Partner function not determined if not made mandatory in customizing

Hi!
I have never come across this issue before so maybe it is standard system behaviour. My client is on a ECC 5.0 system and has the need to set upp an new partner function on the ship-to-party which should be derived on the delivery. I have set up the partner function to be available on the ship-to -party and also on the delivery document. However even if the ship-to-party master record has an entry for this new partner (whih is a contact person by the way), the partner is not determined at all on the delivery document unless I make the pertner function mandatory in partner determination for the delivery. This works, but I would rather only get the partner derived when there is a parnter stored on the ship-to. In the current case there will be an entry in the ship-to partner tab with the new partner function and number zero for all cases when the ship-to does not contain a record for the new partner.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Eric and Eduardo!
This issue is not really to get the contact persons created in the customer master partner tab. The issue is that I want the partner if available in the ship-to-pary partner tab to be added in the delivery partner tab. If no partner is available, nothing should happen at all.
I seem to remember that this behaviour is standard in the sales order, but I could be wrong. I did a similar set-up years ago and I think that the partners were derived without having to set them as mandatory in the partner determination.
The note of FAQ unfortunately did not solve the problem.

Partner function SP determine in the sales order

Dear SD Gurus,
I want to determine the partner function SP in the sales order, when not entered anyvalue, the sales should give incopleteness check.
But what the client here wants is that, sometimes the client wont enter any value on the sales order,so he will deleted the automatcally determined part function on the partner tab of the sales order header.
Here the partner function should be not mandatory (because when the client wants to deleted the line ofn the header tab,system doesnt allow to do it). Also the partner function should not be not modifiable, because he may want to change it when sth wrong has been entered.
So to automatically determined the partner function on the sales order,either modifiable or mandatory should be selected as I know.But when both are selected, this is not a good way for usage.
Do you have any suggeston to make this partner functon automatically determine on the sales order and when wanted, deleted?
Thanks
Jack

Hi,
Try this way and see whether it's what is require by the customer.
First of all what is this Partner function your talking about?
Can you maintain this Partner function for each customer? If possible you can try this method.
Go to below IMG path:
Sales and Distribution / Basic Functions / Partner Determination / Set Up Partner Determination / Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master
Then highlight the "Partner Determination Procedure"
Double click on "Partner Functions in Procedure" node
If you haven't maintained your partner function there, add it
Set it Mandatory if you want it to be set mandatory for each customer.
Save
Then go to below IMG path:
Sales and Distribution / Basic Functions / Partner Determination / Set Up Partner Determination / Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header
Highlight the relevant Partner Determination Procedure for Order Header
Double click on "Partner Functions in Procedure" node
Add If you haven't maintained your partner function there, add it
Don't Mark it as mandatory or not modifiable
Save
Now go to you customer master from XD02 transaction.
System will ask you to add new partner function as it is Mandatory.
Now create a Sales order from that customer.
System will automatically copy that Partner function to you Order Header.
If user wants to delete it, he can delete it from there.
If user want to change it, he can change it from there.
Hope this helps !
Best regards,
Anupa

Partner function not copied from notification to order

hi
i am using same partner determination procedure for notification and service order. i have defined some new partner functions in the procedure. the problem i'm facing is that only the partner functions which are made mandatory are getting copied from notifictaion to order. however i cannot make all the partner functions mandatory because they may not be relevant for all cases.
is this common behaviour of system and if so is there any solution (without making partner functions mandatory)
thanks in advance
koustav

Hi,
This is a Standard Functionality . You can try using the below USER-EXIT for your requirement.
EXIT_SAPLV09A_002:
Use this is customer has to be maintained to a specific sales area.
EXIT_SAPLV09A_003:
This suits more of your requirement.
INCLUDE ZXV09U03 - Add your code to copy the specific partner alone to the Doucment if it is an NOTIFICATION TO ORDER alone.
This is used to control the orgin of partners in the Partner determination procedure..
Hope this helps.

Partner functions not adopting in RFQ and Purchase 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 Function not picked in Scheduling agreement.

Hi
I have maintained the Partner functions in Vendor master.
But when i create a Scheduling agreement, the partner functions are not picked from Vendor master.
Can any body help on this please?
Thanks & regards,
Sasi

Dear Sir,
I am also face same problem.
AIM : I want to display manufacture name in good receipt.
I done : I have create one charecteristic for manufacture and in this charecteristic i have assign field of manufacture name which is maintain in vendor partner role. Then i have maintain one batch class RM_class and it assign to material.But when i want to display manufacture name in good receipt it is not display.
Analysis : The field of manufacture name is not saved in any table it is use in structure. so field of manucture is not caintain any value so it can't display any valve in good receipt.
Solution: If you give name of manufactue in CT04(charecteristic of manufacture) and this charecteristic assign to class(RM_class) then this class is assign to material.Than when you create good receipt and select manufacture name it will display at the time of batch determination and also when you want to dispaly mateiral list by manufacture you can see it with help of BMBC.
If you have any other idea please explan me.

