Goods Supplier (GS) and Ordering Address (OA) Partner functions

Hello!
Is it true that vendors that play the role of OA and GS partners do not need a purchasing view?
That is what I am noticing... but before I tell the users that they don't need to create purchasing views for vendors that are purely used as OA or GS, I wanted to reconfirm this with some experts, in case I am missing something in my tests.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Hi Anisha,
Purchasing View must be maintained for your vendor master record because it contain all the key information related.
Such as if you want to activate Gr Based invoice verification for your vendor .Also it Auto Purchase creation is possible if the the radio button is ticked in purchasing view of it and material master record.
I think purchasing view must be maintained for the vendor master record.

Sales order list by Partner Function "Customer Contact"

Hi, I can see I can get a list of sales orders out of SAP based on Customer, but I want to obtain the same list for the Partner Function "Customer Contact". Any idea how to do this?
Regards

Hi,
You can get a list of sales order by any type of partner, by making the configuration / customizing changes.
This since you can select the partner function to use in transaction VA05.
In SPRO there is a function for reports (sorry if I'm wrong on that), where you need to maintain the index per function (either inquiry, sales order, delivery or billing document) and the partner function (sold-to, ship-to, etc).
Once the customizing change has been made you might have to execute a report to update the appropriate indexes. I believe the help function in the customizing transaction tells you which report to execute (RVV50 IB or something in that nature).

Send Invoice by email using email address of partner function

Hi everybody,
I am facing a problem with sending invoices by email. In particular I have created in customizing a new partner function of type contact person, namely "email address recipient". This partner function is used to get the correct email address which is different from the one stored in customer master data.
The problem is that when i print the messagge, the email address used is exactly the one of the customer master data and not the one stored in the partner function "email address recipient".
Example:
customer xxx email address yyy,
for xxx it is defined a partner function email address recipient zzz with email jjj.
The invoice message is always sent to yyy.
Do you have any suggestions to solve this issue?
Thanks,

Issue caused by custom program.

HTMLDB 1.6 and "order by" in analytic functions

In HTMLDB 1.6, oracle 10g, when i enter the string "order by" in the region source of a report of the type "sql query (pl/sql function body returning sql query", I get
1 error has occurred
* Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled.
I understand the reason for this error, but unfortunately i need this for an analytic function:
row_number() over (partition by ... order by ...)
It seems that the check is performed by simply looking for the string "order by" in the "region source" (in fact the error fires even if that string is contained within a comment).
I know possible workarounds (eg creating a view and select'ing from it), i just wanted to let you know.
Regards
Alberto

Another one under the 'obvious route' category:
Seems that the ORDER BY check is apparentl for ORDER<space>BY... so simply adding extra whitespace between ORDER and BY bypasses the check (at least in 2.1.0.00.39).
To make it a bit more obious that a separation is intended, an empty comment, i.e. ORDER/*/BY*, works nicely

Goods supplier

hi guys
if i maintain GS as parner fun
what extra adv i will get
how it will effect at PO,MIGO,MIRO
am not getting any diff
while MIGO it showing sipmly in Partner TAb item details
goods supplying vendor as some other vendor
is there any other effect by using GS
nani

hi,
they are all partner function definable while creating the vendor master.
when there is a change in the goods supplier, invoice presenter,ordering address, vendor....
GS- goods supplier will help in it come to passing the excise cenvat amount.
Excise duty/ cenvat is always taken on the goods suppliers cenvat excise.
so from FI and excise point of u maintaing the GS will give them an additional benifit.

Purchase Order to Ordering Address

Hello Experts,
We have multiple Ordering Addresses for a main vendor which are created with seperate vendor numbers. Main vendor is created with multiple ordering address as Partner Function (OA) on it and individual Ordering Addresses vendors are created with Partner Function -VN as Main Vendor and OA - as Ordering Address vendor.
Example -
Vendor Master record of main vendor 1234-
Partner Function
Main Vendor (VN) - 1234
Invoicing Party (PI) - 1234
Ordering Address (OA) Vendor 1 - 123401
Ordering Address (OA) Vendor 2 - 123402
Vendor Master record of Ordering Address vendor 123401
Partner Function
Main Vendor (VN) - 1234
Invoicing Party (PI) - 1234
Ordering Address (OA) Vendor 1 - 123401
Vendor Master record of Ordering Address vendor 123402
Partner Function
Main Vendor (VN) - 1234
Invoicing Party (PI) - 1234
Ordering Address (OA) Vendor 1 - 123402
We have a requirement to create Purchase Orders using Ordering Address vendor, example Vendor number on the PO will be 123401 (Ordering Address vendor) and Partners on the PO will be VN - 1234, PI - 1234 and OA -123401
Similarly Vendor number of PO vendor will be 123402 (Ordering Address vendor) and Partners on the PO will be VN - 1234, PI-1234 and OA -123402
We want to understand the pros and cons of going with this approach of creating POs. Normally we create PO for Main Vendor and Ordering Address Vendor as Partner OA on it.
Thanks in advance.

is this okay for you?
Usually one wants to see all statistics for the main vendor, and not for each order address.
what do you actually achieve the VN vendor number, where is it used for what?

