Hi
the Filed PARVW (Partner Function) from VBPA is used to find for a given sales order find who is the
BP    Bill-to party
PY    Payer
SH    Ship-to party
SP    Sold-to party
for a give sales document etc check whether u need to display this information in ur smartform /script or in your report.
u can find this information also in the VA03 in the HEADER and in the PARTNERS TAB also

Partner function in SRM and R3

hi Experts,
we are having SRM 7.0.(ECS).we have a requirement as mentioned below.
We maintain multiple Ordering adress(OA),IP in R3 for a vendor master.When we replicate this vendor ro SRM.we dont ahve this data copied to BP in SRM?
But we have a provision of definfing New partner fucntion and Partner schema in SRM.Can we link these partner functions with the ones in R3? If we configure the parnter functions and partner schema in SRM ,then we replciate vendors . At this time will the partner functions be transferred?
How can we use the partner function facility in SRM?
please send us your valuable points.
regards
subhash

Hi Subhash,
Business Process is as follow:
1. In ECC vendor has Ordering Partner, using standard functionalities
2. When a user is creating a Scheduling Agreement in ECC using these
vendors, the system is proposing the list of Ordering Address to be
selected
3. We replicate the Vendor Master Data from ECC to SRM
4. In the replication the relationship between Vendor and Ordering
Address is lost, but these are creating as two separated BP
5. When the user creates a contract in SRM using one of this vendor,
there is no proposal about the Ordering Address, only way is insert
manually in the Partners TAB in Header (but no search help is provided,
all the vendor are shown).
In SRM we do not have the option of selecting the Invoicing party or
Ordering address for a Purchase Order. This works only in R/3.
So the idea of maintaning the invoicing parties relationship for a
vendor does not have a neccessity.In SRM each of these Invocing parties
are replicated as BP and you can select the respective BP in the PO
depending on your preference for the invoicing party.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Creation of partner functions for customer master with LSMW

Hello,
I try to create partner functions together with a customer via Batch Input in LSMW.
Object: 0050, method: 0000, program name: RFBIDE00, program type: B.
I use the structure BKNVP (Customer master partner functions) to create a new partner and set values for the fields KTONR and PARVW.
When I start the batch input the fields are filled in correctly in a new dynpro. After the confirmation of these values the dynpro changes back to the partner functions sscreen, but the value for KTONR isn'n being transferred. So I get an error message.
Is it only possible to update partner functions with that BI or what is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance and regards
Alex

Hi Alex,
Could you specify what error message you are getting?
Thanks!

Automatic assignment of Partner Function (Dealer) based on Postal Code?

Hi Experts,
We are realizing a project in the Bathroom-Product Industry. Responsible for the service to the end-clients are authorized dealer. When creating a service ticket the responsible dealer has to be assigned automatically to the ticket on the basis of the postal code where the IBase (the product) is installed.
The process is:
1. The client is calling the Interaction Centre and first the IC Agent has to identify the account and the Installed Base (The installed base contains the postal code where the product of the client is installed) of this account.
2. An Interaction Record is created to record this inbound call.
3. Afterwards a Service Ticket is created as a follow-up Document of the Interaction Record. In the moment of the creation of the Service Ticket the correct dealer has to be assigned automatically to the Service Ticket (as a Partner Function not as a Service Organization) on the basis of the postal code of the installed base.
I have the following question! Which are the steps to assign automatically a Business Partner Function to a Service Ticket? We also need to create a Z-Table with the postal codes for which every dealer is responsible.
Example:
Dealer 1 is responsible for the postal codes: 08040 - 08045 and 08056 - 08059. If a client is calling and his product (Installed Base) is installed in Postal Code 08042 or 08054 the dealer 1 has to be assigned to the service ticket.
I hope I could make myself clear ;-)? Anybody can give me a hint how to do that? What are the basic steps?

Slightly similiar, originally being an R/3 customer before implementing CRM our dealer equated to sales office.
In the CRM Org model (PPOMA_CRM) in the attributes of the sales office we entered the Regions & Postal codes for that dealer (pain in the arse to do) and in CRM the sales office in the org creates a BP.
We used a org rule for the IR record based on country, region, postal code to determine the appropriate sales org, DC, div, and sales office based onthe zip code. We created a custom partner function to represent the partner number of the BP from the org model. Then we configured a custom relationship "ZORG" "Is partner of sales office" and went into the BP master and assigned the actual dealer number as a partner to BP from the org model that = sales office. From that we configured a custom access sequence to pull the actual dealer number from the org model office relationships.
We looked at territory management, but our dealer is an "org BP" and territory management appeared to want to drive to a person BP number.