Partner Functions not appearing

Hi
When the PO is created manually, the Partner Function is being picked up from the Vendor Master. But when the PO is created for the same vendor with reference to the PR, the Partner Functions are not being populated in PO. The Vendor Master has Partner Functions defined and the Partner Schema is assigned to the concerned Puchasing Document type and Vendor Account Group. Any specific reason why the Partner Functions are not appearing in PO when created with ref. to PR?
Regards
Prashanth

Hi,
Check vendo subrange or plant level data is ativated for that vendor.
Are you using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO ?
Also check in partner determination > partne settings in purchasing documents > defie partner schemas, here end & higher level check mark is there?

Z partner function not available in details tab of PCUI

Hi gurus,
I have created a Z partner function in GUI and included in the determination procedure as well as in the z transaction type for opportunity. Included in the user interface setings as well.
In the details tab(PCUI) there are only 3 standard partner functions and the z partner functions are not appearing.
Can some one explain the procedure for getting those z partner functions in PCUI details tab.
Full points will be awarded if the solution solves the problem.

Hello Praveen,
If you add a Z partner function in your partner determination procedure, you will have it available in the partner tab but not on the information tab.
There is no 'customizing' way to replace the existing partner funcition (account, contact, employee) by a Z partner function or to add it.
To add it, you have to:
- create an append to the screen structure with the fields you want to display
- add coding in the read method of your MAC to display the value
- add coding in the modify method of your MAC to modify the value.
So, adding the fields in the structure is not enough. Moreover, you can add tehm in the tab linked to the screen structure but not anywhere on the application.

Fred

Vendor partner function not available for pricing

Dear Consultants,
I am using a self defined partner function which is a vendor and attached to my customer master in sales area data tab.
I have defined a condition table in which one of the key is this partner function. The condition record is maintained for this combination but during sale order creation this value is not getting determined in pricing. In the pricing analysis screen a exclamaiton sign is seen against this.
Kindly help as to how to make the system read the value attached in the partner function tab.
Thanks & Regards
Sourabh

You will need to populate it in MV45AFZZ in userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk.

3. I have checked the Partner types there is not problem with that.

Partner Function Check while changing partner Functions not assigned to SP

Dear All,
I have created a Partner profile and its working fine.
But recently there was a problem reported, where in the User changed the Bill to Party at the Sales order header which was not defiend in the Customer Master, this Bill to Customer was defined in the same sales Area as the Order was.
The Problem is it was a typo error by teh user while modifying the default Bill To. They realsied it only after the Invocie was sent to a different payer.
Could we have a check built in where the system pops up error when we choose a partner function which is not assigned in the Customer master??
And to my surpise now I noticed that its allowing me to enter any Bill to and payer Partned which is defined in the Sales Area as the Sales Order is.
I expect to have someting in teh customisation to give up a error.
Thansk for all your help.

System will accept any SH/PY/BP in same sale area to put in sale order, this is the std functionality.
In order to change this u need to use Userexit.
In MV45AFzz and Include in USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE you can have the same logic to put error while PY/SH/BP not in CMR.

Middleware-Partner Functions not getting attached after BP replication

Dear SDN team,
We have an problem related to CRM middleware . We have enabled Middleware to download BPs from SAP R/3 system to CRM 5.2 system.
Problem: We are able to download the individual BPs like Sold to party and Bill to party from SAP R/3 system to the CRM system. _But the Partner function relationships are not getting attached to these BPs after the replication from ERP to CRM _. I mean the Bill to party is not getting attached to the respective Sold to Party in the CRM system .
Strangely the Contacts for individual BPs is getting replicated via BP relationships
Can someone help me to solve this problem.
What should we do on the MW settings to replicate the respective BP relationships ??
Kindly get back urgently . Suitable points will be awarded for the useful solution.
Regards
Ritvij

Ritvij,
You can try as suggest to setup a filter on CUSTOMER_REL on KVNK. I would exclude any entries where PARNR is a non null value. Beyond that you may need to do a middleware exit to block that data on the R/3 side.
For your second question:
R/3 Account Group = CRM BP Grouping
Your settings PIDE should transfer the the account group to CRM. You will need however to maintain a corresponding grouping with number range on the CRM.
I believe from a business partner "role" perspective, you need to do a middleware exit if you want to replicate the custom account group into a custom role.
If you do however have a relationship then you need need to do the mapping configuration for this.
In the CRM IMG you can use the Menu Path:
CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Data Transfer. This will alow you to map in any custom partner functions from R/3 into CRM and be linkded on the business partner master.
Take care,
Stephen
