ICV Implementation-REMSC countries
Recap of the activities for ICV implementation as of Mar-2011 Further activities to be completed for Go-Live Points raised by countries so far and clarifications/ explanations ICV Transactions for business users Country Mappings Dashboard (summary of mappings done so far by countries in terms of profit
center, customers and vendors) Long term approach for ICV- elimination of duplicates and have ICV ID as Local ID ICV further developments awaited:
Online connectivity with MDM server to get updated ICV details without the need to upload in the local ERP
Partner function enhancement (MDM database to have the functionality to hold multiple addresses (Sold to, Ship to) etc., for the same ICV ID
ICV data in the interfaces (OMS/ BOL/ B2B etc.,)

Further activities to be completed for Go-Live
Additions/ Change in Global fixed values for customers/ vendors which needs to be resolved as part of Gate 3 checklist for ICV implementation. Concurrence/ formal approval is required from countries to move these mappings/ validations. Parameters involved are as follows:
Region field in customer master (account groups 2500, 2600) to make it optional for all countries except IN from current mandatory settings
Search term1 in customer/ vendor master to be mapped with Abacus Specific blocking reason for ICV
Explanation of the above parameters are given in the coming slides A feedback excel sheet is sent along with this email in which the countries need to send the
feedback latest by 31-Mar-11
Customer/ Vendor master –Mandatory fields mapped in ICV customizing
We need to map minimum of those fields which are mandatory in our SAP systemCustomer/ vendor master fields mapped in ICV customizingName, Search term1, Country (account groups 1500, 1600, 1800, 2500, 2600, 2800)City , Region (only for customer account groups 2500, 2600)Technically those fields which are mapped in ICV customizing will be filled with the data from ICV connector / table into the customer/ vendor master when the user is creating through ICV transaction

Customer/ Vendor Master Fields- Change in Optional/ Mandatory due to ICV
■For creation of vendors/ customers through ICV transaction, we need to have the minimum number of parameters which are mandatory as per our system configuration for creating a customer/ vendor
■Currently for Internal customers and vendors mandatory field mappings are as follows■Customer account groups 2900, vendor account groups 1500, 1600, 1800: Name, Search Term1,
Country■Customer account groups 2500, 2600 : Name, Search Term1, Country, City, Region
■This needs to be maintained in the mapping table for ICV where we relate the field in customer/ vendor with respect to ICV custom table. During creation of customer/ vendor through ICV transaction, values in ICV table will populate the values in our customer/ vendor master
■Region Field mandatory / optional in customer master (Account groups-2500, 2600)■Currently Region is mandatory for customers belonging to 2500, 2600 account groups for all
countries■With ICV implementation when the user is creating a customer through the ICV transaction
/ABBICV/ICV_CR which will be available for the users through the area menu ZCAGLICV_USERS, since the region value is not there in ICV data system will throw error
■As per business requirement Region is required only for country IN due to taxation requirements■Hence we propose to make the Region field optional for other countries and bring in validation to
enter the region only for IN for the above account groups■Search term to be mapped for Abacus
■Currently most of the countries are using search term for Abacus codes relevant for the customer / vendor
■So we propose for mapping the Abacus code to the search term in customer / vendor master■With this mapping, when the user is creating a customer/ vendor through the ICV transaction, it will
populate the Abacus values from the ICV table■Both the above are illustrated in the coming slides
Customer Master –Region Field mandatory
Currently Region field is mandatory for customer account groups 2500, 2600 for all the countries. This needs to be mandatory only for IN and other countries are maintaining some value since there is a system prompt In the ICV data, since Region field value is not there, while trying to create a customer/ vendor through ICV transaction, user can’t create a record. To avoid this it is proposed to have the Region field optional for other countries and bring in validation only for IN to input the value. In the ICV creation transaction itself, a validation through enhancement is planned
Customer Master –Region Field mandatory
During Creation of a customer through ICV transaction for account groups 2500, 2600 if the country code of customer is IN (India) system will prompt for entering the Region. For all other countries system will not prompt for Region. If any other countries want Region to be mandatory, please specify the same in the feedback excel sheet
Customer Master –Search Term1 field & Abacus code
Currently most of the countries are maintaining the ABACUS code of the Internal customer/ vendor in the Search term 1 field or in some cases ABACUS –PG
We want the confirmation from the countries whether we can map this field to the Abacus code. Impact of this will be during creation of customer/ vendor, system will copy the Abacus field value from the ICV connector / table into this field
Those countries who are filling up with ABACUS-PG need to take note that PG is available in the ICV tab and also search functionality with respect to ABACUS-BU-PG is available at master data level and also transaction level (PO or SO) . So they can manage only with ABACUS in search term1 field
Customer Master –Blocking Reason
It is proposed to have a new blocking reason 90 (Block from ICV) for the customer master. The same will be mapped in ICV configuration. If a particular ICV ID is “Set to inactive” in ICV MDM server, theni)After the ICV connector is implemented, those records which are mapped to Inactive ICVs in SAP system will be set with this new blocking reason 90 (Order block)ii)While one can perform already open transactions, further sales orders can’t be created for those

ICV Transactions for business usersTransaction Code Transaction
ZCAGLICV_USERS Area menu for ICV
ZCAGLICV04 ICV Mapping Percentage
/ABBICV/ICV_CR ICV Customer/Vendor creation
/ABBICV/DATA_MIGRT ICV data migration
All the above transactions have been given to the UATIDs of the countries. In production environment once the package is moved in April-11 request for assigning transactions to relevant master roles will be placed

Process Flow for ICV- Migration, creation or changeActivity
DescriptionCountry ICV team REMSC Remarks
Migration of existing records
Mapping of Profit centers, customers/ vendors to be done with ICV Level 2 ID
Upload the mappings of profit centers, customers/ vendors
For the mapped profit centers, customers/ vendors ICV details will be populated into master data which will further flow to transactions
Creation of new Internal customer/ vendor (account groups 2500, 2600, 2800, 1500, 1600, 1800)
Create the record with respect to ICV details through the transaction /ABBICV/ICV_CR
N.A
Change of ICV details for a particular record (scenario: if a particular record has a wrong assignment of ICV)
Country team to provide the
Change of address details

Points raised by countries and clarificationsPoints raised by countries/
DoubtsClarification Country
What needs to be done for flow of ICV details in open transactions
Logic in the forms is system will look for the transaction for the ICV details and if it is not there then it will fetch the ICV details from master data (customer/ vendor). So there is no need to go into the open transaction and change any parameters for getting the ICV details
All countries
IDTO vendors and customers (account groups 1600, 2600) to be included in ICV mapping
ICV configuration has been done for the same and so the ICV details will flow to the master data and later into transactions for these account groups. Those countries who want the ICV details for these account groups, should specify in their solution manager calls for Forms to include the IDTO customer/ vendors also. Those countries who don’t want to consider the IDTO will still get the blank ICV tabs in the customer/ vendor master and their forms will not carry any ICV details

Long term approach for ICV- elimination of duplicates and have ICV ID as Local ID
After the implementation of ICV, we are going to have multiple vendor/ customer codes per ICV ID in many cases because we are following mapping method
To eliminate
