Org. structure in EBP and R/3

[Patrick Green]

A colleague asked that I post a follow-on to Christine's question on his
behalf:
 
 
Hi Patrick -
Thanks for getting our question addressed by the SAP workflow community.
As mentioned the R/3 Reporting Structure is directly maintained in R/3 and
then ALE'd to EBP.  Here's an overview of what we have configured:
 
In R/3:
The personnel id (P) is linked to the user ID (US) via the infotype 105.
The personnel ID(P) is then assigned to a position (S).  The reporting
structure has orgs(O) with links to the positions(S).  Positions(S) are
also tied to responsibility(RY) for the authorization levels.
 
In EBP:  (Before ALE load)
A procurement organization(O) must be created as well as shopping cart
users must be defined.  To define a user as a shopping cart user, the
function module BBP_CREATE_USER can be executed, where the pre-defined user
id and existing Organizational Unit (Procurement Org) must be entered.
Upon execution, the following objects and relationships are created:
 
- A central person (CP) is created for the userID [establishing a similar
relationship in R/3 and mimicking 105 infotype;  however, no PA105 table
exists in EBP]  This CP record is linked:
     Holder(B008) to position (S)
     Identical (B207) to business partner(BP)
     Identical (B207) to user ID (US)
 
-  A position(S) for that userid is created which:
     belongs(A003) to the org unit(O)specified
     holder (A008) a central person(CP)
     holder (A008) a userid (US)
 
When the R/3 Reporting structure, with all the necessary relationships and
infotypes(including 105), is loaded to EBP, EBP reacts to the infotype 105
by creating a CP record for the P record from R/3; thus creating all the
relationships normally created when a shopper is defined.  With the rule
that a user can only be assigned to  one personnel number; the PA105
relationship from R/3 overlays the existing CP relationships in EBP; hence
the shopping cart user's definition is partially obliterated to the point
that the user can no longer create a shopping cart.
 
One way to solve this is to allow multiple user assignment to a personnel
id.  Is this possible?
 
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Subject:  Org. structure in EBP and R/3
 
Hi,
I am wondering if you have any experience regarding the approach of the
org.
structure in EBP(20C) and R/3 Backend (46C). Do you know if there is any
program available that updates the org. structure in EBP from the one in
R/3
Backend? If there is, do you have any experience with this solution?
Regards
Christine Wennerbo
