Hi,
The path is:
SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Basic functions>Partner determination>Set up partner determination-->Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
Click on account groups-Function assignment.Here you can maintain new one.
Check that partner function exists or not.This you can do in:
SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Basic functions>Partner determination>Set up partner determination>Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master>Partner functions.
If that does not exists then define new one and assign it to your account group.
Use the same name that is there in Partner function.Don't use the Conversion name.
Regards,
Krishna.

Account Group and Partner Function

Hello All,
Can any one tell me how can i assign particular Account group to all partner functions.
Thanks
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.

Ship to party is not available in account group while creating Customer Master

Hello All.
While creating customer master in account group there is no SH(ship to party) what is the purpose of it . I can see PY BP but not SH (XD01). We always use Sold to Party but i have seen Payer and Bill to party as well while creating customer master . Just got confused why we select such options when everything comes under sold to party.
I cannot see SH while creating customer for the first time is it necessary that SH should there while creating customer master.
Regards

Hi ,,
please do assign ship to party to account group .
SPRO --> S&D --> BASIC FUNCTION --> PARTNER DETERMINATION--> SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION --> FOR CUSTOMER MASTER -- > A/C GROUP - FUNCTION ASSIGNMENT
Here assign ship to party(sh) to your account group.
Now you will find sh in customer master.
If you want further clarification , please let me know.

Account group-Pa

Dear Friends,
Can any1 explain why theres an assignment between account grp and partner fn when the procedure is already assigned to account grp,i.e.in the procedure I grouped my partner fns so when I assign the procedure to the account grp the partner fn in procedure assigned indirectly to the account grp....so whta the purpose of assigning partner fn to the account grp exclusively?......Thanks in advance

Hi,
But for you once again in this thread
It is because until you assign the Partner function with the account group, the system fails to identify the role of the account group. i.e. when you enter the Customer Code in the field Sold-to-Party in a Sales document, the system will accept the code only if the account group is assigned to SP else the system will throw an error " the customer code XXX is not a Sold-to-Party" though the account group may be of the Sold-to-Party.

Use of Different Account Groups?

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me what is the use of making different Accounts groups?
If we make different account groups, what will be the impact in balance sheet?
Please revert asap.
Thank YOu

Hi Gverma,
You can define any number of hierarchical structures of accounts for use in the information system, allocations and planning. These structures are called "account groups". You can create new account groups as well as display or change existing ones. If you want to use the same account groups in Profit Center Accounting that you have already created in Cost Center Accounting, you can copy them to Profit Center Accounting. The same goes for balance sheet account groups that you already created in Financial Accounting.
Each account group is assigned to a chart of accounts. You can only use an account group in multiple controlling areas if those controlling areas use the same chart of accounts.
please also check the following links:

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.

1. Partner Determination
SP, SH, BP, Payer are key to document processing. Automatic partner determination happens in the sales document, delivery and billing documents, sales activities, and the customer master record.
IMG  SD  Basic fncs  Partner fncs, define partner fncs [VOPA]
Each partner function can be assigned a partner type. This partner type specifies whether the partner is a customer, contact person, or vendor.

Partner function assingment to Account group

hi,
Can anyone explain on the relationship between Account group with Partner function ( whether is it One to one or one to many?)
please explain any business case to explain the Partner Determination?
thanks
Bala

Hi,
One to Many
One account group have many partner functions (Account group - Sold to have many partners SP,SH,BP,PY)
Business case - As it is totally depends on requirement
Example - If sold to party performing role of SH,BP,PY then for customer master you can determine this partner functions
lf your sold to, ship to, bill to, payer are diffrent the you can crete diffrent acciunt groups and create master then assign in sold to part master
Example - Sold to party, bill to & payer is 1234 But ship to ABCD
If you have sales employe and that don't have speciefic to customer then you determine this partner function for sales document header and maintain at time of sales processing

Parnter Function - Account Groups

Question - What configuration limits which account groups that can be used with a partner function on SD documents?
I have configured a new partner function to use on an inbound delivery document. The assignment is working fine but I'd also like to limit the entry to only be valid for a specific vendor account group. This should be standard SAP and the error received when someone enters a different account group is "Partner from account group XXXX not permitted for partner function XX".
Defining Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group sets the limitation on the Customer partnership but not the SD document.
I can not find the configuration point for this limitation. Can anyone point me to it?
Thanks in advance
David

Hi
This can be configured in the Partner Determination Procedure. Here we specify the partner functions allowed to this account group and then we assign this account group to the partner determination procedure. Unless it is not specified in the procedure, the partner function is allowed for this account group.
Thanks,
Ravi

Accounts group assignment in partner determination

Hi SAP experts...
In our scenario our clients customer has different partners like sold to party, ship to party, bill to parpty and payer. so as to configure in partner determination procedure shall we need to go for different account groups for each partner??. What happen if we choose one account group?. Account group has number range assignment, if we go for different account groups then diff.number ranges will be there for each partner of the customer...right...
Can any one clarify and tell the procedure if we go for different account groups.
Points assured for helpful answer.
Sunanda.P

Sunanda,
In VOPA transaction code, you create a partner determination procedure. Here you specify the partner functions to be used & also mark the mandatory partner functions.
This partner determination procedure is then assigned to the account group. Basically the standard account group for "sold to party - 0001" has all partner functions "SP", "SH", "BP" & "PY". Your requirement demands separate partne functions for SP, SH, BP & PY.
So you will have to create 4 different partner determination procedures in VOPA.
ZSOL - SP
ZSHI - SH
ZBIL - BP
ZPAY - PY
Create similar acount groups ZSOL, ZSHI, ZBIL & ZPAY in transaction code OBD2 & do the appropriate field selection for them.
Now assign the partner determination procedures to the account groups in VOPA.
ZSOL = ZSOL
ZSHI = ZSHI
ZBIL = ZBIL
ZPAY = ZPAY
Also assign the individual partner functions as mentioned below:
ZSOL = SP, SH, BP, PY
ZSHI = SH
ZBIL = BP
ZPAY = PY
For ZSOL we assigned all partner functions because, when you will create a sold to party customer, you also have to specify who will the ship to party, bill to party & payer customers for the sold to party.
Now if you want you can assign the same number range to all account groups (assign a single person to create the customer master. So whenever a new customer is created, the partners will be created in line which will be very helpful)
Assume the number range is "0000010000 to 0000099999"
Create SP for 10000
Create SH for 10001
Create BP for 10002
Create PY for 10003
Go to XD02 - select the customer 10000 - go to sales area data - partner functions.
Here in the "PF" column enter SH & in number enter 10001
Here in the "PF" column enter BP & in number enter 10002
Here in the "PF" column enter PY & in number enter 10003
So you have assigned the relevant partners to the sold to party.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
With best regards,
Allabaqsh G. Patil.

Vendor account group assign to Reconciliation account

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to customize a reconciliation account assignment to vendor account group?
Our requirement is when you create a vendor, then select a vendor account group, the reconciliation account will automatically be proposed in the field. This is to avoid selecting wrong reconciliation account when creating a vendor.
I had a look in SPRO but I couldn't find anything that could do that.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Catherine

Thanks for your inputs,
I have checked in the system if there is a user_exit. Could you please confirm me that the user_exit "GLPLAN00 - Enhanced authorization and master data validation" is the good one?
My objective is to have the correct reconciliation account automatically populated when I am creating a customer/vendor with a specific account group.
e.g. select account group - XXXX Non-trade customer / Reconciliation acct XXXXXX non trade customer automatically populated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Catherine
