Migration - BP - Partner Fuctions - multiple contacts

[Tiago_Pereira]

Hello, i'm trying to migrate Partner fuctions via migration cockpit and i have a field called Contact ID ( PARNR) wich i'm using to differentiate the different contacts by department for a supplier, so that the client knows wich one is it but when i try to associate a partner fuction the system asks for the Partner Number for Vendors (KTONR) and this number is internal and sequencial and it's not the best suit for this case.

Basically the client has 40 different contacts for each supplier, and he wants to contact the right department every time, what's the best way to organize the migration for this case?

Best Regards

Hi, we will remove the tag "SAP HANA Cloud" as this tag should only be used when there is no relevant sub-tag available. This will ensure more accurate categorization of your post.

Hi @Tiago_Pereira,

Contact persons are created as separate business partners using internal numbering. Since this new numbering is only created during the migration process, you can't use the contact person number as contact ID for partner functions in a single step.

To assign a contact person as partner, first create the supplier with the contact person but without the purchasing data. Then, use the Supplier - extend existing record by new org levels migration object as a second step to assign the purchasing data together with the contact person in partner capacity.

I would recommend reviewing the migration object documentation: Supplier

Hope this helps.