Problem in creation of partner function creation.

Hi all,
During customer Master upload using LSMW direct method, Iam getting this problem.
while creating Sales view using XD01, three partner function VE (Sales Representative), SH (Ship-to party), ZI (Front Office) are getting displayed in the last tab of sales view creation.
Because of some customizing,value for SH is getting populated automatically. But the values for VE & SH are not getting populated from the flat file.
But the values are present in the respective field (KTONR) and able to see in the display convert data.
If I enter the manual value during runtime in LSMW, it accepts the value. Since it involves huge amount of data, manual entry for records is not possible.
Kindly provide the solution.
Regards
Narasingam.B

This problem can be solved by proper customizing.

I can not see all "Divisions" in BP Rel.--Partner Function Assignment

Hi,
When I edit "Partner Function Assignment" in BP reliationship such like BUR011("Employee Responsible"),
I can not see all "Divisions" in list which I can see in configuration via SPRO-->Customer Relationship Management->Master Data->Orgnizational Management->Division Setting->Define Divisions.
E.g., in configuration, I can see 7 records of divisions from "001" to "007", but in "Partner Function Assignment" of BP relationship, I can only see "002" to "004".
Do you know why? Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Long

hi
that should not be happening,if they are visible in one client then should be there in another too
do one things try run this
hrbc1_atributes_buffer_update
it will refresh the buffers of your org structure and then you may be able to add this
also check the check box where it is mentioned that"object determination should be permitted"
remember it will run only for once after you run this the check box will be unchecked again
i guess it may solve your probs
also try to structure your org structure index
use t code
crmd_index_om
and withtin the object type give O
and execute
best regards

Can we view SH's partner functions in Sales Order?

Hi All,
SP has a different SH and FA is assigned to SH in master record. When we create order we can see all the partner functions of SP but we can't see partner functions of SH. User wants to see which FA is assigned to SH. We can only view partner functions of SH in delivery document. Is it possible to view partner functions of SH in sales order as well? Please suggest the ways to configure this setting.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Yes, you can view . Check the Partner determination procedure, include the partner function SH to your partner determination procedure assigned for your sales order.

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.

Partner functionality in release order

Dear Gurus,
I have created a contract with partner functionality.
I created a Purchase Requisition referring contract (Using source of supply). I need to create Po in ME21N by adopting PR. System copies all the other details but not partner details. I need to enter partner details manually in PO.
But When I create a PO in ME21N by adopting the same contract, partner details are automatically copied from contract.
Please suggest me what should I do If my PO should copy partner details of contract (while creating PO adopting PR)
Regards,
Sastry

i hope , if u have created the vendor master , then PO will take all details of partner form vnedor master .
SO check the which details u are updating manually, the same as its maintained in master data or not.
IF not maintain it in vendor master .

PO and partner functions of a contract

Hello,
We have the following problem:
In our system, we maintain partner functions in the partner functions of the vendor.
And for this vendor we have a contract. However, we don't maintain partner functions in the contract.
But when we create a PO for the vendor and the contract, the system looks for partner function in the contract and doesn't look any more for the partner functions in the vendor. but, as we have no partner functions in the contract....partner functions in PO are empty.
I can't find customizing point to indicate that we don't want to look partners functions in contract. Is it possible?
Thanks,

the data is always taken from the most specific source, which is the contract in your case. it is not possible to use contracts and omit at the same time the partners (or not available partners) from the contract.

Question on Contract - Partner function

Hi all
For eg.
I created a CONTRACT in ECC and its vendor as VN 11111 ( OA ORDERING ADDRES 22222.)
Later Vendor master team changes in the vendor OA as 33333 from OA 22222 for VN 11111.
Can I expect the same changes in ME33K , HEADER , partner -> porg -> OA as 33333 or OA as 22222?
can i see the vendor master data changes in ECC contract.
that means when i create a PO w.r.t my contract , This PO should pick as OA 33333 but it picks ordering as old OA 22222?
is it right fuctionality?
appreciate your quick help.
BR
Muthu

Thanks Arun
Old one needs to be manually corrected. And transactional data takes precedence over the master data.
Old one needs to be manually corrected - where plese be specific. in the bendor master or contract.
my question is if i change in vendor master OA , i am expecting contract also must pic the same but it is not happening.
can you refhrase the answer.
should i change the partner function via contract -hetail-partner details?
what does mean only one needs to be manually corrected IN VENDOR MASTER OR CONTRACT?

