Difference betwen "Sale Representative" & "Employee Responsible"

Hi,
What is the difference between "sales representative" partner function 00000012 & "employee responsible" partner function 00000014 ?
How is this used in a business context? does it not tend to behave as duplicate if we have just one sales team member (or employee) who is handling a customer?
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks
Kumar
PS: points will be awarded for helpful answers.

Sales Representative: A person who is representing & responsible specifically for sales activity like your Sales Executive.
Employee Responsible: A Person who can be responsible for any activity like transaction processing, service representative etc., it can also be a sales representative.
In a business context like "Regional Manager", generally responsible for all activities for a region like sales, service, in this scenario he will be used as Employee responsible in transactions.
Hope this will help you.

Automatic determination for Sales personnel / Employee responsible in sales

Hi Gurus,
Help me out in automatic determination for Sales personnel / Employee responsible in sales order. I have tried in Partner determination, it is not working.
Regards,
sushil

There can be few options:
Option 1: In the customer master partner determination, add the Sales Person and Employee responsible partner functions and mark them as mandatory. In the Sales Order Header Partner Determination, add the same and mark them Mandatory. Then during order processing, the relevant Sales Person and Employee responsible will flow in the order header partners
Option 2: Mainatin a Z table based on Sales Area / any other specific parameter / Sales Person & employee responsible. You can improvise the table parameters as per your business needs and requirements.Then in the order user exit MV45AFZB in form_userexit_move_field_to_VBAK you can read this z table and get the sales person and employee responsible. May be you can add these two fields in Order Header- Additioanl Data B tab and populate them thru this program.
Hope this helps

Difference between Sales employee and Employee responsible

Hi,
Can somebody explain the difference between sales employee and employee responsible
Thanks in advance
Reddy

hello, friend.
both sales employee and employee responsible have employee numbers and fall under partner type "PE".
an Employee Responsible is a more general term and could refer to someone who is supposed to maintain documents, who may be dedicated to service a customer or a set of customers, a credit employee or a quasi-manager. he can even be a sales employee.
a sales employee or sales personnel is more specific. usually this refers to the salesman who has a defined set of customer accounts. the sales employee is also specifically tracked in Sales Info System (e.g. t-code MCTI). this position carries the SAP standard code/partner function of "VE" (in German).
hope this helped you.
regards.

<b>Hi,
User has been created as an employee in HR with a personnel number.
Partner determination has Employee Responsible as a Mandatory function in Customer Master and Sales Document.
How to link the User who creates a Customer/Sales Document to the Employee Responsible?</b>

what is the need of linking the guy who is going to enter the sales order and the employee who is responsible for sales(in partner function).
If your requirement is that the same guy creates the order, then you need to create the roles and a security profile accordingly.

Partner determination based on Employee Responsible for Sale Office

Hi,
In our Project We triggering work flow from lead to sales manager. The Sales Manager is assigned to sales office. We used access sequence CH08 to determine the sales manager in Partner determination but the work flow is triggered to Employee responsible for Sales Group.
The access determines the Employee responsible for org unit and sales group is selected as org unit in lead document. So the employee below the sales Group is selected in sales manager in Partner determination.
Can any one suggest how to select employee from Sales Office in Partner determination.

How to avoid the "Enter Employee Responsible" error in an Opportunity

Hi CRM gurus,
My employer wants me to create a custom Lead Type (and an Opportunity Type) which will look just like the SAP default Lead (and Opportunity Type respectively), except that he wants a custom Partner Function called "Sales Person" instead of the two default Partner Functions "Sales Representative" and "Employee Responsible".
So, I made a copy of the PF "Employee Responsible" and named it as "Sales Person". I made a copy of the Partner Determination Procedure for both Lead and Opportunity Transactions. Deleted the PFs "Sales Representative" and "Employee Responsible", and added the PF "Sales Person". I made a copy of the Lead and Opportunity Transaction Types, and assigned the appropriate PF Determination Procedures. I got the Access Sequence and the Partner Determination Procedure right (checked it by clicking the button "Check Part. Determ. Proc"). I did all the miscelleneous minor changes that need to be done.
Now, when I create a Lead, and then create an Opportunity as a follow up document, and add a Product to this and try saving the Opportunity, I get an error message saying "Enter Employee Responsible".
It seems that the PF "Employee Responsible" is a required field in the SAP default Opportunity, but how can I avoid that in my custom Opportunity?
Even if we try to avoid this PF now, does it have any repercussions in the follow-up documents that get generated from this transaction (like Sales Quotation, Sales Order etc) or in any other way. How important is the PF "Employee Responsible", or better, what's the significance of this PF in the Opportunity transaction?
I'll appreciate any thoughts from you. I will instantly award max points for the correct answer
Thanks,

Kai,
Thanks for your response. I have mailed you the screen-shots of my configurations. I did not know how to pass this info via SDN, hence I mailed it directly to your e-mail ID in your profile. I am sorry if that's not the right way to approach for help.
>>If you maintain an additional employee responsible, does it work then?
I have set the configuration "Only Functions Assigned to procedure" for the Permitted Functions in the Partner Determination Procedure. Hence, I do not have an additional "Employee Responsible" Partner Function in my list. This is to not permit the end-user to use other Partner Functions besides the mentioned here. The client wants to make this as simple as possible without giving too many options to the end-user (sales folks).
However, I will temporarily set this field to "All defined Partner Functions" and, enter a BP for Employee Responsible and let ytou know what I see.
Thanks a zillion for your help.
Thanks and regards,
-Prashanth

