Hi,
  In Standard Vendor will be created through XK01 transaction where we have to give Company Code, Purchasing Organization and Account group.
But a new if a new partner function need to add in the partner function needs to follow the below steps.
Go to partner determination by VOPA
OR
IMG  SD  Basic function  Set up partner functions  set up partner function for sales document header
1) Click on partner function and Maintain partner function ZV (Which I created) and back
2) Then select your existing partner determination procedure (Standard is TA) and click on PARTNER FUNCTIONS IN PROCEDURE and add partner function. And make it mandatory so even user forget to mention then at the time of saving system can remind user.
3) Then double click on PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE ASSIGNMENT
4) Assign partner procedure to sales document
Now when you creating sales order go to header partner tab and enter you institute partner number
For sales order and invoice report Execute this report by selecting partner function ZV in VA05N and VF05 respectively.
