLJ)

● Creation in background processing (used in the Customer Interaction Center, in the Internet Application Components, and in fast entry)

Please note that you cannot create a contract account automatically if you create business partners using the BAPI BAPIBUSISM007_CREATEFROMDATA.

Thanks Saju,

But is it possible to create a contract in VA41 while creating a BP. My requirement is to create a contract for retailer BP not for the Subscription BP.
