How to have extra Field attributes as per BP Role in S4 SAP Business Partner Configuration

SAP Business Partner Configuration

Now we can look at how to combine several roles into new BP Roles Categories that incorporate the Company Code View and the Sales Organizational View.

1. To begin with, we need to define BP Roles Categories. In order to do so, navigate the following customization path: SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Business Partner Roles -> Define BP Roles.
2. Double click on BP Roles Categories and then select the New Entries button. Define the key for your new category and enter the description. Select 0 (general data) in the Differentiation Type and check all potential business partner categories. Click the Save button.
3. Next, navigate the following customization path: SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Business Partner Roles -> Define BP Role Groupings.
4. Double click on the BP Role Grouping Categories and create new entries. Now repeat the same steps taken with the BP Role Grouping and create a new entry before adding the title and description. After that, assign the role group you created previously.
5. Double click on the sub-folder BP Role Groupings -> BP Roles. Click on New Entries and enter the BP Roles (FLCU00 and FLCU01). Click Save.
6. Follow this customization path: SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Number Ranges and Groupings -> Define Number Ranges.
7. Then create new number ranges that will be assigned to our customized BP roles.
8. Select SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Number Ranges and Groupings -> Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges.
9. Create a new entry for the grouping and then enter the short and long description along with the appropriate number range. Use the Internal Standard Grouping radio button to determine the default number range if the grouping was not entered during Business Partner creation.
10. To make the Partner Functions share the same number as Business Partner, simply select the following customization path: SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Master Data Synchronization -> Customer/Vendor Integration -> Business Partner Settings -> Field Assignment for Customer Integration -> Assign Keys -> Define Number Assignment for Direction BP to Customer.
11. Assign the Grouping BP to the existing account group from SD, then click on the relevant number indicator. The number range for Customer (t-code OVZC) should be the same as the BP number range. Check the box under the External column.

You will not be able to add new fields via the IMG path Cross-Application Components->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Basic Settings->Field Groupings->Configure Field Attributes per BP Role. This is used only to control the various visibility options of the fields associated with the datasets that are attached to your BP view.

Now, if you want to add new custom fields to your BP role,

1. Create a new BDT application that uniquely recognizes your scenario (Tcode -> BUS1)

2. Create a new Dataset (Tcode -> BUS23)

3. Create a new field group (Tcode ->BUS2)

a. Here, associate different fields from data dictionary to the new field group

4. Create a new View (Tcode->BUS3)

a. Assign, your BDT application

b. Assign your data set

c. Enter the screen painter program name and screen number

d. Enter function modules that may be required to validate screen input

e. Assign your field group

5. Create a new Section (Tcode-> BUS4)

a. Assign yoru view to Section

6. Create a new Screen (Tcode-> BUS5)

a. Set Screen type (Data screen, Initial screen - Dialog, modal dialog box etc.)

b. Assign your section to your screen

7. Create a new Screen Sequence (Tcode->BUS6)

a. Assign your screen

b. Assign screen sequence category

8. Create Divisibility View (Tcode->BUSD)

a. Assign your data set

b. Assign Calling BDT application

c. Assign screen sequence

9. Define new BP role using IMG Path Cross-Application Components->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Basic Settings->Business Partner Roles->Define BP Roles

a. Here, create new BP role category

b. Assign your view

You can then control the visibility of your fields by using the option 'Configure field Attributes per BP role' as you mentioned.

Hope this helps.
