Partner function in SRM and R3

hi Experts,
we are having SRM 7.0.(ECS).we have a requirement as mentioned below.
We maintain multiple Ordering adress(OA),IP in R3 for a vendor master.When we replicate this vendor ro SRM.we dont ahve this data copied to BP in SRM?
But we have a provision of definfing New partner fucntion and Partner schema in SRM.Can we link these partner functions with the ones in R3? If we configure the parnter functions and partner schema in SRM ,then we replciate vendors . At this time will the partner functions be transferred?
How can we use the partner function facility in SRM?
please send us your valuable points.
regards

Hi Subhash,
Business Process is as follow:
1. In ECC vendor has Ordering Partner, using standard functionalities
2. When a user is creating a Scheduling Agreement in ECC using these
vendors, the system is proposing the list of Ordering Address to be
selected
3. We replicate the Vendor Master Data from ECC to SRM
4. In the replication the relationship between Vendor and Ordering
Address is lost, but these are creating as two separated BP
5. When the user creates a contract in SRM using one of this vendor,
there is no proposal about the Ordering Address, only way is insert
manually in the Partners TAB in Header (but no search help is provided,
all the vendor are shown).
In SRM we do not have the option of selecting the Invoicing party or
Ordering address for a Purchase Order. This works only in R/3.
So the idea of maintaning the invoicing parties relationship for a
vendor does not have a neccessity.In SRM each of these Invocing parties
are replicated as BP and you can select the respective BP in the PO
depending on your preference for the invoicing party.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Partner Functions in SRM 4.0

Hello All
Is it Possible to have Partner functions implemented in SRM 4.0 ( EBP 5.0).
We are using Extended classic scenario.
Currently The Invoicing Parties are not being Replicated to SRM.
When the Vendor presents invoice, the Remit to Address is usually different.
So the A/P processor has to search with the address and Vendor Name,
to find the correct Invoicing Party.
Also Is there any change in ECC side, which can help the A/P processor to find the Invoicing Party with Ease.
Any configuration in ECC, which can make this happen?
Regards
Kedar

Hello All
I went through a document by Kathirvel Balakrishnan posted in SDN articles, which provides step by step process
for setting up vendor defined partner functions in SRM 5.5.
I checked in our system that , some of the config steps mentioned in that document were not available.
For e.g. "Define Partner Schema' was missing in our system.
Hence we cannot carry out those settings.
Even if we could, the sourcing cockpit in SRM doesn't provide the functionality to change the PO details except for a few basic things like Vendor, Price etc.
I am looking for a definitive answer, whether partners can be implemented and sent thru SRM documents in extended classic scenario in SRM 4.0

No address found for partner function type : 0002 and 0013

Hi Experts,
I have SRM PO and it is partially confirmed ,requester and Goods receipant has left the organisation, now another user trying to post the confirmation, getting the error :
No address found for partner function type : 0002
No address found for partner function type : 0013
We understood that requester and Goods receipant has left the organisation and this user is not there in organisation structure, hence we are getting the error.
Now we are trying to amend requester and goods receipant in the PO with new user(alreday there in the Orgn structure) but system is not allowing to do the same.
How can i post the confirmation now?? is ther any way to post the confirmation without amending the PO ?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Please find the below steps
Step1:
Fetch the shopping baskets GUID using the table CRMD_ORDERADM_H.
Creator of shopping basket -CREATED_BY
Shopping basket no.: OBJECT_ID
Creation date: CREATED_AT
Fetch the shopping baskets GUID.
Step 2
Fetch the GUID of Alternative goods recipient:New User who would be doing Goods Receipt
Use the Function Module'HR_OBJECTBUPA_GETBUPA'
Use function module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL input the shopping basket and GUID.
Fetch E_PARTNER-PARTNER_GUID's of Partner type 00000016 and 00000020.

Difference in partner functions in normal and consignment sales

hi,
What is the major difference in partner functions in normal sales and consignment sales Processing?
regards
prabudh

Dear Prabudh
I dont think there is a difference in normal sales and consignment sales, as for as Partner Functions are concerned. The impact will be on inventory where it will get reduced immediately once you make direct sales whereas it is NOT in consignment process.

