The replication of Business Partner Master Data uses the Middleware functionality, here is path to that Help area:

SAP Customer Relationship Management -> Master Data Business Partners -> CRM Integration Services.

Go to the section 'Controlling the Message Flow and Error Handling' for valuable information on BDocs.

The following Blog goes through the various system settings required for BP data transfer to work correctly:

Sometimes it is necessary to stop an initial load before it completes, for information on how to do this, see the following:

Similarly, you may wish to stop the delta download from ERP to CRM, here's how to do this:

It is possible to filter the data being transferred between ERP and CRM and vice versa. To filter the data download (ERP to CRM), filters are set on the download objects in transactions R3AC1/R3AC3/R3AC5.

To filter the data upload, that is data sent from CRM to ECC, please see the following:

Often, the best and only way to resolve a data replication issue is by debugging the queues, this is a very useful blog on how to debug the customer delta download from ECC to CRM:
