Field "source" and "Seq" in partner determination

Hello Gurus,
in defining procedure in partner determination, there is two field "source" and "Seq". how can I use them?
thanks very much!

Hi
The feilds for source and seqeunce are used when the system needs to obtain a partner record from another partner in the sales document.other than sold to party.
Example :
If partner is a buyer(PY) partner function and the record of the buyer is not assigned to sold to party (SP) but to biill to party (BP), the source feild may be assigned as BP for bill to party and the sequence number must come after that of the bill to party (BP)

Question about partner determination for customer master

Hi, experts,
I have already read the documentation about this topic at forum. Still I have the following question:
why should we assign the partner function to the account group? According to my understanding, the partner function has to be assigned to partner determination procedure and then through partner determination it is associated with the account group. If the partner can be assigned to account group directly, why do we still need determination procedure?
Best regards,
Fan

Hi
Let us consider an existing Partner Determination procedure in standard SAP.
The Partner Determination Procedure (e.g, ABCD) can contain multiple "Partner Functions". Suppose there are 100 numbers of Partner Functions in the Procedure.
We assign "Partner determination Procedure" to the "Account Group", so that , the assigned Procedure will be applicable for the Customer master data created under that Account group.
Suppose, Partner determination Procedure "ABCD" has been assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
Now, any Customer created under Account Group "XYZ", the Procedure "ABCD" will be applicable for them. Right?
We have already discussed , the Procedure "ABCD" contains 100 different "Partner Functions".
Out of these 100 Partner Functions, only those Partner Functions, which are permitted by the Account Group "XYZ" , they can only be entered in the Sales area data > Partner Function tab of the Customer master data.
Suppose, only 6 Partner functions (out of 100 no) are assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
So these 6 Partner Functions are permitted by the said Account Group "XYZ" and these 6 Partner Functions can only be entered in the Customer master data.
So, to summerise it, if you want to enter a Partner Function in the Customer master, then
- First, that Partner Function must be available in the Procedure which applicable, and
- Second, that Partner Function also must have been permitted (assigned) by the Account Group .
I hope, it is clarified.

Partner determination to copy business partners

Hello guys,
I´m facing a problem, in my scenario (crm 5.0, webclient, service tickets).
An older consultant, configured the server to work with service tickets, using contact person and sold-to-party. Both are the person whose contacts the contact center.
Now I have to change the service ticket screen in order to able the atendant to change the business partner previoulsy identified. The atendant, in these process, must change the sold-to-party and the contact person. What i´d like to do is, create a partner determination, where the atendant change only the contact person, and this new business partner id, be copied to the sold to party.
I tried to create a new sequence, and tried many partner determinations, but I could not do it.
Is there a way to do it? How?
Thanks
David

Hi David,
I don't know whether you are interested to code for this or not, but generally we can change the partner determination through BADI COM_PARTNER_BADI.

Territory and partner determination procedure for employee responsible

Hi CRM team,
I have a little issue for you I'll be very thankfull if someone could help me.
There is the organisation of the territory management in the company I'm working for:
-Country
-Region
-sector
*each sector have a determination rule based on 1 condition "1 field from the BP Header (customer)"
*each sector have a position assigned to it. (Organisational model PPOMA_CRM) And there is 1 or 2 employee affected to each position..
*When creating an activity,*
*First thing I enter the Account (customer: activity partner)*
*I would like the system to determine the employee affected to the sector of the BP as the employee responsible.*
Any Idea?
For the moment, I'm searching in the partner determination procedure. But the standard access sequence Business Partner Relationships: Activity Partner -> User dont work.
There is some sitting from my IMG:
The partner fonction Employee Responsible is with
*fonction category: employee
*usage: CRM
*Relationship category: Is the employee responsible for
Partner determination procedure:
In the acces sequence, I put a dialogue seq 15 :
Business partner from territory
And in the detail on source, I put:
Fonct. categ. : Employee
Usage: CRM
It dosn't work...
I don't know if I'm am searching in the right place.
Could you help me with a solution to have the needed system behavior????
Thanks a lot for your time and your help.
Best regards,
Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
After created determination rules for territories have executed the report CRM_TERRMAN_PROC_REL for initial option?
Once territories and determination rules are created, you need to run the above report in Background(schedule a batch job) which will establish relationships between the territories and corresponding attributes. You need to run this report every time there is a change in determination rule of create/change territories.
This should resolve your problem

Priyanka

Access sequence for Partner determination -Sales and Interaction Center CRM

Dear experts,
We use som transaction types both in our sales (t/c crmd_order) and in Interaction center (t/c CIC0).
We though want the partner determination to act differently when creating this transaction in sales compared
to when creating it in the interaction center. For example in the sales process we want the contact persons to be searched from the relationsship of the sold-to party but in customer service we do not want an automatic determination.
There are some BADIs available that can be used in the access sequences as a source but can they be used to
switch off some automatic determination when creating the transaction in t/c CIC0 whereas the automatic determination should work when creating the transaction in the sales process ie. t/c crmd_order?
Looking forward to have any input on this, thanks!
best regards,
Christina

Hi,
What we did is to remove the automatic determination on the transaction type that is used both in the sales process and Interaction center/customer service. The partner in question is only determined from the previous document in case you
create a follow-up document.

