How to define a new partner function?

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
we are using ECC6.0, I just want to ask how we can define or create a new partner function?
Best regard!

Hi
Tang
Use Tcode  VOPA
Partner function
Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and a description for a partner function.
Partner type
The partner type is an indicator which informs you of the type of partner, for example, partner type customer "KU".
Currently, you cannot change the partner types in customizing. You canonly select the partner types that are included in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Error group
Using the error group, you assign an incompletion procedure to a partner function (see section "Incompletion log").
Higher-level function
For a partner function, you can specify the higher-level partner
function. In this way, you can portray an existing dependency between the partner functions.
Unique in customer master record
If you characterize a partner function as unique, you can specify it only once in the customer master record.
The sold-to party has to be unique in the customer master record whereas you may specify several contact persons.
Customer hierarchy type
In this field you can specify whether a partner function can be used for a customer hierarchy. Enter the customer hierarchy type permitted
for the partner function. Refer to the section "Define hierarchy types
and assign to account groups".
Convert functions
If you work with several languages in the sales and distribution
system, you can carry out a language-dependent function conversion.
This means you can display the internal key definition, for example, AG, WE, and so on, differently on the screen depending on the logon language of the user. For example, you can display the key CU as AG when logged on in German. (The conversion is necessary because the partner functions such as AG, WE are partially hardcoded in the programs.)
Thx.

  • How to add a new partner function as a characteristics in COPA

    Hi There,
    Can you help please.
    I am trying to add an existing SD partner function called End Customer as a characteristic in CO-PA. End Customer is not defined in the CO-PA PAPARTNER structure.
    1 Sold To Party can have more than 1 End Customers. In such cases, during sales order creation, users will be prompted to select the End Customers. I need to extract the End Customer information into CO-PA as what is being specified on the sales order.
    Appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this..
    Many thanks in advance...
    Cheers
    HW.

    Hi Warwick,
    I've had a look at the SAP.Help Library - i am ok with the steps of adding the characteristics into COPA, no problems on this step.
    My question was around adding a partner function into a PA structure - PAPARTNER. The End Customer is not defined in the PAPARTNER structure - hence, I cant easily create a new characteristic using the transfer from SAP table or derivation rules.
    I need to find a way to extract the End Customers from the sales document, add that into the PAPARTNER structure and then create a new characteristics referencing that table.
    I've been looking at OSS 32878, 36557 and 12682 - and am slightly confused.
    Has anyone tried this before?
    The system is ECC 6.0.
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Hi All,
    There is a new partner functions been defined for a customer apart from soldto,shipto,payer,billtoparty partner functions.
    The new partner functions is Sales head.
    And how to i bring the sales head information from the customer master from r/3 to bw?
    Do i need to create a new zobject nor enhance the customer master ? nor simply create an sales head object in bw and define the characteristics as Reference characteristics??
    pls help me !!
    Thanks
    Pooja

    Hi,
    You should enhance the standard Data source 0customer_attr with that additional partner function (sales head) as per the proper logic and replicate the same . if it is 3.5 that same object( related to that field length and data type) same object can be added as attribute at info object level and do the transfer rules   and activate that and try to the load.
    Thanks & Regards,

    HI,
    normally it should work fine if you followed SAPNET note 36557 + corresponding. If it is freight cost where the problem occurs, see SAPNET note 411032. See also 93658, maybe thats helpful.

  • New partner functions for datasource 0CRM_SRV_IBASE_ATTR

    Hello,
    in note 874267 is described how to implemention new partner function in datasource 0CRM_SRV_IBASE_ATTR. But i doesnt know how get the structure iba_partner in the badi. Is there are function modul simulare like CRM_BADI_GET_BDOC.
    Regards
    Sven Sende

    Hi Pramod,
    SMQ1 will only show an entry, when there are available data for the delta queue, i.e. someone has made a change or added new data.So checking RSA7 and SMQ1 will give the same result, if RSA7 shows more than 0 entries.
    The problem may be the init. What init did you do: an init with data, or an init without data, or an init with a filter. Experience with our CRM system tells me, best way to initialize any CRM data is to do a full data init (without filter) or a init without data (without filter). I wonder about the FULL load you mentioned ? When did you do it ?
    Kind regards,
    Jürgen

