Partner Function Complete scenario

Hi, I need to use partner functions. But I am getting confused.
Okay here is the scenario,
I have Fed-ex as a vendor, as a central vendor.
Each plant uses its own Fed-ex ordering addresses(OA) and Shipping point and Invoicing address.
Now when a PO is created I need to each a choice of ordering addresses. Because it is done centrally in one office now. before it was done at the plant. The same is the case for invoicing.
Do I need to create diffrent account groups, one for ordering address one for Invoicing address and shipping account. But the shipping point and invoicing address are just addresses. Do I need to create vendor master data for these. All the account groups have reconcilation account as required. So, do I need to create an account group for addresses with all other req feilds optional.
I need a clear picture on this, every one says Partner role then partner determination and give me Help.sap.com material, I have checked and checked nothing has come up for me.
So, please help me out here.

Dear Srix,
I think that you can use Sub range function, so just use one account group,and the suppose you already assign a partner schema for it. Then through OMSG activate the sub range funtion for the acc.group,tick the "Vendor sub range relevant" and Plant level relevant.
Then when you maintain a vendor (MK01 /MK02), you can create a sub range funtion, then go to alternative data, there you can define for this vendorA and plant1 the ordering address is A-1,then for vendorA and plant 2,the OA is A-2.And so on for Invoicing addr.
Then when you create a vendor for a particular plant, then ordering and invoicing address will get from this sub-range and alternative data.
Hope this can help you to understand.

Access Sequnce in Partner Function

Hi
We are using same transaction types for 3 different types of service orders functionality.
Service order, Copy Service Order, Follow up service Order, we are defined partner function with below category, Client, Alternative Requester, Employee Responsible, Service Group..
Scenario 1.
The Original service order has both Client & Alternative partner function fields with the same person i.e. u201CClient is equal to Alternative Requester, we require scenario as below
i)      Copy service order partner functions are the same partner functions as the preceding (original) service order.
ii)      FUSO alternative requester partner function will be copied from Original service order Client Partner Function partner function.
Scenario 2:
The Original service order has both Client & Alternative Requester partner function fields with different values i.e. u201CClient is not equal to Alternative Requesteru201D. Here it will impact on FUSO as described below
i)         There is no effect to copy functionality i.e. Copy service order partner
           Function has same partner functions as the preceding (original) service order
ii)     Effect on FUSO logic: Alternative requester partner function will be copied from original service order to FUSO alternative requester field.
But as per scenario Client from Original service order should become Alternative Requester for FUSO,, Suggest perfect access sequence to satisfy above condition
Regards
Raju

Hi,
Create an access sequence with one step:
1) Client from Preceding document
in which the source should be preceding document and the details on the origin should be your client partner function.
Then assign this access sequence to your Alternative Requester partner function.
This should work.

Classic Scenario PO has multiple OA Partner Functions for Vendor

Hi,
I have a 'design' issue. My R/3 Vendor has many OA Partner Functions for the different Branches they have and the PO needs to be Faxed to the OA Partner Function number, but the PO needs to be created against the VN Partner Function.
So, how do i do this in SRM? I was going to have a seperate Catalog link for each OA Partner function, but this is not creating the R/3 PO with VN Partner Function of the 'core' Vendor number.
Does anyone have any advice for this?
regards Adam
Using SRM 5.0 (Server 5.5) SP 8 and R/3 4.6C in Classic Scenario - my catalogs are external vendor.

Customer master partner function scenario

Hai gurus,
This is an interface scenario; ours is a sender system.
customer master data which have been created in our system is sent to the other system.
Hence all partner function data also be sent to the system.
Now the requirement is that only Sold to party partner function should be sent and others(ship to party,bill to party,payer etc) data should not be sent thru idoc.
How can be this requirement be fulfilled.
would any one please explain
Thanks in advance
sameer

Hi,
Create a distribution model and set filter on the partner function field such that it only sends data for sold to partner function..
for further details refer the following link :

Partner functions in EBP for extended Classic Scenario

Hello Guru's,
I have a few questions on handling partner functions in SRM 5.0 extended classic PO..
We are planning to use a freight vendor partner as one of the partner functions. The PO raised should go to both the parties from SRM.
Is the output handled in SRM or do we have to use the copied PO on R/3 to send it over to the freight vendor.
Could someone throw in some points.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi
I think, we cannot send PO output to multiple partners (vendors) at one point of time.
You need to use the 'repeated output' check box in the 'output' tab of PO in SRM to send the PO to other partners.

