Hi There ,
We have a situation where out Business Partner number range is not aligned with Customer and Vendor numbers . We definitely have BP integration in place but just because the numbers are not aligned defeats the purpose of BP in the organisation in terms of looking up a customer or Vendor .
Is there a recommended SAP practice to realign BP with customer and vendor master numbers . This will help us doing quick search which is causing more time as we need to search via ECC . We are MDG deployment on top of ECC and on 6.1 version today.
Thanks,
Binoy
Hi Binoy,
the MDG UI always creates a BP first before the object is mapped to customers and/or vendors. The mapping from BP to customer/vendor is done according to your setup of the customer/vendor integration. The important customizing is the one you define for mapping the BP grouping to the corresponding customer/vendor account group. Those finally choose the numbering (internal or external). The only combinations that can guarantee identical numbers are the one that have the corresponding flag set in the CVI customizing. You can do:
1. BP Internal to Customer/Vendor External w/ same Number
2. BP External to Customer/Vendor External w/ same Number
If your CVI customizing is setup as BP internal/external to Customer/Vendor internal, same numbers can NEVER be guarantueed!
Best regards
Michael

Hello Binoy
Similar issue we faced and really not sure what is the reason. But you can go through SAP note - 974504 - Inconsistencies in link tables of master data sync. The solution as per note is to delete the BP and again re-link them with the new number but its a risk. Another way is extend the std search application and add customer and vendor number in search.
