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.

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.

This problem can be solved by proper customizing.

Bapi_po_create1 - partner function and partner number problem

hello.
let me just first state that on ecc5 this problem doesn't exist.
we are in the middle of an ECC6 upgrade right now and i have a problem creating a PO through the BAPI on the ECC6 upgrade system, needless to say that all customization was copied from ECC5.
when trying to create the order i get an error MSG ME 350, "please enter partner number" .
i didn't get the error in ECC5. customization hasn't changed in ECC6. I've checked Ecc6 customization on MM->purchasing->partner determination. entering a partner function isn't mandatory and we've never entered a partner function before in the PO header besides the vendor number.
please help.
thanks,
Oren.

hello.
the note suggested doesn't help my case.
can someone please suggest a different solution?
maybe in ECC6 the partner function is set by default to some value? and therefore expects a partner function?
thanks,
Oren.

LSMW problem with Partner functions in Customer Master

Hi All,
Requirement is to load the Customer Master Data using LSMW.
Loading General data is ok, But when I am planning to load the
partner function using the recording method in LSMW, How do I upload
more than '1' Ship to party partners and more than '1'
Bill to party partners using LSMW.
Normally in table control there is a "+" button at the end of the
table control which when pressed enters one line in table control,In
Partner function screen , there is no such button available, so how
can I determine which line am I supposed to enter data using LSMW.
One partner can have multiple no of BP and SH partners like more than 10
of both types. How do I upload these partner functions in SAP using LSMW?
Regards,
Ajay

That a customer master has several business partners is just usual, a customer can have as well several company codes and sales areas. So where exactly is the problem?
Most problems come with recordings, recordings should be the last option, not the first.
What import method do you use?

Problem in update PO's partner function using BAPI_PO_CHANGE

Hi All,
I have some problem when i try to update PO partner function using BAPI_PO_CHANGE.

Check this code for PO update..

t_poitem-net_price = '17.00'.
APPEND t_poitem.
t_poitemx-po_item = '00010'.

t_poitemx-po_itemx = 'X'.
APPEND t_poitemx.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE'

return = t_return
poitem = t_poitem
poitemx = t_poitemx.

Problem in passing customer Partner Functions from ECC to CRM

Hi to all, I am facing the following error in the crm system
1.Partner 0000080059(DCEAB7AC31DA22F1B7CE001372368B21): the following errors occurred
Message no. BUPA_MW_EXCHANGE010
2.Status exists already for this business partner
Message no. CRM_BUPA_FRG0050012
3.Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
Message no. SMW3018
My scenario in ECC is: I use a custom BTE copy of VMD_VENDOR_BTE_1421_IMPL which is executed when I save a new vendor. In this BTE I use the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL to create a customer with the same attributes as the vendor, because only customer informations (not vendor informations) pass as Business Partners in CRM. The problem is that when I pass only master datas to the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, the customer passes to CRM as a Business Partner with the same number, but when I pass also Partner Functions to FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, no Business Partner is created in CRM, and the error I get is that up.
What can I do?
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Hola Antonio,
I have a same problem.
You can tell me the solution.
Please.

VA05 Partner Function Selection Problem

Hi Guys,
In VA05 report when we click on Partner Function button then click on drop down it is showing only Sold to Party . User want to see all the partner functions in the drop down. I am not sure where the selection of partner function is controlled.
Please let me know if you guys have any idea.
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
VA05 is Sales Order report to enable end-user to view all order based on given requirement. This means that you can only find the data based on Partner Function's criteria of Sold-to or Ship-to.
The other partner functions will not get you the desired result here. You need to look for other report.

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.

Thanks & Regards
V.Srinivas

Hi V.srinivas,
For Order Replication from ECC system to CRM system your Configurations for both the system must be Coinciding.
Hope your Partner Function Determination in ECC and CRM are also maintained the Same way,else check for the Determination of Sub-Partner Function determination (Ship to Party,Bill to Party..) in ECC and CRM the way its maintained.
The Main Problem arising in your Order is after replication from ECC System your Sub-Partner Functions aren't getting Determined,
Check for the Partner Determination Procedure in CRM for the Sub-Partners and try to Determine them from your Main Partner Function e.g. Sold to Party.
Hope it Solves your Query..

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.

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.
Thanks,

Partner function for a team in Change Request Management

I have defined a new transaction type based on Urgent Correction. I have three partner functions:
Change Manager, Team Member and Quality Assurance Team. The first two partner functions are represented by single business partner so I can define them like employee. The third one should be represented by a team of persons, so that the Correction can be seen by every person belonging to this team in their worklist. How can I define a partner function like a team and how can I assign single business partner to the team. I would have something like this:
I have three business partners A(11),B(12),C(13) belonging to the QA team(20). When I put 20 in the QA team field, i want that the correction is in the worklist of A,B,C.
Thanks
Antonello

hi antonello lapolla,
The business partner should automatically created for the Org unit.
Now if you are trying to use the existing Org unit, the business partner are not assigned to them.
Try this:
1) You will have to activate HR integration.
GO thru note 550055.
maintain table T77S0 as per the obove notes:
the following entry needs to be made:
HRALX HRAC X Activate HR Integration
Check if the value X is present or not..
Also try
HRALX PBPON ON description
Entry should be made if its not there already.
2) Create new Organization unit using IMG activity (Create a Root Unit for Your Organizational Structure under Service Desk node).
Now to this org unit, right click create postions or Org unit under the newly created org Unit.
Then you will find that Business partner is automatically assgined to the newly created Org unit.
If business partners are not automatically created then apply following notes:
0000997009 PPOME: Search help for business partners
0001008656 Error message 5A XXX when you assign position
Please Reward if your problem is solved.

New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

Hi CRM Gurus!,
Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure".
These are the values. fro my new function:
Function: ZSLFN004
Text: Additional Processor
Abbrev.: ZAMS
Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
The partner functions in my procedure are:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Hi Vishant,
Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Partner function for customer through IDOC

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need to create the customer master through IDOC. I am using DEBMAS basic type for that. In its functionality, I need to assign different partner functions to it.
When I create customer without giving any partner details, 4 entries get created by default with partner functions as BP, SP, PY, SH and KUNN2 value as INTERNAL or the same customer number which is getting created. But I want that the customer number provided by me should be assigned as partner function. Is there any way to change the default entry which is getting created so that I can replace the INTERNAL customer number with the one provided by me.
I identified the segment as E1KNVPM in it at hierarchy level 3. I passed the partner function in the PARVW field of it and provided the customer number which I want to assign as partner function in the KUNN2 field. But I am getting error Customer INTERNAL already exists for function <Partner function>.
Am I missing something. Any msgfn or any other input.
Please help me on this.
Thanks
Natasha
