Partner Function Limit

Dear Experts,
I am having one scenario. My client has at least 20 "goods supplier" for a particular vendor. Can it be maintained in SAP. Is there any limit of no for maintaining partners in SAP. eg any such constraint that we can main only 5 no as "ggod Supplier" partner??
Points to be awarded for all useful replies.

Santosh

Hi Santosh,
You can maintain multiple Goods suppliers in the partner functions of the vendor & iam sure that there would be no limitation on that.
Reward Points if useful
Thanks & Regards

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.

How can I add search parameter "Partner Function" to the inbox in ICweb?

Hello
I need to add search parameter "Partner Function" to the inbox ICweb search.
Today I can search for My open transaction.
The meaning of "My" in the EM Responsible parameter is that my BP number assign to any transaction in any partner function.
I wont to limit the search to look in a particular partner function. for example: 00000014 Employee responsible.
I mean in hardcode and not as a parameter selection screen.
I know that this functionality exist in CRM5 but i am in CRM4

CRM 4.0 and Partner Functions?

As I understand it, they believe that there is a limitation on the number of partner functions that can be replicated
between CRM 4.0 and ERP?
And the limitation is a total of 999?
But what if more than 999 are needed?
I guess that these are created as follows:
Transaction SPRO
u2013 CRM
u2013 Basic Functions
u2013 Partner Processing
u2013 Data Transfer
u2013 Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into R/3
and the table involved is CRMC_PARTNER_2R3
Is there a workaround?
Is there a greater number of partner functions allowed in newer CRM releases?

The limitation is the standard system design in ERP, not CRM.
There is a limit of 999 entries due to a field length of 3 characters. Please see table KNVP - the field PARZA is the Partner Counter, and you can see in the table that it is defined as only 3 characters, hence the 999 limitation.
Here are 2 options to consider to demonstrate that there are possible options:
- A ship-to partner does not need to be assigned to a sold-to in order to be used on a sales order. As long as the ship-to has been
set up (using transaction XD01 and account group 0002) you can use any ship-to in an order.Break up the sold-to by regions or some other means so that you can accommodate all of the ship-to's.
- You could possibly make a work round by changing the domain PARZA to 4 digits , but this would be a work round and would require a full investigation on the feasibility of this change. Unfortunately this would have to be on a Consultancy basis, see SAP Note 83020. Also SAP Note 170183 would apply.

Ecsallation of Complaint - Assign to next Partner function

Hi,
I want to escalate the complaint to the concern person if it is not taken over by the responsible person within time limit. I just have 5 statuses and if transaction exist in the particular status more than the specified time limit it should get assigned to partner function defined in partner determination procedure. So that the transaction will fall in my work list of the higher authority.
My one more concern is how to configure condition for this. I know configuration of condition but not exactly for this scenario.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil
Lets say you have status - A,B,C,D,E,F and you have responsible persons X, Y, Z identified in your complaints
Now when the complaint is created it can be directly assigned to X via action mail ( condition - status A, Action condition partner dependent and partner X)
Now the second action will be on a batch report (lets say the date type ZDate = todays date + 2 hours) (Start Condition will be when date type todays date and time = Zdate) (action def. partner depepndent Y)
The batch program will continuosly check for the date and time and when the condition is met it will execute a mail to Y ( it can be a smart form mail with the details that it is an escalated mail as it was not done in status A and specfied SLA)
Hope this addresses your concern

Creation of partner functions for customer master with LSMW

Hello,
I try to create partner functions together with a customer via Batch Input in LSMW.
Object: 0050, method: 0000, program name: RFBIDE00, program type: B.
I use the structure BKNVP (Customer master partner functions) to create a new partner and set values for the fields KTONR and PARVW.
When I start the batch input the fields are filled in correctly in a new dynpro. After the confirmation of these values the dynpro changes back to the partner functions sscreen, but the value for KTONR isn'n being transferred. So I get an error message.
Is it only possible to update partner functions with that BI or what is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance and regards
Alex

Hi Alex,
Could you specify what error message you are getting?

Automatic assignment of Partner Function (Dealer) based on Postal Code?

Hi Experts,
We are realizing a project in the Bathroom-Product Industry. Responsible for the service to the end-clients are authorized dealer. When creating a service ticket the responsible dealer has to be assigned automatically to the ticket on the basis of the postal code where the IBase (the product) is installed.
The process is:
1. The client is calling the Interaction Centre and first the IC Agent has to identify the account and the Installed Base (The installed base contains the postal code where the product of the client is installed) of this account.
2. An Interaction Record is created to record this inbound call.
3. Afterwards a Service Ticket is created as a follow-up Document of the Interaction Record. In the moment of the creation of the Service Ticket the correct dealer has to be assigned automatically to the Service Ticket (as a Partner Function not as a Service Organization) on the basis of the postal code of the installed base.
I have the following question! Which are the steps to assign automatically a Business Partner Function to a Service Ticket? We also need to create a Z-Table with the postal codes for which every dealer is responsible.
Example:
Dealer 1 is responsible for the postal codes: 08040 - 08045 and 08056 - 08059. If a client is calling and his product (Installed Base) is installed in Postal Code 08042 or 08054 the dealer 1 has to be assigned to the service ticket.
I hope I could make myself clear ;-)? Anybody can give me a hint how to do that? What are the basic steps?