Hi Experts,

Thanks & Regards
V.Srinivas

Hi V.srinivas,
For Order Replication from ECC system to CRM system your Configurations for both the system must be Coinciding.
Hope your Partner Function Determination in ECC and CRM are also maintained the Same way,else check for the Determination of Sub-Partner Function determination (Ship to Party,Bill to Party..) in ECC and CRM the way its maintained.
The Main Problem arising in your Order is after replication from ECC System your Sub-Partner Functions aren't getting Determined,
Check for the Partner Determination Procedure in CRM for the Sub-Partners and try to Determine them from your Main Partner Function e.g. Sold to Party.
Hope it Solves your Query..

Partner function at shipment

Hi Experts,
Kindly advise on the below issue.
Currently in VT01N(create shipment) when we enter FwdAgent and other details like shipping cond. ,at "Partner tab" partner function SP Transporter comes by default/automatically that is nothing but my FwdAgent.
Now we want TS Tpt. Service tax should also comes automatically/default as SP Transporter comes,
Please advise how to acheive this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dharminder dalal

Hello,
The Service Agent is copied automatically from Delivery Document Based on the Copy Routine assigned in Shipment Document Type in Shipment Document Type.
But for Service Tax, you will have to maintain Condition Records in Shipment Pricing Procedure. Actually you will have to configure Shipment Pricing Procedure similar to Sales Order Pricing Procedure.
The IMG link for the same is IMG - Logistics Execution - Transportation - Shipment Costs - Pricing - Pricing Control.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Mandatory partner function at sales order item level

Hi all,
I'm customizing partner schema at item level for sales order. I have created a custom partner function, I put it in a new sales order item partner procedure and i set this partner function as mandatory (I want that system show me a message if this function is missing at item level in sales order). This partner function is defined only at sales order item level (not at header level or customer master).
If i create and save a sales order with an item type that use the item partner procedure I have created, system don't show me any message for the item custom partner function missing, else if it is set as mandatory in sales order item partner procedure.
I have read some posts in these forums about this functionality, but it seems a different situation.
Someone had a similar type of problem?
Thank you in advance for any possible suggestion.
Regards
Gianpaolo

Hi,
First you have to create a new partner function.
Then assign that partner function to the account group.
Then assign that partner function to partner determination procedure for the item category.
Over here click on the mandatory button also.
Then assign that partner determination procedure to item category.
Then to XD02 and give your customer number and in the partner tab maintain the data for that partner function.
Now go to VA01 and create your sales order you will see you partner function.
If you wont have maintained it in the customer master then it will prompt an error.

Error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU"

Hi Experts,
I'm having these error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU" (message VN041) when I tried to assign a partner function (e.g OA) in the conditions records for application "EV" (Purchase outline agreement). The system do not allow me to do this for any doc type (LP, LPA, MK, OA, etc). I'm using t-code NACE or MN08.
I want to assign partner for key combination "Document Type". The conditions is already there but with no value, so I want to assign partner function "OA" or "VR".
I already check all the configuration and looks fine. For example, define possible partner functions for output type "NEU" for application "EV" (Purc outline agree).
Hope you can help me to find the problem.
Thanks,
Mairo.

I have the error in NACE or using tcode MN08.
As soon I executed those transaction the system shows the condition records created for varios Doc Type (e.g LP, LPA, MK, etc) but with no partner function assigned. For example:
Doc. Type / Name                     /             Funct /   Partner     /            Medium / Date/time /   Language
LP        /       Scheduling Agreement     / blank / blank /                                          2      /          3   /              EN
LPA      /      Scheduling Agreement                              / blank    / blank   /                1        /       3         /        EN
For example, I try to assign function "OA" for Doc. Type "LP", choose value from quickpick. Then when I press enter, the system give me the error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU", message no. VN041. Do not allow me to continue, so I have to leave this field blank, with no change.
Thanks,
