Partner functions for SAP Customer Master

I am in the MDM solution definition phase for SAP Customer Master at one of our Cients place. The requirement is to set up a central master data scenario where creation & modification of any customer record will be done via MDM. The following components of Netweaver are in the landscape - SAP MDM, EP, XI.
I need clarification on the following points -
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
Hi Arvind,
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
Partner Function comes under Condition Technique in SAP ECC.here some config has to be done.
For mapping it in MDM, First create a Qualified Table - Partner Function.Determine the Non-Qualifiers and Qualifiers.Then as said by Suresh, u need Java API stuff to complete this task and frontend being EP.
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
It can be done using EP as front end and Java API to dertermine the partner based on the account group.
Thanks,
Felix

Hi Sonam -
and another when we click on Sales district tab at header will get another window where we maintain partner function relate to the sales District
Do you have custom table/maintenance for sales district? Are you not maintaining Sales District in Sales Tab of customer master.
You have to look for the field and table where you have maintained sales distict along with Customer and join the customer with KNVP customers and get all the partners.
For Example - if you have mainationed sales district in KNVV table of BZIRK field then you have to join KNVV -KUNNR with KNVP-KUNNR and extract all records of customer distict and associated partner functions.
Let me know,if the given solution is not applicable for your case.
Thanks

Partner functions directly from Customer master to Billing Header

Hello all,
We need to copy some partner functions from customer master record directly into billing header. we need to do that to avoid billing split.
For example, we have partner function Sales Agent in customer master. We need this function in invoices... but if we change sales agent assignment for a lot of clients, now, we need to change a lot of sales order to avoid invoice splits...
Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hello Jose,
if the partner is already present in the previous sales order, then it is copied to billing document.
No possibility to get it directly from master data.
If it is OK for the business, you could put the Sales agent in the item partner procedure of the billing document (and remove it from header partner procedure). In this way there is not a billing split.
Best regards,
Ivano.

"Dunning Procedure" field for SAP Customer Master?

Dear all,
May I know what's the meaning of inputting dunning procedure for our company code?

hi,
You need to go to transaction code FBMP and you can copy the existing procedure.
As per your company requirement you may need to make changes to the existing procedure or you can create a new one. If you go to FBMP and go thru the fields you will get to know more.
The rest you can get from these links

Partner functions for a specific customer not seen in XD03 but appears in XD02

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a situation where a partner functions for a specific customer not seen in XD03 but appears in XD02, In XD03 only one partner function (Ship to) appears but in XD02 (Sold to, Ship to, Bill to and payer appears), from the customer master I can see that account group for this customer has been changes to Sold to (Z001) from Ship to (Z002).
I checked in settings for OB20 transaction for display customer centrally, it is in Display mode as required and not suprresed would like your inputs as to why this is happening and what can be done to fix this.
Thanks and Regards
Mohammed Roshan

Hi ROshan,
Open customer master in XD02 sales view and save it then check in XD03 it should display the partner functions.
As you said the account group has been changed I think the records needs to be saved again.

What is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),
Actually we create partner functions before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.
These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.
Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.
Thanks&Regards

There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.
Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.
So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...
Hope this helps...
THanks,

Order Partner Functions for VENDORs

Hi All,
We are using CRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0. We successfully replicated all the VENDORs from ECC to CRM BPs with BBP000-VENDOR role as this features is supported from CRM 5.0.
We are now trying to get the VENDOR Partner functions replicate from ECC sales order to the Partner Functions for the CRM ORDERS. Looks like SAP doesn't support this feature yet. I am getting the Partner Functions (say Z1 - Freight Carrier ) but the partner data is BLANK. So i am working on a workaround.
My Issue I am using ORDER_SAVE BADI to enter a BP from CRM to this Partner Function that is coming empty to CRM. For some reason my code is not working. Below is my code

Unable to find partner function for SPL screening

Hi Guys
We are trying out the SPL functionality for our Client, We are in the Preliminary stages and have just started the Intial Configuration
The problem comes is the Document in ECC is getting blocked and is working as per functionality
But when in come in the GTS system and check the Documents via (SPL > Display all Documents) in the overview menu, and go ahead and check the Log, it shows an error stating
"Unable to find partner function for SPL screening"
I have checked the configuration and The partner structure, Functions and Assignment are all done
Can the experts help in getting a small checklist which I should do a check through in the configuration/user side, which can trigger this error message?
Thanks
Regards
Carl Ray

Hi Carl,
Did you load the SPL List for Screening? Prior to SPL Screening, we have to create Index for SPL Screening. Please follow the following steps and then re-check the document
SAP GTS Area Menu (/SAPSLL/MENU_LEGAL) -> Sanctioned Party List Screening -> Master Data. Perform the below steps in sequence.
Step 1: Reset Buffer
Step 2: Generate Comparison Terms
Step 3: Aggregate Comparison Terms
Step 4: Comparison terms for Business partners
After doing the above steps, then do the following step
SAP GTS Area Menu (/SAPSLL/MENU_LEGAL) -> Sanctioned Party List Screening -> Logistics -> Check against updated Sanctioned Party Lists -> Check Business partner addresses
After performing the above steps, then re-check the document.
Let me know if the above solution help or not

what are steps required? Do we require a custom service module?