Partner functions for SAP Customer Master

I am in the MDM solution definition phase for SAP Customer Master at one of our Cients place. The requirement is to set up a central master data scenario where creation & modification of any customer record will be done via MDM. The following components of Netweaver are in the landscape - SAP MDM, EP, XI.
I need clarification on the following points -
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
Hi Arvind,
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
Partner Function comes under Condition Technique in SAP ECC.here some config has to be done.
For mapping it in MDM, First create a Qualified Table - Partner Function.Determine the Non-Qualifiers and Qualifiers.Then as said by Suresh, u need Java API stuff to complete this task and frontend being EP.
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
It can be done using EP as front end and Java API to dertermine the partner based on the account group.
Thanks,
Felix

Replication of Partner Function from CRM 5 to ECC6 Issue

Hi experts
Is someone able to assist with pointing me in the correct direction to resolve a partner function replication issue please. We create all entities/BPs in CRM, and replicate them to ECC.
We have a custom partner function, ZF, that is held against Payer and Sold-to in ECC. This is a separate entity in CRM, but is sent according to relationship assignment to ECC. We have noticed that this partner function is not being updated correctly.
Scenarios:
Ending a relationship between Account/Customer (Payer/sold-to in ECC) and the Farm (ZF partner function) - the ZF partner function is removed in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
New Account or Customer creation in ECC with ZF relationship assigned, ZF partner function is being created in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
HOWEVER, when adding a new ZF relationship in CRM to an existing Payer/Sold-to, the ZF partner function does not get created in ECC. This is incorrect behaviour - new valid relationship should trigger ZF partner function in ECC.
Also, name changes to the ZF maintained in CRM, is not being updated in ECC for existing relationships. Instead, the Partner Function tab, ZF type, displays the old name for the Farm.
BUPAREL bdocs are being created and sent to ECC, however something is happening on the receiver end. How do we trace this, and does anyone have any ideas on where to start to find out what is happening here?
Many thanks
Cara

Solved, internal issue usage tab not being completed correctly so not assigning partner function

Role of Partner Function in One Time Vendors..

Hi All,
Can any one let me know the significance of the Partner function in a vendor. Should we have to define the partner function for One Time Vendor in R/3 system, which will be replicated in SRM??
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
Mahesh. J

Hi Ravinagh, many thanks for the information.
I've tested your proposed solution but unfortunately can't get it to work.
I've activated the delivered scenario 0003 (RECIPIENT BANK ORIENTED) & created a general bank chain as follows via transaction FIBB:
In the Bank Chains screen, BankChn ID = 00001, No. = 1, Typ = 2, Corr. ctry, Corr.Bank key & Bank acct all completed with intermediary bank details.
In the Assignment screen, Crcy = USD, Sender Ctry = GB, Sender Bank Key - 200000, Recipient Ctry = KY, Recipient Bank key = blank, PmntMthSu = blank, BankChn ID = 00001.
I then created a OTV invoice with bank details of Bank Country = KY (& valid bank key & account).
The payment program selects the invoice to be paid using currency USD, house bank which uses bank key 200000 and uses the bank details as entered in the OTV. It pays the invoice but no mention is made in the log of intermediary banks, and when I check table REGUH there are no entries in the intermediary bank fields for the payment proposal.
I'd be grateful for any further suggestions!

Error "No address found for partner function type 0025 "

Hi,
Could anybody suggest me the issue as in below?
When I would like to change a PO through process PO (in SRM) I have received an error as "No address found for partner function type 0025". But the business partner looks fine in case of address matter. Only the things are missing are
PO Box address
PO Box
Postal code
Company postal co
Thanks,
Pijush

Hi Pijush,
I have seen this error many times, the user was probably deleted from the SRM system and so no subsequent actions can be taken on open documents linked to this user.
The SRM system behaves like this
In Standalone scenario:
SRM system is standalone system not connected with HR system
If we try to delete the user locally the system will check is there any
open documents if any open document exists
then the system won't allow to delete the
users which inturn won't delete the associated business partner
relationship.
So the user as well as the business partner relationship (BUT050 ,
BUT052) won't be deleted.
SRM with HR Replication scenario:
All the users are maintained in HR system and the HR system is the
leading system.
If the employee leaves the organisation, from HR side the requirement is
that the user has to
be deleted immediately. So here we can't check whether the user has open
documents in child system (i.e, SRM system), even if
we check and block the deletion of user in HR, from HR side this is not
acceptable from HR the user should be removed immediately. If the user
is deleted or delimited in HR side when the user is replicated to SRM
system the BP relationship will be deleted this is the reason that the
open documents could not be processed.
So the please follow either of these options,
1. Before deleting a user from HR make sure that all the open documents
are completed or assigned to some other
active requestor / recipient.
2. All the open documents associated to the deleted business partner or
user should be archived.
3. If the user is deleted in HR before closing the documents and still
want to access the open documents of the deleted user / Business Partner
they can use the Z Report which will replace the deleted Business
Partner with active business partner.
I have attached the report Z_change_pguid_002_new.txt please use
this report to replace the deleted Business partner with the active
business partner.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Tax Jurisdiction Code Check as part of a Sales Order Partner Function

