Data determination for partner function usage

Hi all.
I am confused about a test I made, maybe you could help about the system behaviour.
In a destination country our company have many plants (created in other company code) where we can sell intercompany. We want to decide now  how to manage these destination plants as customers.
We must create every plant as customers (for intercompany flow) and find out to have different partners (different sold-to party) but the same payer because all the plant belong to the same company code. This would mean to have:
plant A=> sold-to party: 2
                Payer: 1
                Bill-to party: 1
                Ship-to party: 2
plant B=> sold-to party: 3
                Payer: 1
                Bill-to party: 1
                Ship-to party: 3...
In this way we will have only one Payer for all the plants which would centralize the payments and invoice receiving.
Our requierement is also not to create sold-to party in company code or blocked them at company code level to avoid posting any invoice because all the invoices should be managed using an unique payer (1).
But when making tests system is giving me an error trying to post the invoice. The error is related to to sold-to party that is not created at company code level. I thought that the only party important to be updated at FI level was the payer. Is it normal this behaviour? Is there any way to avoid it?
Many thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi Kapil. Thanks for your fast answer.
I have been checking both messages but I still have some questions. What happens if I have more than one plant for ordering in the same company code/sale organization of destination? Must I create more than one customer for delivering company code/sale organization?
SAP lets you to assign different customers for different plants in IMG/ material management/ Purchasing/ Purchase order/ Set up stock transport order/ define shipping data for plants
Here you can define a different customer per plant. Obviously you can assign the same customer for more than one plants, although we create and assign one different customer per plant.
If we introduce a customer per sale organization in "Menu Path: IMG/ SD / Billing/ Intercompany Billing/ Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization" which one has got priority?
Best regards.

  • Output determination for partner function in PO

    Hi MM Gurus.....
    <b>How to determine the out put type for a freight vendor in PO ?</b>
    Business scenario : We have a regular vendor from whom we procure material. Also we have different freight vendor which we maintain in condition type for freight.
    Now , I want two different output types to be generated for these two different vendor ?
    I tried using partner functions, maintained condition records for both vendor with different condition type ..but , system determines the output for only regular vendor and not for freight vendor.
    Can anyone please help me resolve this issue ?
    Many Thanks in Advance,
    Vidyadhar.

    Dear Vidhadhar,
    OUTPUT DETERMINATION:
    Output is a form of media from business to one of its business partners. The output can be sent to any of the partners defined in the document. Outputs are usually in the form of Order Confirmations, Freight List, Delivery Notes, Invoices & Shipping Notifications. Determining form of output is output determination
    Types of Output: Print Output, Fax, Telex, E-Mail & EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
    PRINT OUTPUT:
    SPRO- IMG- Basic Functions- Output Control- Output Determination- Output Det using Cond Tech- Output Det for Sales Documents & output det for billing documents.
    Create Condition Table: select the field Sales Doc Type from field catalog & Save
    Maintain Access Sequence: 4-digits code & description. Assign condition table to access sequence. Select Accesses line item and Go To Fields. Fields will display the fields we have selected in the condition table.
    Give the same 4-digit code as given to acc seq to output type.
    You Can Maintain:
    Languages of Output
    Partners (to whom we want to send output)
    Print Program- print specification
    Sap Script- layout
    Assign Output Types to Partner Functions: go to new entries & assign your output type to partner functions.
    Maintain Output Determination Procedure: Go to new entries & create your own 6-digit code with descp. Select the procedure & go to Control Data. Here mention the output type i.e. cond type & leave requirement and manual only columns as blank.
    Determination Rule: link the 6-digit procedure code to doc types.
    Create Condition Records: Select document type and click on Communication. Mention partner function, medium, time. Output device: LP01, Spool request Name, Suffix 2: order_confir & flag on print immediately.
    Once you press enter you will come across 2 key combinations:
    During output determination, the system determines the recipient of the output from the master record for the specified partner function. In this field, you can explicitly specify a recipient that will override the standard partner. There must also be a master record for the partner that is specified explicitly.
    Medium, Time & Language.
    Order Type: Document Type, Partner Function (abbreviation), Partner, Medium, Time & Language.
    Reward points if this is helpful.

  • Message determination and Partner function LS (Logical system) for PO

    Hi,
    I have worked in the past with vendors (VN) as partner roles in a PO, with the message to create an EDI outpout to Partner Type: LI (Vendor), and this works succesfully.
    Now, the idea was to use in EDI, a Partner Type: LS (Logical system) as a receiver of EDI messages (message types: ORDERS) for inbound Purchase Orders to the Partner.
    So, we have set up a respective message condition, with Partner Function: LS  (Logical System), in transaction: MN04 (Create Output-condition records).
    A. When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent to partner.
    B. When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
    Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
    Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N?
    There is a single message condition that is to be read for both cases (trans: ME59N and ME21N).
    Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner (=Logical System), manually, I receive a warning message :
    VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent.
    However you can not assign a partner function LS to a vendor, in vendor master data, because of message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
    Anyone with similar experience? Thank you for your advice.

