Use

With this Customizing activity, you set up the current client as a substitute system. In the substitute system, you create company codes that represent the different firms from the original systems. Original systems can be non-SAP systems or other SAP systems that do not allow a direct connection to SAP Collections Management, such as SAP systems with Release 4.6C.

Requirements

  • Client for the Substitute System

    In Customizing of Financial Accounting only the standard delivery Customizing is allowed. In addition, no transaction data must have been created.

  • Connection of Original System

    You have created the technical requirements for connecting the original system to the substitute system, and for reading the master and transaction data from there. To do this, you must create and implement the desired Loading Procedure. A sample loading procedure is delivered for an SAP system with Release 4.6C. You make the technical connection of an SAP system by setting up Logical Systems, RFC Connections and Standard Method Calls.

  • Master Data from SAP R/3 Systems

    If you connect an SAP R/3 system, you are recommended not to replicate the customer master data in the substitute system using the loading procedure, but to use ALE distribution instead. To do this, you create a Distribution Model and use the option for generating the model for master data distribution. In Maintenance of Distribution Model you have to generate the partner profiles and distribute the model. You must have completed all of these activities before you create the related company codes in the substitute system.

  • Connection of SAP Dispute Management and SAP Collections Management

    The substitute system must be connected to the SAP Dispute Management and SAP Collections Management system if they are not in the same system. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for these two application components. To connect the systems, the following settings in particular are necessary:

    Financial Supply Chain Management -> Dispute Management -> Dispute Case Processing ->

    • ALE Business Process
    • Element Types and Case Record Model
    • Case Types
    • Process Integration -> Define Derivation of Element Types

      Financial Supply Chain Management -> Collections Management -> Basic Settings for Collections Management -> Business Partners -> Carry Out ALE Master Data Distribution

Standard settings

Activities

In this activity, you start program Set Up Client as Substitute System (FDM_MIRR_CLIENT_SETUP), which you have to execute in the background. You enter the key of a customer account group and a number range that are automatically created.

Automatic Activities

When you set up the client as substitute system, the system performs the following activities among others automatically:

  • Use of cost accounting and the posting of taxes are deactivated.
  • All company codes are deleted; company code TMPL is created as a template for the new company codes.
  • All account groups are deleted: a new account group with number range is created in accordance with your specifications.
  • Various settings are made in Customizing for the substitute system (for example, document change rules, payment methods, payment and dunning blocks, account determination).
  • The application components SAP Dispute Management and SAP Collections Management are activated.

Further Activities after Setting Up the Substitute System

When setting up the substitute system you designated the account group under which all customers in the substitute system are to be created. You have to use this account group in Customizing of the replication tool used, with which you create the related business partners in the SAP Collections Management system from the customers in the substitute system. This can involve, for example, settings for Master Data Synchronization or for CRM Middleware.
