• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION072 - Supplier &1: SAP ERP vendor role (FLVN01) replaced with role BBP000 ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION072 indicates that there is an issue with the replication of supplier data from SAP ERP to SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). Specifically, it states that the vendor role (FLVN01) has been replaced with the role BBP000. This typically occurs during the replication process when the system detects that the vendor role assigned in the ERP system is not compatible or is being replaced by a different role in the SRM system.
  Cause:
  
  Role Mapping Issue: The vendor role FLVN01 in the ERP system is not recognized or is being replaced by the BBP000 role in the SRM system. This can happen due to changes in role definitions or configurations in either system.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the SRM system that dictate which vendor roles are valid or how they should be mapped from the ERP system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the vendor data between the ERP and SRM systems, leading to the replacement of roles during replication.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Mapping Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings in the SRM system and verify the role mapping for vendors. Ensure that the roles are correctly defined and that FLVN01 is mapped to the appropriate role in SRM.
  You can check the mapping in transaction code BP (Business Partner) or through the relevant customizing settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Update Vendor Roles:
  
  If FLVN01 is no longer a valid role in the SRM system, consider updating the vendor roles in the ERP system to use BBP000 or another appropriate role that is recognized in SRM.
  You can do this by changing the vendor roles in the ERP system using transaction code XK02 (Change Vendor).
  
  
  
  Replication Settings:
  
  Review the replication settings and ensure that the necessary configurations for vendor replication are correctly set up. This includes checking the settings in transaction BBPCRM or BBP_SRM.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the vendor data in both systems to ensure that there are no discrepancies that could lead to replication issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Notes or documentation related to vendor role management and replication between ERP and SRM for any specific guidelines or updates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that address this specific error message or provide guidance on vendor role management and replication issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as BP, XK02, and BBPCRM for managing business partners and vendor roles.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure proper replication of supplier data between SAP ERP and SRM.