Christina

Table Name for Partner Determination Procedure and created by data

Dear Gurus,
kindly let me know the table name for a list of "Partner Determination Procedure" and "created by" data under a client.
if there is no such table for this, kindly let me know how can i fetch these details.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
You can get your required information by combining these 2 table by using SQVI
TPAER where it gives PartnDet.Proc and Part.funct.
TPAR where it gives Part.funct inforamtion.
By using these tables i.e. by using Common field Part.funct. - PARVW

Partner Determination in PO and OBDLV

Hey @ all,
what I am trying to do right now is to implement a simple, customer specific partner determination procedure. For that I want to add a partner role and partner to an purchase order on header level.
The only place I found where I could add this partner is in BAPI_PO_CREATE1. But this BAPI is not used when I create a PO with the GUI (ME21N).
So do you have an idea, where I could add a an additional partner to the PO (User-Exit, Badi, Enhancement Spot ...)?
The same thing I want to do with the outbound delivery (VL01N). There is User-Exit MV50AFZ1 available. But there is the question: How do I add a partner within this user exit (structures to edit...).
Thanks for you help in advance,
Rolf

Hi,
   If its specific to plant and vendor, then check whether the plant specific partner function has been activated.
   Go to MK02 - partner function and go to menu - extras - Add. purchasing data and check whether "Data retent. at plant level allowed" flag is marked as shown below.
   If so, go to menu - extras - Alternative data.
Click on partner details:
Here, system will show plant specific partners.
   Here, maintain the partner function PI for the plant and check the scenario again.
Another option would be to maintain the higher level search flag in the partner function configuration as highlighted below:
   Now, system will search partners at purchase organization level, if no partner function is found at plant level.

Runtime error occurs after end_method executed. Data objects in Unicode programs cannot be converted.
D) Workflow test
Enter workitem id <execute>

Workflow errors in Attachment step (however Office document can be viewed in details for step).

Problem has now been resolved. Problem was related to use of swr_att_id structure and swc_set_element statement in BOR program - problem resolved by only setting w/f container to swr_att_id-doc_id.

Issue in mapping the same source and target fields

Hi All,
I am working on PI 7.0 and currently I am connecting to PI 7.0 via citrix desktop . Problem here is : in the mapping , direct mapping option that is available to map the same source and target fields is disabled . I do know that this is due to some java version issue .
What I want to know is there any possibilty of solving this issue without installing an updated java version ?
Regards
Vinay P.

I've faced the same for many times and all of that were due to Java version.
1st of all, you have to check the authorizations you have. If you have enough (DEVELOPER_J2EE, CONTENT_ORGANIZER_J2EE, and so), and - obvious but very often forgotten - you have to assure you're trying to change it in the message mapping change mode On.
Then, last shot should be downgrade your Java version.
The 1.4.2 JRE version allow you to use not only the Mapp the Identical field but also Dependencies, Clear Mapping and some other tools/buttons. As mentioned above, if there's a fix in the new Java releases, I do not know (hope so) and would appreciate if you could let us know.
Tks.

Partner determination sold to party and ship to party.

Hi frnds,
Currently in the customer master in partner function we are maintaining ship to party the same as sold to party , now for some of the customer the ship to party and sold to party are different , so while creating a sales when i enter the sold to party , the system propose the ship to party and on that basis the delivery and billing should take place.
What are the configuration settings required to be done to this , i will maintain the ship to party in customer master partner determaination, but when i create the sales order and when i enter the sold to party , it should propse the ship

Hi Rakesh,
As per SAP standard setting ship to party will be determined from Sold to party master , if that is maintained. I suggest to copy Standard and test again.
Also ,hope you have not made any changes to the partner determination procedure fro Sales Document at header Level. This will also impact .

CIC0 Partner determination different between crmd_order and CIC0

Hi experts,
We have a problem with the partner determination. We have a partner who has relations with several other partners. In the partner determination procedure, we have indicatied that the partner needs at most one occurence and a selection limitation of 1. There is also an access sequence that makes sure that the right partner is found.
This all works fine in the CRMD_order transaction. You get a list of partner to choose from when you enter the main partner. Unfortunately, this does not work in the CIC0 transaction. In this case the system takes the top partner of the list.
Does anyone know why partner determination in CIC0 seems to ignore the setting of selection limitation and occurences? Why is this different between crmd_order and CIC0? How can we make it the same?
Thank you for your input,
kind regards,
Ragina Mahadew

Hi Ragina, welcome to SDN.
My opinion is that main purpose for that, was to speed up the interaction registration by the call center agents.
But if you want to display the partner selection pop-up in CIC0 t-code, you can try to implement note 487734 for that.
Hope that helps!
Kind regards,
Garcia
