Create crowd partners from SAP ECC/S4

SAP vendors can be transferred to SAP FSM as crowd partners, if they’re assigned the class and characteristic entered (for a given group and company) in transaction https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/37137589:

See below an example of a vendor (transaction XK03) who’s assigned the relevant class and characteristic:

Classes are created with transaction CL01:

Characteristics are created with transaction CT04:

This characteristic’s value will be populated to field ‘CROWD_TYPE’ of the outbound supplier idoc, during transfer of this object with transaction /PACG/ECM_VENDMASTER - Vendor, address, contact person.

After transferring a vendor with crowd type CROWD_PARTNER to SAP FSM, it’ll appear in the crowd workforce tab, however without any admin technician.

The next steps to perform are:

1. Create an employee record in PA30 for the partner admin user

2. Assign the transferred vendor to the employee with infotype 0315:

3. Assign a crowd type of ‘PARTNER_ADMIN’ to the user in transaction https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/508755969:

Make sure the user is transferred to SAP FSM.

4. In SAP FSM admin module assign a password to the new user and manually activate it.

5. (This point is relevant for technicians already created in SAP.) For each new partner technician, create new user entries with crowd type PARTNER_TECHNICIAN in the user maintenance transaction. Manually activate any new partner technician in SAP FSM. Crowd login link with access credentials should be sent to the partners manually since crowd partners are not involved in the registration process.
