Difference between partner role & partner function

hi all
what is the differnce between partner role & partner function ?
Please elaborate with examples.
Kiran

Hi,
Partner function
Partner functions are terms that describe the people and organizations with whom you do business, and who are therefore involved in transactions. For example, when you create an activity, based on Customizing settings, it automatically includes the partner functions Activity Partner, Contact Person, and Person Responsible.
BP Roles
A business partner role is used to classify a business partner in business terms. The roles you assign to a business partner reflect the functions it has and the business transactions in which it is likely to be involved.

Difference Between Partner function & Business Role

1) What's the difference between Partner function & Business Role?
2) What is BP role grouping??

Hi Jayant,
Partner functions
Partner functions are terms that describe the people and organizations with whom you do business, and who are therefore involved in transactions. For example, when you create an activity, based on Customizing settings, it automatically includes the partner functions Activity Partner, Contact Person, and Person Responsible. Partner functions are always assigned to partner function categories, which are hard-coded in the system.
The system includes commonly used partner functions, but you can also define your own.
Business role
The business role is a role describing the user interface of SAP CRM and displays the CRM functions in the form of BSP applications in the CRM Web Client. The business role is assigned to the end-user.
Business Role is a crucial aspect in configuring the Web UI as required by an individual or a group of Users.
For Ex: In general an individual who works within Sales as an agent would be able to login as a Sales Professional and a manager of the same team would login with the business role Sales Manager.
This is beneficial as the sales manager would be able to view the entire performance of the team, sales reports and will have access to all opportunities which he can assign to individual agents etc. whereas a Sales agent will be able to view only opportunities assigned to him, his individual sales targets etc.
All this can be achieved within SAP CRM 7.0 Web UI by configuring the Business Role.

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.

Difference in partner functions in normal and consignment sales

hi,
What is the major difference in partner functions in normal sales and consignment sales Processing?
regards
prabudh

Dear Prabudh
I dont think there is a difference in normal sales and consignment sales, as for as Partner Functions are concerned. The impact will be on inventory where it will get reduced immediately once you make direct sales whereas it is NOT in consignment process.

Difference between partner order and partner oject?

hi all,
Can any one please explain the difference between partner order and partner object?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
S.Sumana.

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.

Mohan.
I think you understood if you need any other info. pls ask.

Difference between Stored Procedure & Stored Function

I want to know the difference between Procedure Procedure & Stored Function in compiler in oracle 10g.
Thanks in advance

I've been guilty of doing that myself but you can put a when others exception in a procedure also :-)
You can have an issue in forms triggers where it throws an exception for no known reason and the only way to throttle it is to have the everything exception. I think there is a bug in there that is exposed under some circumstances and everyone has run into it, that's my theory. You're definitely right that having the everything exception in the code leads to impossible to debug problems. I think we could use some error handling enhancements.
I'd like to see an all-purpose error function in forms. Instead of the customer having to program to catch all the various kinds of errors that can occur, plsql, database, forms, .... I'd like to be able to configure the form to have a built in error handling system show the error with an option to programatically handle the error unseen. The forms thing that it shows errors on the bottom of the screen does not work at all in my experience where we deploy forms. Windows by default has large icons and they cover up the error area. Even if you get the user to change the icons to small the users never see those messages. And they will not display errors in forms via the help menu either. (help,display error). I would like to be able to filter error messages, translate error messages with some kind of translation table (make user understandable), and have them pop up on the screen in a window.
I think some of the database functions that are "error-happy" should be provided in additional constructs. It is a design decision to have this throw an exception when the record doesn't exist:
select mycolumn into myfield from sometable where mykey = 'X';
I think many of us would prefer to have it simply not throw an exception if the record doesn't exist, so we don't have to remember what on earth the exception was called, and test the results of myfield and/or a status field.
How else to do this? How about this?:
minselect mycolumn into myfield, mystatus from sometable where mykey = 'X';
Here we define a new form of select called minselect that is reluctant to throw exceptions, but puts a status code in
the status field should someone have to know the difference of whether myfield was null in an existing record or if there was no qualifying record.
What's with the minselect? Well we would have a minselect and a maxselect that would find ONE qualifying record, the min or the max to get around that exception problem #2, select returning multiple values. (We would have the status reflect the fact there were multiple values.)

