Extend vendor - partner function

Hi,
when we extend the vendor in XK01 using reference function from pur org A to pur org B, can the partner function such as the additional remit to will be copy to extended pur org as well?
I try to do that, but it can't.
Anyone has any idea?

Vendor partner functions

Hi SAP gurus,
I have 3 scenarios of Vendor partner function.
So please help me to configure this.
In scenarios 1 & 2 procurement is made from overseas source and supplier, in scenario 1 source & suppliers are different; In scenario two source & supplier are same. In scenario three material is procured locally with possibility of cash purchase or is done under barter scheme.
Waiting for reply.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answer.
Regards,
Ravi.

In scenario 1 source & suppliers are different
How they are differnt if the ordering address is different then use "OA" partner function in the vendor master record
If invoicing party is different then maintain "PI" partner function in the vendor master record.
In scenario two source & supplier are same
No need to maintain partner function.Since same vendor is playing all the roles.

Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

What are the different Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

Hi Manoj,
I guess most of ur questions are related to SAP Business One (Functional) rather than the SDK. So please post ur questions in the SAP Business One forum rather than in the SAP Business One SDK forum. Then u'll get quick replies.

Does SRM support Vendor Partner Functionality from ECC?

Does SRM support or sync up with Vendor Partner functions in ECC such as OA, VN, PI, etc.?
Initial look at SRM does not suggest that SAP has made it easy to replicate partner functions in SRM.

Benefits of using vendor partner function

Hello Experts:
I understand the general use of vendor partner function. But what are the benefits of using vendor partner function? Is it for ease of reporting? Is there a functionality down the line that will not be possible if a vendor partner function is not used?
The reasoning for this question is, I am at a client that has the general association of vendor and remit to addresses. However, they also have a scenario where they have one main vendor, but there are 30+ remit to addresses. These remit to addresses are dependent on the plant that placed the order. As an example, the vendor is AT&T, but the plant that uses the service in Caifornia sends the check to a remit to address in Calif. The plant in Arizona, sends their check to another AT&T remit to address in AZ.
My current solution is, for the client to create the partner function that are more straight forward, one main vendor and one remit to address. As for the vendors that have multiple remit to addresses, i am opting out not to create the partner function. Which is why I am asking if there is an issue not using vendor partner function.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

It is certainly possible to work without partner functions in SAP.
It is almost impossible to work without partner functions in SAP if you do business with global players and need some comfort for your processes.
It is impossible to work without partner functions if oyu have to do Intrastat reporting with SAP and your goods supplier is located in a different EU country than your vendor.
In your special case with AT&T without partner functions, you would enter the invoice to your main vendor, the payment run then creates a cheque to your main vendor (and you then use Microsoft word to create a lable with the remit to address that you stick over the SAP printed address on the cheque ..... how does Finance department know that it has to create this lable?.....how will you be able to trace who got the cheque? ..........this is not a good practice)
Especially in this case the partner funtions gives the real benefit.
partner funtions are not for ease of reporting, as You cannot run analyses for any of the other partner roles supplied in the standard system.
if you use invoicing party, then the invoicing partyu2019s account will be charged instead of the vendoru2019s.

Vendor partner function

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1. for the partner roles like goods supplier, invocing party, order party, etc do all these need to have different account groups , example one account group for goods supplier, one account group for invoicing party, etc , etc.
or these can be accomodated in one account group. i have 2 types of vendors domestic and foreign. thinking of having 2 account group ZDOM and ZIMP.
can i have partner function of domestic vendors in ZDOM and partner functions of foreign vendors in ZIMP.
2. if we have a partner function of invocing party (IP), while doing MIRO automatically the vendor assigned to the IP partner roles get defaulted.
how the system understands this? I want to know where this logic is there.
Regards

Hi,
It seems you have not picked the question correctly.
If i am using the same account group where the vendor schema is mandatory, it will be required to be put in IP also.
you cannot do away with it. the parameter what are there in a particluar account group, all always applicable to all the vendor created in that account group.
your comments:
u will assign a pricing procedure to the IP only in case u need a certain type of conditions which are not avilable in the standard pricing procedure ......................and which ever conditions are selected in the po then these are used in MIRO
becaues in miro you will be verifying the invoice with refer. to some documents and system picks the conditions from po
please give a relook into your answer.
*my comments:
vendor partner function is at Header level where as conditions can be at header and item levels.
the conditions will be applicable of VN vendor. how can you have different conditions for main vendor and some different for partner vendor.
if it is possible let me know how can I give value for the conditions maintained for partner function.
Regards

How to CIF vendor partner function

Hi All,
Can someone explain how to CIF the vendor partner function into SNC ? Does the standard Integration model work for it ?
Regards
Vivek Jaju

Hi Vivek,
In ECC we have CIFLOC01 (EXIT_SAPLCLOC_002) user exit for CIF location enhancement but i don't think so this will help you.
Also there is no field in SNC location master that we can use to stored this partner function data in SNC(may Z-field can be created but it is not good)
What is the requirement for which you need partner function information in SNC?