  • New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

    Hi CRM Gurus!,
      Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
    We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
    The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure". 
    These are the values. fro my new function:
    Function: ZSLFN004
    Text: Additional Processor
    Abbrev.: ZAMS
    Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
    Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
    Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
    The partner functions in my procedure are:
    00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
    00000046 Approved by (CRM)
    SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
    SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
    SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
    SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
    ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
    But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
    00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
    00000046 Approved by (CRM)
    SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
    SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
    SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
    SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
    I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
    By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Gustavo Balboa

    Hi Vishant,
      Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
    To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
    Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
    Regards
    Gustavo Balboa

  • Creation of new partner function through /AFS/BAPI_SALESORD_CHANGE

    Hi all,
    Can anybody help me to create partner functions through the bapi /AFS/BAPI_SALESORD_CHANGE ??
    In the selection-screen we will pass the vbeln, PARVW and kunnr values ??
    Any kind of little help is very much appreciated.

    thats all you need to pass to change the partner type like bill to or ship to.
    You dont create partner functions from this bapi. This is to change the sales order and the details in sales order. Creating partner function comes under SPRO.
    Ask you sales functional people to create new partner function

  • How to Define a new tax, same as WHT - 11i AP

    Hi,
    We use 11.5.8 Oracle Payables, We need to define a new tax (royalty tax) exactly similar to Withholding Tax.
    In the invoice distribution the tax line should be negative figure which will deduct the payment amount just like in WHT.
    Please let us know what type of Tax we should define to solve this and how to apply it in Invoices.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please let us know what type of Tax we should define to solve this
    You description of Scenario is indicating that you should withhold a part of Invoice amount i.e the Amount is inclusive of Invoice Amount.
    Hence I think WHT is suitable for you.
    and how to apply it in Invoices.
    Define Withholding Tax options in Payable Options window.
    Define a Withholding Tax Code and Group.
    Enable WHT at Supplier Site and assign particular Tax group to Supplier Header or Site as per requirement.
    Define Special Calender Withholding Tax.
    When supplier is selected at Invoice level, Withholding Tax group shall be automatically populated at invoice level, which will take care of Withholding at the time of Invoice Validation or Payment as per Options set.

  • How to define a new parameter

    Hi,
    I want to improve a search by defining a new parameter. This parameter will replace (1,2,3,4) which is show below.
    .. documentid IN (1,2,3,4)
    Is it possible to define such parameters in APEX/SQL? if so, how can I do it? (I have tried some possible solutions but I did not get a result.)
    (Oracle 10.2, APEX 3.2)
    Thanks in advance,
    Sedso
    Edited by: Sedso on Aug 6, 2011 12:49 PM

    I suppose you are talking about a report, right? I see 2 potential problems to be worked around:
    1- how to pass the comma in an URL parameter, without making APEX understanding it as a separator for multiple parameters?
    if you're running the report from a branch in other page, just check the 'save before branching' property.
    Otherwise you will have to escape the commas, replacing it by some other character (like a '*', for example) right before submitting the page - of course you will need to add a computation to decode the conversion made (from '*' back to ',') in your report, in a Before Page style.
    You can find more sophisticated solution at http://rokitta.blogspot.com/2009/07/apex-fp-syntax-with-flexible-parameter.html
    2- how to utilize the parameter in the context of your query?
    I'd suggest to create a dynamic query, like in the tutorial http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/dynamic-report-092026.html
    The query could be something like:
    declare
    q varchar2(4000);
    begin
    q:=' select col1, ';
    q:=q||' col2, ';
    q:=q||' col3 ';
    q:=q||' from tabela ';
    q:=q||' where documentid IN ' ||:p_in_clause '; -- like '(1,2,3,4)'
    return q;
    end;

  • How to define error message for function based index violation?

    Hi,
    I am generating Forms 6i from Designer 6i. I have a function based index to enforce case insensitive name uniqueness. With check constraints I can specify constraint violation error messages that will be displayed in Forms at runtime if needed. How can I do this with function based index constraints?
    Regards,
    Tamas

    OK, problem sorted.
    You need to create a check constraint with the same name as the new index, but don't enable it.
