Partner function twice in a document

HI All,
Can anyone guide how can we enter one partner function twice in a Delivery document.
For Ex: I have a Delivery document where i need to enter CR-forwarding agent as twice with different Agent numbers.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Goto to SPRO>Sales & Disribution>Basic Function>Partner Determination>Set up partner determination>set up partner determination for Sales Document Header and select the Partner determination procedure and at the left hand side choose Partner function. Here you can enter your partner function twice.
I hope this will resolve your issue.
Thanks

Partner function setting in purchasing document

why we do partner function settings in purchasing document, like if we don't do this or if we do this then what would be the impact?
plz tell me in your words

Hi,
Partner function is 'one vendor performs different functions with different divisions'.
Example: Take SAIL-Steel authority of India.If you want to purchase material from SAIL you will be ordering that to the marketing department of SAIL.Material is supplied to you by the sales depot of SAIL.And the invoice is raised by the finance department.Here the main vendor is SAIL and the different divisions are the partners for the vendor SAIL.
In SAP these are termed as partner functions.OA-ordering address,GS-goods supplier,IV-invoicing party etc.
If this process is applicable then you have to use the partner functions in the purchase order.

Multiple Partner Functions for a Sales document Item

Hi,
Can you please advise on modeling scenario for showing multiple partner functions for a given sales document in BI Report ..
Because Key figure values should not be distributed for multiple records just becos of multiple partner functions but users want to see them in the reports along with sales doc and key figure
I am explaining bit more clearly...
I can achieve above requirement by having below model ..
SDOC ITEM PF1 PF2 PF3 AMOUNT
1000 10 AB CD EF 50000
PF : Partner Function
but as I feel it is a complicated task to add more and more columns fro partner functions as and when new partner functions have been added or requested to show by users at sales doc level...
So Can you please advise a better solution to meet the same requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
BRK
Please advise me on this scenario
Thanks & Regards,

SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
This will be the normal display in the cube if there is only one Partner Function.
But what we need is
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_________________' '
80000_________10_____________A3_________________' '
The Amount (KF) should be populated only for the first record for a SalesDoc / Item combo.
You load data from source to the ODS, say delta.
Suppose that the below record is already available in the ODS.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
And you get the following data as DELTA in the Data_Package from the source.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
If you populate the Amount again for these 2 records, then the total would sum to $3000, which is wrong.
So what we do is,
Write a Select stmt for ALL ENTRIES in Data_Package and fetch the records from the target ODS. Have it in an Internal table, say t_ODS1
Take the SalesDoc / Item from the Data_Package and chk if it is present in the internal table t_ODS1.
If it is present, then populate the Amount as ' ' (Blank)
Else populate the Amount as $1000.
Say, you are getting 3 new records, which is not present in the ODS1.
In that case, your internal table t_ODS1 will be blank.
Now again, we need to populate the Amount only for the first record among the 3 records.
So, here comes the "Flag".
Set the Flag as X, when we populate the Amount.
Everytime chk the Flag <> X.
Only if it is <> X, populate the Amount.
Else Leave it Balnk.
Hope I have explained in detail

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 Function can occur once

I have maintain a partner function for the sales document header, but there might be two persons who can appear in the partner function.
But when i choose again the same partner function and enter the value system give me the following message "partner can only be occur once" can any one tell me the way so that multiple numbers with the same partner function can incorporated a the header level.
Regards,

Hello,
There is a configuration we maintain for this. You can uncheck the box Unique in VOPA for the partner function.
As you know there are some unique partner functions like Sold-to-party, the sold-to-party can be only one.
It all depends upon your business need to maintian multiple partner with same partner function.
Search this forum, you will get many threads related to this.

