Question

Using Supplier Lifecycle and Performance integration with Master Data Governance, why is my Business Partner not being created in S4Hana?

Answer

The most likely cause of this is due to key mappings specified in S4Hana not being maintained in Ariba. Make sure that your key mappings also exist as field mappings in the SLP system.

Key mappings are commonly used in the Default Field Values file which ensures they will be included for all suppliers by default
An example key mapping which may be used is reconciliationPeriodCounterValue
You can use the Default Field Values sample file export found in Manage > SM Administration > Default Field Values to search for the appropriate field mapping
The field mapping and necessary value can then be added to the Default Field Values file

Example entry to the file (case sensitive):

name,value
vendor.vendorInfoExt.reconciliationPeriodCounterValue,1

Additional Information

To narrow down the root cause/missing key, you can implement the following correction instructions in S4Hana:
