S4HANA System Conversion Pre-Check Setting Up Customer Vendor Integration
Before we start I want to make it clear that I’m not an expert in the topic of CVI configuration but when I
encountered this problem, I can’t find a detailed configuration guide for the necessary steps I should take, and
my goal was pass the per-check and perform a system conversion successfully, so let’s begin the topic.
Use SE38 to run report CVI_FS_CHECK_CUSTOMIZING, this will give us a glance of the current system
configuration about CVI.
Activate Postprocessing Office
Use transaction SPRO to activate the Postprocessing Office, its under the following path:
Use transaction SM30 to check view MDSV_CTRL_OPT for queue names for the following objects:
Synchronization Objects
This’s very important, based on the information in this view, we can generally decide which customer account
group should be included during the configuration of CI later on. If the “Number Range” column is empty, we
can assume that customer account group is not activated in the system.
Define BP Roles
For each entry of the following BP Roles in BP Role Categories, add “BPUS” and “CHAN” with “Transaction
Allowed” Modification Indicator.
FLCU00
FLCU01
FLVN00
FLVN01
Define BP Role for Direction Customer to BP
The group information was mentioned earlier in section “Check/Define Assign Number Ranges to Customer
Account Groups”
Perform all the necessary configuration in this section. Nothing too much to talk about this step cause it only
involves select component from CVI then mapping it to BP.
As an example of one of the configuration
Run the Synchronize by using Synchronization Cockpit
Transaction MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT
Check the status, if everything was ok, you should be able to see a green icon in the status field. Otherwise it’ll
tell you what was wrong with the configuration, we’ll deal some of the error later on.
3. Vendor Integration Configuration
So basically it was the same procedure as Customer Integration, I’ll list the configuration steps here and skip
the picture
Transaction MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT
If you’re not sure which vendor group was activated in the system, you can ask your functional specialist or
you can check the group one by one by using transaction MKVZ, if that group is empty, then you can excluded
it.
First, let’s maintain the Tax Number categories CN1 and CN5, to do so, use
transaction SM30 to maintain view V_TFKTAXNUMTYPE, copy an existing entry.
Now go to SPRO to Maintain Tax Number Categories, choose create new entries
check here
If you’re still facing error, please run ABAP report from SAP Note 2210486, this’ll give you a detailed
information about which customer or vendor that’s not synchronized correctly, then you can do some
investigation. My experience is that sometimes you may forgot some individual groups or accounts, there’s
also a possibility that you have some “invalid” master data in your system that you may need to manually
correct/delete from the system (double check it before delete any data in production system).
One last thing to mention, it was just a one-way synchronization, meaning only
Customer/Vendor to BP user, if you wish to configure two-way synchronization,
please check the relevant configuration instructions, but basically it’s the same
procedure.
That’s all for this topic, let me know if there’s anything else I can help or correct
me if I made any mistake here.
