1 Configuration Settings for Organization Model

Purpose

This configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration.

Organizational Model OverviewOrganizational Management in CRM offers you a flexible tool for handling your company’s task-related, functional organizational structure as a current organizational model.You can maintain the company structure including the positions and employees in an application and assign specific data (attributes) to the organizational units.The organization model will be especially used for organizational data determination within the CRM scenarios for marketing, sales and service.Compared to ERP the organizational model in CRM is more comprehensive, flexible and dynamic.A synchronization of the organizational structure for sales and service in ERP and CRM is possible via mapping of organizational units. This is a prerequisite for a master data and transactional data integration between ERP and CRM.In the following a sample organizational structure will be defined. It consists of separate organizational units for marketing, sales and service. Positions will be assigned to the different organizational units in order to implement the functional task distribution of individual items and their reporting structure in the organizational model. Employees are assigned to these positions as holders.

These sample organizational structure is essential for all SAP Best Practices scenarios because organizational data determination, partner determinations and evaluations are based on this structure.If you use ERP as a back-end system in CRM, you need the sales structure from the SAP ERP system in order to transfer or create master data (for example, business partner, products, and conditions) in CRM.The organizational model can be initially created automatically based on the sales organizational structure in ERP. But this functionality will not be used for the following reasons:

SAP Best Practices for CRM can also be used without an ERP system as a back end if only scenarios without ERP integration are implemented, such as Activity Management, Opportunity Management

Page 4 of 66

An automatic transfer of the ERP sales structure is only possible once. Errors may occur in organizational data determination if there are already organizational units in the system. Further changes in the organizational model have to be maintained manually in the CRM system anyway.

1.1 Organizational Model Synchronization ERP <-> CRMThe ERP system is closely linked to the CRM system. The two systems have to be synchronized in some configuration areas, such as the organizational model.Decide which sales areas you need to have in the CRM system, and check them in the ERP system.A sales area consists of:

a sales organization

distribution channels

divisions

The sales areas and related data are downloaded from ERP to CRM.

1.2 Maintaining Organizational Units

UseOrganizational units are functional units of a company. Depending on how task distribution is organized in a company, these can be, for example, departments, groups or project teams. Separate organizational units for marketing, sales and service will be defined.The organizational unit in sales and distribution structures the company according to SD requirements. Sales transactions are prepared and implemented in a sales organization. Several sales offices or sales groups or other freely definable organizational units can be assigned at lower level than the sales organization. It is not possible, however, for other sales organizations to be subordinate to a sales organization. You can assign attributes to a sales organization in organizational plan maintenance. The sales organization is then responsible for these attributes; for example, one or more divisions and distribution channels, a language, or a postal code.In addition there are organizational unit in the service area in which services are planned and

Page 18 of 66

they are not physically stored, but they are the result of the different combinations of sales organizations, sales offices, sales groups, channels and divisions maintained in the organizational model. Whenever a CRM transaction or a business partner needs the sales areas, they are calculated, and this is an expensive process. To speed up this process, the sales areas are buffered.Report HRBCI_ATTRIBUTES_BUFFER_UPDATE is used to buffer the attributes of organizational management objects. To enable buffering you have to maintain view T77OMATTR.

2 Configuration settings of Master Data Replication ERP -> CRM

2.1 Replicating Business Partners

2.1.1 Defining Sources for Business Partner Creation

UseA business partner can be created and maintained in different classifications and in different systems depending on the business scenario. The following table describes the business partner usage in the Best Practices scenarios. An entry in the column CRM or ERP indicates that this business partner classification is mandatory in this system for a complete walk-through of the scenario.

2.1.2 Business Partner Concept ERP <-> CRM

UseThe business partner concepts of the ERP system and the CRM system are different. Therefore you have to define a mapping when exchanging business partners from ERP to CRM and vice versa.

a) ERP System

Every business partner has to be assigned to an account group that determines the properties of business partners, especially:

Master data fields

Number range

Specific functionality for sales and distribution

There are more than 20 different account groups available in the standard delivery.

b) CRM System

Business partners in the CRM system are grouped by using classifications which determine:

Master data fields

Specific functionality

The number ranges are not directly assigned to the classification. The number range is determined by the so-called grouping. This grouping has to be assigned manually or automatically when creating a business partner.

There are only 5 different classifications

Consumer: Organization

Consumer: Person

Customer

Prospective customer

Competitor

The mapping of business partners has to be defined for both directions: from the ERP system to the CRM system and vice versa. Thereby you have to:

Map account groups to classifications and make sure that the required fields in both systems are identical

Map the number ranges

Page 20 of 66

2.1.3 Defining Number Assignment Strategy for Business Partners

Use

1. Choosing identical number ranges

Description

The business partner IDs of ERP and CRM business partners are identical.

There is always an internal assignment table that maps the ERP business partner ID to the corresponding CRM business partner to ensure a consistent data exchange.

Procedure

There are two ways to guarantee identical number ranges.

a) Leading system approachDefine a leading system for business partner maintenance, i.e. business partners belonging to the same account group or classification are only maintained in the OLTP ERP or in the CRM system exclusively. For example: Customers (account group 0001) are only maintained in the OLTP ERP, consumers (account group 0170) are only maintained in the CRM system.

