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.

Hi Sreenivas,
Partner determination use
In this activity, you define the rules that should be used to perform automatic partner determination.
1. Define the partner functions that differentiate the roles of
     partners in your system.
2. Define the partner determination procedure, and assign the key of the relevant partner object to this Procedure.
3. Assign the partner functions you define to the account groups.
Output Determination Purpose
The Output Determination component offers output functions for sales, shipping, transportation, and billing to help you manage sales transactions with your customers and within your company. You can create sales activity output (for example, customer telephone calls, mailing campaigns) and group output (for example, freight lists). Your company employees can send and receive output. Output is directly linked to the corresponding sales transaction (for example, the system automatically sends an order confirmation via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as soon as the employee
Texts Purpose in Sales and Distribution
In a business relationship, it is essential that business partners exchange information throughout the logistics chain. In sales and distribution, this exchange of information is supported by texts in master records and documents. You can maintain these texts for one particular customer or define them so that they can be used more flexibly.
Texts can be used in many areas of sales and distribution:
Sales notes for customers
Sales texts for materials
Explanations in order confirmations
Shipping instructions in deliveries
You can define as many text types as you require (sales texts, shipping texts, internal notes, supplement texts etc.) for master records and documents.
You can take the settings for the texts from Sales and Distribution Customizing under Text control.
Delivery split
Regarding Delivery split you can control through copy control routines in the VTLA transaction.
I hope it will help you,

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.

Territory and partner determination procedure for employee responsible

Hi CRM team,
I have a little issue for you I'll be very thankfull if someone could help me.
There is the organisation of the territory management in the company I'm working for:
-Country
-Region
-sector
*each sector have a determination rule based on 1 condition "1 field from the BP Header (customer)"
*each sector have a position assigned to it. (Organisational model PPOMA_CRM) And there is 1 or 2 employee affected to each position..
*When creating an activity,*
*First thing I enter the Account (customer: activity partner)*
*I would like the system to determine the employee affected to the sector of the BP as the employee responsible.*
Any Idea?
For the moment, I'm searching in the partner determination procedure. But the standard access sequence Business Partner Relationships: Activity Partner -> User dont work.
There is some sitting from my IMG:
The partner fonction Employee Responsible is with
*fonction category: employee
*usage: CRM
*Relationship category: Is the employee responsible for
Partner determination procedure:
In the acces sequence, I put a dialogue seq 15 :
Business partner from territory
And in the detail on source, I put:
Fonct. categ. : Employee
Usage: CRM
It dosn't work...
I don't know if I'm am searching in the right place.
Could you help me with a solution to have the needed system behavior????
Thanks a lot for your time and your help.
Best regards,
Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
After created determination rules for territories have executed the report CRM_TERRMAN_PROC_REL for initial option?
Once territories and determination rules are created, you need to run the above report in Background(schedule a batch job) which will establish relationships between the territories and corresponding attributes. You need to run this report every time there is a change in determination rule of create/change territories.
This should resolve your problem

Priyanka

Error in CHARM_CREATE when using a Z partner determination procedure

Hi,
I use SDCR and needed to create a new partner determination procedure ZDCR0001. I don't need to change anything else in this Change Request transaction type, so everything else is standard. When I run CHARM_CREATE now, the program is using the partner determination procedure instead of the text determination procedure SDCR0001 in order to get the text ids, and then I have an error: Text determination procedure ZDCR0001 does not exist.
I noticed that there is a problem in the standard code of CHARM_CREATE:
*& Module get_data_0101 OUTPUT
 Retrieve the Data to get different text types *

This function module is for getting texts, but uses the partner procedure. I created a message and sent to SAP, but they say they don't have this error there. Has any of you had the same problem? I could not find any note to correct this code. I have SP 17 for ST.
Thanks,
Raquel.

CRM 7.0 in partner determination procedure

Dear all,
In CRM 7.0 in partner determination procedure for an ITEM level am unable to set up procedure so that any partner will always be just mirror of the partner set on HEADER level.
This functionality works only when the new order is created, then when changing the partner on HEADER level the partner on ITEM level partner is dynamically changed a according to HEADER.
When changing the order later u2013 HEADER partner is changed, but the ITEM partner stays the same and had to be changed manually. If an ITEM partner is not changed manually an error is raised while transferring to ERP (because of customizing settings there). Partner determination procedure in customizing is set for ITEM to display all the partners defined in CRM (no only for defined in the particular procedure). I would basically need the ITEM partners to be always the same as HEADER partners no matter what operations are done in the HEADER is must be 1:1 with ITEM (automatically copied when creating/changing).
I know that we can use ABAP development, but if possible I would like to use just customizing tools.
Many thanks for your comments

Hello Guys,
thanks for your reply. The issue was that the system was copying the partners from header to item even if in customizing I had set up the item det. procedure so only basic partners like SP or Bill to shall be present. In our scenario the user has to change header partners from time to time. Before upgrade (version 4.0) if the user changed the partner header and this partner was also at item level the system changed this also so header partners were equal to item partners. After upgrade this functionality disappeared (I have checked user exits and did not find any cutomer dev.)
At current CRM 7.0 if the header partner is changed item partners stays the same. And this can causing the troubles in R/3 due to settings of partner determination. To make it shorter. If you need to change the BDoc after it has been created by CRM use class if_ex_crm_dataexchg_badi~crm_dataexch_after_mbdoc_fill.

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.