Difference between business blueprint and functional spec

hello
can somebody please tell me the difference between business blueprint and functional spec and how they are interrelated
Thanks

Hi Comandante,
Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client (The objects we need to develop are modified depending upon clients requirements).It represents the business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within SAP system.
Functional specifications (functional specs), in the end, are the blueprint for how you want a particular report and transaction to look and work. It details what the report will do, how a user will interact with it, and what it will look like. By creating a blueprint of the report or transaction first, time and productivity are saved during the development stage because the programmers can program instead of also working out the logic of the user-experience. It will also enable you to manage the expectations of your clients or management, as they will know exactly what to expect. Functional Spec streamlines the development process.
A functional specification is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. It guidelines and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code.
Other processes include Requirements, Objectives,Logic Specification,User documentation,The Final Product.
Hope this Helps, Revert for any further info.
Cheers,
Tanish

Difference between Generic and Generating functions

Hi,
Can any body explain me the difference between Generic and Generating functions? Do also let me kwno which Standard functions are Genereic and which are Generating/
Regards,
Pranshu

Hi Pranshu,
All functions (regardless of whether they are standard or user-defined functions) that do not have input values are refered to as Generating Functions (Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions). All other functions are generic.
So, the standard XI functions can be generic or generating.
Hope this helps

Relation between partner function & document type

Hi,
Is there any customization setting for vendor partner role & FI document type?
When I use the partner role PI(invoice presented by), MIRO document created against the vendor defined against the partner role 'PI'. However when I defined a new partner role 'XA' - copying from the partner role PI- MIRO document not created vendor against partner role 'XA'.
Your input should be highly appreciable.

Difference between essbase technical and functional consultant

Hi Essbase/Planning gurus, i am new to hyperion essbase/planning, please help me on below questions.
1) Difference between essbase technical consultant and functional consultant (Roles)
2) Difference between Hyperion planning technical consultant and functional consultant (Roles)
Thanks in advance,
Raraju.

Hello Raraju,
I will give it a try.
Essbase and Planning have technically a different concept of roles. I think, this was not your question about.
When looking at the job responsibilities of a technical consultant in Essbase then he/she will be responsible for the server. Take care that it is running performant, has sufficient resources etc.. The person will monitor log files for possible or upcoming problems. Further, the person will set-up connections to other data sources if needed. The person will know about the OS, Networks, Webservers and the technical side of Essbase/Planning.
The functional consultant will know the details of the application(s) and will maintain them for the users. He/she will create changes to the application and helps the users to use the product. The person will know about finance/controlling and the application side of Essbase/Planning.
Regards,
Philip Hulsebosch

Try to repeat this using a function group and I think you'll undestand because it'll be very hard to do it.
By only one function group how can u read the data of a certain vehicle?
Yes you can create in the function group an internal table where u store the data of every car: in this way u use the internal table like it was an instance, but you should consider here the example is very simple. Here we have only the speed as characteristic, but really we can have many complex characteristics.

Any difference between distinct and aggregate function in sql query cost???

Hi,
I have executed many sql stmts patterns- such as:
a) using a single table
b) using two tables, using simple joins or outer joins
but i have not noticed any difference in sql stmts in cost and in execution plan....
Anyway, my colleague insists on that using aggregate function is less costly compared to
distinct....(something i have not confirmed, that's why i beleive that they are exactly the same...)
For the above reffered 1st sql pattern.. we could for example use
select distinct deptno
from emp
select count(*), deptno
from emp
group by deptno select distinct owner, object_type from all_objects
select count(*), owner, object_type from all_objects
group by owner, object_typeHave you found any difference between the two ever...????
Note: I use Ora DB 10g v2.
Thank you,
Sim

distinct and aggregate function are for different uses and may give same result but if u r using aggregate function to get distinct records, it will be expensive...
ex
select distinct deptno from scott.dept;

Open SQL (difference between 2 dates) - DATEDIFF function

Hello Experts,
In my DB I created a TABLE with a column "GIORNO" that contains dates (in format 'yyyy-mm-dd'). I need to get the difference between the current day and the most recent date inserted into the table.
I'm using a Java DAO class to execute a query.
My problem is that the function DATEDIFF(a,b) explained in help.sap.com (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d2/f61996bb5e11d2a97100a0c9449261/content.htm) is not accepted by my portal..
I wrote a query that contains DATEDIFF( MAX(GIORNO) , ? ) where '?' is the current date..
And my system return to me the error message:
SQL syntax error: the token "(" was not expected here (referring to the dateDiff '(' )
In some forum I found that someone uses DATEDIFF(a,b, getdate()) but it still does not work.....
Any suggestion??
Best Regards

Hi Andy,
thanks for your fast answer..
SYSDATE does not work because is an Oracle SQL function..
Anyway I think that the problem is the DATEDIFF function that is not recognised (infact the error message says that it does not expect the '('...
I show to you the error message using DATEDIFF(MAX(GIORNO), SYSDATE) :
