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,
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.

Account group assignment in Webclient UI

Hello,
I want to assign an account group to an existing corporate account for R/3 integration.
In SAP GUI I can do this in transaction BP on the Classification tab (BUPA_CRMD02-ACCOUNT_GROUP).
I'm not able to find the corresponding field in the Webclient UI. Can you please tell me the
Component and View for this?
Kind regards,
Johan Wigert

Hello Johann,
please take care of the following additional information:
When creating an account with the proper roles, e.g. sold-to-party,
in the CRM Webclient UI there should be automatically a classification
be maintained in the background for this partner.
When this partner with this classification reaches the ERP system the
settings in transaction PIDE are automatically mapping the
classification to the account groups you maintained there.
The account group field in CRM itself is only there if you want to
manually overrule this determination set up in transaction PIDE on
ERP side. This is not a often used scenario, so the respective field
was not put on the SAP delivery configuration for accounts in the new
UI.
However you can easily add it yourself in the view configurations,
e.g. in view BP_HEAD/AccountDetails it can be found under the name
'Account group', technical name '//MARKETING/STRUCT.ACCOUNT_GROUP'.
During the time of download of the customer master record in the trx.
PIDE the determination of the classification takes place. In case the
classification is 'B' (customer) then the role is defaulted to
CRM000(sold-to-party). In case you want to create the BPs in different
role then you may follow the instructions in the note 914437.

Account group and Business partner link

Hi all,
Is there any relation maintained for Account group (From R/3) and Business Partner Role in GTS system?

Hi Balu,
In GTS, system does not consider the Account group while creating a BP role for a BP whereas it only considers the classification of Vendors or Customers. If a Customer master is created in R/3 irrespective of Account Group, BP role SLLCPC will be assigned whereas if a Vendor is created in R/3, then BP role SLLCPS will be assigned.
Hope this answers the query.

Characterstics group in a partner determination procedure

Hi
How do I define characteristics group in a partner detrmination procedure?
Thanks
Tarang

Hi Tarang,
Charateristic groups are created in SPRO, the path is as mentioned below:
CRM->Basic Functions  Partner Processing  Partner Teams  Create Characteristics Groups and Ratings
Here you create characteristics group, maintain characteristics for this group and maintain characteristic values.
And these groups are assigned to the partner functions in the partner determination procedure.
They can be seen in the Buying centre tab in opportunity transaction.
In the buying center, select the partner and select u2018Maintain attributesu2019.

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.

Question about partner determination for customer master

Hi, experts,
I have already read the documentation about this topic at forum. Still I have the following question:
why should we assign the partner function to the account group? According to my understanding, the partner function has to be assigned to partner determination procedure and then through partner determination it is associated with the account group. If the partner can be assigned to account group directly, why do we still need determination procedure?
Best regards,
Fan

Hi
Let us consider an existing Partner Determination procedure in standard SAP.
The Partner Determination Procedure (e.g, ABCD) can contain multiple "Partner Functions". Suppose there are 100 numbers of Partner Functions in the Procedure.
We assign "Partner determination Procedure" to the "Account Group", so that , the assigned Procedure will be applicable for the Customer master data created under that Account group.
Suppose, Partner determination Procedure "ABCD" has been assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
Now, any Customer created under Account Group "XYZ", the Procedure "ABCD" will be applicable for them. Right?
We have already discussed , the Procedure "ABCD" contains 100 different "Partner Functions".
Out of these 100 Partner Functions, only those Partner Functions, which are permitted by the Account Group "XYZ" , they can only be entered in the Sales area data > Partner Function tab of the Customer master data.
Suppose, only 6 Partner functions (out of 100 no) are assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
So these 6 Partner Functions are permitted by the said Account Group "XYZ" and these 6 Partner Functions can only be entered in the Customer master data.
So, to summerise it, if you want to enter a Partner Function in the Customer master, then
- First, that Partner Function must be available in the Procedure which applicable, and
- Second, that Partner Function also must have been permitted (assigned) by the Account Group .
I hope, it is clarified.

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

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.

Ravi

Partner determination procedure assignment not possible

Hi All,
1) I had created the partner determination procedure
2) Created partner function in procedure
But while doing partner detremination procedure assignment i am unable to that and not able to create the new group customer account group, while doing so getting the message "This function is not possible"
Please guide me how i to proceed further with this setting.

1. Set up partner determination procedure.
The first checkbox is to make the partner u201CNot Modifiable,u201D that is, once it is in the
customer master record it cannot be changed. Generally, this is only used for the Sold-to
Party.
The second checkbox is to make the partner function mandatory, that is, the partner
must be determined or manually entered in the customer master record.
2. Assign Partner functions to the partner determination procedure
3. Assign the Partner determination procedure to the customer account group.
4. Assign individual partner functions to the account group

Sandeep

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

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

Assign partner determination procedure to Item Category/Sales document type

Hello All,
How can I assign a partner determination procedure to an item category or sales document type? That field is disabled in item category config step. Please suggest.
Thanks,
lavanya

HI Lavanya,
The partner determination will happen through a different way and not through item category definition.
The path would be
S&D->MAster Data->Bussiness partners->customers->Customer hierarchy->set partner determination for hirearchy categories.
In this you will have one option to define by item category.
Hope this helps.
