Purpose
As of Release SAP ECC 6.0 the tax numbers for the businesspartner and the vendor are automatically synchronized as part ofcustomer/vendor integration.
If you are already using customer/vendor integration and have stored taxnumbers in the business partner and/or in the vendor, then you shouldsynchronize the existing tax numbers for the business partner and/orvendor before starting automatic customer/vendor integration. Thisensures that you have a consistent state for continuing to process theobject pair business partner/vendor. You can use the reportCVI_SYNC_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS (Initial Synchronization of Tax Numbersfor BP and Vendor) to synchronize the tax numbers.
You can use this report to analyze the existing tax numbers for thebusiness partner and/or vendor before you start the initialsynchronization and the automatic customer/vendor integration. Using theresults of the analysis, you can determine whether it is necessary tosynchronize the tax numbers and, if this is the case, which selectionparameters you need to set for the synchronization direction for theinitial synchronization using the report CVI_SYNC_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS (
Initial Synchronization of Tax Numbers for BP and Vendor).
The system issues the results of the analysis in a log.
The report is used in connection with the upgrade to Release SAP ECC6.0. It is relevant only for customers who already usecustomer/vendor integration and have stored tax numbers in the businesspartner or in the vendor.

Integration
You need to execute this report to prepare for the initialsynchronization using the report CVI_SYNC_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS InitialSynchronization of Tax Numbers for BP and Vendor. For furtherinformation about this report, see the corresponding reportdocumentation.
Note that you have to execute this report before the reportCVI_MIGRATE_VEND_LINKS Convert Assignment Table for Link BetweenBusiness Partner + Vendor if you also want to convert the assignmenttables for the object pair business partner/vendor. For moreinformation, see the corresponding report documentation. To analyze thetax numbers and to carry out the initial synchronization, the contentsof the old assignment table BC0001 Business Partner: AssignmentVendor - Partner must be available.
For general information about customer/vendor integration, see theSAP Library by choosing ERP Central Components ->Cross-Application Components-> Master Data Synchronization->Customer/Vendor Integration
The report is supported by the framework Parallel Processing of MassData. For general information about the parallel processing of massdata, see the SAP Library by choosing ERP CentralComponents-> Cross-Application Components-> General ApplicationFunctions (CA-GTF)-> Parallel Processing of Mass Data (CA-GTS-TS-PPM)
.

Selection

Standard_variants
You can select a unique run ID and the package size. Youcan use the unique run ID to uniquely identify your jobs in theparallel processing tool for mass data. You can use the package size
to specify the number of business partners for each package.
Under Job Distribution you can further divide processes intoservers/server groups. This overrides the number of parallel jobs thatis set in the IMG activity Maintain JobDistribution.

Output
The report writes the results to a log. You can analyze the resultsunder Application Log: Display Logs (transaction SLG1).

Activity
Make the settings that you require for Job Distribution andexecute the report.
Check that the job ran correctly under Call PPF Monitor(transaction BANK_PP_MONITOR). If an error occurred, you can start thereport again with the same unique run ID.
Once the job has run correctly, analyze the log for the analysis reportunder Application Log: Display Logs (transaction SLG1). Theobject to be analyzed is FS_PROT and the external identification is thesame as the unique run ID.
Use the results of the analysis to determine whether is necessary tocarry out an initial synchronization of the tax numbers using the reportCVI_SYNC_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Initial Synchronization of Tax Numbers forBP and Vendor, and determine the synchronization direction for thesubsequent report.

Example
The system displays any conflicts that necessitate an initialsynchronization of the tax numbers for the business partner and thevendor in the log for the report. Determine the direction for theinitial synchronization. See also the documentation for the reportCVI_SYNC_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Initial Synchronization of Tax Numbers forBP and Vendor.
