11. What does the transaction "BBPGETVD" do?
a) It transfers the materials from the back-end SAP R/3 system into EBP.
b) It transfers the terms of payment of the vendors from the backend into EBP.
c) It replicates the vendors from the back-end system into the vendor organization (PPOMA_BBP).
d) All vendor master records are transferred from the backend and the business partner numbers are entered for these vendors in EBP.
ANSWER(S): C
Transaction BBPGETVD exists to download vendor information as business partner information from the back-end system into the EBP. You should take the following into account: whether the EBP is to assign numbers from the internal number range for business partners for the vendors to be copied; whether the vendor numbers are to be copied from the back-end system.
However, it cannot be scheduled to automatically synchronize vendor master data between SRM and R/3. Instead, in customizing for vendor synchronization, you define between which mySAP or R/3 back-end systems and the EBP you wish to automatically synchronize the vendor master data. This setting is necessary in order to start a job-based execution of the synchronization, so that the vendor master data that is newly created or changed in the backend is updated regularly in the EBP System (SRM IMG: SRM Server > Technical Basic Settings > Settings for Vendor Synchronization).