Partner Function for STO and relevant inbound delivery

Dear Expert,
i did the partner configuration for Vendor and STO with partner VN-vendor DP-delivery plant.
When i create the STO vendor UP07, both of VN and DP are UP07, but when i create the STO for UP07, no partner data come out for the PO, the partner data didn't copy out from vendor master.For standard PO not STO, the partner data are copied from vendor master automatically. Any advice any further more setting need to do?
I manually input the partner data for the STO, then i try to create inbound delivery, following incompleteness came out"Vendor : Account Number of Vendor or Creditor Missing",user need to manually input the partner number for LF-vendor.But when i check the partner setting for inbound delivery, LF is copied out from VN.Any more setting need to do to make sure the partner number of LF is auto copied from PO data.
Look forward to your reply,
Thank you and regards

Hello,
PLease check the vendor data created as a plant. Go to Vendor master and in purchasing view select extras -> additional Purchasing data-> in the plant assignment enter the Plant number. This will pull in the vendor details into the inbound delivery.
Thanks!!

Same business partner number for SRM and backend system

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 in a classic scenario.
I am trying to replicate vendors from backend system to SRM, but I want that all vendors have same number in two systems, for example:
Vendor 1000 in backend shows as 1000 in SRM
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance
Rosa Rodríguez

Hello,
A. You need to customizing settings in SRM system
1. Define Number ranges as External (Same number ranges which are maintained in R3 backend sytem)
(Tcode:BUCF / Path: IMG --> Cross-Application Components --> SAP Business Partner > Basic Settings> Number Ranges and Groupings --> Define Number Ranges)
2. Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges (Path: IMG --> Cross-Application Components --> SAP Business Partner > Basic Settings> Number Ranges and Groupings --> Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges )
B. Before replication you need extract payment terms and UOM in SRM system & Create the Vendor root org structure (Tcode: PPOCV_BBP)
@Experts: Please add if i miss any thing apart from this.

SRM partner function proposal and determination

Hi experts,
This might be a basic question, i wish to know where and how different partner functions in SRM are proposed?
For example,
When I create a shopping cart with one item, 5 partner function at item 1 are created (which are 19,16,20,75,27). I understand that fct: 20 (Goods recipient) is always the requestor, but how do system determines fct: 27 (Shiip-to-adress)?
Is it derived from company code, produc category etc.
Where is the logic written to propose this automatically by SRM system?I presume it is coming from ECC backend, but would like to know how?
Thanks
Amit kumar Jain

Hi Amit,
Partner Function 16 corresponds to requestor who is the SC creator
Partner Function 20 corresponds to goods recepient who is the SC creator again since he will confirm the goods
Partner Function 75 corresponds to plant under which the SC is requested. This is picked from BBP_LOCMAP table once you have replicated your plants from ECC as locations in SRM)
Partner Function 19 corresponds to supplier who is assigned in the SC
Partner Function 27 corresponds to delivery address which is picked from org structure attribute SHIP-TO-Address.
Hope this helps,
Nikhil

Responsible Service Org and Service Team (partner function)

