Explanation of functionality partner functions

Hi
Can anybody explain me the functionality of the following button:
XD02 -> General Data -> Contact Persons -> Partner Functions
I didn't found a help on the function. When I push the button the following error comes up:
"Partner is not assigned to a partner function"
I try to link a partner function entry out of the sales area data into the general or company code data, in order that we can use it for the dunning procedure.
Best regards

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

What is the use of Source Partner function

Dear Experts,
Can you please explain me the exact use of Source Partner Function in Partner Functions in procedures in Customizing.
Is it used to propose only sold to party partner function or any partner function from the master data of particular partner function.
I read SAP standard help but I got confused because of its example. It is as below.
Source partner function
Partner function which serves as an alternative source for determining the sold-to party.
Procedure
If you don't want the system to propose a partner from the sold-to party master record, enter another partner function here. The system will then propose the sold-to party from the master record of your partner function.
Example
If you enter WE (ship-to party) in this field for the function VE (sales employee), when you create the sales document, it determines the sold-to party from the VE partner function in the ship-to party's master document.
kindly reply. thanks in advance
sagar wagh

Dear Sagar,
While determining the partner functions you can define that particular partner should be determined from the source partner functions master data.
For example you want to determine the Freight forwarder and you want to make sure that this partner function should be proposed as per the ship to party then in customizing for freight forwarder partner function you will maintain the source as ship to party. Due to this customization when you will be creating the sales order for sold to party x and assume that for x you are having two different ship to party at two distinct locations. For these two locations you have different freight forwarder providing the services(one for each location). So to determine the right freight forwarder the above mentioned customizing will be required. Otherwise system will propose this partner function as per sold to and that will be same for all ship to.
Hope this example will help you to understand the usage of source in partner determination.
Thanks and regards,
Atul

Access Sequnce in Partner Function

Hi
We are using same transaction types for 3 different types of service orders functionality.
Service order, Copy Service Order, Follow up service Order, we are defined partner function with below category, Client, Alternative Requester, Employee Responsible, Service Group..
Scenario 1.
The Original service order has both Client & Alternative partner function fields with the same person i.e. u201CClient is equal to Alternative Requester, we require scenario as below
i)      Copy service order partner functions are the same partner functions as the preceding (original) service order.
ii)      FUSO alternative requester partner function will be copied from Original service order Client Partner Function partner function.
Scenario 2:
The Original service order has both Client & Alternative Requester partner function fields with different values i.e. u201CClient is not equal to Alternative Requesteru201D. Here it will impact on FUSO as described below
i)         There is no effect to copy functionality i.e. Copy service order partner
           Function has same partner functions as the preceding (original) service order
ii)     Effect on FUSO logic: Alternative requester partner function will be copied from original service order to FUSO alternative requester field.
But as per scenario Client from Original service order should become Alternative Requester for FUSO,, Suggest perfect access sequence to satisfy above condition
Regards
Raju

Hi,
Create an access sequence with one step:
1) Client from Preceding document
in which the source should be preceding document and the details on the origin should be your client partner function.
Then assign this access sequence to your Alternative Requester partner function.
This should work.

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.

Leon

Difference between partner role & partner function

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

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.

Sasi

Dear Sir,
I am also face same problem.

Then i have maintain one batch class RM_class and it assign to material.But when i want to display manufacture name in good receipt it is not display.
Analysis : The field of manufacture name is not saved in any table it is use in structure. so field of manucture is not caintain any value so it can't display any valve in good receipt.
Solution: If you give name of manufactue in CT04(charecteristic of manufacture) and this charecteristic assign to class(RM_class) then this class is assign to material.Than when you create good receipt and select manufacture name it will display at the time of batch determination and also when you want to dispaly mateiral list by manufacture you can see it with help of BMBC.
If you have any other idea please explan me.

Vendor master - Partner functions

Hello Team,
There is a vendor master with partner functions maintained for OA (Ordering address) There are 4 different ordering address vendors maintained in this vendor master.
Let us say Vendor A ---> has OA's - 1,2,3,4
Now when a PO is created a screen pops up to choose the reqd OA's for the vendor and only one will be chosen by the user.
Now this is changeable at PO level - ME22N
Let me get straight to the question
CAN WE RESTRICT THE ICHANGE OF OA's IN THE PO ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF WHAT IS MAINTAINED IN THE VENDOR MASTER.
Right now the system is allowing to change in the PO any OA vendor other than what is maintained in the vendor master.
I know this is because OA account group, let us say W1 is assigned to other 4 account groups W2,W3,W4,W5.
I don't want to change this config to retsrict this by changing the above setting.
As told in on line above, Issue is, any vendor from these 4 account groups W2,W3,W4,W5 , if input in the partner functions at PO level, the system is picking up and I do not want that to happen.
My requirement is to change in the PO only to the extent of OA's maintained in the Vendor master.
Thanks for your patience on this lengthy explanation, TRYING TO BE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE.
Best Regards

Hello Jürgen!

