Sundu

Hi Sundar,
Its very simple.
Go to IMG - SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION FOR CUSTOMER MASTER
Now select Account Groups - Function Assignment in the left hand side column.
Now based on the account group that you use while creating customers through either XD01 or BP transaction, assign the relevant partner functions against your account group.
This should help you solve your query.
Reward points if helpful.
Regards

Account Group and partner functions in customer master records

Hi Gurus,
I need your help to confirm the following understand if correct:
1. To create customer master record for partner function Ship-To, need to create a customer master record using the uniquely assigned account group for Ship-To , that is, 0002 . In this ship-to master record, define in its partner function tab, the other partner functions related to it.
2. To create the above, it cannot be achieved by just assigning the partner functions in the partner function tab of SOLD-To customer master record , created using account group 0001.
Question:
1. How does the system know or allow what codes a user can select (f4) or enter manually when defining in customer master record's partner function tab, the partner functions and their respective codes?
How is this controlled? Is it by user authorization? or will user / sales administrator be able to select any codes tied to a partner function?
2. Lets say there are 2 partner functions : Sales employee VE and 9E called Sales Representative. Both of these partner functions are of Partner Type PE.
When defining in customer master record's partner function tab, how does the system know what codes is selectable for the administrator for each of these partner functions?
best regards
M Russo

hi russo,
this is to inform you that,
1. yes you are right.
2. you need to follow the steps as you said.
Question:
1. that you can find in the search basing on account group for partners. that assignment we should know russo which SH to be assigned to which SP. no need to have authorization for that, make a note of the list of SH and SP to be assigned that's all.
yes, he will able to select any SH from the list but make sure that we assign the correct SH to the list of SP.
2. that you will be defining it in Partner Determination Procedures. at the time of CMR creation you have to select the correct code that will get populated in sales order.
hope this clears your issue.

Difference in P.account groups and Payer

what is the difference between Payer account groups and a payer?
Plz explain.
Thanks

A Payer is the individual or company who settles the invoices foa a service or for delivered goods.
Whereas the account group determines:
Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data
Whether you can or must make an entry in these fields
How master record numbers are assigned (externally by you or internally by the system) and the number range from which they are assigned
Which partner functions are valid
Whether the business partner is a one-time customer or one-time vendor.

Account groups for Partner Roles in Vendor Master

1. Can we use same account group to create the vendor master for the different partner roles? for the partner roles like goods supplier, invoicing party, order party, etc do all these need to have different account groups , example one account group for goods supplier, one account group for invoicing party, etc , etc.
2. why we need the configuration for partner role in purchasing documents besides partner role settings for vendor account group. what is the logic behind to have partner role dependent settings for purchasing documents.
If we do not maintain for partner role settings for purchasing documents what effects it will cause?

> 1. We can have 1 account group represent all partner role or separate account group for each role.
1.If we use the same account group, the field selection control for fields will be applicable to partner roles also. If we have made vendor schema as mandatory in vendor master than we have to assign to partner vendor also. Example ordering address will not require company code data only purchase data, it will not require also pricing procedure as mandatory as no price determination will be required for ordering address.
I think we have to use combination of account group -same account group and different account group will defining vendors for partner function.
Do we require to assign vendor schema group to following vendors roles- goods suppliers, invoicing party and payee.
If we do not assign vendor schema group will these partner role determine price from the VN partner role. For example VN (vendor) has vendor schema group assigned, no vendor schema group assigned to invoicing party, then while doing MIRO the invoicing party will be defaulted. Do the price determined for VN role will be populated for invoicing party in MIRO?
> 2. we need partner role in purchasing doc because we can copy partner role from vendor master to purchasing document
It means we need to assign similar roles in schema for vendor account group and purchasing documents. If you see the schema in config for partner determination in IDES system, different roles exists in vendor schema and purchasing document schema.
This is creating confusion for me to understand.
Please clarify

Account Group and Vendor

I created account group and assgn number and tried to creat Vendor, but system is asking for partner number.
thanks

Hi Shahid
The problem you are encountering could be for teh fact that the number range assigned to the account group is external and hence the system is prompting to assign a partner number
The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records
The account group determines:
o the number interval for the account number of the vendor,
o whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.

Account group
The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.

Relationship between "Account Group" and "GL Acct. number".

I need to create a report that lists the GL Account numbers according to selection screen parameter "Account Group" .
Hi i need to find a way\(tables and fields) between the "Account Group" and
the "GL Account number".
to view "Account Group" go to transaction "kdh3".
to view GL account number go to transaction FS00.
the GL account numbers and cost centers are identified by the same number.

Hi guys, thanks for helping
Max, i tried that field, but it provides a different set of data compared to the account groups i get using the "F4" on KDH3
Chandrasekhar, i had a look at the view, but it also does not contain the same account groups as found in KDH3.
I have been stuck on this for a while.
thanks again

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.

Vendor/Customer Account Group and Master Records

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me during implementation Vendor/Customer account groups and Master Records will be prepared by FI Consultants or MM, SD Consultants?
Waiting for reply
ThankYOu

Dear Verma
It is the usual practice that FI consultants should prepare Account group and also maintain General data and Company code date in Vendor/Customer masters. SD and MM consultants are informed by FI to maintain Sales and Purchase organization respectively by SD and MM consultants.
If this helps please reward with points.

Account group and Account Type.

Hi all,
Could you please tell me the diferences between GL Account group (by example cash, expense, revenue ....) which we define in IMG - Financial Accounting - General Ledger Accounting - G/L Accounts - Master Records - Preparations - Define Account Group and Account Type (by example: Vendor, Customer, Material, GL Account) which is in the screen "create account type" IMG - Financial Accounting - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Document - Document Header - Define Document Types ?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Account Group Controls the Master records. It controls the number range of Master record and Field status group (Supress, Required, Optional and Display) also. SAP follows a Grouping principle all throughout SAP to handle the Master Records that may be in GL, AR AP any thing. See to create a GL Account group you define at OBD4 there itself you assign the Number Range or those groups which also controls Field Staus of GL Master Records. And for Creating AR and AP Master Records you create at OBD2 and Vendor at OBD3 which will also controls Field Status Group of And Number range of Master record. The only difference between GL and AR/AP is assigning of number range. For GL will specify at OBD4 itself but for AR/AP we need to create a number range at FBN1 then assign to AR And AP at OBD2 and OBD3 respectively.
One more thing. Remember only Field Status group of Master recard (OBD2, OBD3, OBD4) only contain Display option but not to Posting Key or Field Satus Group (OB41 or OBC4). I am so specifing becoz I commited this mistake in one interview.
In summary, the account group controls:
i) The number ranges of the accounts,
ii) The status of the fields in the company code segment of the master record. Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can be bundled into different "account groups ". Usually one account group bundles
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, e. g. cash accounts, material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss
accounts,...
