Configuration Guide
1 P u r p o s e
This building block (Configuration Guide) describes the necessary activities to replicatemaster data and transaction data from the ECC system to the CRM system and vice versa.This building block is the prerequisite for the installation of all CRM scenarios delivered bySAP Best Practices. This building block is not required if you run the CRM in a stand-alonemode, that is
without an OLTP back-end system.The replication of the following data from the ECC system to the CRM system is described inthis guide:
Master data
Business partners
Contact persons
Materials
Conditions
Transaction data
Sales documents

A business partner can be created and maintained in different classifications and in differentsystems depending on the business scenario. The following table describes the businesspartner usage in the Best Practices scenarios. An entry in the column CRM or ECC indicatesthat this business partner classification is mandatory in this system for a complete walk-through of the scenario.

.3.1.1.1.2Business Partner Concept ECC <-> CRMUse

The business partner concepts of the ECC system and the CRM system are different.Therefore you have to define a mapping when exchanging business partners from ECC toCRM and vice versa. a) ECC System
Every business partner has to be assigned to an account group that determinesthe properties of business partners, especially:
Master data fields
Number range
Specific functionality for sales and distribution
There are more than 20 different account groups available in the standarddelivery. b) CRM System S A P A G P a g e 8 o f 5 2 SAP Best Practices CRM Master and Transaction Data Replication (C03): Configuration Guide
Business partners in the CRM system are grouped by using classifications whichdetermine:
Master data fields
Specific functionality
The number ranges are not directly assigned to the classification. The number range is determined by the so-called grouping. This grouping has to be assignedmanually or automatically when creating a business partner.
There are only 5 different classifications
Consumer: Organization
Consumer: Person
Customer
Prospective customer
Competitor The mapping of business partners has to be defined for both directions: from the ECC systemto the CRM system and vice versa. Thereby you have to:
Map account groups to classifications and make sure that the required fields in bothsystems are identical
Map the number ranges
.3.1.1.1.3Defining Number Assignment Strategy for BusinessPartnersUse

There are two alternatives for mapping the business partner numbers from the OLTP ECC tothe CRM system and vice versa.1 . C h o o s i n g d i f f e r e n t n u m b e r r a n g e s
Description
The business partner IDs of ECC and CRM business partners are notidentical.
There is always an internal assignment table that maps the ECC businesspartner ID to the corresponding CRM business partner to ensure a consistentdata exchange.
Advantage/Disadvantages
(+) The mapping procedure is easy
(+) No problems with duplicate business partner IDs
(-) Identification of the same business partner in OLTP ECC and CRM systemis difficult. The OLTP ECC ID is only available for searching and is not displayedin the master data record.
Procedure
When mapping ECC account groups to CRM business partner groupings andvice versa you choose always internal number assignment in the receivingsystem, i.e. a business partner that is created in ECC gets automatically a new IDduring the replication to the CRM system and vice versa. You can choose thesame or different number ranges for the mapping of account group toclassification. To avoid misunderstandings, i.e. customers with the same ID are S A P A G P a g e 9
o f 5 2 SAP Best Practices CRM Master and Transaction Data Replication (C03): Configuration Guide not identical, it is recommended to use different number ranges.Example for mapping: C R M S y s t e m O L T P E C C C l a s s i f i c a t i o n F r o m n u m b e r t o number ReplicationdirectionAccountgroupFrom number tonumber C u s t o m e r 1 0 0 0 - 1999Internalnumber range 0 0 0 1 1999Internalnumber range 1 999Internalnumber rangeCustomer 1000-
0 0 0 1 1 999Internalnumber rangeThe first customer created in OLTP ECC gets ID 1 in the OLTP ECC and ID1000 in the CRM system.If the next customer is created in the CRM system he will get the ID 1001 in theCRM system and ID 2 in the OLTP ECC.2 . C h o o s i n g i d e n t i c a l n u m b e r r a n g e s
Description
The business partner IDs of ECC and CRM business partners are identical.
There is always an internal assignment table that maps the ECC businesspartner ID to the corresponding CRM business partner to ensure a consistentdata exchange.
Advantage/Disadvantages
(-) The mapping procedure is complicated.
(-) Duplicate business partner IDs may occur if the mapping is not definedcorrectly.
(+) Identification of the same business partner in OLTP ECC and CRMsystem is easy possible because of using the same ID.
Procedure
There are two ways to guarantee identical number ranges.a ) L e a d i n g s y s t e m a p p r o a c h Define a leading system for business partner maintenance, i.e. businesspartners belonging to the same account group or classification are onlymaintained in the OLTP ECC or in the CRM system exclusively.For example: Customers (account group 0001) are only maintained in theOLTP ECC, consumers (account group 0170) are only maintained in theCRM system.The account group and the mapped classification must have the samenumber range.For the receiving system external number assignment is required.You have to make sure that business partner creation in the receiving systemis prohibited.Example for mapping: C R M S y s t e m O L T P E C C C l a s s i f i c a t i o n F r o m n u m b e r t o number ReplicationdirectionAccountgroupFrom number tonumber C u s t o m e r 1 - 9 9 9 E x t e r n a l number range 0 0 0 range(leading) 1 1 -999Internalnumber

