Programme SAP RFFMCCRVENDORUPDATE - Update Business Partner/Vendor from CCR Data

Purpose
The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor databasefor the U.S. Federal Government. The CCR collects, validates, stores,and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions.
Both current and potential government vendors are required to registerin CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the government. Vendors arerequired to complete a one-time registration to provide basicinformation relevant to procurement and financial transactions. Vendorsmust update or renew their registration annually to maintain an activestatus.
CCR validates the vendor's information and electronically shares thesecure and encrypted data with the federal agencies' finance offices tofacilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT).Additionally, CCR shares the data with government procurement andelectronic business systems.
This program is used to update SAP ERP vendor master records whenupdates occur in the CCR vendor records.

Prerequisites
To update SAP ERP vendors with the updated vendor records provided byCCR you must first:

  • Run the program RFFMCCRUPLOAD program to bring the CCR vendor records
    • into the SAP environment
    • Run the program RFFMCCRVENDORCREATE to create the SAP ERP vendors in the
      • system
      • Correctly implement the update method of the BADI FMFG_CCRVNDORMIGRATE

        • Selection
        You can select which CCR vendors you would like to create SAP ERP vendormaster records for by specifying the DUNS number, DUNS+4 number, CAGEcode, or Taxpayer Identification number as selection criteria.
        This program also provides a selection option that displays all CCRvendors that have updates available. This option can be used if you areprocessing the report online with a small number of vendors to update.

        Output
        The output of this report is an ALV grid display that contains thevendor records processed, along with the status of the update.
        Note: SAP ERP vendors are updated using the SAP IDOC functionality andeach vendor record that is processed will have a corresponding IDOCnumber. This IDOC number can be used to track errors that took placeduring the update process.

        Activities
        Determine which vendors your agency conducts business with and create atext file containing a list of the corresponding DUNS numbers. Use thefile upload option to load the contents of this file into the DUNSselection option on the selection screen. You could also create a textfile specifying the vendors to create using DUNS+4, CAGE, or TaxpayerIdentification number.
        Since the volume of data that could be processed by this report ispotentially very high, you should execute it as a batch job in thebackground.
