I'm setting up a new SAP system based on CRM7.0 and ECC60 Ehp4 with IS-M activated for M/SD. You would expect that in the latest release BP integration is seamingless however this is not the case.
Ideally I would create a person in CRM as (CRM) BP in the role of consumer (CRM006 and with bp classification = consumer) so we can just maintain the general data and use a reference customer to provide the sales area specific data and thereby provide the ability to create sales orders in CRM as well as in M/SD.
However in ECC the SAP BP does not seem to provide the functionality to work with a reference BP just like in CRM or as within standard SD (Account 0170) functionality. As a result of the standard CVI settings the SAP BP (only for ISM*** roles) is even not available in SD (tables KNA1, KNVV) and sales orders cannot be created in ECC. or replicated to ECC when the sales order is created in CRM. Should we add via a BADI or middleware the role ISM000 during the replicating the BP?
Another possbile solution,is to create a person in the role ISM000 directly however, due to the differentiation type of this role (3 = sales area), the role is not even available in standard CRM WebuiI. When doing so in the SAP GUI we also cannot create a BP in the role ISM000 directly as on the sales area data tab it tells you BP GUID is not existing.
Is there someone that can share some best practise experience on how to set-up the integration CRM BP <-> SAP BP <-> SAP M/SD when dealing with consumers:
