Meaning of Partner Link Type, Partner Role, My Role

hi,
I am unable to get clearity about below terms, please explain me what does it means, I have also read developers guide.
Most of the time these values automatically gets selected but if I try to change it, I get confused
1.) Partner Link Type : Refers to the external service with which the BPEL process is to interface
2.) Partner Role : Refers to the role of the external source
3.) My Role : Refers to role of the BPEL process in this interaction
please explain with some example.
thanks
Yatan

Proper outbound plug configuration solves the issue. Object to be used should be BP_ACCOUNT

Asynchr Calls: Partner Role and My Role must be filled in Partner Link dial

Asynchr Calls: Partner Role and My Role must be filled in Partner Link dialog ?
Is the statement true?
Can I leave for synchronous calls one of the role spec vacant?
AFAIK only in asynchronous calls both drop down values must be specified.
Peter

Thanks for fast reply,
Yes, I defined Partner Role and My Role,and also defined a port type for calling back the request.
I just don't know what's the endpoint address which my asynch web service should use to response to my BPEL process.
Is there anyway to find out what's the endpoint address which the BPEL processes receive the callback response from asynchronous services?
Can I get the address which BPEL engine uses to get the responsse from a called web service?
I guess it should be an obvious work but I'm really disappointed with that.

Create new partner role type

Hi Guys
This one is from Traders' and Schedulers' Workbench from IS Oil and Gas Downstream.
I need to know whether we can create new partner role types (e.g. TSW011, TSW011, etc). The partner role types are maintained in table OIJRRT but I could not find a transaction to maintain this table.
Do I need to create the entries in the table directly? Will the system allow me? Has anybody tried this earlier?
Also, can anybody tell me what is the significance of Role differentiator type and how can we use it?
Many thanks in advance for all your time on this.

TS W as a standard has some partner roles, which can be assined to the TSW location or Transport system.
e.g. Carrier
Shipper
Supplier
Supplier in pipe
Receiver
Receiver in pipe
Consignee
Tanker
Inspector
Breakout S/L locational
Your partner role can be either of the following SAP entities : Vendor, Customer, Plant , Plant + SLoc
At a physical location, you can have multiple suppliers. In SAP, they are created as Vendors, and assigned to the TSW location as the 'Supplier' partner role. Another vendor may be assigned the 'Carrier' partner role at the location. Similary, a Plant can be assigned as a 'Supplier' partner role.
The same applies to Customers or Plant which can act as a 'Receiver' partner role at a diferent TSW location.
Once you have set-up the partners for the location, this data is used as a validating and defaluting source in the TSW documents.

Where can I create Partner Role type (TSW003-supplier) for TSW

HI IS OIL Expertise,
Where can I create Partner Role type (TSW003-supplier) for TSW?
Because while creating partner role @T Code: O4TQ @ Role Assignment” TSW003-supplier” not available on drop-down list.
please do needful on this.
Thanks
Chandra

Hello Chandrasekhar
As you know that Partner Role is -
"The master data record of a partner role is used to define a business partner. The partner role includes information about the activities that the business partner can carry out and where the business partner carries out these activities. Stock-holding objects, such as plants and storage locations can also be defined as partner roles."
According to your screen shot and question, you want to define the TSW003 which only shown when you enter Vendor code in initial screen i.e. O4TQ.
Thanks

Business partner role type

hello friends
In which table i can get business partner roles .
I know about BUT100
i want Business Partner Roles like (sold_to_party,ship_to_party,bill_to_party)

Hi,
Though the requirement is not crystal clear, hope following solution meet your requirement ,
you can use following table
1) Enter your transaction number in object_id in table CRMD_ORDERADM_H
2) get guid from above table and pass it into CRMD_LINK
3) Get the set guid from CRMD_LINK and pass it into table CRMD_PARTNER
So you will get all the partners in transaction,