    Hi,
    I well understand that the receiving partner can be a partner: Vendor (LI).
    I have seen that working.
    However, in the Partner Profiles (trans: WE20), the receiver was created as a Logical System (LS).
    We want the partner Logical system (LS) to receive the idoc for purchase order (ORDERS).
    After that, I think that the idea is that the LS can generate an idoc for a sales order creation that will then outbound to another partner.  I think that this is the concept.
    The issue is that I have seen that the POs created with transaction: ME59N, have received from message determination (trans: MN04) the message with partner LS (automatically), and the idoc of the purchase order (ORDERS) have reached the partner LS.
    The question is why the message determination fails when creating the PO from trans: ME21N or ME21, with reference to the PR. Message condition is the same and message determination procedure is the same for both cases.
    There is no issue with customizing for the LS in trans: WE20
    (Port processing agent is Active for LS and ORDERS have the proper processing code for application EF).
    I hope I am helping more with this.

  • Need to determine which partner function level is pulling in the currency (

    need to determine which partner function level is pulling in the currency (sold to, ship to , bill to or payer)on sales invoices
    Also I my requirement is to have different currency based on different ship to party for same sold to..then how set up the same

    Hi,
    Yes, that is true. The field borders are not drawn when there is no data for that field.
    Here's a workaround though. Create this formula and use this formula field instead of the original database field on the report
    if isnull({database_field}) or not({database_field} > 0) or not({database_field} = "") then
    space(1) else totext({database_field})
    You can then apply borders on this field and you'll see that the field draws the border when there is no value.
    If the field that is in the Subreport, then it needs to be done in the Subreport, otherwise in the Main Report.

    Hi Ankit,
       Please check the Partner Tab in Header and see whether partners have been determined for the PO. If that is not determined, then check the customization settings in NAST.
      You can also refer to SAP Notes 117537, 407600, 69492 and 459350.
    Hope this helps.

  • No fax number could be determined for partner

    Hi,
    I received this message when I was trying to see output type after creating, saving sales activity (VC01N), then come back to this sales activity > Goto> Output. My output type is not shown here. So I went to Determin Analysis, I found 3 messages here 541 Output found, 570 No fax number could be determined for partner <xxxxx>, and 516 Fax number could not be determined. Condition type is set for fax output. This output type is also set for printer and external send. They are working fine. Some how only for fax output, fax number is not found for the partner. Any light on this topic is appreciated.
    This partner is contact person of the customer. Fax number found for this partner in XD03.
    If you need more information please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Surya.

    Hi Surya,
    U need to check and see the fieldnames of fax number and its ID(sequence number) and also FTP/URI fields and its ID...
    use tables adr3 and adr12
    first you must determine address-no. (e.g. from table kna1 / lfa1 or other master data).
    or do like this:
    1) goto LFA1 table take the address number(ADRNR) of the purticular vendor by using vendor number(LIFNR).
    2)then goto ADRC table, enter the address number(ADRNR).now u'll get all the communication details of the purticular customer.
    kindly reward if found helpful.
    cheers,
    Hema.

    How can i post the confirmation now?? is ther any way to post the confirmation without amending the PO ?

  • BADI for partner function

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a badi for partner function in trx ME21N, ME22N.
    In the tab Partners of the header of PO there is a table with partner function.
    Any ideas?
    thanks
    enzo

    Hello Enzo
    The BAdI you are looking for is (most likely) <b>ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST</b>.
    If you want to check data then the method of choice <b>IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~CHECK</b> (<i>closing check</i>).
    The CHECK method provides you with IM_HEADER (IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_MM). If you look at the implementing class CL_PO_HEADER_HANDLE_MM you have a method IF_PURCHASING_DOCUMENT~GET_PARTNERS available.
    Please search the SDN forums for postings related to <b>ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST</b>. I have posted several answers to this topic.
    Briefly, here is the way to go:
    method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~CHECK.
      DATA:
        ls_header      TYPE MEPOHEADER,
        lt_partners     TYPE MMPUR_PARTNER_ALL_TAB,
        ls_partner      LIKE LINE OF lt_partners,

  • Organizational data determination for mkt. activities

    We need organizational data determination for mkt. activities created from campaigns. In CRM we have only the Marketing part of  the clients organization, using Marketing scenario in PPCOMA_CRM.
    If we leave org. unit field of activity blank, the activity has a red error light.
    The responsable person is the one from the campaign. It is responsable of en Marketing unit (that was assigned to campaign).
    The possible solutions for our cliente could be 1) org data determination from preceding document or 2) org data determination from the Mkt organization of the responable person.
    Concerning 1) There is no "natural" way to assign the preceding
    document (campaign). Am I right?
    Concerning 2) The only way to determine the an unit, was choosing Organizational Model Determin. Rule 10000148 to perfile ZDUOCTEST and later changing the scenario of rule 10000148 from sales to marketing. This obviosly is not standard. As rule and perfile now have diferent scenarios. What would be the standard solution?
    Thanks for help.
    Cristina

    hi
    please do not get confused by the terminology of the standard solution,what you are doing by changing the scenariop from sales to marketing is actually a standard solution,
    as an activity is generated in response to the campiang or survey being submitted,and it is always a sales scenario ,since further activity application is in martketing scenario ,so what you are doing is changing the scenario from sales to marketing so that from those activities tyou can generate the org data,this is the standard and it goes this way only
    if you want to work other way around then just use the preceding document access sequence in the scenario like then you have to use the campaign data instead of the activity generated in response to the campaign,
