Use

Controls in the total commitment how a business partner is identified in an external system.

The business partner number from the local system is converted in accordance with the settings made for BP Identification and is passed on to the implementation of the Business Add-In Read Contract Information for an Application to read the contract data for an application.

Dependencies

You can determine the business partner ID in an external system in Customizing for SAP Business Partner for Financial Services under Settings for Financial Services -> Tools -> Total Commitment in the Customizing activity Set Total Commitment in the step Assign BP Identification to Logical System.

You can identify business partners in an external system using the following settings:

  • Identification numbers from "identification numbers" (BUT0ID)

    You identify business partners in the external system using identification numbers for the business partner in the local system. The business partner number from the external system is stored as an identification number in the local business partner

    If the business partner is identified using the identification number, then assign the corresponding ID type for the application to the logical system in addition to this BP identification.

  • Business partner numbers (identical numbers)

    The numbers for the business partners in the local system and those in the external system have to be identical. Business partners in the external system are identified using the business partner number.

    If the business partner is identified using the business partner number, then do not assign an identification number category to the logical system.

  • Cross-system GUID for the business partner

    The business partner in the external system is identified using a cross-system business partner GUID.

    If the business partner is identified using a cross-system business partner GUID, then do not assign an identification number category to the logical system.

If you have assigned a logical system to the application in the step Make Settings for Application and if you have not made an entry for this logical system in the step Assign BP Identification to Logical System, then the system assumes that the numbers have to be identical.   

Total commitment normally merges contract and business partner data that comes from different systems (SAP and non-SAP systems). Different business partner numbers can exist in the individual systems. If you would like to have complete overview of all the contract data for the business partner, you may have to read contract data for different business partner numbers.
