Purpose
As of Release SAP ECC 6.0 the tax numbers for the businesspartner and the customer are automatically synchronized as part ofcustomer/vendor integration.

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.

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

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 Customer to Business
Partner.
Both the customer currently being processed and the correspondingbusiness partner have tax numbers. The tax numbers for the customeroverwrite the tax numbers for the business partner. However, the taxnumbers for the business partner that could not be synchronized arekept.

• You have chosen the direction Customer to Business Partner and
also set the Switch Direction Automatically indicator.
There are no tax numbers stored for the customer 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 customer.
