Partner determination at plant level

at present we are having partner determination at p.org level and plant level.
In our business we have a one vendor with 2 ordering addresses for 2 of our plants.
we had maintained these ordering address at vendor master --plant level.
when we are creating manual PO system is picking up the order address where as when we are creating automatic PO using ME59N transaction system is picking partner function maintained at p.org level rather than maintained at plant level.
plz suggest the solution.

Hi,
Check the intial requriment are there r not like source list before craeting the PO.
Check whether the Partner function are maintained at plant level in XK03 in partner fuctions selection field and also check whether you had ticked the data revel at plant level allowed.
Hope this will hep you.

Partner Determination at various levels....

Hi,
Partner Determination is possible at Customer Master level, Sales Document level , Item level etc....
During the sales order creation, the partner functions are taken from the Customer master... if yes, then what is the necessity of sales document level, item level partner determination....??? Also, if partner determination can be made possible at all levels then which takes the priority???
My second query is:
In customizing it is possible to determine the Ship to party based on the Sold party and also based on the Ship to party, the Forwarding Agent is determined....Where exactly the setting is done...????
Third query:
An analysis function is provided for tracing automatic automatic determination of business partners in sales documents..... Where is it possible ????
Regards

Hi,
your first question:
partner determination assignment vary as per your requirement. in general you assign it to account groups for customer master. for others like sales order/dlivery/billing, you only need to assign these if your requirement varies on delv/billing creation. take the exapmple of value contracts, here in general you assign the PD process KAB) to sales document type(WK1).
second:
this can be done, as you have already maintained the same. like take the example of order creation. if you just put SH data without putting the SP, the system will take the SP from the SH' master record (if you have maintained these for that SH)
Third:
as far as i know there is no analysis function for partner determination in sales document, like we have for material determination, listing/exclusion/freegoods and output.

Partner determination at item level in sales order

Dear experts,
I have 2 payers in customer master(sold to party). Is it possible to determine the partner function (Payer) at the item level in a sales order? I need to generate 2 billing documents with 2 line items. (1) Delivery related billing document (Item1) for which I want to bill to Payer 1. and (2) Order related billing document (item2) for which I want to bill to Payer 2.
Currently the in the above process I am able to do it manually by changing the partner (payer) at the item level.
Can the partner determination happen automatically based on the line items (Item category)? If possible, can it be restricted to document type?

Dear Friend,
The best option would be to enter / change the Payer manually in Partner Function.
Or the other option is as you have entered 2 payers in Customer Master for a single sold to party, sustem woild be give a pop-up for selecting one of two Payer while creating Sales Order. But still you will have to change the Payer at Item Level...
Also if Ship to Party is different then we have some option...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Account determination at plant level

Hi All,
There is a requirement: we have 1 cocode and 10 plants are assigned to it. Valuation is to be at plant level.
There are around 15 valuation classes. While doing config for account determination, do i need to assign each combn of valuation modifier and valuation class to a different GL account for stock postings i.e. BSX ?
Thanks
Ritu
Edited by: ritu on Dec 24, 2007 8:12 AM

Hi Ritu
G/L accounts will differenciate the accounts which u procure the matls. If u maintain the same G/L account for all valuation class, for all types of materials system wil show same gl account .This will confuse the accounts person. u should differentiate the matls.
Mainthing is gl accounts to be defined by accounts people based on business process.
For ex: If u maintain same gl accounts for raw matl and finished goods, accounts guy wants to check the price that how much raw matl consumed on this month. what he wil do he will check based on gl account.
if u use "transxn event key" or "general modifier" you r more specifying the gl accounts for ur business transactions.
Finally if u want to differentiate accounts u have to maintain different gl account.
In ur case maintain one valuation grouping code for all plants and assign to ur company code and ur chart of account.
Maintain different gl account for ur valuation class and ur valuation grouping code.
For any clarification plse rewert back.
reward if useful.

Block Partner determination at Item level

Hi All,
I dont want the partners to be automatically determined at the item level for certain partner functions like Employee responsible. To achieve I have checked on the "Block Determination" check box and have also no entry selected in the access sequence drop down for the partner function in the procedure. However the partners are being determined based on the entries at the header level.
How do i stop this from happening? Am i missing some config here?
Thanks
Reddy

Hello Reddy,
I think the issue is caused by the partner inheritance process. Please conisder note 1008458 very carefully. It looks like the the inheritance from header to item is switch on, therefore you get the same partner functions on item level. According to the note you have to set a the parameter in table smofparsfa.
I hope this information will help you.

Partner Determination/Organization Structure

Hi,
I wanted to understand how through partner determination procedure relevant Service Team can be assigned. You can use example of Standard Service Order Transaction SRVO, Standard Partner Determination Procedure 00006, Standard Access Sequence 011 Executing Service Organization, Standard Organization determination rule 1000278 and organization structure 50004983 to explain the connection.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
The description of rule 10000278 says,"
This rule should be used for partner determination via the orgdata model.
It delivers on the basis of orgattribute <H>executing
service organizations</>
It is intended
- for partner determination at item level
- for service items
- when using products in the service item
Executing service organizations are all
in the orgdata model with the following characteristics:
- Service Scenario
- Indicator for executing service organization is set.
These partners are filed as partners of the partner function
category executing service organization in the
transaction.
For example, org data determination is set up in the container after
the postal code and product.

