Middleware: Partner exchange tables

BMG — Mon, 03 May 2010 08:37:14 +0000

In CRM, in the middleware partner-exchange context, there are very userful tables where we can check the data exchanged.

The table CRMM_BUT_CONTNO retains the contact persons information. The ORG_GUID represents the partner guid, the PERSON_GUID represents the contact person guid, and the CONTACT_NO represents the number in R3 (the relation between a partner guid and a partner number is in table BUT000). In R3, the corresponding table is CRMPARNR.

The table CRMM_BUT_CUSTNO retains the contact persons information. The PARTNER_GUID represents the partner guid, and the CUSTOMER_NO represents the number in R3. There, the corresponding table is CRMKUNNR.

Buffering organizational structure

BMG — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 08:15:42 +0000

Buffering the organization structure in SAP CRM, will improve performance when you need to read organizational data.

For that, a report HRBCI_ATTRIBUTES_BUFFER_UPDATE should be scheduled to run every night. But be careful, this report should only run after midnight for buffering the current day. If not, organizational data may be not available, and inconsistencies may occur.

For more information, check SAP Library.

CRM Database View: Document + Related Information

BMG — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:55:00 +0000

Database views are very useful to gather information from various related tables. Especially when programming….

SAP CRM provides some database views in a way that can be easy to collect massive data about documents.

One example: if you want to get information about partners from a document, you can use database view CRMV_LINKPARTNER.

Another example: if you want to get information about organizational data from a document (header level), you can use database view CRMV_LINKORGMAN.

Check for database views with prefix CRMV_LINK*, for more combinations.