Hi different vendor for goods supplier and main vendor

There are two vendors one is main vendor and second vendor is goods supplier.How to use these two vendor when ordering material.
Whether we have to create two purchase orders one for the main vendor and one for the goods supplier?
What is process the process to be followed in this scenerio?
and what are teh settings required?
Thank you.

the question is: do you really need to mention the good supplier in your PO?
The partner role GS good supplier is used in European Trade reporting like INTRASTAT, because there you have to report the goods movement, dispatch and arrival country. The dispatch country is then determined based on GS partner and not from VN partner.
if vendor is different from good supplier, then you need an extra vendor master for the good supplier, then you need to allow this GS role in your partner schema.
Then you need to maintain the GS partner in the vendor master partner view of your main vendor.
From there is will default to your POs .

Partner functions OA and IP missing for Vendor in Extended classic PO

As part of current Classic scenario, we have maintained OA (Ordering Address) and PI (Invoicing Party) for a vendor in R/3. We have also maintained different ordering addresses for multiple plants in the Vendor master: Partner functions screen --> Alternative data.
I would like to acheive the same functionality in Extended Classic scenario. We have replicated the vendors from R/3 to SRM. After activating Extended Classic scenario, we see only VN as the partner function in R/3 PO.
Q1. How can we enable OA and PI partner functions in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?
Q2. How can we enable different ordering addresses for multiple plants in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?

Copying Ordering Address in Cart when importing from MDM: Problem

Hi,
There is are two enhancements in my scenario. My problem is in part 2 but to understand part 1 is required to mention.
Part1: Configuring new partner function in SPRO for ECC ordering address vendor. As a result one separate section named "Ordering Address" got appeared in shopping cart screen.-->This one Is running fine
Part 2: When I will import MDM items by "Add to Shopping cart" at the time of creation of shopping cart, all fields including Ordering Address for the corresponding main vendor "Source of supply tab) will be populated automatically.
For this I had to write the following code-logic in the SC_CHANGE method of BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
loop at it_item
Reading the vendor which is in Source of supply screen
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL'
   EXPORTING
     i_object_id               = wa_item-ctr_hdr_number
     i_read_flags              = X
   TABLES
     e_partner                 = i_partner.
now read i_partner with partner function (lets say 00000701) and then append this partner into ET_PARTNER table.
I copied the partner_guid and p_guid of main vendor(lets say partner func = 00000019) to get reflect into the shopping cart "Ordering Address" tab While appending.
I tested shopping cart getting populated with desire result and going into "ordered" state.
But when I check the Purchase Order (which has just got generated as a result of shopping cart creation) I found one hyperlink named "SEVERAL" for "ODERING ADDRESS" instead of any value.
Also I checked the line item and saw not all line items has desired ordering address under "PARTNER" tab.
Can any body help me out why this auto generated PO has problem with Ordering Address where as I can see the Shopping Cart got created properly with desired OA value for every line item.
Is this due to Partner_GUI or P_GUID value which I am manipulating within BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI badi.
Thanks

You cannot maintain the address (partner function 'Ship-to party' is empty)

Dear Experts,
      I create one outbound delivery but when I click on address ( Symbol next to ship to party) it is showing below error.
You cannot maintain the address (partner function 'Ship-to party' is empty)
Message no. VPD017
I also check customer master , address is maintain properly.
in partner functions Sold-to party , Bill-to party , Payer , Ship-to party all are same. ( example: if bill to party is ABC then payer , ship to pary , bill to party all are ABC).
Please help.

Nirav Desai

Hii Nirav Desai,
You do correctly "configure automatic partner determination". The steps are as below -
Customer Master
Sales Document Header
Sales Document Item
Delivery Type
Shipment Type
Billing Header
Billing item
Sales Activities
1.     How to define partner?
A grouping of partner functions. The procedure specifies which partner functions are allowed for a particular business transaction (for example, for processing a sales order) and which of those partner functions are mandatory.
Use
You define partner determination procedures in SD Customizing through Functions -> Partner determinat.
u2022     In sales documents, for example, you can specify the partner determination procedure according to sales document type and item category. During order entry, the system first proposes partners from the customer master record of the sold-to party. If this information does not exist in the customer master, the system automatically proposes the mandatory partners from the partner determination procedure that you specify in the document header.
u2022     For billing documents, for example, you can specify a partner determination procedure where the sold-to party, bill-to party, and payer are mandatory but the ship-to party is not (for billing, you are more interested in who orders and pays for the goods than in who receives them).
Thanks and Regards,
Santanu
