Partner function assingment to Account group

hi,
Can anyone explain on the relationship between Account group with Partner function ( whether is it One to one or one to many?)
please explain any business case to explain the Partner Determination?
thanks
Bala

Hi,
One to Many
One account group have many partner functions (Account group - Sold to have many partners SP,SH,BP,PY)
Business case - As it is totally depends on requirement
Example - If sold to party performing role of SH,BP,PY then for customer master you can determine this partner functions 
lf your sold to, ship to, bill to, payer  are diffrent the you can crete diffrent acciunt groups and create master then assign in sold to part master
Example - Sold to party, bill to & payer is 1234 But ship to ABCD
If you have sales employe and that don't have speciefic to customer then you determine this partner function for sales document header and maintain at time of sales processing

  • Account Group and Partner Function

    Hello All,
    Can any one tell me how can i assign particular Account group to all partner functions.
    Thanks
    Sundu

    Hi Sundar,
    Its very simple.
    Go to IMG - SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION FOR CUSTOMER MASTER
    Now select Account Groups - Function Assignment in the left hand side column.
    Now based on the account group that you use while creating customers through either XD01 or BP transaction, assign the relevant partner functions against your account group.
    This should help you solve your query.
    Reward points if helpful.

  • Why the partner usuage tab is suppresed in account group for SH,BP,and PY

    Hi All,
    why the partner usuage tab is suppresed in account group for ship to party, bill to party and payer.
    Regards,
    MAllesh.

    Maybe some one did it to not allow end user to access different Partner functions to those Account Groups, in which case it is better to consult your boss to rechange it. If it is like that by default, then you can change it on your own if it is required.
    You can make it to 'change mode' in T Code OBD2. Select your Account Group, click Details and select Sales Area Data and then Partner usage and then change 'Business partner assignment' as Op Entry.
    Now you will get your partner usage tab in change mode.

  • Mandatory partner function at sales order item level

    Hi all,
    I'm customizing partner schema at item level for sales order. I have created a custom partner function, I put it in a new sales order item partner procedure and i set this partner function as mandatory (I want that system show me a message if this function is missing at item level in sales order). This partner function is defined only at sales order item level (not at header level or customer master).
    If i create and save a sales order with an item type that use the item partner procedure I have created, system don't show me any message for the item custom partner function missing, else if it is set as mandatory in sales order item partner procedure.
    I have read some posts in these forums about this functionality, but it seems a different situation.
    Someone had a similar type of problem?
    Thank you in advance for any possible suggestion.
    Regards
    Gianpaolo

    Hi,
    First you have to create a new partner function.
    Then assign that partner function to the account group.
    Then assign that partner function to partner determination procedure for the item category.
    Over here click on the mandatory button also.
    Then assign that partner determination procedure to item category.
    Then to XD02 and give your customer number and in the partner tab maintain the data for that partner function.
    Now go to VA01 and create your sales order you will see you partner function.
    If you wont have maintained it in the customer master then it will prompt an error.

  • Confusion on partner function of ALE process

    Hi experts,
    Now I am developing the ALE for message type ORDERS in inbounding process for testing purpose. Our customer is running their business in SAP and her company code is 6000 in her SAP system, and our company is vendor in her system, the vendor number is 1100. She create a purchase order and run the transaction code ME9F then the IDOC will send to our SAP system, and then the sales order is created in our system. Actually the whole process is OK. But I am really confused by the partner function setting and sales area setting in VOE4 and VOE2.
    In VOE4, the setting is below:
    Customer          Ext.Function         Name                            Exnternal partner          Int.no
    6000                 SP                       Sold-to party                  6000                            6000
    6000                 BP                       Bill-to party                    6000                            6000
    6000                 PY                       Payer                            6000                            6000
    6000                 SP                       Ship-to Party                  6000                            6000
    In VOE2, the setting just like below:
    Customer       Vendor number     Sorg.                   Dchl              Dv             Saty
    6000              0000001100          1000                   12                 00              OR
    We had to create a customer number 6000 in order to make the ALE process smoothly. So I just want to know:
    1) We really need to make our customer number same as company code of customer in her SAP system if we use ALE ??
    2) If answer of 1) is yes, then in our production system, the customer numbers are different from their company codes, what and how do you suggest to mapping the is relationship?? Use a user-exit in IDOC??
    3) if answer of 1) is no, how can we make the ALE go next smothly??
    Can any one give me a suggestion on above??? Thanks in advance.

  • Partner function error

    Hi SD experts
    I have a customer X , and I created another Y copying X with the same account group.
    Customer X shows partner functions SP (Sold to = X) and SH (ship to= X ) among others.
    However these functions are not copied into Y and that is good becuase I do not want X as sold to/ship to for Y.
    However  when I try to create partners  SP= Y and SH=Y for customer Y , I get an error : Customer Y is not defined for function SP (table TPAKD)
    I checked transaction  VOPA for partner function/procedure/account group assignment etc and it seems to be OK, moreover it works for customer X, partner function SP = X and SH =X.
    Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated
    Anton

    Though you had indicated that you have checked the IMG, check once again in IMG SD > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master > Account Groups - Function Assignment
    Here check whether you have assigned the partner function to your account group.

