Partner Determination for Output

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to generate two output when a PO is created. One for the external vendor and the other output for the user who created the PO. Please help me with the config steps.
Thank You in advance.
Regards
Kumar

Yes it is possible through config. For that you have to setup complete output determination procedure in SPRO. Follow the steps as under:
1. First check there you must have an output determination procedure already defined in your system, considering NEU.
2. Then you have to create condition table (eg. 505) let us say for Purch. grp/Doc. type, with selected fields as Purchasing Group and Purchasing Doc. Type.
3. Assign this table to access sequence already available for tables 025, 026 or 027.
4. Define new output type (Let us say EXTR) for external vendor with proper Transmission Medium so as to send mail copy to vendor and complete the message determination schema as defined for NEU.
5. Assign this access sequence to to message type.
6. Now maintain condition record in MN04 for newly created output type with key combination as Output determination: Purch. grp/Doc. type.
7. There define your doc type alongwith other parameters as required and save it.
Now let us say you have maintain NB with Purch grp ABC in table 505 for output type EXTR using MN04 and there is already available entry for output type NEU with doc type as NB.
You can check these values in tables B026/B025/B027 and B505 (just defined condition table)
Now while creating PO with doc type NB and Pur Grp as ABC you will have two output type.
Hope you this will help you.

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.

Hi Ajay,
You should not use the partner determination of activities for marketing.
You use the following partner determination procedures.
MACT0001
MFND0001
You can copy any of the above procedure and create your own partner determination procedure.
Hope it solves your problem.

How will i configure partner determination for customer master

how will i configure partner determination for customer master data.

hi
Check this
BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PARTNER DETERMINATION
In the partner determination procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (Customer Master, Sales Document, Item Category etc.) For each object, in which partner function can be created, you can define partner procedures. This also means that
For Customer Master
For Sales Documents
For Sales Documents and Billing Documents: for items
We can define our partner determination procedure for each of these levels as shown below. In Blue are given the ones wherein the Partner Procedures are assigned to the Partner Objects
Customer Master Account Group
Sales Document Header Sales Document Type
Sales document Item Item Category in sales
Delivery Delivery Type
Billing Header Billing Type
Billing Item Billing Type
Sales Activity Sales Activity type
By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure would be valid.
In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function
whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
whether the partner function can be changed in the document
BUSINESS PARTNER FUNCTION
By assigning a business partner function to a partner you can determine which functions the partner fulfils in the business process. Partner Functions are classified using partner type. The partner type represents the roles played by the business partner within the business transaction.
Following partner functions exist in the standard process of Sales and Distribution
Partner Type Customer
Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party, Payer and Sold-to Party authorized to release against a contract. You can define the sold-to party authorized to release against a contract in the partner screen of a contract. This partner may only schedule orders with reference to this contract, even when he is not the sold-to party authorized against a contract.
Partner Type Contact Person
Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (e.g. purchasers) Contact person can be created directly in customer master record.
Partner Type Vendor
A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
The other possible partner functions on the credit side in the sale process are interpreters, auditors etc. The forwarding agent is an agent who performs transportation services. This includes organizing the shipment, delivery and receipt of the goods, arranging the carrier services and handling the customs issues.
Partner Type Personnel
Employee Responsible
Sales Personnel
You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
In the Customer Master If the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer.
In the Sales Document If the employee is responsible for processing the Business Transaction.
STEP WISE PROCESS FOR PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->set Up Partner Determination->Set up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
First go to OVT0 create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.
Now go to IMG logistics general business partner customers control define & assign customer number ranges define the number. Here you range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.
Now go to VOPA here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. The following steps need to be done in partner determination area
Assign partner function to account group i.e SP,SH, BP, PY to account group (debit side ). Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->Assign Partner Functions on the debit side to account Groups.
Then create Partner Determination Procedure.
Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Function.
Then finally assign the Partner Determination Procedure to acc group.
Important Points in Business Partners and Partner Determination Procedure
Partner relationship maintained/defined in the customer master is proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document.
In customizing we can decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master.
In sales documents, the system is configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function.
We can define partners at item level in the sales documents.
Business Partners that are defined at the header level however cannot be changed at the item level.
You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered in a sales document.
It is also possible to manually change or enter the address of a partner, such as the Ship-to Party. This change does not affect the master record.

Partner determination for sales doc header

Dear all
I assigned 2 SH to 1SP in customer master but in sales order system allowing manually to select any SH which is not assigned to SP.
waiting ur reply

Hi Lucky,
To map your requirement please use the following path:
IMG> Sales and Distribution> Basic Functions > Partner Determination> Set Up Partner Determination--> Select (Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header). Here Select the Standard order & select Partner function in Procedure. Here against Ship-to-party Line you can see the ORIGINAL TABLE coloumn Here select "C" - Partner function from customer master (table KNVP).
By doing the above settings the system will allow only partners from Customer master records.
Hope this works for you.