Define one account group (e.g. 0001) for customersthat are created in the ECC system and have to be replicated in the CRMsystem. Define an additional account group (e.g. Z001) for customers thatare created in the CRM system and have to be replicated to the ECC system.Use different number ranges for these account groups and define externalnumber assignment in the receiving system.This approach is not applicable for consumers because there can only beone unique account group for consumers in the ECC system. Therefore youhave to choose the leading system approach to ensure identical numbers for consumers in both systems.

.3.1.1.2Mapping Business Partner Master Data from ECC toCRMUse

This step is for the business partner exchange only from ECC to CRM . In the followingsection you perform all necessary steps to get the business partners from the ECC into theCRM system.In order to map the business partner master data from ECC to CRM you have to run thefollowing activities:1 . I d e n t i f y i n g r e l e v a n t E C C a c c o u n t g r o u p s . 2.Defining number ranges for CRM business partners. 3 . D e f i n i n g C R M b u s i n e s s p a r t n e r groupings.

4.Mapping ECC account group to CRM classification The following table describes all relevant elements that have to be maintained for themapping of ECC account groups to CRM classifications. It is also mentioned at which activitythe element is maintained. It is recommended to maintain this table to keep the overviewwhen running the following activities. E C C C R M S t e p 4 S t e p 4 S t e p 3 S t e p 2 S t e p 2 S t e p 2 Account groupNumber rangeI n t e r v a l N u m b e r assignmentC l a s s i f i c a t i o n G r o u p i n gNumber rangeI n t e r v a l N u m b e r assignment 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0000999999Internalor ExternalC u s t o m e r R 0 0 1 R 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0000999999External For the above example, the mapping runs as follows:1 . A b u s i n e s s p a r t n e r f o r a c c o u n t g r o u p 0001 (sold-to party) is created in the ECC system.2.The account group has the number range assignment 01 and internal number assignment, i.e. a number is automatically created from the interval 0000100000-0000999999 for this business partner, e.g. 100001 .3.The business partner is replicated to the CRM system.4.The account group is assigned to the classification Customer with grouping R001 .Grouping R001 is assigned to number range R1 that is identical to the ECC number range 01 . The ECC customer that is replicated to the CRM system automatically iscreated with classification Customer and gets the same number because external number assignment is chosen for the CRM number range.
.3.1.1.2.1Identifying Relevant ECC Account Groups (SAP ECC)

.3.1.1.3Mapping Business Partner Master Data from CRM toECC

Use
This step is for the business partner exchange only from CRM to ECC . In the followingsection you perform all necessary steps to get the business partners from the CRM into theECC system.In order to map the business partner master data from CRM to ECC you have to run thefollowing activities:1.Defining number ranges for CRM business partners.2 . D e f i n i n g C R M b u s i n e s s p a r t n e r g r o u p i n g s . 3.Creating ECC business partner number ranges.4 . C r e a t i n g E C C a c c o u n t g r o u p s . 5.Mapping CRM classifications to ECC account groups. The following table describes all relevant
elements that have to be maintained for themapping of CRM classifications to ECC account groups. It is also mentioned at which activitythe element is maintained. It is recommended to maintain this table to keep the overviewwhen running the following activities.

A b u s i n e s s p a r t n e r w i t h classification Customer and grouping C001 is created in the CRMsystem.2.The grouping C001 has the number range assignment C1 and internal number assignment, i.e. a number is automatically created from the interval 0000100000-0000999999 for this business partner, e.g. 100002 . S A P A G P a g e 1 7 o f 5 2 SAP Best Practices CRM Master and Transaction Data Replication (C03): Configuration Guide 3.The business partner is replicated to the ECC system.4.The classification is assigned to the account group Z001 (sold-to party). The number range C1 with the same interval as ECC number range C1 is assigned to account group Z001. The CRM business partner that is replicated from the CRM system to the ECCsystem gets the CRM number because external number assignment is chosen for theECC number range.
.3.1.1.3.1Defining Number Ranges for CRM Business Partners(II) (SAP CRM)

.3.1.1.3.4Creating ECC Account Groups (SAP ECC)

Use
In order to map the CRM business partner classifications to ECC account groups for thereplication of business partners from the CRM system to the OLTP ECC you have to define aseparate account group for each classification (exception: Consumer: Person )You cant use the same account groups that you have chosen for the replication from theOLTP ECC into the CRM system, because this would cause inconsistencies. For example:Account group 0001 is mapped to classification Customer for both replication directions ECC CRM and CRM
ECC. When two different customers are created at the same time inECC and CRM it is possible that they get the same number. In this case the replication wouldnot work because the customer number that has to be created in the receiving system isalready blocked.These account groups should not be used for creating business partners in the ECC system,because business partners belonging to these account groups are not replicated to the CRMsystem.