Configuration of Vendor Partner Function

Dear All,
Please provide the configuration steps for vendor partner functions.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi venkat
Partner Function:
In Purchasing, you have contact with various business partners (e.g. vendors or carriers).
For each account group, you can define which roles the business partners may assume.
Ex: You can specify that certain vendors may function as ordering addresses only - not as invoicing parties.
You can use partner roles both within a corporate group and to define relationships between independent firms.
Yes, when you assign partners for the main vendor. It will display all the partnering vendors for the Main vendor. Subsequently you will receive the invoices from the respective vendors.
And for that you need to configure the partner determination
in SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing -->
--> Partner Roles
Define partner roles
Define permissible partner roles per account group
--> Partner Settings in vendor master record
Define partner schemas
Assign partner schemas to account groups
--> Partner Settings in Purchasing document
Define partner schemas
Assign partner schemas to document types
Follow the steps to complete the partner determination configuration setup.
And then create a vendor master record for the each account group (each vendor can have different vendor account group) and choose the respective partner account group and then create.
And maintain, the partner vendors in the main vendor (which is created with account group : 0001, main vendor partner role is VN).
and
then you can see the partners in the Partner function in the Main Vendor Master record.
Pls follow the steps accordingly, you will get it.
Reward if useful

Shawn

Vendor partner function is overriding my output determination for PO email

I'm trying to get a PO emailed to the user who created the PO based on purchasing group. I configured output determination so that a message is correctly getting generated -- in MN05 I've got the purchasing group tied to the VU (user responsible) partner function which specifies the SAP User.
My issue is that the PO is using the vendor (VN) partner function to pull in the vendor address which needs to appear on the PO form. So the system is always looking to the vendor's email for the output instead of my output determination message. Is there any way to disable this yet still use the vendor address for the PO form?
Note that everything is configured properly and I am receiving PO email based on the email in the vendor master. I'm trying to do the same using output determination instead.
Thanks, Vlad

Hi,
1.) got to transaction NACT, Select the Output type; say NEU, and then Select the Partner Function. You can change it as per your requirement for Ordering address, Vendor, Delivering plant.
2.) Yes you can use Vendor's address in the PO Form. For that you would need assistance from ABAP.

Vendor partner function not available for pricing

Dear Consultants,
I am using a self defined partner function which is a vendor and attached to my customer master in sales area data tab.
I have defined a condition table in which one of the key is this partner function. The condition record is maintained for this combination but during sale order creation this value is not getting determined in pricing. In the pricing analysis screen a exclamaiton sign is seen against this.
Kindly help as to how to make the system read the value attached in the partner function tab.
Thanks & Regards
Sourabh

You will need to populate it in MV45AFZZ in userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk.

Vendor partner function not getting copied from opportunity to ERP order

Hi,
I have created vendors in ERP and replicated them to CRM. The number ranges are different in both the systems. IN CRM it is Y033100476 and in ERP it is 33100476. I have put Y033100476 in the parties involved assignment block and create ERP sales order as follow up. When i do this the broker partner function first of all doesnt appear with partner function Y033100476. And the system gives me warning that "CRM business partner Y033100476 could not be mapped to an ERP customer", i have seen the notes 1236015 and 1446253, but still its not clear to me, that why the vendor partner doesnt gets copied to ERP sales orders, am i missing any setting?

By standard you:
1. associate customers to plants in ERP under spro>Materials Management> Purchasing>Purchase Order>Set Up Stock Transport Order. There select button "Plant" to get a list of all plants in the system. Select one plant and press button "Details". In the details screen enter customer number you want to assosiate with plant.
2. mapp table customer <-> Plant in CRM in table CRMM_LOCMAP. In order to update this table with the information from ERP, run the download object DNL_PLANT. After the download is completed, the table CRMM_LOCMAP should be filled with fresh records which map the 'plant business partners' to respective plants. But as I said in previous post, you can also
manually update this table with the correct mapping entries.
Regards.

Hi,
Error show no valid role of partner role in vendor account group.
Why you are using partner schema L1
1st assign Partner Function DP -Delivery Plant (partner role) to vendor account group(ZV01) in following path:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Partner Determination-> partner roles->Permissible partner roles per account group
Now define partner schemas (Z111) & keep partner function u201CDPu201D under partner schemas Z111 in following path:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Partner Determination->Partner setting in Vendor master record-> Define partner Schema
Then, assign partner schemas Z111 to vendor account group(ZV01) in following path:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Partner Determination->Partner setting in Vendor master record-> Assign partner schema to account Group

Vendor Partner function setup for intrastat

Hi,
I'd like to know how to set-up the partner functions for a vendor for the following case.
Ordering plant: Belgium
Vendor has multiple warehouse in Belgium and in other countries in the EU as well as outside the EU (Switzerland).
At the time the PO is created, the purchasing department doesn't know from where the materials will be shipped.
- If it is shipped from Belgium, it shouldn't be reported in Intrastat
- If it is shipped from Switzerland, it shouldn't be reported in Intrastat
- If it is shipped from an EU country, it should be reported in Intrastat
I've tried to set up partner functions in the vendor master
But I receive a pop-up at the time of the PO creation.
Is there a way to trigger the intrastat entry generation at the time of the inbound delivery note ? It's only at that time that the receiving department will know from where the goods were shipped.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Hi all ;
Please look at document Partner determination .
I looked related notes but inbound delivery is not contacted with PD. It might be with a abaper.