Transfer of Employee responsible from CRM to ERP

Hello,
I've replicated employees from ERP to CRM. I create a new corporate account in CRM. I assign an Employee Responsible. On the relationship, I assign a sales area and the partner function Sales Representative. I also maintain other sales area data like payment terms. I transfer the account from CRM to ERP. The Sales Representative is not transferred to the partner function PE in the customer master in ERP. Why not?
I have done the following IMG-settings:
IMG: Customer Relationship Management => Basic Functions => Partner Processing => Data Transfer => Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
Partner function ERP    Partner function CRM
VE (PE)                 00000014 Employee Responsible (CRM)
IMG: Customer Relationship Management => Basic Functions => Partner Processing => Data Transfer => Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Partner function CRM    Partner function ERP    Type ERP
00000014                VE                      PE
When I at a later stage edit the customer in VD02 in ERP, I add partner function VE manually.
When I then open the account in CRM, the sales representative added in ERP appears with the relationship "Has the Responsible Business Partner", CRMH06. I would have expected it to be "Has the Employee Responsible".
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Johan Wigert

Responsible Organisation determination by Employee Responsible

Hi Experts,
In our scenario the sales representative is assigned via the relationship to the business partner. When creating an activity or opportunity the responsible organizational unit should be determined from the partner function employee responsible in the transaction (which get determined from the BP relationship). Does anyone know how to achieve this.
There is a rule available to the determine organizational unit from the user logged in but no specific rule for scenario described above. The challenge thus is to modify the input of the container for this new rule so it gets populated with the BP of the employee responsible instead with the BP of the user .
Detailed:
Master Data
Customer Y has Sales Manager Y
Transaction
Customer Y
Employee Responsible: Y
=> Determine responsible organizational unit from employee responsible Y.
Best Regards,
Erik

Hi Oliver,
Also for Organisation determination some steps are required.
1. Creat organisation model with division and distribution channel, sales org and sales office
2. In BP (org) for sold to party or Sales prospect enter the required data in sales area data tab. with division and distribution channel.
3. Go to SPRO >IMG>CRM>Master data>Organisation>org determination>define rule
ther u have to specify the structure of org model. And most important is Attribute set it as per your requirment.(e.g.partner no)
4. Go to SPRO >IMG>CRM>Master data>Organisation>org determination>define responsibilty
5.creat org data profile e.g. ( z_orgpro_oppt)
6. Add this profile in transaction type.in Go to SPRO >IMG>CRM>Transaction>Basic settinf Define transaction type
7. Add the Partner determination profile having Emp responsible with unique Access sequence ( it would be " data from org" )
8.In Easy Access open the same transaction (e.g. opportunity)
9. putt BP No in sold to party
As u enter the BP No in which u have enter the sales area data it will generate the Pop Up regarding Orgnisation , select one whatever is required
again it will display another PopUp i.e combination of Sales org + division+distribution channel.
select one
Now It will generate PopUp of Emp responsibble select one who is actually responsible.
Result:--
It will automatically populate the data in basic data tab and in organisation tab.

Account group for sales representative

Hi experts,
Is there any account group for sales representative in standard SAP?
Unlike customer do we need to create sales representative without account group?
If I want to use partner function sales representative, what is the process?
Thanks in advance
Shiv

Hi,
There is no account group for the sales representative in standard SAP. Instead u can use " employee responsible(ER)" partner function as a Sales Representative.
the same process u can opt. But here in partner determination u need to use for Sales Document Header . which is 2nd one in partner determination Procedure. u can see that but i think already exist in that procedure make it mandatory so that when ever the Sales Document of that type is raised then the system will ask u " employee responsible" person. ex: if u want to make for Standard Sales Order then u take the "TA" Partner Determination Procedure. and make as mandatory field for the partner function (ER).
the above said is one way and the another way is to take one partner function(sh,bp,py,etc) and copy it and put as "Sales Representative" and assign it to the partner determination procedure for the Customer and create the sales representative and assign it to the customer master . this way also u can work out..
I think these are sufficient to solve ur issue..
if u want other than this let me know..
Reward if Helpful..

Sales Representative # not assigned

Dear All.
i created a query based on SAP best practices for Sales Analysis, when i try to create a query to see the Sales by Sales Employee or when i try to drill down in existing query by Sales Representative it gives me # Not Assigned.
please help and let me know where to assign.
kind regards,

Hi,
Check if Sales Representative is a characteristic in the underlying info provider(cube or DSO).If so check if has data and whether has a mapping in the transformation.
Or else see if it a navigational attribute...if so, see if the master data for the info object, for which it is an attribute, is loaded.
Also activate master data for that info object.
Hope it helps.

Action container element of employee responsible

Hi experts,
We are using action in order to send mails, now it is working fine, the triggers is the status of our complaint.
But a new requirement is to use employee responsible as a trigger, so for instance our complaint has user X as an employee responsible and the we change the employee responsible to Y, then a mail should be sent.
So we need a container element that represents the employee responsible field, and we can not find it in the condition editor.
We need that container element so we can make the following expression:
Employee responsible = Y then we use a condition to send the mail.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Luis,
Verify that you are using BUS2000120 as the object for this action. In the standard definition there is a BOR Object type called Person responsible under the CRM Complaint Object. You may have to open the hierarchy for this. This field can be used to satisfy your requirements. Otherwise a parameter can be created where the BUPA table is taken as an object of type ABAP class. You can choose the BP number or name of the employee responsible as your condition.
