Change pointer for account holder in creditor master data not transferred correcly

[former_member256034]

Hi GTS experts,

I try to transfer the account holder to GTS via Change pointer with message type /sapsll/cremas_sll. I activated the fields in tranx bd52

KRED LFBK KOINH etc.

and bd53

CREMAS06 -> E1LFA1A -> E1LFBKM.

After the change in xk02, in table bdcp2 only the key field of table LFBK shows up. But when I delete the fields in xk02, suddenly all the others show up, too. Then with Change ID "E".

After I run the Transfer program I can see in bdcp2 that the fields is processed.

But no data from table LFBK is transferred to GTS, even not when I do the transfer with tranx /SAPSLL/CREMAS_DIRR3.

I also did a trance for the tranx with st05 and could see that the table LFBK was not used for tranx

/SAPSLL/CREMAS_DIRR3.

Does anybody transfer data from this table to GTS and knows what went wrong?

Thanks for your support, Carsten

Hi Carsten,

Thanks for the additional information.

I was actually mislead by your original question as I thought the issue was somewhere in the plug-in interface of the Vendors Master Data transfer.

I now understand better that the issue is related to SPL check (I guess, as you mentioned blocked documents), and especially with partner function FIACO which is derived from the account holder.

There is actually an OSS note that extensivley explains how to achieve this (customizing, activation of BADIs, etc..). Have you already had a look at this OSS note and implemented its requirements?

This is the OSS note I am mentioning:

831743 - FI-CA and GTS: Business partner handling

Hi Mouaz,

thanks for your answer, this matches also my analysis of the problem. Here´s the business case: we had a block on several FI documents caused by the partner function FIACO (account holder). SAP recommends to check this Partner, too. Unfortunately the buseinss Department has to release each one of these docuements as we have no partner data to the acocunt holder in GTS. If we could release the partner once, no further blocks would pop up. That´s why I want to tranfer the master data to GTS.

Anyway, I sent a OSS note to GTS, let´s see what they answer.

Best regards,

Hi Carsten,

Actually, what I meant when I asked you about the purpose of transferring the bank details of a vendor was more to understand if such data is relevant or useful for say Compliance checks or Customs Declaration, etc... I couldn't find myself any reason to send to GTS the bank details or account holder of a vendor, so I am trying to understand the purpose of this and then may be give you a "complete" answer, not limited to the "technical" answer I am giving here below 🙂

As said in my previous post, the data of table LFBK is not read/used during the transfer of the vendor to GTS. You could setup change pointers for this table but still no data from this table is used in the vendor plug-in interface.

If you would like to sent to GTS data from this table, you will then have to do this with a specific development.

That being said, I couldn't find any field in the vendor plug-in interface (/SAPSLL/API_1006_SYNCH_MASS) where to save the account holder. As data from LFBK is not read, I guess this is the reason why SAP did not foresee a field for this in the plug-in.

So, with a specific development, this is still possible, but you need to take into account that

- There is no field in /SAPSLL/API_1006_SYNCH_MASS to store the account holder (you can of course use another "free" or unused field and diverted for this purpose)

- Even if you manage to find a field for that, you will need additional developments in SAP GTS to copy the account holder from that diverted field so it is saved in the BP data in GTS

As I always say: everything is possible with specific developments. What is important is to assess the effort to achieve this and if it is worth it. Which leads me back to my initial question: why would you need the bank details or account holder of the vendor in GTS? 🙂

Hi Mouaz,

I need the account holder in GTS and I enter this data in the Vendor master data.

Hi Carsten,

Table LFBK holds the bank details of the Vendor.

What would be the purpose of transferring the bank details of a Vendor to SAP GTS?

I have checked the program /SAPSLL/CREMAS_DIRR3 and basically this program is reading vendor data from 3 tables: LFA1, LFB1 and LFAS.

LFAS holds the tax numbers (e.g. VAT ID). May be this is the table/data you are trying to replicate to SAP GTS?