Slightly similiar, originally being an R/3 customer before implementing CRM our dealer equated to sales office.
In the CRM Org model (PPOMA_CRM) in the attributes of the sales office we entered the Regions & Postal codes for that dealer (pain in the arse to do) and in CRM the sales office in the org creates a BP.
We used a org rule for the IR record based on country, region, postal code to determine the appropriate sales org, DC, div, and sales office based onthe zip code. We created a custom partner function to represent the partner number of the BP from the org model. Then we configured a custom relationship "ZORG" "Is partner of sales office" and went into the BP master and assigned the actual dealer number as a partner to BP from the org model that = sales office. From that we configured a custom access sequence to pull the actual dealer number from the org model office relationships.
We looked at territory management, but our dealer is an "org BP" and territory management appeared to want to drive to a person BP number.

Problem in creation of partner function creation.

Hi all,
During customer Master upload using LSMW direct method, Iam getting this problem.
while creating Sales view using XD01, three partner function VE (Sales Representative), SH (Ship-to party), ZI (Front Office) are getting displayed in the last tab of sales view creation.
Because of some customizing,value for SH is getting populated automatically. But the values for VE & SH are not getting populated from the flat file.
But the values are present in the respective field (KTONR) and able to see in the display convert data.
If I enter the manual value during runtime in LSMW, it accepts the value. Since it involves huge amount of data, manual entry for records is not possible.
Kindly provide the solution.
Regards
Narasingam.B

This problem can be solved by proper customizing.

I can not see all "Divisions" in BP Rel.--Partner Function Assignment

Hi,
When I edit "Partner Function Assignment" in BP reliationship such like BUR011("Employee Responsible"),
I can not see all "Divisions" in list which I can see in configuration via SPRO-->Customer Relationship Management->Master Data->Orgnizational Management->Division Setting->Define Divisions.
E.g., in configuration, I can see 7 records of divisions from "001" to "007", but in "Partner Function Assignment" of BP relationship, I can only see "002" to "004".
Do you know why? Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Long

hi
that should not be happening,if they are visible in one client then should be there in another too
do one things try run this
hrbc1_atributes_buffer_update
it will refresh the buffers of your org structure and then you may be able to add this
also check the check box where it is mentioned that"object determination should be permitted"
remember it will run only for once after you run this the check box will be unchecked again
i guess it may solve your probs
also try to structure your org structure index
use t code
crmd_index_om
and withtin the object type give O
and execute
best regards

Can we view SH's partner functions in Sales Order?

Hi All,
SP has a different SH and FA is assigned to SH in master record. When we create order we can see all the partner functions of SP but we can't see partner functions of SH. User wants to see which FA is assigned to SH. We can only view partner functions of SH in delivery document. Is it possible to view partner functions of SH in sales order as well? Please suggest the ways to configure this setting.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Yes, you can view . Check the Partner determination procedure, include the partner function SH to your partner determination procedure assigned for your sales order.

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.

Partner functionality in release order

Dear Gurus,
I have created a contract with partner functionality.
I created a Purchase Requisition referring contract (Using source of supply). I need to create Po in ME21N by adopting PR. System copies all the other details but not partner details. I need to enter partner details manually in PO.
But When I create a PO in ME21N by adopting the same contract, partner details are automatically copied from contract.
Please suggest me what should I do If my PO should copy partner details of contract (while creating PO adopting PR)
Regards,
Sastry

i hope , if u have created the vendor master , then PO will take all details of partner form vnedor master .
SO check the which details u are updating manually, the same as its maintained in master data or not.
IF not maintain it in vendor master .

PO and partner functions of a contract

Hello,
We have the following problem:
In our system, we maintain partner functions in the partner functions of the vendor.
And for this vendor we have a contract. However, we don't maintain partner functions in the contract.
But when we create a PO for the vendor and the contract, the system looks for partner function in the contract and doesn't look any more for the partner functions in the vendor. but, as we have no partner functions in the contract....partner functions in PO are empty.
I can't find customizing point to indicate that we don't want to look partners functions in contract. Is it possible?
Thanks,

the data is always taken from the most specific source, which is the contract in your case. it is not possible to use contracts and omit at the same time the partners (or not available partners) from the contract.

Question on Contract - Partner function

Hi all
For eg.
I created a CONTRACT in ECC and its vendor as VN 11111 ( OA ORDERING ADDRES 22222.)
Later Vendor master team changes in the vendor OA as 33333 from OA 22222 for VN 11111.
Can I expect the same changes in ME33K , HEADER , partner -> porg -> OA as 33333 or OA as 22222?
can i see the vendor master data changes in ECC contract.
that means when i create a PO w.r.t my contract , This PO should pick as OA 33333 but it picks ordering as old OA 22222?
is it right fuctionality?
appreciate your quick help.
BR
Muthu

Thanks Arun
Old one needs to be manually corrected. And transactional data takes precedence over the master data.
Old one needs to be manually corrected - where plese be specific. in the bendor master or contract.
my question is if i change in vendor master OA , i am expecting contract also must pic the same but it is not happening.
can you refhrase the answer.
should i change the partner function via contract -hetail-partner details?
what does mean only one needs to be manually corrected IN VENDOR MASTER OR CONTRACT?
