Different partner functions

Hi All,
Can we have different mandatory partner functions like SP,SH,BP and PY in both header and item level?
Could u please explain with scenario.
Thanks & Regards
Sasikanth.Ch

Hi,
In which document you want to have different partner functions at both header and item level.
See if you define different partner function at header level and item level, there will be a split while creating the subsequent document.
If you want to send a combine delivery or combined item wise order its better to keep the header and item partners the same.
regards,
Siddharth.

How to avoid invoice split due to different partner function?

Hi,
I have problem when i create a bill from two deliveries. During the billing overview i have two invoices and the split analysis give me a message split due to different partner functions. The split must be avoid because we are using custom partner. Í try use the VOFM control copy but without result.Can you help me, please?.

Hi Pedro,
To combine multiple deliveries into one billing document, the deliveries should have same PAYER, PAYMENT TERM, INCOTERM, BILLING DATE and DESTINATION COUNTRY.
Ship-to-party or BP etc are not the criteria for combination.
If the above criteria are not same then you can not combine the deliveries.
Some settings in the copy control (VTFL)has to be made.
At Item level in VBRK/VBRP field put value "001".
At Item level in the Copying requirement field put value "004".

Partner function for customer through IDOC

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need to create the customer master through IDOC. I am using DEBMAS basic type for that. In its functionality, I need to assign different partner functions to it.
When I create customer without giving any partner details, 4 entries get created by default with partner functions as BP, SP, PY, SH and KUNN2 value as INTERNAL or the same customer number which is getting created. But I want that the customer number provided by me should be assigned as partner function. Is there any way to change the default entry which is getting created so that I can replace the INTERNAL customer number with the one provided by me.
I identified the segment as E1KNVPM in it at hierarchy level 3. I passed the partner function in the PARVW field of it and provided the customer number which I want to assign as partner function in the KUNN2 field. But I am getting error Customer INTERNAL already exists for function <Partner function>.
Am I missing something. Any msgfn or any other input.
Please help me on this.
Thanks

Partner functions in Customer master

Hi,
Can we maintain partner functions with out maitain customer sales area data, we need to maintain only general and company code data.
Business scenario - 1. We have some certain customers like carrying only address purposses we dont need maintain company code and sales area, so is sytem creates partner functions once save this type of customers.
2. same as said in point one some customers need general and company code data, dont need sales area, can system creates partner functions for this.
regards
Satish

Hi Satish C,
As already expressed by all other friends,
Just would like to add,
SAP has given 3 levels to maintain cusotmer relevant data ( General , Company Code & Sales area) & you are already aware of the same.
But each level has its own importance & it can be based on how you would like to use the respective partners in specific transactions.
for eg:
in Billing- Bill to / Payer is required to have Company Code data & Ship to doesnt need to have Company Code data.
In FI transactions- Customer doesnt need to have Sales area data.
similarly, it all depends on how you want to use.
NOte: if any partners using in Sales documents, should have General & Sales area data is mandatory. Company data is in billing.
Just to maintain the address, if its ok with your client, you can go for different partner function ( if required in sales transactions) & add in sales area data.

Sending mail to all partner function in transaction

Hi Folks,
Standard action and condition sends mail to only main partner function in transaction. But transaction could have more than one partners for same partner function. Can mail be sent to all partners in transaction by using standard action configuration?
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
You can control this using CRM_ACTION_BADI.
Below the use of this BADI.
In partner-dependent actions, business partners that occur in several functions, only the main partner remains.
This can be useful, for example to avoid sending the same e-mail to the same business partner if there are several action definitions for different partner functions or function types.
However, if several different actions have been defined as partner- dependent, this effect may not be required.
In this case, the CRM_ACTION_BADI standard implementation can be deactivated. In this case, all partners from the transaction are considered during action determination.
If this is also not required, a new implementation can be created.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Satish

Opportunities in account overview without partner function dependency

Hello,
on the account overview page we can see the opportunities as well as the interaction history for a account.
In the interaction history frame we can see every activity and opportunity where the account is involved.
In the opportunities frame we could only see these opportunities where the account has a special partner function in the opportunity.
For example the main account role is prospect.
This account is involved in several opportunities with several different partner functions in the opportunities.
We can only see these opportunities in the account overview where he is assigned with the role prospect.
We did a customization for the time-frame in IMG: Customer Relationship Management => Master Data => Business Partner => Specify Display Options for Business Transactions.
Is there a similar way to customize the partner function dependency for display?
Or is there another way to show all the opportunities (in the opportunity frame) where the account is involved, without partner function dependency?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Matthias Breuer

