Bapi_po_create1 - partner function and partner number problem

hello.
let me just first state that on ecc5 this problem doesn't exist.
we are in the middle of an ECC6 upgrade right now and i have a problem creating a PO through the BAPI on the ECC6 upgrade system, needless to say that all customization was copied from ECC5.
when trying to create the order i get an error MSG ME 350, "please enter partner number" .
i didn't get the error in ECC5. customization hasn't changed in ECC6. I've checked Ecc6 customization on MM->purchasing->partner determination. entering a partner function isn't mandatory and we've never entered a partner function before in the PO header besides the vendor number.
please help.
thanks,
Oren.

hello.
the note suggested doesn't help my case.
can someone please suggest a different solution?
maybe in ECC6 the partner function is set by default to some value? and therefore expects a partner function?
thanks,
Oren.

  • Passing Partner function and Partner number in Action container editor

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement to create a follow up transaction with different business units as partner functions depending on some logic. I tried defining one action using copy_document method and was able to pass the container values of partner function (CRMT_PARTNER_FCT) and partner number (CRMT_PARTNER_NO) along with transaction type (process_type). However, still the follow up transaction does not contain the relevant partner function and value.
    Please let me know is there a way I can default differnt partner function and partner number while creating a transaction based on my actions.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Thanks maggie, I know couple of options using code like the one you mentioned in copy badi. There is another BADI only for partner function. I can activate it in the access sequence and can do my code over there. However, in actions (copy_document specifically) we can pass parameter like transaction type, activity category etc. SAP standard implementation automatically takes those parameter into consideration and create subsequent transaction with right transaction type and activity category. On similar basis I have also tried sending partner function and partner number without any success. So I thought of raising this and need all CRM experts advice on it.

  • What is the difference between partner function and partner type

    Hi Gurus,
    What is the difference between partner function and partner type?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi John,
    The partner types allow us to distinguish between different business partners such as customer, vendor, employee etc and the partner functions represent the functionality or role each partner plays within the business transaction.
    For example under the partner type Customer, you will find - Sold to party, Ship to party, Bill to party, Payer.
    The business partners that exist in the market place are represented with a partner type in the R/3 system. Examples of business partners are customer, vendor, employee and contact person.
    The following partner types are defined in the partner processing for the sales & distribution module –
    a.     AP – contact person (06)
    b.     KU – customer (07)
    c.     LI – vendor (08)
    d.     PE – employee/personnel (09)
    Assigning the partner functions in the SAP system determines the functions of particular partner in the sales process. One partner may take on several functions also.

  • Partner Function as Personnel Number

    Hi All,
    I need to use the same functionality as of Business Partners tab of VA03 in my custom transaction.
    When the Partner function is customer , then using the partner number we can navigate to KNA1 and can fetch customer name, address number.
    in the same way, if partner function is vendor , we can use LFA1 to find out name and addr number.
    If the partner function is Personnel number , which table can be used to find out the detials like name of the personnel number and address number.
    Is there any table for this or any procedure? Please let me know.
    thanks,

  • Proposal of partner function and related master record in sales order

    Hi Gurus,
    As we know, a partner determination procedure is used to propose partner functions and the master data tied to them in the sales order.
    I need to confirm the following if understanding is correct:
    1. 1st a customer master record is entered with all the partner functions, say, SP SH PY BP and 9E (PE partner type).
    The respective master record values like who is the SP SH PY BP and 9E are specified in the partner function tab also.
    This customer master is assigned to a account group.
    2. a Partner determination procedure is created and the same partner functions assigned to it.
    Next, this procedure is assigned to the account group.
    3. When I create an order for this customer, the sales order's partner function tab should automatically be populated with the partner functions and the respective master data value as defined in the customer master record.
    Questions:
    1. What if the partner determination procedure was not defined with 9E Partner function but the customer master record is?
    2. What if the customer master record was not defined with 9E but the partner procedure is?
    3. Why the partner procedure need to define the partner functions if its assigned to account group to which the customer master is assigned to already?
    4. If the partner function 9E is not proposed in the sales order, can user manually enter this partner function and the respective master record value in the sales order partner function tab?
    Have a great day!
    regards
    M Russo

