Partner Function - Sales Employee & Employee as Customer

Dear Gurus,
My doubt is:
1. Sales Employee- who brings the sales
2. Employee as Customer- Employee in the same company and also purchases some products from the same company.
In the above 2 cases what are the total settings required?
HR module also being implemented here.
Pl elaborate for both the cases separately.
Regards,
Sreehari

hello, friend.
if the employee is created as a customer, you use t-code XD01 or VD01. the default partner function would be SP (sold-to party) or an equivalent partner function as a result of the account group used. the result is that a customer number (SD generated) is assigned.
as employee can also be a sales employee with partner function VE or SE, and you use t-code VPE1 for this. the employee number (HR generated) is then assigned.
both can work for you, but each has its own advantages. for example, you can track sales employee link to SD transactions in SIS if you use the employee number (HR). if you want to track employee purchases, then the customer number (SD) will be relevant.
regards.

Partner Function- Sales Order item level

Hi Gurus,
I want to assigne Partner function -Employee responsible at sales order item level.
i did the configuration settings and i am able to assigne the employee numner at sales order item level but i am not able to assigne partner function-employee resp more than 1. i want to assigne N number partner function- Emp Resp.
kindly tell me the p

Hi sumith
As you want to assign N number of employees at item level . first of all go to IMG->sales and distribution ->basic functions->partner determination procedure->partner determination procedure at item level
While doing partner determination procedure at item level don't check the boxes when you assign to your partner determination procedure. and just assign the sales Employee partner function apart from the standard partner functions.(SP,SH,BP,PY).
Now when you create the sales order and manually you can assign the sales employee number for all items.

Contact person of partner function sales orders

Hi,
i need to save in all the sales orders the contact person. But i need to know who is the contact for the AG partner and the contact for RE ,....
How can i do? How i know the contact person is from who partner function.
Thanks

Dear Friend,
Option 1:
From KNVK you can get Customer-wise Contact Partner Details.
From KNVP you can get Partner Function-wise (AG, RE, etc) details of Customer codes.
Now take these data into Excel & run a Vlookup. You will have a ready list of Partner Function-wise Contact Persons.
Option 2:
You can gererate a Query in SQ00 & Link KNVK & KNVP Tables.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Partner functions (R/3- CRM) based on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) or CP

Hi all gurus,
I am trying to replicate an partner-function base on personnel number/employee number for customers from R/3 to CRM.
For those partner-functions only the employee number is filled in KNVP-PERNR (the KNVP-KUNN2, KNVP-LIFNR and KNVP-PARNR are empty).
If I follow the replication process I don't see the employee number getting mapped to the "bapimtcs structure" (in function module COM_BUPA_MWX_CREATE_REL) and therefore those partnerfunctions are not replicated to CRM.
(all employees are entered in HR-R/3 and downloaded to CRM as business partners)
Basically this is exatly the same situation described in the following forum:
[Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) |Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR)]
What (function modules/configuration) is necessary to get those partner-functions being replicated to CRM?
Unfortunately I was pretty unable to collect valid solution track.
Thanks in advance,
AndreA

Hi Andrea,
We were able to solve the exact same issue.
Here are steps used by us to fix the issue :
IMG Settings in CRM :
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer>Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM>
Partner Function = VE
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014) ( can be any other partner function which is a employee)
Usage= CRM
Also make sure the following settings are also done
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer-->Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014)
Partner Function Cat = Employee
Scenario = CRM
R/3 func = VE ( even though you are using the PE partner function in ECCwe use VE here as you know VE is the german version of PE)
Type = MR master record
Also make sure that SAP Notes 1020514 and 1099363 have been applied in ECC.
Let me know if you have any issues. This should fix it.
Thanks

Account Group and partner functions in customer master records

Hi Gurus,
I need your help to confirm the following understand if correct:
1. To create customer master record for partner function Ship-To, need to create a customer master record using the uniquely assigned account group for Ship-To , that is, 0002 . In this ship-to master record, define in its partner function tab, the other partner functions related to it.
2. To create the above, it cannot be achieved by just assigning the partner functions in the partner function tab of SOLD-To customer master record , created using account group 0001.
Question:
1. How does the system know or allow what codes a user can select (f4) or enter manually when defining in customer master record's partner function tab, the partner functions and their respective codes?
How is this controlled? Is it by user authorization? or will user / sales administrator be able to select any codes tied to a partner function?
2. Lets say there are 2 partner functions : Sales employee VE and 9E called Sales Representative. Both of these partner functions are of Partner Type PE.
When defining in customer master record's partner function tab, how does the system know what codes is selectable for the administrator for each of these partner functions?
best regards
M Russo

hi russo,
this is to inform you that,
1. yes you are right.
2. you need to follow the steps as you said.
Question:
1. that you can find in the search basing on account group for partners. that assignment we should know russo which SH to be assigned to which SP. no need to have authorization for that, make a note of the list of SH and SP to be assigned that's all.
yes, he will able to select any SH from the list but make sure that we assign the correct SH to the list of SP.
2. that you will be defining it in Partner Determination Procedures. at the time of CMR creation you have to select the correct code that will get populated in sales order.
hope this clears your issue.