  • Pricing Date & Account Group

    Hi
    what is Exact use for Pricing Date in Condition Type?
    Why does account group control customer?
    regards
    [email protected]

    Dear Mohammed
    a)  Pricing Date
    The pricing date is the date defined by date-dependent pricing elements such as conditions and the foreign currency rate.
    Enter the identification code for the date to which a condition of this type is to be calculated in the sales document. If you do not enter an identification code, the pricing date or the date of services rendered is used.
    For example, It is a good idea to use the goods issue date as the calculation date for freight surcharges. In this case, you enter 'A' as the identification code
    b)  Account Group
    May be it would be appropriate if you asked "how", instead of "why".
    The master records in the customer hierarchy are controlled by their account groups. You can use the same account groups for customer hierarchies as those used for partner determination in sales and distribution.
    An important requirement for proper sales order processing is that each customer can only include those functions relevant for him in a document. You can achieve this by assigning permitted partner functions to an account group.
    Thanks

  • Create commisson agent partner function

    Hi,
    I have ascenario where in we need to have a commisson agent partner function in the sales order.
    The agent shall be paid a fixed quantity per UOM of the finished product. This necessarily should be copied to the delivery and billing documents. The cond type that shall be maintained for this commission should be statistical and should not post an accounting entry in the billing document.
    Client wants to carry out all related activities manually and wants an report with all related details. Depending on the billed quantity the agent shall be paid through a credit note after realisation of money from the payer.
    Understand from my FI counterpart if an FI credit note has to be raised

    Hi,
    You can create a partner function as Commission Agent and assign it to your sales order partner function and carry out your transaction and post the commission amount after the receipt of the payment.
    You can go through as follows.
    SPRO>Sales & Distribution>Basic Functions>Partner Determination>Set up Partner Determination>Set up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header>Partner Function>Select SP>Copy>Name it as ZC>Save it.
    Now Click on Account Group-Function Assignment>New Entries>Partner Function "ZC" and Account Group-say your account group 1000> save it.
    Now Click on Partner Determination Procedures>select TA and click on partner Functions in Procedure>New Entries>Partner Determination Procedures as TA and Partner Function as ZC>Save it
    Now Click on Partner Determination Procedure Assignment>Select your Sales Order Type say OR and assign TA here and Save it
    Now you also need to have a master of Commission Agents so, Create a separate Account group for it say ZCOM-Commission Agent>SPRO>Financial Accounting>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Customer Accounts>Master Data>preparations for Creating Customer Master DAta>Define Account Groups with screen layout>New Entries>ZCOM>Save it.
    Now Number Ranges for your commission agent>SPRO>Financial Accounting>Accounts receivable and accounts payable>Customer Accounts>Master Data>preparations for Creating Customer Master Data>Create Number ranges for Customer Accounts>Click on Change intervals>insert interval>ZC>SAVE it
    Assign number ranges to your account group ZCOM and ZC number range.
    Now for having a separate master data for your commission agent you need to also separately set up a Partner Determination Procedure for it.
    Same procedure for setting this also>spro>Sales & Distribution>Basic Functions>Set up Partner Determination>Setup Partner Determination procedure for Customer Master
    Select Partner Functions>new Entries>partner function as ZC-partner type-KU>Save it
    Now click on Accounts Group-Function Assignment>New Entries>Partner Function-ZC and Account group ZCOM>SAve it
    Now click on Partner Determination Procedures>New Entries>Say ZC Commission Agent>Save it
    Now Select your partner Determination Procedure ZC and Click on Partner Functions in Procedures>New Entries-ZC-ZC>Save it
    Now Click on  Partner Determination Procedure Assginment>New Entries>Group-ZCOM-partner procedure-ZC>SAve it
    Now create your Commission Agent>XD01>Create your commission Agents with only one partner function i.e ZC and save it
    whenever you create sales order you need to manually select the ZC partner function in your sales order header and complete your sales oprocess. On completion of the sales activity i.e receipt of payment your can issue a credit note using SD functionality also.
    I have done it while answering this query, try this out and let me know if you have any queries.

  • Sales Area check for custom partner function

    When processing sales orders in our system, it does not check the sales area for the customer of a custom partner function.  Can this be setup via config or is there a an exit that can be used for this.
    Thanks,
    Roy

    Yogesh -- Thanks for your response. However, it does not address the functionality issue.
    Currently, I created new partner function ZZ (for example).
    I assigned this partner function ZZ to account group Z000.
    I created new partner XYZ in account group Z000, in sales area XX00/XX/XX.
    I created a sales order in sales area YY00/YY/YY.
    Problem is that system allows me to assign partner XYZ to this sales order.
    How do I prevent this?
    How do I enfore that system will only allow partner XYZ in the sales order, if the partner is created in the same sales area?