The account group and the mapped classification must have the same number range. For the receiving system external number assignment is required.You have to make sure that business partner creation in the receiving system is prohibited.

Mapping Example

2.1.4 Mapping Business Partner Master Data from ERP to CRM

UseThis step is for the business partner exchange only from ERP to CRM. In the following section you perform all necessary steps to get the business partners from the ERP into the CRM system.

Page 21 of 66

In order to map the business partner master data from ERP to CRM you have to run the following activities:

1. Identifying relevant ERP account groups.

2. Defining number ranges for CRM business partners.

3. Defining CRM business partner groupings.

4. Mapping ERP account group to CRM classification

The following table describes all relevant elements that have to be maintained for the mapping of ERP account groups to CRM classifications. It is also mentioned at which activity the element is maintained. It is recommended to maintain this table to keep the overview when running the following activities.

The mapping runs as follows:

1. A business partner for account group 0001 (sold-to party) is created in the ERP system.

2. The account group has the number range assignment 01 and internal number assignment, i.e. a number is automatically created from the interval 0000100000-0000999999 for this business partner, e.g. 100001.

3. The business partner is replicated to the CRM system.

4. The account group is assigned to the classification Customer with grouping R001. Grouping R001 is assigned to number range R1 that is identical to the ERP number range 01. The ERP customer that is replicated to the CRM system automatically is created with classification Customer and gets the same number because external number assignment is chosen for the CRM number range.

2.1.5 Identifying Relevant ERP Account Groups (SAP ERP)

UseIn the ERP system, analyze the relevant account groups and their assigned number ranges. Identify the account groups that you are using when creating business partners in the ERP system. For these account groups a mapping has to be defined in the following activities.

2.3.2 Replicating Conditions (SAP CRM)

UseThe initial load of the condition customizing object is performed before the initial load of the condition master data objects and after the initial load of business partner master data and material master data has been performed.

Please see SAP note 484073 for information about cross-client and client-specific customizing tables.

1.1.1.5 Selecting Condition Customizing for Replication (SAP CRM)

UseAn important prerequisite to the successful initial download of condition customizing is that all the necessary filter settings are in place. Without using a filter all customizing objects, i.e. pricing procedures etc. are replicated. This activity was performed using download object DNL_CUST_CNDALL. For future maintenance create own download object as described in steps below, which is given as example.

In case you would like to run another condition customizing download in an additional CRM client it is recommended to use (copies of) the download objects DNL_CUST_PRC and DNL_CUST_CND_PR with filters instead of DNL_CUST_CNDALL because DNL_CUST_CND_ALL comprises client independent and client dependent customizing whereas the other two objects are restricted to client specific customizing.

menu Exchange à Object Management à Business Objects

2. Select a business object and choose Details.

3. Choose Filter Settings.

4. Enter the data for the following fields:

Field ProcedureSource site Use the input help to select the site you want to set the

filter criteria for. For example, for an initial data transfer from SAP ERP, this is the ERP System from which the data is to be transferred.Note: The selection is dependent on the allowed flow contexts (SMOFINICON).

Table Use the input help to select a table, for example, KNA1 for customer master.

Field Use the input help to select a field.OP (Operator) Select an operator.LOW Specify the lower limit for the filter condition. If the field you

selected is a date field, enter the date with the format YYYYMMDD. Leading zeros should be used as values for example, for customer and material numbers.

HIGH Specify the upper limit.Incl./Excl. Specify whether the stated value/interval range should be

included or not.Inclusive: the resulting set lies within the range. Exclusive: The resulting set lies outside the range.

Inactive Set your filter conditions to active.

5. Save (Ctrl + S) your entries.

The Generate Filter pushbutton located below the menu is only used for regenerating filter modules for selected objects, and should only be used in exceptional cases.

The fields for filtering are available predefined for the objects. You will find the values allowed for each object when you make your selection.

Some objects are delivered with predefined filters. SAP recommends that you do not change or delete. If necessary, you should define new filters. The purpose of filters is to reduce the size of the dataset transferred. You can find the predefined filters in the change functions of the Adapter Framework and in table SMOFFILTAB.

Filter conditions are only stored locally and are not contained in the transport of adapter objects. In this way filters are not transported from the development system to the production system. This is because filter conditions are site-specific and are defined differently in the development system to the production system. New filter settings have to be defined in each system.

1.1.1.12 Improving Performance during Replication

UseThe initial download of objects such as the material master data can lead to performance problems.

ProcedureIn order to improve performance, apply SAP Note 350176.

6.1.3 Defining Transaction Types

UseA transaction type controls the processing of a specific business transaction. It defines the properties and characteristics (for example, sales order, service request, sales call) and defines further on the control attributes (for example, text determination procedure, partner determination procedure, status profile, organizational data profile). A transaction type is assigned to one or several business transaction categories. This category determines the business context in which the transaction type can be used (for example, service, sales, activity). One business transaction category must be defined as the leading category. This one is not related hierarchically to other transaction categories, but represents a preference. A sales transaction with business activity data would, for example, be more likely to have sales as leading business transaction category than business activity. Depending on the leading business transaction category, only specific combinations are possible with further business transaction categories.The purpose of this activity is to reduce and adapt the required transaction types.
