Use
If you run the components Financial Basis and Accounts Receivable Accounting in separate systems, you have to create a distribution model where you define how the data is to be sent between the systems.
Since SAP Collections Management works with the entity Business Partner, in this case you have to configure master data distribution between the systems involved. This means that all customers in your Accounts Receivable Accounting must be replicated in business partners and distributed in the Collections Management system.
You can use master data synchronization to replicate the customers. Depending on which system you run this master data synchronization in, there are two scenarios for the distribution model to be defined:
- Master data synchronization runs in the accounting system.
- Master data synchronization runs in the Collections Management system.
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
If you run master data synchronization in your accounting system proceed as follows:
Model the data flow between the systems by creating a distribution model:
Proceed
- Create a model overview or enhance an existing one.
- Insert the following message types under this view:
- Sending system: Accounting system
Receiving system: Collections Management
BUPA_INBOUND_MAIN_SAVE_M
(Restrict the business partner roles to be distributed using the data filter)
BUPA_INBOUND_REL_SAVE_M - Sending system: Collections Management
Receiving system: Accounting system
BUPA_INBOUND_MAIN_SAVE_M
(Restrict the business partner roles to be distributed using the data filter)
BUPA_INBOUND_REL_SAVE_M - Generate the partner agreement in the maintenance system of the distribution model.
- Distribute the model view in all systems involved.
- Generate the partner agreement in all integrated systems.
- Activate the following modules in the outbound interface of the business partner:
- BUPA_OUTBOUND_ALE_MAIN
- BUPA_OUTBOUND_ALE_REL
- UDM_OUTBOUND_ALE_REL
If you run master data synchronization in the Collections Management system, you have to distribute the FI customers from your accounting system using the standard customer distribution. For more information see the ALE Implementation Guide (transaction SALE) under Model and Implement Business Processes -> Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Accounting -> Master Data Distribution -> Proposal for Distribution Model Customer and Vendor Master.
