Add a new role employee to a BP vendor. BUP003 not Shown on the dropdown list

[agmogena]

Dear experts, I would like to add an employee role to a BP which it is already created and has the vendor role.

When I display the dropdown list, BUP003 is not shown. 

I have made sure the flag on the BP role configuration is uncheck.

 

I have seen the function /SHCM/RH_SYNC_BUPA_EMPL_SINGLE but it creates a new BP ID.

Any idea how to proceed to achieve to have only one BP id with the two roles?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

In S/4HANA, it is not possible to add role BUP003 manually via transaction BP. Instead, you can use the synchronization reports such as /SHCM/RH_SYNC_BUPA_EMPL_SINGLE.

If you already have a BP with a vendor role, the synchronization reports should reuse it, instead of creating a new one. The logic is different based on the HR-BP model used (whether business function /SHCM/EE_BP_1 is active). If the business function is inactive, the old model is being used. Here the report tries to find if there is a vendor assigned to the selected personnel number. It specifically checks field LFB1- PERNR = personnel number. In transaction BP, you can see this field in role vendor --> Company code --> Select company code segment --> scroll down to see field Personnel number.  If LFB1-PENR is empty, the report will not reuse the BP.

If the business function is active, new model is being used. Similar logic is followed. In the new model, two BPs must be created for the first personnel number so the report will reuse the existing vendor BP as the employment BP and create a new one as employee BP.

In both models, it is recommended to maintain customizing in view PTRV_VENDOR_SYNC.

I recommend to review the integration guide which can be downloaded from note 2340095.