Not modifiable checkbox in partner function procedure

Hi,
In partner function procedure of sales document header not modifiable check box of SP partner function is grayed (not editable).
Can any one guide me how to change this field from not editable to editable.
Regards,
VKM

Hi,
For Sales document header partner functions,the sold-to-party is non-modifiable.
It is a standard functionality.We cannot change the address of the sold-to-party in sales order.If you want a different address,then you have to change in the customer master data only using the T.Code "XD02".
Even the field "Mand. function" is also greyed out.
Could you pls check for other Partner functions,they can be editable.
The path for this to check is:
SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Partner Determination>Set Up Partner Determination-->Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header.
Select the partner determination procedure.
Double click on "Partner functions in procedure".

Krishna.

Special Authorizations for Partner Functions

Hi All,
I have the following requirement:
In our CRM implementation, we are using sales team members (i.e. users having a partner function in sales documents) largely for information purposes only, i.e. from an authorization perspective it is only checked whether or not a user has a partner function but not which one specifically.
Now, there is one exception to this rule and that is the partner function "Employee Responsible". The requirement is that only a user having this very partner function in a sales document should be able to change the Employee Responsible for the sales document while all other users having just any other partner function for the same document should be authorized to change all other partner functions.
It's a bit hard to explain, here is an example:
Say you have a quotation document with the following "parties invloved":
John                -> Employee Responsible
Mike                -> Sales Manager
David               -> Some other Partner Function
All three (John, MIke and David) should be able to add new/change "parties involved".
BUT ONLY John should be able to change the "Employee Responsible"
Someone has any idea on this? I will reward points for helpful answers
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hello Alexander,
I guess CRM profile customization doesn't go to that deep level. Currently i don't see any other possibility (maybe, the audience can correct me) than modifying corresponding GET_I* methods of the attributes which you would like to disable and check for the user role there and disable the field accordingly. For this you need to know the component, view name, context node name, fields names and change it via EEWB.

What is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),
Actually we create partner functions before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.
These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.
Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.
Thanks&Regards
sreenivas peruru

There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.
Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.
So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...
Hope this helps...

Relation between partner function & document type

Hi,
Is there any customization setting for vendor partner role & FI document type?
When I use the partner role PI(invoice presented by), MIRO document created against the vendor defined against the partner role 'PI'. However when I defined a new partner role 'XA' - copying from the partner role PI- MIRO document not created vendor against partner role 'XA'.
Your input should be highly appreciable.

Hi John,
The partner types allow us to distinguish between different business partners such as customer, vendor, employee etc and the partner functions represent the functionality or role each partner plays within the business transaction.
For example under the partner type Customer, you will find - Sold to party, Ship to party, Bill to party, Payer.
The business partners that exist in the market place are represented with a partner type in the R/3 system. Examples of business partners are customer, vendor, employee and contact person.
The following partner types are defined in the partner processing for the sales & distribution module
a.     AP contact person (06)
b.     KU customer (07)
c.     LI vendor (08)
d.     PE employee/personnel (09)
Assigning the partner functions in the SAP system determines the functions of particular partner in the sales process. One partner may take on several functions also.

Partner functions in Delivery document from STO

Hi all,
I have a scenario where Business wants the Customs Broker information be appeared in Delivery document whenever a STO is created across USA and Canada.
I am able to configure it by maintaining Custom Broker partner function (CB) at Ship to party level and making this partner function mandatory at Delivery partner procedure determination. If i don't make Custom Broker partner function mandatory at Delivery Partner determination procedure, this Partner function is not derived in Delivery Document. -
But I can't this mandatory at Delivery level because we have STO withing USA too and we don't want Custom Broker to be derived for that.
STO (UB) --> Outbound Delivery Document ---> Ouput thru EDI (need to send CB information in Idoc so we need this at Delivery level to be appeared.)
Any solution on this will be appreciated?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Cathy,
I think there is no need any error message for partner determination. Because system already get it (sb partner) from the partner determination configuration as I mentioned before if you want to get it into your delivery and to remind user to add it.
Additionally, I can not understand that you want a message to remind for adding partner SB by the system and also you do not want it mandatory. what is the difference? please clarify your requirement more.
Additionally, how do we get warning message for specific partner function by configuring incompletion procedure.
Please update us if you find a way to achieve that. I am also trying it.
Thanks..

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.
