Partner function in Output Determination

Hello everyone!
I am desperately in need of help, I guess like everbody else :).
I have 2 output types in the delivery header: OUT1 and OUT2
At any time, the system should determine only 1 output of these two (never both)
OUT1 is a specific output type based on Sold to customer (a specific customer#).
OUT2 is the generalized one; for all other Sold to parties.
I have a common Access Sequence with 2 tables (accesses)
Step 10: Shipping Point/Shipment Type/Sold to Party (exclusive flag checked here)
Step 20: Shipping Point/Shipment Type
Condition Records
1. For OUT1: Defined a condition record only for first access (step 10) with a specific Sold To number. Here in Partner Function I gave SP.
2. For OUT2: Defined a condition record only for second access (step 20) with no Sold To number. But it wouldn't let me save without partner function, this is my problem.....If I give SP in partner function it determines both the output types, while if I give some other Partner function it never determines this output type (even when Sold to party does not match condition record of OUT1)
Any help is appreciated .
Regards,

Hey Vik,
You have two choices
1. Let you config remain the same
for one o/p type-- define the specific SP
for the other, maintain the rest of them except this one.. there is no limit so you could maintain many.. you can upload them using LSMW if you do not want to do it manually
Else,
Use 2 different access sequences for your message types.. omne with condition access governed by a Specific SP, the other is generic.
Edit the requirement(9__) for the 2nd message type, and hard code logic saying if it is the first customer, do not genereate the 2nd message.

  • 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.

  • Partner in the output determination

    Hi all,
    If my output type is partner independant output then with out partner function I am able to trigger the output type in the sales document.In this case to whom the output is going
    If it is partner dependant then I need to use the partner function while maintaining the output condition record.
    What is the difference between the above?  Give some Business example
    REagdrs
    Mano

    Well i think if we are taking a print output, then the recipient does not really matter. The partner will come into play when we are talking of sending EDI's or email directly to the concerned person.

  • SRM partner function proposal and determination

    Hi experts,
                      This might be a basic question, i wish to know where and how different partner functions in SRM are proposed?
    For example,
    When I create a shopping cart with one item,  5 partner function at item 1 are created (which are 19,16,20,75,27). I understand that fct: 20 (Goods recipient) is always the requestor, but how do system determines fct: 27 (Shiip-to-adress)?
    Is it derived from company code, produc category etc.
    Where is the logic written to propose this automatically by SRM system?I presume it is coming from ECC backend, but would like to know how?
    Thanks
    Amit kumar Jain

    Hi Amit,
    Partner Function 16 corresponds to requestor who is the SC creator
    Partner Function 20 corresponds to goods recepient who is the SC creator again since he will confirm the goods
    Partner Function 75 corresponds to plant under which the SC is requested. This is picked from BBP_LOCMAP table once you have replicated your plants from ECC as locations in SRM)
    Partner Function 19 corresponds to supplier who is assigned in the SC
    Partner Function 27 corresponds to delivery address which is picked from org structure attribute SHIP-TO-Address.
    Hope this helps,

  • Email PO to buyer via output determination

    I'm trying to configure the emailing of a PO to a buyer (ME partner function) or alternatively user responsible (VU partner function) using output determination. I do not wish to use the vendor partner function.
    I've got a condition table where I can select by purchasing group. In the output condition record, where VU is assigned to the purchasing group, what should the Partner value be? The SAP User ID?
    Or if I were to use the ME buyer partner function, how do I tie the buyer specific email address to the condition record?
    Thanks, Vlad

    Hi,
    Hopefully this desc may be of some help to you.
    Basically there are two mail types: Internet mail (external mail) and
    SAPOffice mail.
    Mail is sent via the output determination in both cases.
    If you use the external mail, the message for the purchasing document is
    converted into a corresponding text file which is sent to the vendor via
    the Internet.
    SAPOffice mail is sent only within the R/3 System and has mainly the
    function of providing information.
    In particular, it is not possible to attach a message (form) for a
    purchasing document to a SAPOffice mail.
    When using external mail, the following basic settings are required:
    1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor
    master.
    2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify
    an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
    o Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the endor
    o You can use a temporary email address in Transaction ME21N.
    3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy
    needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
    You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the
    Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web
    Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define
    Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01
    is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the
    external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable
    communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a
    partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
    4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine
    'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
    5. In the condition records for the output type (for example,
    Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
    6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The
    prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set
    correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been
    carried out.
    7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF
    as the format in the node.
    To use the SAPOffice mail, the following basic settings are required:
    1. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy
    needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
    You can branch to the maintenance of the communication strategy via
    the input help.
    2. Use the SAP standard environment (program "RSNASTSO" and FORM
    routine "SAPOFFICE_AUFRUF") as the processing routines.
    3. In the condition records for the output type (for example,
    Transaction MN04), use medium '7' (SAPOffice) and also partner role
    'MP' (mail partner).
    Additional settings:
    Problem:
    How can you both change the mail title and text for the sending of a
    mail message and maintain a replacement parameter, for example a
    document number.
    Solution:
    1. The replacement routine is maintained in the Customizing for the
    output type in the detail screen on the 'General data' tab under
    'Replacement of text symbols' (for Release < 4.6B, this can be found
    on the 'Mail' tab page).
    Program: SAPMM06E
    FORM routine: TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE
    2. Maintain mail title and text.
    o If you want to send a purchase order within an R/3 system using
    the SAP office, you can maintain both the mail title ('Re:') and
    also a mail text in the Customizing for the output type To do
    this, select the directory mail title and text for the
    corresponding message type.
    o If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for
    example, to a vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the
    condition record for the output type (for example in Transaction
    MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab page. Enter the mail
    title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot maintain an
    additional mail text.
    o Note that the values from the mail title are used to create the
    description for the attachment.
    3. The replacement parameters must be enclosed by &. Example: You want
    to enter the title 'PO number '. For this you have to enter
    the following in the Document Title field (Message Customizing ->
    sub-option: Mail title and texts) 'PO number &EKKO-EBELN&'

