How to customizig Multiple customers Assignment to one Business Partner

[cora_juste]

Hi experts,

in SAP S/4 1809 it is possible to assign multiple customers (or vendors) to one BP which we would really help us to manage adresses and dublicates. https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2706243/E

I saw the CVI customizing path and I understand that I have to use the specific app "Manage Customer Master Data".

What customizing is needed to use this feature? Do I need extra roles and role types. How are numbers assigned and what settings the CVI is needing?

Is there a how to guide anywhere?

Thank you so much in advance

Hey Sven, unfortunately I didnt get it running. And in my opinion SAP didnt promote this solution anymore. Obviously this hasent proven in reality. In my projects it was more important to keep numbers equal which is not possible assigning multiple vendors to one business partner.

SAP promised to revise the whole business partner adress handling by the end of 2021. I cant wait to experience a solution to manage different locations of one legal entity withing one business partner. Obviously we have to be patient. 🙂

Hi Cora,

I know it's been some time since this but I had it working on my system.

You can add Customer to the BP in Fiori (F0850A) , not GUI (no tx BP). No BP roles needed.

In Fiori you add a new customer (13) and this will create the BP (role 000000, FS0000) and Customer (KNA1, KNB1 table).

It will also add a record in MDG_MLT_ASSGMNT table with field STANDARD = "" and point to the Master Customer. The customers created in BP with role FCLU00 have STANDARD = X.

No relationship between both BP is shown in GUI or between customer but in Fiori (F850A) you could see there is a relationship. No balance consolidation in FBL5N. In tx FD03 I don't see the added Customer (13) but it shows Master Customer (1).

This scenario of Multiple Assignment does not work with Initial Load , so I could not use it.

I needed to consolidate multiple customers/vendors in one account, so it's of no use for me.

Kind Regards
