The creation of my Business Partner in S/4HANA is not occurring during integration of Supplier Lifecycle and Performance with Master Data Governance.

• SAP S/4HANA
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition
• SAP Ariba Sourcing, cloud edition

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; E.g., 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):

E.g., reconciliationPeriodCounterValue

It should be always 1 for BP replication via SOAMANAGER. The payload has to contain the parameter "reconciliationPeriodCounterValue=1" otherwise the BP may not created in the S/4HANA system.

Setting in Ariba:

name,value
vendor.vendorInfoExt.reconciliationPeriodCounterValue,1
