Partner Determination in PO Output

Hi experts
I defined a new action within action profile BBP_PD_PO for which I want to use partner-dependent determination.
I activate partner-dependent and enter partner function 00000016.
What else do I have to do to make this work?
Many thanks for your help.

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                  *

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.

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 in control record for EDI

Hi all,
    I have a custom EDI output which goes into the delivery. However this EDI output is not picking the correct partner.
The sales order with 2 plants would create 2 deliveries.   First delivery is created for plant A121 while second delivery is created for plant A710.   However, the vendor partner is not picked up correctly for plant A121 in the first delivery. LIkewise the second delivery. When the sales order has same plants, it create 1 delivery. This comes out with correct partner.
My question is: How is the partner determined in EDI control record before the delivery is created ?
In Partner Profile, WE20, there are 3 defined partners (100 LI, 200 LI, 300 LI). For plant A121, the partner would be vendor 200.
Thanks
Joyce

Hi Vinod,
   Thanks for your suggestion. I have condiiton record for this EDI which is plant and it would list the partner. Somehow, it seems the plant is not picked up correctly when there are a few plants in the sales order.   Becasue the partner is not picked up correctly, it seems to affect other output types that are plant-based.
    Initially the all output for EDI works fine. There have been recent changes made to split delivery by plant which is fine Output is one that are having issues.
   Have you any other suggestions ? I will continue to look at the program you suggested.
thank you.\
Joyce

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,

Employee responsible is not determined in partner determination- Transaction

Hi Experts,
Partner determaination in Activity. Eg : Sold to party :1001051, Employee id : 80007 and sales employee id: 80005.
under BP Sold 1001051 has relationship employee responsible 80007 relationship is maintained.
In the org model under the Sales org postion sales employee : 80005 is assigned.
we have created a partner determination procedure with partner functions 10 as Sales employee with category employee and relationship category as Bur011 as employee responsible and partner funciton 20 as employee with the same category and relationship category.
In the PDP we hace created acccess sequnece with 10 CRM_partner_org data with the rule configured to get the sales employee.
Access sequence 20 as CRM_Partner_business partner relationship to get the employee relationship from BP.
When we create the activity the partner determination is happening and under the partners tab we find the
sales employee = 80007
Employee = 80007
Now in the partner determination access sequnce 10 is not working, system is filling up the value of employee 80007 in the sales employee feild.
we have checked the rule and simulated the rule, we are getting the correct result of the postion and the agent -user assignment as 80005. but when we create a activity it is skipping access sequence 10 and by default fills up the value from the BP relationship Employee responsible 80007(employee) to the sales employee partner function.
If we are having 2 persons as employee in BP, the partners are filled twice. for example : Sold to party :1001051, Employee id : 80007, 80006 and sales employee id: 80005.
in Partner assignment block we are getting output as, it is not takind sales employee id 80005.
sales employee = 80006
sales employee = 80007
Employee = 80006
Employee = 80007
Please help me with a clue how to fix this issue.
Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
You can proceed with debugging the access sequences. The access sequences are hit via BADI : COM_PARTNER_DETERM and the implementation to chose is with the filter = source name.
Eg: CRM_PARTNER_DETERM_C for relationship based access.

Partner Determination Not Working in Opportunity

Hi,
We are using Z-partner Functions Which are Determined using Partner Determination Procedure in Lead but it is not Copied to opprtunity.
we used Different partner procedure for opportunity but is not coping from Lead. We tried to Modify the partner Procedure used for Lead and use it for Opportunity but it is not working.
can any one suggest were we might be going wrong.
With regards,
Selvam t

Hello Selvam,
there is no copy procedure during partner determination. If you create a followup doc or copy an existing document - the partner det. runs again. According to your settings in the PDP the partner are determined by access sequence and source. That means if you want partners which should be copied from predecessor then you should use the source COM_PARTNER_A like i.e. access sequence 0001 in standard.
I hope this help,

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

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.

Error while creating Notification: Partner Function is Not Allowed in Partner Determination Profile Q2

During Notification Creation I get the error --Partner Function is Not Allowed in Partner Determination Profile Q2
As I enter Purchase Document Number in the transaction QM01 and press Enter. I get the above error and donot go further.
Can anyone help me here.

Hello Prashant,
You are missing some configuration for the partner function;
Go- to
SPRO>IMG>QM>Quality Notifications>Notification Creation>Partners>Define partner Determination Procedure>
Again Select "Define Partner Determination Procedure".
Select Quality management> Change Partner
Now Select Q2.
Compare settings with Partner Determination Procedure on any other client. Also check Partner functions on the same screen.

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

"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

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.

Trigger partner determination when ship-to is changed on the sales order

Hi,
Here is my scenario...
I am defaulting my rail carrier partner function based on the ship-to party partner function into the sales order using the standard configuration i.e. by maintaining SH as entry in the "source" field for rail carrier partner function of the sales document partner determination procedure. Every thing is fine until the ship-to party in the order is not changed by the user. when the user changes the ship-to party the carrier is not re-determined (the old rail carrier partner function which defaulted into the order from the old ship-to party record stays in the document). I know standard SAP doesn't re-determine partners. Can anyone came accross this issue?
I would like to know if there is an user exit that i could use and write a code to trigger parter determination when a ship-to partner is changed in the sales order.
-Sree.