Matthias,
I believe you could influence this via the BADI CRM_BP_UIU_BT in enhancement spot CRM_UIU_BP_ENHANCEMENT. You can edit the selection criteria CT_SELECTION_PARAM as needed.
You can review the code CL_BUPA_IL_OPPORTUNITY_COMP to determine what criteria is being pouplated before the BADI is being called. In addition the filter value of the implementation needs to be 'BPQOPP'. From what I have seen SAP is hard-coding the partner type selection for the opportunity selection.
Take care,
Stephen

Sales Order Partner Functions (Payers,Ship to Parties)

Hi All
When creating a Sales Order in the ICWC application,how can we get all the business partner which belong to different partner functions (All Possible Payers,All Possible Ship to Parties).
In the application only one value is displayed by default.I want to fetch all the possible partner functions and fill these in a Pop-Up for proposal.
Thanks & Regards
Ajitabh

Hi Ajitabh,
Actualy the popup function for the partner selection in ICWC is disabled by coding, you will be able to check it in the debug.
It is not easy to include this in ICWC, as if you simply activate the popup allowed flag in coding, there will be a short dump. As the popup is designed within the ABAP GUI environment not in the browser.
SAP explains this as ICWC is used for quicker processing, thus nearly every determination will taken the defualt one to save time.
I am not so sure whether it is possible to developer a new view for selection. This should need much work of codings/development.

Customer number and partner functions

Hi
Is there any way to get the details if we give customer number as input and ship to party , bill to party and payer will get as out put whose are diffrent to the customer no.
is it possible through SE16 or any standard report for this requirement( there is one table KNVP but it gets all the sp,sh,bp,py details but how to get teh report if they different to customer no)
please suggest any body
regards

Venkat,
Correct me if my understanding is wrong?
You want to list the different partner function for the customer only when these are different than the input customer?
for example : If one customer SP= A, SH = B, PY= C, BP = D. Then this customer should come into list right?
if this is the case, you can easily achieve this by SE16N.
Go to SE16N,
enter KNVP table, Press enter
You can see 2 customer field : KUNNR and KUNN2,
in KUNNR customer enter your INPUT customer.
In KUNN2 : First click on Options ( second column , O), Select Not Equal to : and enter the same value of the customer and execute...
But this will only work for One by One customer....
The other option is Go with Z developemnet.
Thanks,
Raja

SRM partner function proposal and determination

Hi experts,
This might be a basic question, i wish to know where and how different partner functions in SRM are proposed?
For example,
When I create a shopping cart with one item, 5 partner function at item 1 are created (which are 19,16,20,75,27). I understand that fct: 20 (Goods recipient) is always the requestor, but how do system determines fct: 27 (Shiip-to-adress)?
Is it derived from company code, produc category etc.
Where is the logic written to propose this automatically by SRM system?I presume it is coming from ECC backend, but would like to know how?
Thanks
Amit kumar Jain

Hi Amit,
Partner Function 16 corresponds to requestor who is the SC creator
Partner Function 20 corresponds to goods recepient who is the SC creator again since he will confirm the goods
Partner Function 75 corresponds to plant under which the SC is requested. This is picked from BBP_LOCMAP table once you have replicated your plants from ECC as locations in SRM)
Partner Function 19 corresponds to supplier who is assigned in the SC
Partner Function 27 corresponds to delivery address which is picked from org structure attribute SHIP-TO-Address.
Hope this helps,
Nikhil

Can we view SH's partner functions in Sales Order?

Hi All,
SP has a different SH and FA is assigned to SH in master record. When we create order we can see all the partner functions of SP but we can't see partner functions of SH. User wants to see which FA is assigned to SH. We can only view partner functions of SH in delivery document. Is it possible to view partner functions of SH in sales order as well? Please suggest the ways to configure this setting.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Yes, you can view . Check the Partner determination procedure, include the partner function SH to your partner determination procedure assigned for your sales order.

Mandatory partner function at sales order item level

Hi all,
I'm customizing partner schema at item level for sales order. I have created a custom partner function, I put it in a new sales order item partner procedure and i set this partner function as mandatory (I want that system show me a message if this function is missing at item level in sales order). This partner function is defined only at sales order item level (not at header level or customer master).
If i create and save a sales order with an item type that use the item partner procedure I have created, system don't show me any message for the item custom partner function missing, else if it is set as mandatory in sales order item partner procedure.
I have read some posts in these forums about this functionality, but it seems a different situation.
Someone had a similar type of problem?
Thank you in advance for any possible suggestion.
Regards
Gianpaolo

Hi,
First you have to create a new partner function.
Then assign that partner function to the account group.
Then assign that partner function to partner determination procedure for the item category.
Over here click on the mandatory button also.
Then assign that partner determination procedure to item category.
Then to XD02 and give your customer number and in the partner tab maintain the data for that partner function.
Now go to VA01 and create your sales order you will see you partner function.
If you wont have maintained it in the customer master then it will prompt an error.
Regards
Raj.

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.
Edited by: Oren Wolk on May 2, 2010 11:17 AM

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.