Business Partner Role Specific Field View in WebClient

Hello to everyone,
I have a question that really needs a answer. We are upgrading from SAP CRM v4 to SAP CRM v7.0 and as such we have a number of custom Business Partner Roles within the Person BP Type. Against these custom roles we have developed custom field and tabs in order to separate the content within the BP Role further.
After rolling off an implementation of SAP CRM v6.0 [2007], the following seems apparent:
- Assignment of Roles is done via an assignment block in the Customer Maintenance view.
- You can create Business Partners in different roles initially.
- You cannot maintain Business Partner details in specific roles
However, you cannot display the role specific fields as you can in the WinClient. As an example, a Citizen Role BP will have different fields to that of a Teacher, but these roles could be assigned to one Business Partner.
There does not seem to be any guidance as to how this is managed in the WebClient and as it seems a fundamental part fo the SAP CRM offering, you would have thought that this questions has been asked, but I have found no answers.
I really hope anyone can help and appreciate any time and effort put into solving my question.
Many Thanks,
MatFlat.

Hi MatFlat,
Yes, your observation is right - in the Web UI, fiel grouping is not implemented for roles. This is because the role concept is quite different between SAP Gui and Web UI.
In SAP gui, (CRM 4.0) roles had a functional meaning as well as a UI control. However, the concept was changed with Web UI. Now, roles have only a functional meaning, and no effect on the UI at all.
If you want to implement role based field grouping in Web UI, you need to define your own methods in the implementation class.
E.g : you can write code to influence the field properties based on the roles. I guess you can redefine the DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT methods of the impl class.
In order to get info about which roles the BP is maintained , you can use FM BUPA_ROLES_GET_2.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Rishu.

Confusing definition of My and Partner Role in PartnerLinks

Assume I create two BPEL processes: One producer and one consumer
Each of them needs a JMS adapter as partner services.
When I click in the producer BPEL process on the JMS adapter definition
then I have to specify:
Partner Link Type=Produce_Message_plt
Partner Role=Produce_Message_role
My role=not specified
When I click in the consumer BPEL process on the JMS adapter definition
then I have to specify:
Partner Link Type=Consume_Message_plt
Partner Role=not specified
My role=Consume_Message_role
The relationship between "My role" and "Partner role" is somehow asymetric and confusing.
at a first glance I would have said before: The view is always from the BPEL process side.
But why do I have to specify NO "My role" in the producer ?
When I try to specify "My role" as "Produce_Message_role" and leave
"Partner role" as not specified then I get errors.
Can somehow explain me what the logic behind should be ?
Peter

You need to look at it from a message type perspective. Is the message you are calling async, or sync
If the process is sync you need to specify both, this is calling a sync partner link.
PartnerRole=Invoke
MyRole=Receive
Async can be tricky. When you call a async Partner Link, e.g. JMS Adpater you typically only one operation exists.
PartnerRole=Invoke
You are telling the partner to use the Invoke operation.
Async can be fire and forget or you may want to wait for a response so you have to implement a Receive activity. In this case you are the consumer and there is no Partner Role operation
MyRole=Receive
So to keep it simple
Sync Invoke activity = Both
Async Invoke activity = PartnerRole
Async Receive activity = MyRole
cheers

Partner roles in PO

Hello gurus,
short and simple question (cannot test it myself right now):
I defined a partner determination procedure for a certain PO document type (e.g. with just one role).
Then I created a vendor master, but did NOT maintain any partner roles in it.
Now, if I create a PO for that vendor, SAP will still create one partner role in the PO with the vendors vendor number in it, correct?
So this means, there is no need to maintain the partner role for all existing partners, right?
Thanks
Alicia

Ok, I found out myself: Fact is, if there are no partner roles maintained in vendor master, the system automatically selects the vendor number as a partner in the PO. But there is a warning that the specific partner role has not been created in vendor master.
So, you do not really have to maintain partner roles in vendor master, but it will give you annoying warnings if you do not.

