Necessity of the Partner Determination Procedure at Item Level

Hi Gurus,
What is the necessity of the Partner Determination Procedure at Item Level and in what case it is useful?
Regards,
Sarosh.

Dear,
It may happen that in a business transaction the partner in the document header does not apply to all items, for example, if specific goods for a customer are normally delivered to another ship-to party.
In sales documents and billing documents you can enter one of the deviating partners from the document header at item level.
You have planned to have the partner function in the partner determination procedure for sales document items or billing items.
When creating a document , the system copies the document header partners to the items. If you want to define another partner than the one in the document header at item level, overwrite the proposal from the item partner screen.
You have planned the partner function ship-to party in the partner determination procedure in Customizing for sales document items and have defined this as changeable.
Create a customer sales order as usual.
The system copies the partner from the customer master into the document header and then from the document header into the items.
Select the item, that should receive a deviating partner.
Choose Goto --> Item --> Partners.
The partner screen for the item appears. Here you can overwrite the changeable partner functions.
Try to read the SAP help. U will find some more info.

Assign partner determination procedure to Item Category/Sales document type

Hello All,
How can I assign a partner determination procedure to an item category or sales document type? That field is disabled in item category config step. Please suggest.
Thanks,
lavanya

HI Lavanya,
The partner determination will happen through a different way and not through item category definition.
The path would be
S&D->MAster Data->Bussiness partners->customers->Customer hierarchy->set partner determination for hirearchy categories.
In this you will have one option to define by item category.
Hope this helps.

Partner Function- Sales Order item level

Hi Gurus,
I want to assigne Partner function -Employee responsible at sales order item level.
i did the configuration settings and i am able to assigne the employee numner at sales order item level but i am not able to assigne partner function-employee resp more than 1. i want to assigne N number partner function- Emp Resp.
kindly tell me the p

Hi sumith
As you want to assign N number of employees at item level . first of all go to IMG->sales and distribution ->basic functions->partner determination procedure->partner determination procedure at item level
While doing partner determination procedure at item level don't check the boxes when you assign to your partner determination procedure. and just assign the sales Employee partner function apart from the standard partner functions.(SP,SH,BP,PY).
Now when you create the sales order and manually you can assign the sales employee number for all items.

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

Error in CHARM_CREATE when using a Z partner determination procedure

Hi,
I use SDCR and needed to create a new partner determination procedure ZDCR0001. I don't need to change anything else in this Change Request transaction type, so everything else is standard. When I run CHARM_CREATE now, the program is using the partner determination procedure instead of the text determination procedure SDCR0001 in order to get the text ids, and then I have an error: Text determination procedure ZDCR0001 does not exist.
I noticed that there is a problem in the standard code of CHARM_CREATE:
*&      Module get_data_0101 OUTPUT
      Retrieve the Data to get different text types                  *
MODULE get_data_0101 OUTPUT.

This function module is for getting texts, but uses the partner procedure. I created a message and sent to SAP, but they say they don't have this error there. Has any of you had the same problem? I could not find any note to correct this code. I have SP 17 for ST.
Thanks,
Raquel.

Partner determination procedure assignment not possible

Hi All,
1) I had created the partner determination procedure
2) Created partner function in procedure
But while doing partner detremination procedure assignment i am unable to that and not able to create the new group customer account group, while doing so getting the message "This function is not possible"
Please guide me how i to proceed further with this setting.

1. Set up partner determination procedure.
The first checkbox is to make the partner u201CNot Modifiable,u201D that is, once it is in the
customer master record it cannot be changed. Generally, this is only used for the Sold-to
Party.
The second checkbox is to make the partner function mandatory, that is, the partner
must be determined or manually entered in the customer master record.
2. Assign Partner functions to the partner determination procedure
3. Assign the Partner determination procedure to the customer account group.
4. Assign individual partner functions to the account group

Is it possible to call dynamically a Partner Determination Procedure?

Hi Experts,
we are using the Interaction Record in the IC Scenario (SAP CRM 7.0). As we only can use one transaction type to fulfill so that the IC Agents can fullfill their daily work we need to call different kind of partner determination procedures depending on the field Conc-Key ubicated in Context Node BTSUBJETF.
Example:
If Value of Field Conc-Key is '1' the partner determination procedure Z0000001 should be called.
If Value of Field Conc-Key is '2' the partner determination procedure Z0000002 should be called.
Any ideas where to start?
Best Regards
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
PDP has access seq. maintained for each partner func. inside it. This access seq. inform system which partners to look for depending on source partner. PDP is triggered only Once and when the document of particular transaction type is created . Hence I don't think we can call PDP dynamically and have them executed depending on some value conditions...this is my personal opinion.
I think in your scenario, You must add the partners programatically on your value condition. However, in this case, You will need to have your partner data with you..i mean system will not find a partner on it own as defined in PDP.
I would be very much interested to know if we can achieve PDP functionality dynmically..so keep posted if you succeed in that approach
Wish you all the best.