Prashant

Partner determination at shipment stage level

Dear All,
We would like to have multiple partner functions determined for a shipment stage within the shipment. Stages are maintained for the shipment route. But we dont want to maintain the service agent at stage level inside the route in IMG. This only determines one partner at stage level. We need multiple partners. Which exit can help here? I dont think normal partner determination exit can be used here like EXIT_SAPLV09A_004 as it is not called in shipment. Please suggest.
Best Regards
Dinesh

Hi,
I am sure whether it will helpful to you or not
Kindly check the menu path SPRO --> Sales & Distribution ---> Basic Functions --> Partner Determination -- > Set up Partner Determination -- >Set Up Partner Determination for Shipment

Plant as a Vendor in Partner Determination

Hi
In the Partner tabs, I need to determine the Plant as a vendor.
Do I need to create a relationship of the Plant with BP. If yes, what should be the relationship category? I am using "has undefined relationship".
To determine the Plant in Partners tab as one of the Partner, In access sequence, I have used the source as "Business Partner relationships" with the details on the source as Partner function - Sold to party.
In the partner determination procedure, I have assigned this Access seq, with function as Vendor.
While executing the transaction, I am not getting the Vendor determined automatically.
Any inputs would be helpful.
thanks
Yash

Yash,
In order to determine the plant as the vendor you need the following elements established:
1. Plants setup as business partners in CRM
2. Plant relationship to business partners in CRM. You will need to create a new relationship category in order to set this part up. Use transaction BUBA to setup the new category. The role of the corresponding partner should be "vendor". Now assign the plants to your business partner using the new relationship category.
3. Configure your partner determination procedure to pickup the vendor from the relationship category you defined before.
I have done something similar with a completely "custom" partner function so, this should probably work for something more standard like a vendor.
Good luck,
Stephen

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.

Partner Determination in PO and OBDLV

Hey @ all,
what I am trying to do right now is to implement a simple, customer specific partner determination procedure. For that I want to add a partner role and partner to an purchase order on header level.
The only place I found where I could add this partner is in BAPI_PO_CREATE1. But this BAPI is not used when I create a PO with the GUI (ME21N).
So do you have an idea, where I could add a an additional partner to the PO (User-Exit, Badi, Enhancement Spot ...)?
The same thing I want to do with the outbound delivery (VL01N). There is User-Exit MV50AFZ1 available. But there is the question: How do I add a partner within this user exit (structures to edit...).
Thanks for you help in advance,
Rolf
Edited by: Rolf Kasel on Mar 10, 2010 1:57 PM

Hi,
   If its specific to plant and vendor, then check whether the plant specific partner function has been activated.
   Go to MK02 - partner function and go to menu - extras - Add. purchasing data and check whether "Data retent. at plant level allowed" flag is marked as shown below.
   If so, go to menu - extras - Alternative data.
Click on partner details:
Here, system will show plant specific partners.
   Here, maintain the partner function PI for the plant and check the scenario again.
Another option would be to maintain the higher level search flag in the partner function configuration as highlighted below:
   Now, system will search partners at purchase organization level, if no partner function is found at plant level.

Item Partner Indicator at Item level

Hi,
We have two item in sales order.For second item user make following changes,
Requirements type changed
MRP area changed
Business Area changed
Material Number changed
Checking Group for Availability Check changed
Net price changed
Profit Center changed
Tax classification material changed
Shipping Point/Receiving Point changed
Plant (Own or External) changed
He has not done any changes in Partner Tab at Item level,then also indicator has been set for Item Partners.
He has not done any changes at Header Partners too.
Could you please help how this indicator has been set even he has not done any change in Partner TAB.
Is this indicator depends on other item level fields in sales order?
Thanks,
Lalit

In VA02, after entering the sales order number, go to menu Environment ->changes. Here you can find the details on whether the item partner has been changed by the users or not. Alternatively you can execute t.code AUT10 and check the change details. If the partner is changed manually (even address changes made), then the flag item partner is checked by the system.
For further details read OSS Note 380507 - SD partner determination: FAQ for the functions -POINT 2

MCHB,MARD - Stock available at plant level and storage location level

Hi ,
How to determine how much stock available at Storage location level and Plant level. (Lot is not maintained).
In MCHB-Stock at lot level is shown.
In MARD-Stock at Storage Location level is shown lncluding
the stock maintaned at the lot level.
If i want to know the stock which is not maintained in Lot, i.e, Stocks directly maintained at Storage location / Plant.
Do I need to subtract the MCHB Value from MARD Value ?
Is there any other way available to find the stocks which is not maintained at lot level.
Regards
Prasath

Hi prashant,
What do u mean by stock maintained at SL level without batch level. Do u mean that some materials are subjected to batch management and some or not?
If that is the case, for all batch managed materials, u can see the stock at batch level and also same is summed up at SL level. But still what ever u are getting from MARD table isstock at SL level only.
If u have activated batch management for any material, it will always be shown at lot level also.
hope this clarfifies query