.3.2.1.1Number Ranges for Sales Documents

Use
S A P A G P a g e 3 8 o f 5 2 SAP Best Practices CRM Master and Transaction Data Replication (C03): Configuration Guide In order to keep the sales document number identical when replicating sales documents fromthe CRM system to the ECC system and vice versa the number ranges of the CRM systemand the ECC system have to be synchronized.A prerequisite for having identical numbers is the usage of external number assignment in thereceiving system. To avoid duplicate sales document numbers when
creating salesdocuments in parallel in both systems you have to maintain separate number ranges in theECC system and the CRM system.The following table describes a valid mapping of the number ranges. These number rangesare available initially in both systems, so if you use exactly these number ranges for your sales documents no further mapping is required. Otherwise you have to define a mapping asdescribed in the following sections.

.3.2.1.2Defining Settings for Sales Documents

Use
In order to replicate transaction data correctly from the CRM system into the ECC system andvice versa, the settings for document processing must match the business control in bothsystems.This means that for sales documents a sales document type of the same name must exist inthe ECC system for the transaction type in the CRM system. The same applies for itemcategories, item category groups and item category determination.SAP delivers standard settings for this.If you have defined additional transaction types or item categories then it is necessary tomaintain these settings in the CRM system accordingly otherwise you can skip this activity.This chapter describes how to synchronize the ECC and CRM settings for the replication of documents from the ECC system to the CRM system. For the replication of documents fromthe CRM system to the ECC system the procedure is analogous.

The fields for filtering are available predefined for the objects. You will find thevalues allowed for each object when you make your selection.
Some objects are delivered with predefined filters. SAP recommends that you donot change or delete. If necessary, you should define new filters. The purpose of filters is to reduce the size of the dataset transferred. You can find the predefinedfilters in the change functions of the Adapter Framework and in table SMOFFILTAB.
Filters from CRM to CDB are currently not supported; only filters from ECC OLTPto CRM are supported.
Filter conditions are only stored locally and are not contained in the transport of adapter objects. In this way filters are not transported from the development systemto the production system. This is because filter conditions are site-specific and aredefined differently in the development system to the production system. New filter settings have to be defined in each system.

a g e 4 9 o f 5 2 SAP Best Practices CRM Master and Transaction Data Replication (C03): Configuration Guide While there are no restrictions for repeating data transfers from ECC to CRM, data transfersfrom CRM to CDB are more serious, because in this case the data has to be distributed. Toavoid inconsistencies between the CDB and mobile application databases, a repeated initialdata transfer from CRM to CDB is prevented. If you are sure that no mobile clients have beensupplied with data or that no data can be extracted again, then a repeated initial data transfer from CRM to CDB can be carried out. To do this you have to change an entry in tableSMOFINICUS.The table contains the following fields:
ObjName: Name of object (corresponds to the object name from table SMOFOBJECT)
BDoc Name: Name of the BDoc
Data Dist.: determines whether data is distributed (selected) or only written to the CDB(empty)
User Name: Name of changer.Table SMOFINICUS is delivered empty. With initial data transfers from CRM to CDB datadistribution is automatically selected. If you are sure that mobile clients have still not beensupplied with data, then the selection for data distribution can be unselected for the requiredobject using the view maintenance for table SMOFINICUS (transaction code SM30). Then anew initial data transfer can be started for this object.Table SMOFINICUS replaces parameter CRM_USE_BULK_DURING_INIT of theconfiguration file SMOFPARSFA .
Procedure
In order to restart the replication you have to run the following steps:1 . C a n c e l i n g download of objects2 . D e l e t i n g o u t b o u n d q u e u e 3 . D e l e t i n g i n b o u n d queue4. Re s t ar t d o wn lo a d

.3.4Checking Delta Replication Events

Use
For all master data objects an automatic delta replication will be activated during the initialdownload, i.e. each modification of a master data object is automatically transferred from theECC into the CRM system. Customizing data is not automatically replicated. You have to runthe delta replication manually or run a background job periodically.The initial load of an object normally performs the activation of delta events automatically.You have to activate the delta events manually only if you need the delta eventsbut have not performed the initial load of an object, for example for salesdocuments.If all relevant objects that will be used in the scenarios have been downloadedsuccessfully, you can skip this activity.
Procedure