Define Partner Determination Procedure With Filter?

Hello in SPRO you can define the partner determination procedure:
SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Define Partner Determination Procedure
Here you can define a partner for instance for our sales team in the opportunities module I have defined some partners
and then I can go to partner functions in procedure and give the access sequence such as 1000 preceding document or 0008 Preceding Document->User.
But my question is, is it possible to have a partner appear based on the Opportunity expected value or other fields within the opportunity? For instance, I want our Vice President to be included in the assignment block of Partners "Sales Teams" if the value of the opportunity is greater then a certain amount of money.
So has anyone ever created partner determination members based on values of say the opportunity module?

Jon,
Here is an easier approach which you can achieve your requirement thru actions.
1) Create an action "Add Partner" ( activate schedule automatically, processing time: Using selection reprot)
2) Take process type as methodcall.
3) Implement EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF badi. In the method execute, read the opportunity value. You can use CRM_ORDER_READ FM to do so.
4) Compare this value against the threshold value.
5) If step 4 is successful, call an approproiate FM to insert the partner function in the opportunity. CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN will do. But you can search for a more performance friendly FM.
6) Include the action thus defined in the profile attached to you opportunity transaction type.
7) schedule program RSPPFPROCESS (TCode: CRMC_ACTION_JOB) with a variant in which action definition is the action defined in step 1 AND promotion status is 0 and 2.

Characterstics group in a partner determination procedure

Hi
How do I define characteristics group in a partner detrmination procedure?
Thanks
Tarang

Hi Tarang,
Charateristic groups are created in SPRO, the path is as mentioned below:
CRM->Basic Functions  Partner Processing  Partner Teams  Create Characteristics Groups and Ratings
Here you create characteristics group, maintain characteristics for this group and maintain characteristic values.
And these groups are assigned to the partner functions in the partner determination procedure.
They can be seen in the Buying centre tab in opportunity transaction.
In the buying center, select the partner and select u2018Maintain attributesu2019.

Assign partner determination procedure for campaign automation

Dear all,
could anyone help me how to set up Partner determination in CRM? I try to create campaign automation and when I want to release it I get this error message:
Diagnosis
Campaign 1: Parties involved have been assigned to this marketing project. However, there is no partner determination procedure assigned to type "Product Promotion" (Z002).
System Response
The partner determination procedure is determined from the type. If you select a type that does not have a partner determination procedure assigned to it in Customizing although parties involved are assigned to the marketing project, the assigned parties involved cannot be validated. You therefore need to choose a type with a partner determination procedure assigned if parties involved are assigned to the marketing project.
Afterwards I§m not allowed to save the campaign changes and to release the campaign.
Please, how can I assign the Partner determination procedure?
Thank you very much
Michal

Hi,
For setting up partner determination procedure for Campaign, goto transaction spro.
Choose CRM->Marketing ->Marketing Planning and Campaign Management
In here, please expand the node 'Partner Processing'. There is IMG documentation help available on how to set up PDP.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sreenivas,
Partner determination use
In this activity, you define the rules that should be used to perform automatic partner determination.
1. Define the partner functions that differentiate the roles of
     partners in your system.
2. Define the partner determination procedure, and assign the key of the relevant partner object to this Procedure.
3. Assign the partner functions you define to the account groups.
Output Determination Purpose
The Output Determination component offers output functions for sales, shipping, transportation, and billing to help you manage sales transactions with your customers and within your company. You can create sales activity output (for example, customer telephone calls, mailing campaigns) and group output (for example, freight lists). Your company employees can send and receive output. Output is directly linked to the corresponding sales transaction (for example, the system automatically sends an order confirmation via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as soon as the employee
Texts Purpose in Sales and Distribution
In a business relationship, it is essential that business partners exchange information throughout the logistics chain. In sales and distribution, this exchange of information is supported by texts in master records and documents. You can maintain these texts for one particular customer or define them so that they can be used more flexibly.
Texts can be used in many areas of sales and distribution:
Sales notes for customers
Sales texts for materials
Explanations in order confirmations
Shipping instructions in deliveries
You can define as many text types as you require (sales texts, shipping texts, internal notes, supplement texts etc.) for master records and documents.
You can take the settings for the texts from Sales and Distribution Customizing under Text control.
Delivery split
Regarding Delivery split you can control through copy control routines in the VTLA transaction.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
