Default values if any maintained for an attribute will be selected automatically and you can change the value accordingly.

Click save and the entered attribute and values are assigned to the business partner.

3.1.3. Replicating the data to C4C

For replicating the above created data and assignment we have to call the change pointer report for the IDoc types for attribute, attribute set and assignment.. (Note: The IDoc creation will not happen automatically and is only done via change pointers). In customer system these reports with the corresponding input types will be scheduled.

Change pointer report is accessible via report name RBDMIDOC from SE38 or directly via transaction BD21. The corresponding IDoc type has to be given as input while running the report to generate IDocs from change pointers to the external systems as maintained in the distribution model. Unlike other CRM IDocs CHRMAS, CLSMAS and CLFMAS needs a distribution model to be maintained via transaction BD64.

Scenario IDoc Type

Marketing Attribute CHRMAS

Marketing Attribute Set CLSMAS

Marketing Attribute Assignment CLFMAS

Note: The sequence is very important: it must be CHRMAS followed by CLSMAS and then CLFMAS. The subsequent IDocs have dependent data in the predecessor and if not followed in this sequence will raise exception in C4C system during message processing.

1. CHRMAS

Execute 2. CLSMAS

In case of PI as the middleware you can check the process integration scenario COD_CRM_MasterDataReplication for the complete flow of marketing attributes data.

In case the middleware is HCI following are the integration iflows:

1. Marketing Attribute

a. CRM to COD 

com.sap.scenarios.crm2cod.businessattribute.replication

a. CRM to COD 

com.sap.scenarios.crm2cod.businessattributeset.replication

3. Marketing Attribute Assignment

a. CRM to COD 

com.sap.scenarios.crm2cod.businessattributeassignment.replication

b. COD to CRM 

com.sap.scenarios.cod2crm.businessattributeassignment.replication
