One-time Vendor not Transferred to SRM

[Former Member]

Dear All;

we are using SRM 7 classic scenario.

We created One-time vendor in ERP ECC6 but when I tried to transfer the vendor to SRM, I got the below message:

All backend descriptions are already assigned in the system

Message no. BBP_BUPA030

What does it mean? How to resolve it?

Thanks

Hello,

Can I ask you please to check the following customising since this

error BBP_BUPA030 can be due to all of the following items.

(1) Cross-Application Components SAP Business Partner > Business Partner

> Basic Settings > Number Ranges and Groupings > Define Number Ranges

Here you should define an external number range which corresponds to

the R/3 numbers. You may want to have more than one external range

in order to replicate all vendors.

(2) Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Partn

> Basic Settings > Number Ranges and Groupings > Define Groupings and

Assign Number Ranges

For each replication run, you can download the vendors which correspond

to the external number range / grouping which is marked as 'standard

external'.

(3) Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Part

> Organizations > Maintain Industry Key Systems and Industry Keys

It's been found that the replication has problems if you don't have

this maintained.

Enter any name/description for the industry sector key system. If

you have only one, the radio button to mark the default won't appear.

If you want to maintain the industry sectors themselves, position

the cursor at the line in question and double-click on 'System >

Industries' on the left-side tree.

I hope this information helps.

Kind Regards,

Edel.

Dear Edel;

I have already done all the steps you mentioned before and the vendor got replicate.

Now I have another problem that PO is not getting created from sourcing and got the below error message:

*"Please first maintain vendor's address". I have already maintaned it but still the same error.*

I tried to create PO directly in ERP and found the same problem, therefore, i had to maintain the address in the PO itself because one time vendor has no fixed address.

I think SRM is not supporting One-time vendor, is it right?

If you have any suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks

Hello,

One time vendor functionality is not available in SRM . This is a limitation.

Also i do not see why you would need this vendor in SRM.

As you know when a one time vendor is used to create a PO , one would require to enter the vendor address.

In your case in Classic, how will you maintain the address during PO creation?

Let us know details of the requirement.

Thanks

Can you cross check in SRM system

InTransaction BP give the vendor number and see if the vendor is already available.

The related error message comes only if the vendor is already transferred. Or it is possible that a vendor with same number exists in SRM system.

If so, Try to replicate by selecting the option, Internal number assignment if SAP ERP number not possible.