Partner roles in vendor master

Dear All,
we have raised a PO to vendor 400035, goods are supplied from vendor 400036 and invoice is received from vendor 400037. we have defined partner roles for vendor 400035(account group COMP).
VN-400035
GS-400036
IP-400037.
These partner roles are assigned to account group:
GS-0001- GOODS SUPPLIER
IP-0002-INVOICING PARTY
Defined partner schema H1 under partner settings in vendor master record.
this schema is assigned to account group COMP( That have vendor 4500035) at POrg, VSR, Plant Level.
Partner schema for purchasing document is defined.
it is assigned to document type.
ISSUE
1.When we are raising a PO the schema is appearing in partner Tab. The different invoicing party 400037 is pulled from vendor master record into PO. when doing MIRO, it is not appearing subsequently as the default value when invoice is posted. in MIRO it is appearing as 400035 instead of 400037.
2.same is the case in MIGO, in partner TAB 400035 is appearing instead of 400036.
please help on both issues where invoicing party should appear autimatically in MIRO and goods supplier in MIGO.
QUESTIONS
1. Is it necessary to have VN in schema. is the partner role VN required in schema. if VN is removed output determination doesnot take place.
2. what is difference between assigning vendor role to account group and to a document type? why it is required ?
can be use only one of them.
regards

Hi,
There are just 4 mandatory steps:
1: Define partner role
2: Define permisssable partner roles per account group
3: Define Partner Schemas
4: Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups
You have setup your partner determination on purchasing org level.
But you forgot that you create a purchase order on plant level, which is a lower (more detailed) level. If the higher level box is left blank in your partner determination setup, then SAP tries to find partner on plant level. As you don't have partner on plant level maintained in your vendor, SAP can't find the vendor.
IMG > Materials Management > Purchasing > Partner determination > Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents > Define Partner Schemas
select your partner schema and then double click Partner roles in schema on the left.
In the appearing screen you can see the colomn for higher level
Then create a fresh PO and check.
Go through the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/a1/7b373944f7a97ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Partner roles in Vendor master record

Hi all
can some one explain me how to enter the partner roles in vendor master record
In sap help i didnt understood this point
"When working with partner roles, you must maintain the following settings:
Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners of a vendor that are to be entered in that vendors master record."
what does it mean
suppose i am creating vendor master record 1234
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1234       /*ordering address
i have to click 1234 in BA and select 'parner' at the top to enter the ordering adress right ...
what is the 'Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners' mean
it has to be like this?
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1235       /*ordering address
1235 vendor master record is created earlier and ordering address maintained ??
please help me in this record, any user manual or some screen shots to explain how to maintain partner roles in vendor master record
regards
Bhushan.N

Hi Sasi ,
What Ramkrishna explained is correct. I will try to illustrate it with the example.
Suppose you are creating a vendor 1234 which is Head office of the supplier where you need to place the order. But goods will be supplied from Pune plant so you should enter 1235 againts partner function GS , here 1235 is seperate vendor master record with Pune plant details & it must exist in the system so that you can use it as a partner function Hope this has cleared your doubts.
Similarly you vcan create other partner functions like payee,ordering party etc.
Regards,
Anand

Partner Role not coming when creating the Vendor Master

Hi all
There is a standrd role AZ.
There is a standrd Partner Determination procedure L1.
The role AZ is assigned to the Partner Determination procedure L1.
When creating the vendor master in MK01 the role is not coming in the list of partner function.
For Document types there is a standard shema 0002.
The role AZ has also been assigned to doc type.
What can be the reason.
Is the assignment against doc type at all required.
Please suggest.
Regards

The procedure for setting partner functions:
Step 1
Vendor Account Group
IMG->LOGISTICS GENERAL->BUSINESS PARTNER->VENDOR->CONTROL ->DEFINE
ACCOUNT GROUPS AND FIELD SELECTION
Step 2
Defining Partner Schemas
IMG->MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER -> DETERMINATION -
>PARNER SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD
->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMAS
Step 3
Assign Partner Schema
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION->PARTNER
SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMA
« THEN ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMA
Step 4
Define Permissible Partner Role Per Account Group
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION -
>PARTNER ROLES ->DEFINE PERMISSION PARTNER ROLES
If you want a partner schema for your own document type then define your partner schema and assign to document type using the below mentioned path.
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER ->DETERMINATION -
>PARTNER SETTINGS IN PURCHASING DOCUMENTS ->DEFINE PERMISSION
PARTNER SCHEMAS
And then
ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMAS TO DOCUMENT TYPE
Once you have this configuration then you change your vendor in easy access menu (XK02-select partner function) define the partner roles.
