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 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

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.

You should not use the partner determination of activities for marketing.
You use the following partner determination procedures.

You can copy any of the above procedure and create your own partner determination procedure.

Ouput type determination for shipment

Hi Folks
I need to do some configuration regarding shipment output.
And I want output type to be determined based on sold to party of delivery documents in shipment.
Means, if there are 4 deliveries having 4 different sold to party Then I want 4 output type ( say FCED ) to be determined each for one sold to party.
I've created an access sequence for this output type 'FCED'. and in access sequence used a key combination of shipment type/ sold to party . And I've maintained 4 sold to party also.
There is a structure komkbv7 ( communication header for shipping ). Now when I've one delivery then sold to party for that delivery come in this structure (komkbv7-kunag) but when there is more than one delivery in shipment komkbv7-kunag comes as blank.
Your suggestions would be highly appreciated
With regards
Mandeep

Hi All,
Use field KUNNR in field catalog (spro->Logistics Execution->Transportation->Basic Transportation Functions->Output Control-> Maintain Output Determination for Shipments->Maintain Condtion Tables->Field catalog: Messages for transportation), instead of KUNAG. This field is available by default in KOMB and KOMKBV7 structures.
I know this is a rather old discussion, but there was no clear answer for the question, I just wanted to make sure that others having the same problem can find an answer.

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.

G/L account determination for shipment cost

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem setting up account determination for shipment cost document.
When saving shipment cost document, SAP generates "service entry sheet" (PO) and GR with accounting document,
but I would like to change the default G/L account by shipping condition type.
So far, I have set up automatic G/L account (OBYC), GBB and WRX, but I could only define the default one.
Could you please advise if it is possible to change G/L account for freight accrual?
and if yes, how to change G/L account determination by shipping condition type?
Thank you
JK

Hi,
1. Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define And Assign Pricing Procedures
Transaction Code: SPRO
Shipment pricing procedure is same as the standard pricing procedure and uses condition technique to retrieve the data from condition tables.
2. Pricing Procedure Determination for Shipment Costs:
Based on the combination of Item category Determination group, Service Agent Procedure Group, Shipping Type Procedure Group, pricing procedure is determined
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define And Assign Pricing Procedures
3. Search Procedure for the PO:
TPPt: Transportation planning point is taken from the shipment document
SCTy: Shipment Cost type is taken from the shipment cost document
POrg: /Pgr/Plant: Purchasing Organization, Purchasing group and Plant is assigned to the combination of TPPt & SCTy.
On these values the purchase order is searched for the Vendor mentioned in the shipment document
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Assign Purchasing Data
4. Automatic G/L account Determination
I hope this information will help to you.
Thanks & Regards
Raju
From the Transaction u201CGBBu201D and combination of General Modification key u201CVBRu201D and valuation class the G/L account is determined for the posting to the freight accounts.
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Automatic G/L Account Determination
From the Transaction u201CWRXu201D and value of valuation class as u201C u201C the G/L account is picked for GR/IR accounts.

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.

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 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.

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)

What is the purpose why we define partner determination

hi
my question is what is use of partner determination. How many partner functions we should create in customer master. Is there any thumb rule we have create sd,bp,py,sh
thanks in advance

Hi,
We sell the goods to the customer who places the order. In SAP this ordering customer role is played by the sold to party. Similarly the shipping address is the ship to party used while creating the delivery. While creating the invoice we require the bill to party and for receiving the payment payer function is required. Hence partner determination procedure is very important in SD from the sales flow point of view otherwise if you create the customer without any partner function then you will not be able to create even the sales order.
SP, SH, BP & PY are the basic partner functions. Apart from this you can create partner function for commission agent, notifying party, sales employee, etc. You will find this in IMG-sales & distribution - basic functions - partner determination - set up partner determination. Click here and you will see
1.Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master
2.Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header
3.Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Item
4.Set Up Partner Determination for Delivery
5.Set Up Partner Determination for Shipment
6.Set Up Partner Determination for Billing Header
7.Set Up Partner Determination for Billing Item
8.Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Activities (CAS)
Just go through the documentation below. You will get a clear picture on how to do the partner determination procedure for a customer.
PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
First go to OBD2 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. Here you define the number 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. After saving it double click on it then you will face with a screen. Here you enter the partner function and you can select if you want the function as mandatory and not changeable.
Then go back, click on procedure assignment, enter your account group in the lower left corner of the screen, press enter then in front of that select your partner determination procedure. Then save it.
Then click on go back 2 times. Here you can see partner functions, click on it, then go to environment in the upper menu and select Acct. grp assignment. Here just select your partner function and in front of that you select your customer account group. Then save it. Now you have completed the pre requisites to create the customer master.
Then go to XD01 and create your customer master.

Output determination for Sub-Shipment

Hello All,
I have a unique situation and need your inputs to identify possibilities in resolving it.
Here is the situation:
The transportation planning (TPE system) at our client is done by a 3rd party software. Now, we receive a Sales Order from a customer; create a delivery. TPE system creates the shipments and we PGI it and the sales order follows through the next steps. The shipments created from TPE go to Carriers and they carry the product from our warehouse to pool points from where customers pick it up. We have to pay the carriers from moving our goods from our warehouse to pool points. Thus whenever a shipment is created, we check-in...do the next steps in WM and finally when the shipment is ready, it triggers a payment IDOC to be sent to finance (an external system) so that it can be matched with Carrier invoices and then paid.
Our unique problem: There is a carrier (lets call it NCP) who is moving our goods from warehouse to pool point. We got a sales order from customer. This customer doesn't pick up goods from the pool point. He wants it to be delivered to his distribution center and to do this he is using the same transportation carrier (NCP). Thus when we received the sales order from customer, TPE system created a master shipment (5000001M) for NCP to pick up from our warehouse and deliver to pool point. You might be aware that TPE optimizes the route and thus combines multiple deliveries into one master shipment. From here NCP should pick up a part of the master shipment and deliver it to client. Thus SAP automatically created a sub-shipment (5000002S). This sub-shipment is a part of the master shipment and thus will not be separetely processed in WMS. The master shipment is checked-in, loaded and shipment ready - thus creating a payment IDOC to the external payee system. As the Sub-system is a part of master shipment, it is not touched and thus no payment IDOC is created.
Now the carrier sents two invoices - one for master to pick up goods from our warehouse and deliver it to pool point and the second one - to deliver a part of this shipment to customer's DC. Our payment system is unable to match it up with any IDOC's as we didn't send them out from SAP.
So this is where I'm struck. How should I configure the output for a sub-shipment so that it'll be triggered as soon as the delivery is PGI'ed? Could anyone give some inputs here?
Please let me know if more clarification is needed. Thanks in advance for looking into this

Dear VGR,
Do the configuration settings for the shipment output determination through this IMG path
IMG>Logistics Execution>Transportation>Basic Transportation Functions>Output Control-->Maintain Output Determination for Shipments
-->Maintain Condition Tables
-->Maintain Output Types
-->Maintain Access Sequences
-->Assign Output Types To Partner Functions
-->Maintain Output Determination Procedure
-->Assign Output Determination Procedures
I wanted to send an EDI to carrier when my planning is done and email to customers when loading takes place.
For he above requirement you take help of ABAPer to develop the output program in such way and assign that program to your shipment output type.
Maintain the condition records through VV71 transaction with Transm. Medium EDI and Email
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