Hi all CRM gurus,
I'm trying to understand the reasons behind the following design and I hope someone can clarify some points for me:
1. Organisation structure in CRM is set up with service organisation followed by service team, e.g.
ABC Company
|_Call Center 1 (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
|_ Region A
                   |_ Service Team A (the local service team indicator under Function is selected)
                                 |_ User Nancy
|_Call Center 2 (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
|_ Region B (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
                   |_Service Team B (the local service team indicator under Function is selected)
                                 |_ User Mary
2. Organisation determination is set up using rule 14000148 and assigned to the transaction type Z001 for interaction transaction.
3. A service team partner function is created and set up to be determined automatically via the user's assignment in the org structure (14000148). This partner is configured to be made available on the interaction record screen.
4. When a new interaction is created by user Nancy, the system automatically derives the following
Responsible service org = 'Service Team A'
Service organisation = 'Call Center 1'
Service team partner = 'Service Team A'
5. When user Nancy decides that this call should be looked after by another group, she assigns the user Mary and changes the Service team partner to 'Service Team B'. The reason why she has to change the service team partner manually is that the system does not automatically re-determine the partner in change mode.
What I can see is that the focus here is on the service team (which is the partner) and there is no means to update the service organisation and responsible service organisation. So, when the user is changed to Mary, although the service team is captured correctly, the corresponding responsible service organisation (i.e. Service Team B) and service organisation (i.e. call center 1) still remains the same. Is this acceptable?
I would think that the responsible service organisation and service organisation needs to be re-determined but this is not the case.
Are there any reasons why one would not re-determine the responsible service and service organisations?
The service team (partner) and the responsible service and service orgs seem to be handled quite independently which is another area that I don't understand. What is the benefit of having a service team partner?
I have not seen a lot of queries in this area so am not sure whether my thinking is correct or not.
Appreciate some pointers on the above.
Cheers!

Hi Anyone? Any opinion or comments on this set up?

Does SRM support Vendor Partner Functionality from ECC?

Does SRM support or sync up with Vendor Partner functions in ECC such as OA, VN, PI, etc.?
Initial look at SRM does not suggest that SAP has made it easy to replicate partner functions in SRM.

Modify and create new partner function in MM

Hello to everybody = )
Recently I was asked to copy from one cliente to another most of the customizing for the MM module. When I arrived to the PF step for vendors I had a couple of problems.
First, some of the standard Partner Functions were modified and some other were created. When I try to delete and then save the PF
AP Contact Person AP
TO
PC Contact Person AP
The systems tells my that the PC value is not valid in the V_TPAR table.
How should I change this PF in order to continue with the customization steps.

I just find our the answer to my question = )

Replication of Vendor BBP_VENDOR_SYNC - Partner Function required?

Hi everyone - quick one here...
We are running Vendor Replication from R3 to SRM, and are using Replication Program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC overnight to do this. I am aware that we need Purchase Org Data setup for replication to occur.
Now we have 2 Account groups, 1 with Partner Functions VN, OA, and PI, and the other Account Group with NO Partner functions setup.
Replication picks up the Vendors with partner functions, and misses the ones with no Partner Functions. The only way to replicate the vendors with no Partner Functions is for us to manually run the old BBPGETVD.
Am I correct in assuming that at least one Partner function (VN?) is a prererquisite in order for BBP_VENDOR_SYNC program to work?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

How to include a new Z Partner Function in Sales order header drop down lis

Hello SAP experts,
We have come up with a new requirement to include a custom Partner Function-ZI in dropdown of SO header-Partners field.
Current scenario- Presently we are maintaining this partner function ( Say ZI- Institute ) in customer master data-Sales area tab.There could be more than one partners under this PF in master data. While entering sales Order, all partners associated are displayed in Header- partners tab, where only SP, SH, BP, PY partner functions are displayed.
Requirement- 1. Is to provide Drop down of this ZI-Institute partner function (which I did not find presently) in SO header-partners field and user should be able to provide one of partner function as available in Customer master ( as there are more than one partners that can be set in Customer master data but user need to be able to provide ONE of this ZI partner fucntion in DROPDOWN of PF tab in SO header ).
2. In addition, How can I link this new partner function in related sales reports against that particulat order and invoice?
Kindly suggest your valuable inputs as what should be the procedure to get this.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Go to partner determination by VOPA
OR
IMG >> SD >> Basic function >> Set up partner functions >> set up partner function for sales document header
click on partner function and Maintain partner function ZI and back
Then select your existing partner determination procedure (Standard is TA) and click on PARTNER FUNCTIONS IN PROCEDURE and add partner function. and make it mandatory so even user forget to mention then at the time of saving system can remind user
Then double click on PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE ASSIGNMENT
Assign partner procedure to sales document
Now when you creating sales order go to header partner tab and enter you institute partner number
For sales order and invoice report
Execute this report by selecting partner function ZI in VA05N and VF05 respectively