Hi,
I have a scenario where we modify partner information directly in the sales order. These partners are simple addresses and are not tax relevant. We have set them up as one-time customers. Every time when we modify the address information, Vertex kicks in and tries to match the address information (street, city and state) with a tax jurisdiction code. In our case the address information is high level (only city and state) which is not enough for Vertex. SAP issues then a blocking error message.
We try to find a way to ignore Vertex for these specific partners. In the documentation we have found a user exit, as well as a BADI, but our developpers were not able to make it work in the sales oder.
The user-exit is the following: EXIT_SAPLFYTX_USER_001
The BADI is the following: IF_EX_ADDRESS_SUBSCREEN
In EXIT_SAPLFYTX_USER_001, I've found a parameter (EXEMP_IND) which could enable to bypass the tax jurisdiction code check and the RFC call to Vertex.
In IF_EX_ADDRESS_SUBSCREEN, I've found a parameter (CHECK_ADDRESS) which could potentially bypass the check as well.
Did any of you already experience this scenario or would you have an idea about how I could make this work?
Thanks
Loic

Unfortunately, the sales order is created through an interface (using iDOCs), and the external system feeding the iDOC for the sales order creation does not have any Zip Code information. Besides, even if the Zip Code is entered, it is still not enough for Vertex to choose automatically a Tax Jurisdiction Code, most of the times, it is also requiring a District, which again, will not be passed from the interface.
We went through this analysis already and we came to the conclusion that we need to bypass this check, as this partner function is not tax relevant.
Thanks,
Loic

RE:Business partner functions in customer Master creation

Do we need to send the Business partner functions while creating record in R3 thru MDM.
For any account group i pass the Idoc is expecting all Business partner functions to be defined for the account group to which am trying to create Customer.(As SH,BP,PY..)
Can anyone please explain me in brief the Business partner function -Problem in my scenerio............................Concept of Business Partner function while creating Customer.

In ECC partner functions are used when you have multiple addresses for the same customer. The partner function links those address records together. You could have multiple unique customer numbers on the KNA1 table, but in the KNVVP table (partner functions) you maintain the linkage between the main table records.
Partner functions are not recommended in MDM. These are generally not considered to be "enterprise level attributes" and therefore shouldn't reside in your customer repository in a central create scenario. Additionally, some of the complexity required to model partner functions can't be modeled in MDM at this time. When 7.1 comes out, there is a new data type called "tuples" which supports deeply nested structures, and therefore you could model a true partner function table inside the sales area table.

Partner functions in Customer master

Hi,
Can we maintain partner functions with out maitain customer sales area data, we need to maintain only general and company code data.
Business scenario - 1. We have some certain customers like carrying only address purposses we dont need maintain company code and sales area, so is sytem creates partner functions once save this type of customers.
2. same as said in point one some customers need general and company code data, dont need sales area, can system creates partner functions for this.
regards
Satish

Hi Satish C,
As already expressed by all other friends,
Just would like to add,
SAP has given 3 levels to maintain cusotmer relevant data ( General , Company Code & Sales area) & you are already aware of the same.
But each level has its own importance & it can be based on how you would like to use the respective partners in specific transactions.
for eg:
in Billing- Bill to / Payer is required to have Company Code data & Ship to doesnt need to have Company Code data.
In FI transactions- Customer doesnt need to have Sales area data.
similarly, it all depends on how you want to use.
NOte: if any partners using in Sales documents, should have General & Sales area data is mandatory. Company data is in billing.
Just to maintain the address, if its ok with your client, you can go for different partner function ( if required in sales transactions) & add in sales area data.

Upload partner functions to customer master using LSMW

Dear Friends,
I'm trying to uplaod customer partner functions data through LSMW. I have tried to upload the data using recording method in LSMW(Tr. code: XD02).
As per the business requirement, I need to upload multiple number(For example: 10 records) of SP(Sold to) partners to a single customer.
While executing session, instead of adding all 10 records of partner functions, only the last record(i.e 10th records) is adding in the customer master.
Your response will be highly appraciated.
Regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
You can't use XD02 to upload multiple partner functions by recording the transaction. It will not create multiple entries, always it will replace the existing ones with the new entry. you need to use the standard BI program or Idoc method do the same.
I know the scenarios for the vendors it didnot work in that way for me at that time I used Standard BI method to create the multiple partner associations.

How to get access to the partner Functions of a PO header in BADI

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need to get access to the PO Header Partner Functions to get the Vendor number, in the PROCESS_ITEM method of BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. I could not find any method to get the partner functions. Is there any way I can get this data in my BADI implementation. I'm talking about ME21n transaction code, and the PO is not created yet, hence the PO number is not available in the BADI.
If the above is not possible, is there any other function module which I can call in the PROCESS_ITEM method of the BADI to get partner functions and their respective vendor numbers.
Any pointers would be appreciated and points awarded. Thanks for your time and help.

Hello,
Use the methods of the class: CL_PO_ITEM_HANDLE_MM, in the method: PROCESS_ITEM of the badi:
ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, for example to access the po lines. the code is as follows:
data: it_mepoitem type mepoitem.
**Get the po lines.
it_mepoitem = im_item->get_data( ).
To look at the methods available: Go to SE24, Input the class:
CL_PO_ITEM_HANDLE_MM
Hope this helps.
PS: Award points if my answer is helpful.