Partner determination for sales document item

Hi people
We have a partner function in sales order (carrier) that must be determinate by item, this is necessary because we sell different materias in the same order that can't be transported by the same carrier.
In customizing Partner Determination for Sales Document Header is possible to use an user exit assign the origin X, Y or Z, in this case I would use the exit EXIT_SAPLV09A_003, but for partner determination for sales document item i didn't find a way to assign the origin X, Y and Z
Does anyone have an idea for solving this?
Thanks
Emerson

Whatever Partner functions are assigned to the Procedure assigned to the Sales document Type, only those partner functions will feature in the Sales document header.
In the procedure assigned to the Item category you will find like that 3 only only as in the Sales order you can not have different Sold-to-party for different Item.
Whichever Sold-to-party is there in the header that is applicable to all item. So at item level Procedure
sold-to-party partner function is not required to assign.
Sold-to-party is unique for a Sales order and can not be changed.
But at Item level, you can have different Ship-to-party for different items so the partner function has to be there and to deliver the item one SH is mandatory, that is why it has been marked mandatory in the Procedure.
All the partner function assigned to the Procedure at header level will be copied to all item. In your procedure for the header you must be having 5 partner functions.
You can change the SH at item level for few items.

Question about partner determination for customer master

Hi, experts,
I have already read the documentation about this topic at forum. Still I have the following question:
why should we assign the partner function to the account group? According to my understanding, the partner function has to be assigned to partner determination procedure and then through partner determination it is associated with the account group. If the partner can be assigned to account group directly, why do we still need determination procedure?
Best regards,
Fan

Hi
Let us consider an existing Partner Determination procedure in standard SAP.
The Partner Determination Procedure (e.g, ABCD) can contain multiple "Partner Functions". Suppose there are 100 numbers of Partner Functions in the Procedure.
We assign "Partner determination Procedure" to the "Account Group", so that , the assigned Procedure will be applicable for the Customer master data created under that Account group.
Suppose, Partner determination Procedure "ABCD" has been assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
Now, any Customer created under Account Group "XYZ", the Procedure "ABCD" will be applicable for them. Right?
We have already discussed , the Procedure "ABCD" contains 100 different "Partner Functions".
Out of these 100 Partner Functions, only those Partner Functions, which are permitted by the Account Group "XYZ" , they can only be entered in the Sales area data > Partner Function tab of the Customer master data.
Suppose, only 6 Partner functions (out of 100 no) are assigned to Account Group "XYZ".
So these 6 Partner Functions are permitted by the said Account Group "XYZ" and these 6 Partner Functions can only be entered in the Customer master data.
So, to summerise it, if you want to enter a Partner Function in the Customer master, then
- First, that Partner Function must be available in the Procedure which applicable, and
- Second, that Partner Function also must have been permitted (assigned) by the Account Group .
I hope, it is clarified.

Pradyumna

Partner Determination for Shipments

I have set up a new Partner type that is to be used as address information when we create a Shipment. I have set up the Parnter so if added to the Customer Master, it will default onto the Sales Order, and when the delivery is created, that Partner will show up too. What I am having trouble doing is when I create a Shipment, the new partner does not show up, even though I have set the new type up in Shipment Partner Determination. I do see that when I create a Shipment that the Forwarding Agent does not populate nor does the Carrier on the Partner tab unless I click the Planning button. So, I am wondering is there another place in configuration (configuration for the Planning button on the Shipment) that would need to be done to bring in this new Partner I created? If I look at the partner screen, I can manually add if I want to, but I need it to default if it is on the delivery.
Thanks,
Diane

Go to VT04 transaction and the Variants to be maintained with Grouping criteria.
you need to maintain cpoying routine for the shipment docu type to get forwarding agents in your screen..
Next 0VTK transaction
go to copy routine in the proposal tab maintain your cusomized routine or routine 1
Now you create the collective shipment with that variant(Grouping Criteria variant)
and check

Partner determination for the action

Hi,
I am creating partner dependent marketing actions. However in the input field for partner function only a few partner functions are available. Where can I control which partner functions that will be available for the action?
regards Camilla

Hi! Daniel,
Put a break point in CRM_ACTION_BADI.
and see where it is giving you an error, probably the partner function that you are providing while defining the action profile is not having an email address because the email adress it will take from the partner function that u have maintained in the action profile.
Hope it will provide some help.

