Transfer PO from EBP to SUS (one client)

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have EBP and SUS in the same client (SRM 5.00 – SRM server 5.5).

We are trying to transfer PO from EBP to SUS.

I am searching an answer to the subsequent questions:

1. How should be started the PO transfer from EBP to SUS? We know that this transfer is made with XI and “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” – “PurchaseOrderRequest_In” interfaces but what event should start “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” interface? We know that “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” interface is also started by EBP output process instead of printing, should we use this functionality to start this transfer?

2. We have tried to set the process using the output message (instead of printing) but the “PurchaseOrderRequest_In” interface gives us this error:

An error occured within an XI interface: Exception occurredA:BBP_BUPA:263 -Ordering party has to be a company

Programm: CX_BBP_BD_ERROR===============CP; Include: CX_BBP_BD_ERROR===============CM002; Line: 57

We cannot use transaction BBP_SUS_BP_ADM because EBP and SUS are in the same client (we receive this error: “If SUS and EBP are in same client, create the company in EBP”) and in EBP the ordering party business partner is already a company (if we make a search for “Purchasing Company” in transaction “Manage business partners” we can find the ordering party business partner). We have also run BBP_SP_COMP_INI transaction for this purchasing company business partner.

Any suggestion?

Thank you for your help.

Marco.

Hi Marco

1) You are right. For all the vendors that will use SUS, maintain the output medium as 'XML' in Maintain Business Partners.

2) Have not tried SUS and EBP in the same system and do not recommend it either for my cutsomers (note 573383).

-- Check note 954410

-- Check whether you maintained the vendor as 'Portal vendor'

-- Check whether you maintained in SUS IMG 'Business Partner settings'

Hope this helps

Best regards