  • 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

  • Imple mail v/s Email Fax functionality in message output determination

    Can someone tell me what is the difference between simple mail functionality v/s email fax functionality in output determination ...
    i have  a reqmt from client as follows
    1. A document neeeds to be sent to multiple email addresses and multiple faxes.
    also the document that we sending thru mail /fax shud be stored in oyr SAP system for records .
    Distribution lists is an option , but can i also use this functionality to send document via faxes ..but distribution list can only be set up for simple mail functionality ..
    Second , i donthave an option of maintaining group email id in master eg vendor master as , this functionality if sending the Agency Business documnet (ABD) to multiple email address is only for ABD ...
    However other documents like PO will be required to be sent to only someone in specific...
    Regards ,
    Madhavi solanki

    Hi,
    If you are using Simple mail functionality you can provide multiple mail ids (to whom you want to send the mail) during condition record maintenance.
    Where as in case of email - for ex: to send PO to vendor via email, you can maintain the output medium as email & system will pick the email id from the vendor master.
    Hope its clear.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Free form partner function field in Sales document header and item..

    Hello Experts,
    Is there anyway we can use the partner functions functionality in Sales document header and item level, so that we can enter a free form number in the Partner field? I mean is it possible to be able to enter a free form number WITHOUT getting validated against corresponding master data like Customer or Vendor master, Contact person, Personnel or User master records?

    Hi,
    It is not possible.
    Because partner function will be determined in the sales document header and item as per the configuration you have done in the partner determination.
    It is not possible to enter a number wihich is not created and assigned.

  • Partner functions relevant for interaction history

    Hello Experts,
    We want to register projects in our CRM system. One of the main requirements is that all partners involved in this project (both internal and external) and that the project is shown in all the BP's interaction history.
    We've copied standard transaction OPPT and use the prospect and it's contact persons to log the main partner of the project. This is working fine, as well as the internal project members.
    Problem is that external BP's (like e.g. contractors and their contact persons) can be added to the project, but when we check the interaction history of there partners, this project is not visible.
    I've tried to use different partnerfunctions for these BP's, but so far none of them have the desired effect.
    Does anyone know if there are certain partnerfunctions I can use to make sure the project is shown in their history as well, or is there another way to make this happen??
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    WYT3 as written above will contain the link.
    1/From the link you get the partner and the partner function.
    2/ With the partner function, you can determine accurately the partner type (table TPAR)
    3/Now where are the accurate phone and address !!
    3.1/ customers KNA1 => which provide a short info. More accurate is the address attached to it (table ADRC, ... )
    3.2/ vendor LFA1=> which provide a short info. More accurate is the address attached to it (table ADRC, ... )
    3.3/ contact person: KNVK. => which also provide a short info. More accurate is the address attached to it (table ADRC,ADRP, ... )
    Take into account that Function modules do exist to read easily these data.
    Hope this helped a bit

  • BTPartnerSet custom partner function relationships not showing

    Hi all,
    Using program CRM_GENIL_CUST_MAINTAIN I have successfully copied the Z-partner functions into the BTPartnerSet relationships. They are now also maintained in table view CRMV_ORLALL_BTIL so all good.
    However, when going into the GENIL_BOL_BROWSER and I browse the transaction no details of some of the Z-Partner functions are determined. So I do see the relationship but the data for the partner function is not determined.
    Any idea's? Also which class does the reading of the partner functions?
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for your input.
    The problem I have is because the partner function is defined with a '_' in it which is not something you should do because the GENIL method does do a split based on the '_' in the relationship name.
    Regards,
    John
