BUPA_REL BDOC's from ECC to CRM BP Contact PersonRelationship DATES wrong

[Former Member]

Hello SDN community,

BUPA_REL BDOC's - from ECC to CRM - BP Contact Person Relationship (BUR001) - Valid From & Valid To dates are not replicating correctly.

Within ECC,

when a Business Partner's Contact Person relationship (BUR001) is modified, such that one relationship is ended

and the "Valid To" relationship is set to todays date (ie. 20/01/2012).

AND then another Contact Person relationship is created for the BP, with a Valid From date that is set to tomorrow (ie. 21/01/2012) and

the Valid To date is set to 31.12.9999.

THEN the BDOC processing occurring in CRM is setting the relationship dates in CRM incorrectly.

ie. The VALID FROM date is set to 01.01.01 and

the VALID TO date is set to 31.12.9999.

Does anyone have any ideas/solution for this or a similar experience?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Andrew Clarkson

1630644 - No validity period in standard contact person relationship

This is SAP standard behaviour

Due to technical reasons, the partner function assignments are not time-dependent and the validity period of the contact person relationship cannot be considered by the automatic partner determination in the CRM applications. Therefore the maintenance of the start and end for the contact person relationship in CRM is deactivated in the standard system.

A possible workaround is to use a customer-defined relationship category (copy of standard), which can be customized without any limitations.

Hi Andrew,

We noticed the same issue in our system . CRM always having the default validity dates for the relationships.

Can you please let us know the changes you have made to update validity dates on the CRM side

Thanks,
