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.
You can use this report to synchronize the existing tax numbers for thebusiness partner and/or vendor before starting the automaticcustomer/vendor integration. This ensures that you have a consistentstate for continuing to process the object pair business partner/vendorYou should, therefore, start this report before going live with themaster data for the business partner/vendor.
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.
The report is based on the evaluation results of the report CVI_ANALYSE_
VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Analysis of Tax Numbers for Business Partner andVendor and synchronizes the tax numbers for the business partner withthe tax numbers for the vendor.

Integration
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 synchronizethe tax numbers, the content of the old assignment table BC0001Business Partner: Assignment Vendor - 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)

Prerequisites
You have executed the report CVI_ANALYSE_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Analysisof Tax Numbers for Business Partner and Vendor and determined that aninitial synchronization of tax numbers is necessary using the log.

Selection
You can choose the following options under Direction for InitialSynchronization of Tax Numbers:

• No Direction Chosen

Indicates the state before the report is started for the first time.Choose a valid synchronization direction to start the report.

• Business Partner to Vendor

The initial synchronization takes place from the business partner to thevendor.

• Vendor to Business Partner

The initial synchronization takes place from the vendor to the businesspartner.

• Switch Direction Automatically

If you activate this option then the system always overwrites the objectwith no tax numbers, irrespective of the synchronization directionchosen.
After the report has been executed for the first time, you can no longerenter values in the parameters.

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 synchronization direction chosen is saved in table BPCONSTANTS inthe CONSTANT = CVISCT field.
The report writes the results to a log. You can analyze the resultsunder Application Log: Display Logs (transaction SLG1).

Activity
Execute the report CVI_ANALYSE_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Analysis of TaxNumbers for Business Partner and Vendor and evaluate the log.
In this report select a unique run ID and the package size. UnderJob Distribution you can further divide processes intoservers/server groups.
Depending on the analysis results for the reportCVI_ANALYSE_VEND_TAX_NUMBERS Analysis of Tax Numbers for BusinessPartner and Vendor, determine the synchronization direction for thereport. If tax numbers have mainly been processed in the customer todate, for example, choose the processing direction Vendor toBusiness Partner.
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, evaluate 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.

Example


• You have chosen the synchronization direction Vendor to Business
Partner.
Both the vendor currently being processed and the corresponding businesspartner have tax numbers. The tax numbers for the vendor overwrite thetax numbers for the business partner. However, the tax numbers for thebusiness partner that could not be synchronized are kept.

• You have chosen the direction Vendor to Business Partner and also
set the Switch Direction Automatically indicator.
There are no tax numbers stored for the vendor currently beingprocessed, however, the assigned business partner has tax numbers. Ifthe Switch Direction Automatically indicator had not been setthen the synchronization direction chosen would have overwritten theexisting data for the business partner. However, seeing as SwitchDirection Automatically is activated, the tax numbers for thebusiness partner are transferred to the vendor.
