Hi Sanjay

In SAP SNC, A company is represented as Business Partner of type Organisation

So for example, a customer, supplier and your plant/company

Business partner of type Person corresponds to a real person within a company. It represents a specific user who works with the SAP SNC Web application.

A business partner of type Person is connected to a business partner of type Organization

So if you are dealing with your suppliers, lets say Plant XYZ procures its raw materials from Supplier SUP123

Then we represent them in SAP SNC as

BP (of type Organization) -XYZ

BP (of type Organization)-SUP123

in this case, The naming convention are same in both ECC and SNC

Now we create BP of type person and assign to the BP(of type org) in relationship tab-Transaction BP

Lets say BPPER1 belongs to XYZ & SUP123 belongs to SUP123

Hi Vinod,

I have some more doubts

If one R/3 location is CIFed to SNC what it will become in SNC??

What is the BP no. and what is the role of that location that CIFed Location??

Is it not having BP no.?? Is the Storage location not taken into picture in SNC???

Thanks

Hi Sanjay,

When you CIF location like Vendor from R\3 in SNC it will create location with location type 1011 it also creates BP as a ogranization.

For example if Vendor is 123456 and it is CIF to SNC it will create 123456 location with location type 1011 and also BP organization 0000123456 which is automatically assigned to location(provided you have maintained Title=Company in Vendor master of R\3 Tcode:XK02 in Address tab)

When you CIF the Plant from R\3 to SNC it creates location as production plant with location type 1001 and BP organization you need to create manually (Tcode:BP) and assign it to plant (tcode:/n/SAPAPO/LOC3 general tab field name=BP number)

Storage location is not consider in to SNC.

See the below link for more details:(You may be aware of this)

Hi Sanjay

>If one R/3 location is CIFed to SNC what it will become in SNC??

Each Supply Chain units in R/3 like Plant,Vendor,Customer,Supplier etc are handled as locations in SAP SNC or SAP SCM

Lets say a Plant XYZ is refered as location XYZ of type 1001 in SAP SNC

Go to transaction in SAP SNC /SAPAPO/LOC3 - Location

You will see field Location Type :

1001 Production Plant

1002 Distribution Center

1007 Storage Location MRP Area

1010 Customer

1011 Vendor

Basically in SAP SNC/SCM all these are locations, where planning happens, to map them back to R/3, they differentiate these locations based on location type.

>What is the BP no. and what is the role of that location that CIFed Location??

BP no corresponds to the organizational unit.

This comes into picture, in order to share the internal application (SAP SNC owned by OEM-Original Equipment Manufacuturer) to thier supply chain members like customer,supplier and sub contractor

They brought this BP concept, where an external supply chain unit is defined as BP of type Organisation and the necessary users(internet users/persons) are created under it

Now the mapping happens in location master /SAPAPO/LOC3 in the field Business Partner Number

>Is it not having BP no.?? Is the Storage location not taken into picture in SNC???

Yes it can have the B.P no provided before cifing, you enable the option both

in cfm1 field Create Loc./BP

This is only available for vendors,customers

For plants you will have to create manually in SAP SNC and assign it in location master

Storage locations are not handled in SAP SNC, I think Nikhil already mentioned it

Hi Sanjay

Each of these supply chain units be it plant,customer,supplier are represented as BP of type organisations

So that they can have their own SNC webui

Now plant is owned by OEM, so he will be given access to SNC Web UI Customer View

Without this BP, you will not able to use customer view!!!!

If that is fine with you, you can go ahead

May i know the requirement behind this question???

Hi Vinod

So you mean to say every unit it may R/3 Plant, vendor, customer which comes in to SNC has to be created as BP first under Organization to unable Web Gui access, which is very important part. There is no special requirement as I said in earlier post.

Thanks

Hi Sanjay,

In SNC you can have any number of business partner organization depending upon rquirement.

Example:

ABC is a company we can create one BP organization and assigned this BP organization to all location in SNC.

Company>BP oganization->Location->BP Person->Internet user

But if you want regoinwise mapping then you can create as many BP organization as per your requirement.

Say ABC company has 4 regoin North ,East,West and South then we can create 4 BP ogranization (BPNORTH,BPEAST,BPWEST and BPSOUTH) for each regoin and assign BPNORTH business partner organization to all north location in SNC similarly we can assign BP org BPEAST for all east location and so on for BPWEST and BPSOUTH.

Company>BP oganization BP North->North Location->BP Person(Employee of North location)->Internet user

Company>BP oganization BP East->East Location->BP Person(Employee of East location)->Internet user

Company>BP oganization BP West->West Location->BP Person(Employee of West location)->Internet user

Company>BP oganization BP South->South Location->BP Person(Employee of South location)->Internet user

You can create BP org structure as per you requirement in SNC.

Note that:

1) Relation of BP type Ogranization to location is many to one ( 1 location can be assigned only one BP organization at a time

but different location can have same BP organization)

2) Relation of BP type of person to internet user is 1 to 1.

3) Internet user assigned to one BP organization can not see the data of other BP orgnaiztion.

eg:Internet user of BPNORTH can not see the data of any other BP organization BPEAST,BPWEST,BPSOUTH

Hi Nikhil,

Can we create a business partner through an IDoc? What is the correct message type to use for SNC, is it BUPAFS_FS_CREATE_FRM_DATA or BUPA_INBOUND_MAIN_SAVE_M?

Thanks.
