Business Partner Master Data Replication in Intercompany Solution

This feature enables you to replicate business partner master data across branch companies.

To synchronize business partner master data, you must set a business partner as a Global Business Partner in the Business Partner Master Data window of SAP Business One.

To open the Business Partner Master Data window, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Business Partner → Business Partner Master Data.

The following field has been added to the Business Partner Master Data window and is relevant to the Intercompany Integration Solution.

Field

Description

Global Business Partner

Select this checkbox to replicate the business partner master data to all branch companies for use in interbranch transactions.

Once a business partner is set as Global Business Partner, the selection cannot be reversed (you cannot deselect the checkbox).

You can also mark all business partner master data as Global Business Partner in one go. This can be done from Set BP to Global BP window available in Intercompany Implementation Wizard.

To display the Set BP to Global BP window, choose Administration → Intercompany Implementation wizard → Set BP to Global BP.

You can also set a system to automatically mark a business partner as a global business partner when the business partner is added. In the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration → Setup → Intercompany → General Settings

Note

When adding or updating global business partner master data which has been assigned a distribution template code, the global business partner is replicated to the branch companies defined in the distribution template.

If no distribution template code is assigned, this indicates that the global business partner is replicating to all branch companies.
