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!

Vendor master - Partner functions

Hello Team,
There is a vendor master with partner functions maintained for OA (Ordering address) There are 4 different ordering address vendors maintained in this vendor master.
Let us say Vendor A ---> has OA's - 1,2,3,4
Now when a PO is created a screen pops up to choose the reqd OA's for the vendor and only one will be chosen by the user.
Now this is changeable at PO level - ME22N
Let me get straight to the question
CAN WE RESTRICT THE ICHANGE OF OA's IN THE PO ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF WHAT IS MAINTAINED IN THE VENDOR MASTER.
Right now the system is allowing to change in the PO any OA vendor other than what is maintained in the vendor master.
I know this is because OA account group, let us say W1 is assigned to other 4 account groups W2,W3,W4,W5.
I don't want to change this config to retsrict this by changing the above setting.
As told in on line above, Issue is, any vendor from these 4 account groups W2,W3,W4,W5 , if input in the partner functions at PO level, the system is picking up and I do not want that to happen.
My requirement is to change in the PO only to the extent of OA's maintained in the Vendor master.
Thanks for your patience on this lengthy explanation, TRYING TO BE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE.
Best Regards

Avoiding choosing any vendor like partner functions in PO

For a vendor I have several partner functions in the Vendor Master. And several registers for each one.
For example: Vendor 1 has defined this partners functions
Vendor 0001
Ordering address 0001
Ordering address 0002
But in the purchase order I can choose as partner function "ordering address" any vendor from the Vendor Master (for example anyone different from 0001 and 0002). Is there any way to restrict in the PO so the user can only choose any vendor defined like partner function in the vendor master?
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Hi,
Try making ordering address partner function as non editable for your PO, then possibly the system will give popuup only from address in vendor master,
let us know how it works

Matchcode for Vendors with Partner function as a selection

I have a request to try and create a new matchcode or search help, where they can select on Partner Function. I tried to look, but did not find the ability to use that field. Now i have never had to create a new match code, so can someone first tell me can i get partner function as a search help/match code? If so, can someone give me directions of how to create or send me a link of directions?
Thanks,
Sean

ERS Vendor and Partner Function

Hi All,
The issue I have is:
The main vendor is Non ERS & the PI (invoice presented by) partner is ERS. There is an invoice plan present on the PO.
The problem is that the partner vendor who is due to be invoiced is ERS, but they are unable to receive invoices this way because the main vendor in non ERS..
The usual method is for the Accounts payable to process invoices manually via MIRO upon receiving the invoice from the vendor, but because the vendor is ERS, there is no invoice received so the AC Clarke will not process the invoice.
Is there any other way we can process the invoice to the PI vendor by ERS when the main vendor is non ERS
Hope this makes sense!!..

Hi Anil,
Can you provide more details as to when the invoices should be paid through ERS? Is it by location (e.g. plant) or is it up to the end user creating the PO when invoices should be paid via ERS?

Partner Function "Vendor" missing when the sales order is replicated to ECC

Hi Gurus,
We are facing a problem on replication of functions partners between
sales order of CRM and ECC.
We have downloaded vendors (partners of table LFA1) from ECC to CRM
following note 883162 and this replication was ok!
We have mapped all partner functions from ECC to CRM and from CRM to
ECC for distribution of partners between systems.
We must include a vendor using partner function '0000092 - Carrier' on
our sales order, which is transferred to ECC. However, when the sales
order is transfered to ECC, the vendor (which was included on CRM) is
missing.
When the sales order is created on ECC and the partner (type carrier)
is included in, the order arrives on CRM missing only the partner
number, because the partner function is there.
How to fix this problem?
Best Regards,
Nivea Faria

Hi,
See this Note : 975195
Hope this helps.

Vendor partner function is overriding my output determination for PO email

I'm trying to get a PO emailed to the user who created the PO based on purchasing group. I configured output determination so that a message is correctly getting generated -- in MN05 I've got the purchasing group tied to the VU (user responsible) partner function which specifies the SAP User.
My issue is that the PO is using the vendor (VN) partner function to pull in the vendor address which needs to appear on the PO form. So the system is always looking to the vendor's email for the output instead of my output determination message. Is there any way to disable this yet still use the vendor address for the PO form?
Note that everything is configured properly and I am receiving PO email based on the email in the vendor master. I'm trying to do the same using output determination instead.
Thanks, Vlad

Hi,
1.) got to transaction NACT, Select the Output type; say NEU, and then Select the Partner Function. You can change it as per your requirement for Ordering address, Vendor, Delivering plant.
2.) Yes you can use Vendor's address in the PO Form. For that you would need assistance from ABAP.

Partner functions OA and IP missing for Vendor in Extended classic PO

As part of current Classic scenario, we have maintained OA (Ordering Address) and PI (Invoicing Party) for a vendor in R/3. We have also maintained different ordering addresses for multiple plants in the Vendor master: Partner functions screen --> Alternative data.
I would like to acheive the same functionality in Extended Classic scenario. We have replicated the vendors from R/3 to SRM. After activating Extended Classic scenario, we see only VN as the partner function in R/3 PO.
Q1. How can we enable OA and PI partner functions in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?
Q2. How can we enable different ordering addresses for multiple plants in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?

Hi
Which SRM Server are you using ?
You need to maintain Partner Functions in the SRM Server - SPRO Transaction - Configuration Settings.
Here is the Path from SPRO Transaction ->
Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cros Application Basic-Settings -> Define Partner Functions
Maintain Similar entries as mentioned below.
Function Function Type Usage Description Abbreviation
00000016 0013 B2B Requester RQ

Authorisation at sales order partner function

Hello All,
The scenario is that there are group of users who have the authorisation to change delivery and assign a changed vendor (in partner function) at item level.
Now this group even requires the authorisation to do this at sales order line item level (in partner function), so that the data is alike in sales order as well as delivery.
My problem is, how to restrict the authorisation to only sales order line item level for partner function tab in VA02.
An early help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
AK

Are we allowed to challenge the requirement ?
Why does it bother you that the partners are different on sales and delivery docs ? Assuming you have delivery-related billing the partners on the billing doc will be those from the delivery.
I don't like these automatic updates in the backgrounds, you will run into exceptional cases where you specifically do not want it to happen.
Your authorization is set up not to allow these users to change the sales order. That is for a reason. Can't you put a procedural solution in place, some way contact the persons who do have access ? Could do that even via workflow.
regards
Rad.

Hi Dilip,

Check the path:

Here check whether OA is assigned with ZLOV or not...If no then click on new entries and enter partner function as OA and Vendor account group ZLOV...Save nd come out...

Upload program for Vendor master Partner Data in XK02 needed info

Hello Experts,
I need to write data uplaod program for XK02 for vendor master Partner functions. ( Basically we created some custom partner functions and attach it to many existing vendors ).
So kindly advice me which is the suitable upload method for this.
1) There is no BAPI available for editing vendors.
2) BDC is not possible because the Vendor partner screen is having table control and some records are already filled. (No of row not fixed).
Is there any IDOC available or any standard input pgm?
Please give suggestion.
Thanks and rgds,
Anand

For the IDOC perspective, you can uses CREMAS.
For the mass maintenance you still have XK99 (which also uses CREMAS internally)
True there is NO BAPI
For the BDC and the table control. Well this is not really true.
In batchinput, instead of maintaining the rows by there Number, you should select it at the first position.
OK-CODE /06 will open a selection screen SAPMF02K 2324. The result of the selection screen goes to the first line of the table control.
Of course this works only in BDC
reward points if helpful

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

Kedar