Custome Partner Function from SD to CO-PA

Hi,
I have created 3 custom partner functions and have assinged in customer master. I need these 3 custom partner function to be transfered to CO-PA during billing. Is there a easy way around to achieve this, coz there are some SAP notes which are sort of confusing and complex, since we are already live in production, we cant take a chance on the SAP Note.
If somebody experienced like this, could you please share the knowledge, how to achieve this.
Thanks.
With Regards
gj

Hi Gj,
There are no simple way around to get the customer partner function in to CO-PA during billing. You must follow the notes to get the correct value transfered to CO-PA. I will outline the steps below so that you do not miss anything.
I am going to try to summarize the basic steps to add one or
more new partner function(s). For more detailed information
please see the notes 36557, 32878, 12682 and 93658 although some o
these notes are known for you.
Add new domain/data element for the new partner function in the
ABAP/4 Data Dictionary.
Examples are the data elements KUNAG, KUNWE, KUNRE, KUNRG,
SPDNR, and VRTNR in structure MCPARTNER. This is where the
partner functions for the Standard Sales Information System are
defined.
Save the new partner field in structure MCPARTUSR (user part of
structure MCPARTNER) or, if available extend structure
MCPARTUSR by an append structure (ZAMCPARTUS).
Make sure that the check tables and foreign key relationships are
maintained for the new fields in structure MCPARTUSR
Define the assignment of partner function < > new partner
field in the communication structure.
Program RMCSUZ10, routine USR_PARTNER_GET.
Add the line as in the example of note 12682 given.
Include the corresponding field via transaction 'KEA0' from the
structure PAPARTNER into the Profitability Analysis data structures
If your new partnerrole is a representative/sales employee please
apply note 32878.
Should you have implemented note 43002 (to prevent a field overflow
in pricing) please follow note 93658 and use userexit
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp instead of
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk.
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp is contained in Include MV45AFZZ
(sales order) and RV60AFZZ (billing)
Add the new field to the structure 'KOMPAZ' as in note 93658
described and NOT to the structure 'KOMKAZ' (note 36557)
(you have used both structures)
Generate the operating concern and check if the following entries
are included in TKEZU:
Charact. BTran Table      Field name Offset Length
XXXXX     KEDR KOMP      YYYYY
XXXXX     KEDR KOMP      YYYYY
XXXXX     KEDR KOMP      YYYYY
XXXXX = Field name of the partner function in the profitability
analysis
YYYYY = Field name of the partner function in structure KOMP
(these entries should be made automatically here).
If you need more than one partner function please repeat the
steps as described above for your need.

Abhisek

Proposal of partner function and related master record in sales order

Hi Gurus,
As we know, a partner determination procedure is used to propose partner functions and the master data tied to them in the sales order.
I need to confirm the following if understanding is correct:
1. 1st a customer master record is entered with all the partner functions, say, SP SH PY BP and 9E (PE partner type).
The respective master record values like who is the SP SH PY BP and 9E are specified in the partner function tab also.
This customer master is assigned to a account group.
2. a Partner determination procedure is created and the same partner functions assigned to it.
Next, this procedure is assigned to the account group.
3. When I create an order for this customer, the sales order's partner function tab should automatically be populated with the partner functions and the respective master data value as defined in the customer master record.
Questions:
1. What if the partner determination procedure was not defined with 9E Partner function but the customer master record is?
2. What if the customer master record was not defined with 9E but the partner procedure is?
3. Why the partner procedure need to define the partner functions if its assigned to account group to which the customer master is assigned to already?
4. If the partner function 9E is not proposed in the sales order, can user manually enter this partner function and the respective master record value in the sales order partner function tab?
Have a great day!
regards
M Russo

Hi,
1. What if the partner determination procedure was not defined with 9E Partner function but the customer master record is?
If the partner determination procedure is not defiend you can not maintain same in customer master the system will through you error message PE is missing.
2. What if the customer master record was not defined with 9E but the partner procedure is?
It depends how you want propose the same,
According the function it behaves, you can make this field is mandatory if you want the same is to customer master
3. Why the partner procedure need to define the partner functions if its assigned to account group to which the customer master is assigned to already?
normally the standard partner procedure follows as it is SP SH BL PY Still if you want add some other partners(agent,employee,contact person...etc.) you can define the same in the procedure.
4. If the partner function 9E is not proposed in the sales order, can user manually enter this partner function and the respective master record value in the sales order partner function tab?
As you can refer the second point if you set as optional you can enter the same in customer master partner function tab.
Hope this can helps,
Thanks and Best Regards,

Multiple Partner Function in a sales Order

Hi
I have created a partner function ZR Referred By ( Type Customer) but not able to enter multiple ZR in a sales Order
Error .VPD012. Partner Function can occur only 1 in ..
The requirement is to attach the referred customers for reporting purpose and there can be more than one customer referring this new Customer / Order.

