Use
In this IMG activity you can assign industry keys for the customer and vendor master records to industries for the business partner (and vice versa), in order to ensure that both industry fields are updated correctly in the context of Customer/Vendor Integration.
In business partner processing you can store several industries from different industry systems in business partners belonging to the category Organization. You can name one industry as the standard industry for each industry system.
You can store just one industry in the customer and vendor master records.
In this IMG activity you determine how the corresponding industry in the customer/vendor master record is derived from the standard industry for the standard industry system when you process a business partner. You also determine from which industry in the customer/vendor master record the corresponding industry is created for the business partner.
Requirements
- You have set the industries for the customer and vendor accounts in the IMG activities Define Industries (for the customer account) and Define Industries (for the vendor account).
- You have set the industry systems and industries for the business partner in the IMG activity Maintain Industry Systems and Industries.
Standard settings
If you create the business partner from the customer, you can copy an industry from the customer master record to the business partner. The industry for the business partner that is assigned to the customer master record becomes the standard industry for the business partner.
In Customer/Vendor Integration you can copy only one industry from the business partner to the customer/vendor master record. This is the industry in the customer/vendor master record that corresponds to the standard industry for the standard industry system according to this IMG activity. If you have not determined a standard industry in the business partner, no industry is copied to, or deleted from the customer/vendor in Customer/Vendor Integration.
Activities
- Under Select Industry System, select the standard industry system for the business partner.
- Assign the industries between the business partner and the customer/vendor master record:
- Under Define Outgoing Industry Mapping, assign the industry for the customer/vendor master record to the industry for the business partner.
- This ensures that when you process an industry from the business partner management interface (transaction Maintain Business Partner), you also process the correct industry in the customer/vendor master record at the same time.
- Under Define Incoming Industry Mapping, assign the industry for the business partner to the industry for the customer/vendor master record.