    Hi,
    1. What if the partner determination procedure was not defined with 9E Partner function but the customer master record is?
    If the partner determination procedure is not defiend you can not maintain same in customer master the system will through you error message PE is missing.
    2. What if the customer master record was not defined with 9E but the partner procedure is?
    It depends how you want propose the same,
    According the function it behaves, you can make this field is mandatory if you want the same is to customer master
    3. Why the partner procedure need to define the partner functions if its assigned to account group to which the customer master is assigned to already?
    normally the standard partner procedure follows as it is SP SH BL PY Still if you want add some other partners(agent,employee,contact person...etc.) you can define the same in the procedure.
    4. If the partner function 9E is not proposed in the sales order, can user manually enter this partner function and the respective master record value in the sales order partner function tab?
    As you can refer the second point if you set as optional you can enter the same in customer master partner function tab.
    Hope this can helps,
    Thanks and Best Regards,

    Hi Kumar,
    coming to customization in between SO(Rush order) and OR(Standard order).
    Go to VOV8 T.Code.
    The Rush order has the details as "Under Shipping tab",
    There will be "X" mark in the immediate delivery .
    the Rush order will be having the order related billing.
    But the Standard order can be either Order related or Delivery related.
    In Standard order after creating the order we are going to create the order we are going to create the delivery by using "VL01n" T.Code.After that we are going to create the billing by using "VF01" T.Code.

  • Use of partner function && and $1 in PO output determination

    Hi,
    I have setup a message type for sending PO's to vendor by email.
    I use medium '5 - external send' in the output message record.
    During PO output, the system takes the email address of the PO wich is defaulted from vendor master record.
    Now our end users want to send the PO's first to their email address instead of directly to the vendor.
    I thougth to achieve this via partner function && or $1 (created by). I thougth the system will take the email address of the userID that created the PO and send the PO to him.
    But unfortunately it does not work. When I specify the partner function, system complains that the partner does not exist and no email is generated.
    Can somebody help me ?
    Thanks a lot !!

    Hi,

  • How to find master data info objects. Partner function and customer class.

    hi,
    Can you please tell me what are the available extractors for Partner Function (PARVW from VBPA)and Customer Class (KUKLA from KNA1).
    I hope these fields are master data. I checked in 0customer. But I didn't find it. There is a info object (Business partner). Is it the same?
    pls reply

    I will admit that I am not familiar with ECC and there may be different interpretations of what KUKLA means and different means of extracting Customer information to/from ECC.
    However, for us, when extracting Customer Attributes using the 0CUSTOMER_ATTR datasource in R/3, we map KUKLA to 0CUST_CLASS.  They are both set up as 2 CHAR.  That is not to say that you should also.  You can map it to a custom infoobject in BW as long as you set it up as an attribute of 0CUSTOMER.  KUKLA is available in the standard datasource 0CUSTOMER_ATTR in R/3.  When looking at what is available in the infosource for 0CUSTOMER in BW, 0CUST_CLASS is a logical choice to map.
    As far as VBPA-PARVW, VBPA is not a source for master data for 0BPARTNER.  VBPA contains the business partners associated with Sales documents.  So if you are going to create a data provider (cube/ODS) in BW and VBPA-PARVW is part of the transactional datasource in R/3, the you can map it to 0BPARTNER in your cube/ODS.
    Hope this helps.

  • Partner profile and partner number in output of order/invoice.

    Hello Experts,
    I want to know how system pick partner profile from output type triggered in sales order/invoice??
    I could see partner profile is different from partner number exist in output triggered in sales order/invoice.
    I want to know the triggering point of idoc from SO/invoice.
    Thanks

    The phrase "ouptut goes to partner" indicates that the partner will be recipient of the output type.  E.g., ship-to partner will be the recipient of the delivery and the delivery note.
    The use of an output partner in the output condition record is used to control the output device used in the output determination - a completely separate issue.
    Unless you are (e.g.) using different printers for outputs which will be sent to different partners, you would likely be better off using a more generic access for your output condition records.