Creation of partner functions for customer master with LSMW

Hello,
I try to create partner functions together with a customer via Batch Input in LSMW.
Object: 0050, method: 0000, program name: RFBIDE00, program type: B.
I use the structure BKNVP (Customer master partner functions) to create a new partner and set values for the fields KTONR and PARVW.
When I start the batch input the fields are filled in correctly in a new dynpro. After the confirmation of these values the dynpro changes back to the partner functions sscreen, but the value for KTONR isn'n being transferred. So I get an error message.
Is it only possible to update partner functions with that BI or what is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance and regards
Alex

Hi Alex,
Could you specify what error message you are getting?

Automatic assignment of Partner Function (Dealer) based on Postal Code?

Hi Experts,
We are realizing a project in the Bathroom-Product Industry. Responsible for the service to the end-clients are authorized dealer. When creating a service ticket the responsible dealer has to be assigned automatically to the ticket on the basis of the postal code where the IBase (the product) is installed.
The process is:
1. The client is calling the Interaction Centre and first the IC Agent has to identify the account and the Installed Base (The installed base contains the postal code where the product of the client is installed) of this account.
2. An Interaction Record is created to record this inbound call.
3. Afterwards a Service Ticket is created as a follow-up Document of the Interaction Record. In the moment of the creation of the Service Ticket the correct dealer has to be assigned automatically to the Service Ticket (as a Partner Function not as a Service Organization) on the basis of the postal code of the installed base.
I have the following question! Which are the steps to assign automatically a Business Partner Function to a Service Ticket? We also need to create a Z-Table with the postal codes for which every dealer is responsible.
Example:
Dealer 1 is responsible for the postal codes: 08040 - 08045 and 08056 - 08059. If a client is calling and his product (Installed Base) is installed in Postal Code 08042 or 08054 the dealer 1 has to be assigned to the service ticket.
I hope I could make myself clear ;-)? Anybody can give me a hint how to do that? What are the basic steps?

Slightly similiar, originally being an R/3 customer before implementing CRM our dealer equated to sales office.
In the CRM Org model (PPOMA_CRM) in the attributes of the sales office we entered the Regions & Postal codes for that dealer (pain in the arse to do) and in CRM the sales office in the org creates a BP.
We used a org rule for the IR record based on country, region, postal code to determine the appropriate sales org, DC, div, and sales office based onthe zip code. We created a custom partner function to represent the partner number of the BP from the org model. Then we configured a custom relationship "ZORG" "Is partner of sales office" and went into the BP master and assigned the actual dealer number as a partner to BP from the org model that = sales office. From that we configured a custom access sequence to pull the actual dealer number from the org model office relationships.
We looked at territory management, but our dealer is an "org BP" and territory management appeared to want to drive to a person BP number.

Problem in creation of partner function creation.

Hi all,
During customer Master upload using LSMW direct method, Iam getting this problem.
while creating Sales view using XD01, three partner function VE (Sales Representative), SH (Ship-to party), ZI (Front Office) are getting displayed in the last tab of sales view creation.
Because of some customizing,value for SH is getting populated automatically. But the values for VE & SH are not getting populated from the flat file.
But the values are present in the respective field (KTONR) and able to see in the display convert data.
If I enter the manual value during runtime in LSMW, it accepts the value. Since it involves huge amount of data, manual entry for records is not possible.
Kindly provide the solution.
Regards
Narasingam.B

This problem can be solved by proper customizing.

I can not see all "Divisions" in BP Rel.--Partner Function Assignment

Hi,
When I edit "Partner Function Assignment" in BP reliationship such like BUR011("Employee Responsible"),
I can not see all "Divisions" in list which I can see in configuration via SPRO-->Customer Relationship Management->Master Data->Orgnizational Management->Division Setting->Define Divisions.
E.g., in configuration, I can see 7 records of divisions from "001" to "007", but in "Partner Function Assignment" of BP relationship, I can only see "002" to "004".
Do you know why? Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Long

hi
that should not be happening,if they are visible in one client then should be there in another too
do one things try run this
hrbc1_atributes_buffer_update
it will refresh the buffers of your org structure and then you may be able to add this
also check the check box where it is mentioned that"object determination should be permitted"
remember it will run only for once after you run this the check box will be unchecked again
i guess it may solve your probs
also try to structure your org structure index
use t code
crmd_index_om
and withtin the object type give O
and execute
best regards

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.

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.
