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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Partner function Payee in SRM

    Hi All,
    I think there is no business partner function in SRM for "Payee". Is this correct?
    In such case, is it possible to create in SRM? Furthermore, is it possible to assign this business partner function when we post invoice from SRM?
    Thanks for you help

  • 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,

  • Partner functions in EBP for extended Classic Scenario

    Hello Guru's,
    I have a few questions on handling partner functions in SRM 5.0 extended classic PO..
    We are planning to use a freight vendor partner as one of the partner functions. The PO raised should go to both the parties from SRM.
    Is the output handled in SRM or do we have to use the copied PO on R/3 to send it over to the freight vendor.
    Could someone throw in some points.
    Thanks
    Manoj

    Hi
    I think, we cannot send PO output to multiple partners (vendors) at one point of time.
    You need to use the 'repeated output' check box in the 'output' tab of PO in SRM to send the PO to other partners.

  • SUS: Vendor not created in SRM with partner function 19

    Hi,
    I am using SRM 5.0 MM-SUS scenario. The issue is related to vendor migration from ERP and updation in SRM.
    When i migrate a vendor with account group VEND from ERP then in SRM the vendor is properly created and a corresponding entry is updated in table CRMD_PARTNER. The vendor is alotted partner function 19.
    However when i migrate a vendor with acount group VEIN from ERP the in SRM vendor is getting created and is updated in vendor organisation but its entry in table CRMD_PARTNER is missing.
    Does this mean that only account group VEND is considered as vendor in SRM and thus assigned partner function 19 and gets a entry in mentioned table.
    Request your inputs.
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Vendor data is maintained in table CRMD_PARTNER only when transactional documents exist for the vendor.

  • Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

    Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
    So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
    Niels Vanwingh

    Thanks Masa,
    I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
    Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
    We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
    Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
    Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
    Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
    Is there any way we can achieve this?
    In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

  • Classic Scenario PO has multiple OA Partner Functions for Vendor

    Hi,
    I have a 'design' issue. My R/3 Vendor has many OA Partner Functions for the different Branches they have and the PO needs to be Faxed to the OA Partner Function number, but the PO needs to be created against the VN Partner Function.
    So, how do i do this in SRM? I was going to have a seperate Catalog link for each OA Partner function, but this is not creating the R/3 PO with VN Partner Function of the 'core' Vendor number.
    Does anyone have any advice for this?
    regards Adam

  • PO: Transfer Partner Function to R/3

    Hi all
    I'm workin on SRM 5.0 ECS.
    I'm able to create a PO and it is replicated to backend. But the partner function aren't replicated.
    I have to do some custom with badi or some customizing check?
    thanks
    enzo

    Hello,
    Please check SAP note:-  1031141.
    SRM does not have support replication of ordering address in the way
    you would like to see it.
    As you have already noticed that the ordering addresses are replicated
    as different BP's you will have to chose the corresponding bp in the
    PO creation.
    Also  I observed the PO allows only selection of vendor and will pick
    the corresponding address of the BP as ordering address, PO does not
    have the privilege of selecting the ordering address for the vendor.
    sorry but this is a limitation from SRM perspective.
    I hope this helps.
    regards,
    Gaurav

  • 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!

    Hello,
    Check:
    A. RFC user has been assigned to Local Purchase org & local purchase group.
    B. RFC user is consistent in BBP_ATTR_CHECK.
    C. Plants have been replicated properly into SRM and have been assigned the proper GUID's.Check table BBP_LOCMAP for this.
    D. Also check the SRM RFC destinations and the SRM RFC user assigned in both the Systems.

    Hi All,
    We are getting an error as shown in the screenshot below for a particular user.
    - The user Id is also faulty and when we try to repair the user we get an error that there are open SC.
    - Even if we try to complete the GR using other user id which has Secretary Role (Purchase Assistant à GR/SE for other user), it shows the same error “Partner not found with partner type Goods Receipt".
    Any pointers to this will be very useful.