Hi
Thanks for the input but the solutions suggested by you all does not work.
The Unique button is only relevant for Customer Master and not the Order. In the Order you can have only one.
The Button Modifiable is only for allowing you to change a Partner and not adding another partner with the same partner function.
Any way I figured a way out, we can use the system provided AA ( Partner Function) and able to use multiple AAs in a Service Contract./Scheduling agreements.
But if you need to have multiple partner in a sales Order ...Only way seems to be to have Z1, Z2 Etc ...
Thanks

Do i need to create a new zobject nor enhance the customer master ? nor simply create an sales head object in bw and define the characteristics as Reference characteristics??

Thanks
Pooja

Hi,
You should enhance the standard Data source 0customer_attr with that additional partner function (sales head) as per the proper logic and replicate the same . if it is 3.5 that same object( related to that field length and data type) same object can be added as attribute at info object level and do the transfer rules and activate that and try to the load.

Customer is not assigned to a partner function

Hi Experts,
I'm encountering the same error. When I view the Customer and click Customer Partner Functions, system throws a message Customer SP0003 is not assigned to a partner function
How do I assign my newly created Customer to a Partner Function Sold-to-Party?
I've checked the setup for Partner Determination: Customer Master, the settings are as follows:
Partner Determination Procedures:
AG Sold-To Party
IN Sales Prospect
KO Consumer
RE Bill-to Party
RG Payer
SO Assortment cust.
WE Ship-to party
WESR GR w/ MatSafSheetRec
Partner Functions in Procedure:
AG SP Sold-to party NotModifiabe, Mandatory
AG BP Bill-to party Mandatory

AG SH Ship-to party Mandatory
Partner Determination Procedure Assignment:
Account Group YG01 (account group of new Customer) assigned to AG (Sold-to-Party)
Account Groups - Function Assignment:
SP Sold-to party YG01 Customer BP
Is there any other config I should do?

Go to IMG path -- SD --> Basic Functions --> Partner Determination --> Setup Partner Determination --> Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
- There block "AG Sold To Party" and double click on "Partner Functions in Procedure".
- Ensure that for AG, you have maintained SP and the box Mandatory is checked.
- Block AG/SP and double click on "Partner Determination Procedure Assignment" and see for Group 0001, AG is assigned
- Click on "Partner Functions" and see for SP, KU is maintained under the tab Partner Type and the box is checked
- Click on Account Groups-Function Assignment. Here ensure that the Account Group are assigned to your SP.

How to find master data info objects. Partner function and customer class.

hi,
Can you please tell me what are the available extractors for Partner Function (PARVW from VBPA)and Customer Class (KUKLA from KNA1).
I hope these fields are master data. I checked in 0customer. But I didn't find it. There is a info object (Business partner). Is it the same?
pls reply

I will admit that I am not familiar with ECC and there may be different interpretations of what KUKLA means and different means of extracting Customer information to/from ECC.
However, for us, when extracting Customer Attributes using the 0CUSTOMER_ATTR datasource in R/3, we map KUKLA to 0CUST_CLASS. They are both set up as 2 CHAR. That is not to say that you should also. You can map it to a custom infoobject in BW as long as you set it up as an attribute of 0CUSTOMER. KUKLA is available in the standard datasource 0CUSTOMER_ATTR in R/3. When looking at what is available in the infosource for 0CUSTOMER in BW, 0CUST_CLASS is a logical choice to map.
As far as VBPA-PARVW, VBPA is not a source for master data for 0BPARTNER. VBPA contains the business partners associated with Sales documents. So if you are going to create a data provider (cube/ODS) in BW and VBPA-PARVW is part of the transactional datasource in R/3, the you can map it to 0BPARTNER in your cube/ODS.
Hope this helps.

hi,

Kindly advise if there is some field in the sales order,which can be usd for the same(header level) and thereby the requirement be met.

Hello Priyanka,
(1) go to: Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master > Partner Functions
Check whether the CP partner function exists or not. "CP" is SAP standard delivered Partner Function and must be there.
(2) go to: Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master > Partner Determination Procedures
Check whether this partner function is included in your Customer Master Partner Determination Procedure for Sold-To Party or what ever account group you want.
(3) Now go to your Customer Master Record and create a Contact Person Record and save it.
(4) then go to Customer Master Record > Sales Area Data > Partner Functions tab and select the drop down list on Partner Fucntion to enter CP and select the drop down list for Customer Number and press enter then it should list your Contact Person Number then select it and save it.
(5) To flow this CP into Sales Order Make sure that the Sales Document Header Partner Determination Procedure has this partner function included.
Follow this path: go to: Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header > Partner Determination Procedures
Thanks and please reward points if helpful.

Partner functions directly from Customer master to Billing Header

Hello all,
We need to copy some partner functions from customer master record directly into billing header. we need to do that to avoid billing split.
For example, we have partner function Sales Agent in customer master. We need this function in invoices... but if we change sales agent assignment for a lot of clients, now, we need to change a lot of sales order to avoid invoice splits...
Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hello Jose,
if the partner is already present in the previous sales order, then it is copied to billing document.
No possibility to get it directly from master data.
If it is OK for the business, you could put the Sales agent in the item partner procedure of the billing document (and remove it from header partner procedure). In this way there is not a billing split.
Best regards,
Ivano.