Partner determination for Intercompany Billing

Dear Guru's,
I have configured intercompany sales process and am facing difficulty in the billing part.
When the Intercompany invoice is generated, the payer in this invoice should be the internal customer(the customer asigned to the ordering sales organisation)
But actually the Intercompany invoice is picking up the external customer as the payer.
Can anyone tell me why it is doing so and what corrective configuration is to be done to ensure , it picks up the internal customer as the payer.
Regards,
Avinash Gyale

hello,
for correct customizing please check the following notes:
308989
338922
don't forget:
Assign customer number for intercompany billing to sales organization (TA ovx5)
Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization (TA ovva)
Create customer master record of internal customer in the sales organization of the delivering company code (Sales and Distribution segment (TA XD01)

"Partner Determination Steps for Customer Master" clarification

Hi,
Let me clear myself at the outset itself, that I searched SDN for my below mentioned query, however I could not find any answer to my satisfaction....here I am posting again
In "Partner Determination for Customer Master", the following steps are undertaken -
Step 1:
1.a.) Create New Partner Determination Procedure
1.b.) For each Partner Determination Procedure, different Partner Functions, which are applicable for that specific determination procedure, are assigned. (along with other properties like if the PF is mandatory, not modifiable )
Step2:
"Partner Determination Procedure Assignment", here we assign different Partner Determination Procedure to different Account Groups. In other words, indirectly, we assign the partner functions to account groups. Right? (Please correct me if I am wrong)
Step3:
"Partner Function". Here we define new partner functions, (which are used in Step 1...)
Step4:
"Account Group- Function Assignment" - Here we assign the Partner Functions to Account Groups
Now My Question
(A) Since the Partner Functions are assigned (via partner determination procedure) to account groups in Step 1, then why Partner Functions are assigned AGAIN to account groups in Step 4. What is the significance of this assignment in Step 4.
(B) Is there is particular sequence of Steps (1 to 5), one should follow when somebody has to create new customer account group and/or new partner function.
Thanking you all in advance.

Dear SR
Leave SAP Partner Determination screen for 2 minutes and first understand the logic
1. Create the new partner functions
2. Create the new determination procedure
3. Link the new partner functions to the new determination procedure and add mandatory, non modifiable ,optional creteria
4. Assign the new determination procedure to the document type or account group at appropriate level
This is essence and this is for all 8 levels like CMR,sales doc header,item etc
Now coming to your qn
When you define a new account group ( you might be aware account group controls partner functions of CMR) you will say that your new account group will carry out patner functions like SP,SH,BP,PY
That is ACCOUNT GROUPS function assignment
Whenever you create a new account group you will do field selection in OBD2 like suppress optional.reqd etc,create no ranges and assign no ranges and also mainly this activity partner determination
These are must settings for a new account group
AG is the german key for sold to party Partner determination procedure
This is step 1
Then in next step you will tell AG will carry out such and such partner functions Step 2 like mandatory not modifiable etc
Step 3 is link the AG to your account group
Step 4 is partner functions say if you want to create a new partner function say SB special stock partner
(in concept this is the firststep)
Step 5 is once again partner function account group assignment
So when you create a new partner function you will do step 4 first and step 5 and then 1 and 2 and 3
when you create a new account group you will do step 5 and then 1 and 2 and 3
Hope you understand now
Partner functions are relatives in your family
Say in a family we have Father ,mother sister, brother (these 4 partner functions)
This is called as Happy Family and this Happy Family is the Partner determination procedure in SAP
This Happy Family is linked to the account group
So Happy family means there are 4 partner functions
So whenever you create a CMR in the account group this father.mother,brother,sister will come as default
Suppose you add another partner function say Uncle
First you have to create uncle
Then you have to tell this account group will accept uncle
Then link the uncle in the happy family that is determination procedure of SAP along with the 4
Then assign happy family to the account group
Now when you create a CMR along with father.mother,brother,sister along with that uncle will also come

Please advice what partner function should I use?
Best Regards
Junwen

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

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.

Enhancement for partner determination in STO

Hello, SAP gurus!
We are working on enhancement to copy CR partner role (forwarding agent) from supplying plant's vendor master to STO partner tab. We have found a way, how to select the data and fill it in structure MMPA, which will update STO partner data during STO save. The problem we are facing now is the missing partner data in parnters tab on ME21N screen, when the data is copied. Data is filled in MMPA structure, but something is still missing so it is not displayed on screen, thus it cannot be changed or seen.
Has anyone figured out working solution for this, as SAP does not support partner determination for STO's sccording to note 117537?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You need debug the T-code ME21N and see from which run time structure does ME21N displays data on the screen.
And you will also write an enhancement for ME21N.
Hope this is of help to you!

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

What is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),
Actually we create partner functions before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.
These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.
Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.
Thanks&Regards
sreenivas peruru

There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.
Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.
So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...
Hope this helps...
THanks,
