Partner functions of vendors not appearing in PO (EC scenario)

Hi
We are using SRM4.0 extended classic scenario, The vendor master in R/3 has been maintined with all the required partners like VN, PI, OP,GS. But when we create a PO in SRM and after its replication to R/3 in ME23n header data the PO doesnt not show other partner details. Its showing only the vendor 'VN'. But i could observe for some POs its dispalying both VN and PI.
Request somebody can clarify under what situations this can happen and what needs to be done so as to get the partner details in PO.
Thanks & Regards
Kiran

Hi. We have had an couple of issues that could be similar.
Look at notes 879361 & 904881, they fixed 1 of the problems on our SRM 4 issue.
If those do not help, another thing it could be is down to your country.
Are you implementing in India? I think SRM calls a different BAPI for India than most countries. Something to do with tax juristiction or something. If you ask SAP via a customer message they might be able to help you.

Partner Function for Vendor through IDOC

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need to create the vendor master through IDOC. I am using CREMAS basic type for that. In its functionality, I need to assign different partner functons to it. I identified the segment as E1WYT3M in it at hierarchy level 3. I passed the partner function like OA or PI in the PARVW field of it and provided the vendor number which I want to assign as partner function in the LIFN2 field.
Vendor is getting created but Partnering details are not getting updated when I am seeing in the XK03 Txn. Am I missing something.
Please help me on this.
Thanks
Natasha

Hi All,
Moving further, I got another issue in changing the partner details of a vendor. Changing includes assigning another partner function to an existing vendor or deleting any already assigned partner function. I am doing this through IDOC. I am getting an error message 'Deletion of mandatory partner function 'VN' is not possible.'
I tried changing the msgfn also.
How should I proceed here.
Thanks

Partner Function in Vendor master

Hi,
I want to know what is partner functions in Vendor master , what configuration settings required for it and is it necessary to maintain what can be the problem or why it use .
regards,
zafar

Hi Zafar,
Basically Vendor partner functions allowed you to define the rights and responsibilities of business partner in a business transaction. The R/3 standard partner functions are :
AZ     Alternative payee
OA     Ordering address
VN     Vendor
CR     Carrier
PI     Invoice presented by
CA     Contract address
GS     Goods supplier
DP     Delivering site
Accordingly the vendor is first the ordering address, then the supplier of good and after that Invoicing party and finally the Payee. You can determine which of the partner roles are optional and which are mandatory in the customization. If no roles have been maintained, the data of the vendor role applies
Now the Vendor partner function will work after few Setting in Customization :
1) Maintain seprate vendor master record for each partner
2) Activate partner function by ASsign Partner Schema to Account Groups
SPRO ; Material Management > Purchasing > partner Determination > partner Settings in Vendor Master REcord > here choose and account Group to active partner Function and from Field PS EKORG Select L1
3)Define Permissible Partner Roles Per Account Group
In this step, you can specify for each account group of the vendor which roles the vendor may assume.
I.e. you can specify that certain vendors may only serve as an ordering address, not as an invoicing party.
Maintain Partner roles, which is to be used in Account Group
GS - DIMP
PI-DIMP
OA-DIMP
4) Maintain partner function - Now in the Vendor master record you can maintain Vendor partner function .
or can assign partner at the Time of PO Creation ME21n, When GR will be done you can See partner Details.

Vraj

and not able to create message from Quality server.

Thanks in advance

Venu

Hi Venu,
This can be related to a configuration on table ( DNOC_USERCFGT ). You can use SM30 or go through IMG (
SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario specific settings -> service desk -> Partner Determination Procedure -> Use of own partner functions )
The parameter NO_USER_CHECK has to be set to 1 which means : No Existence Check for User.
Other point you need to check is wheater the user you are logged on in the QAS has the external identification correctly maintained in the respective BP on the Solution Manager side.

Hi,
There is no problem in creating credit memo in ECC even with these error message. the credit memo document is created in ECC. Actually thiis is not happening for all the complaint documents in CRM. It happens only for few customers/complaints.
My doubt is with contact person mismatch in crm and ecc, but that is also perfect. pls let me know solution for this issue.

Partner function AP is not defined in partner procedure N ()

Hi,
Error: Partner function AP is not defined in partner procedure N ().
I am getting above error in CRM service orders for Contact person replication from CRM  ECC.
In debugging Middleware queue and we found that it is getting triggered from FM SD_PARTNER_EXECUTE_CHECKS. In some cases contact person is getting replicated to ECC successfully but in some it's not ! And in both the cases this error is getting passed to CRM service order.
Can anyone please help me on this exactly whatu2019s wrong with partner procedure and partner function customizing? Or do I need to add some code logic to stop this.
Kindly help ASAP.
Because every day we are getting thousands of CRM service orders which are affected by this Error.
Regards,
Amol.

Hi Dipesh,
Thank you very much.
I have verified both the things.Means partner procedure is same in both the system. Also contact person is replicated to ECC with same order.
As i mentioned this is happening with some service orders. Also there are some service orders where contact person is successfully replicated to ECC but there is error on CRM side:Partner function AP is not defined in partner procedure N () .
Kindly let me know what are the further checks i need to do.

Partner of partner function SLFN0003 could not be changed

Hello,
I want to resolve the Support Team by Category instead of SAP Component.
The Support Team is determined by the Rule AC13200137 and uses the
Category instead of SAP Component to determine the correct Support
Team (SLFN0003).
I've tested the rule and agents are resolved correctly
according to Category.
When the a service record is created the initial resolution for the
Support team is successful based upon Category.
However, when the Category is changed after the Support Team has been determined, the Support Team cannot be updated when the document is SAVED. In the Transaction Data -> Action ->
Process logs displays the following error:
Date: 13.02.2008 Time: 16:44:59
Processing CRM_DNO_PARTNER_1 Is Started
Partner of partner function SLFN0003 could not be changed here
Action could not be successfully executed
Analysis:
When the Support Team field on the CRM_HEADER is NOT empty the resolution by Category cannot update the Support Team field.
The workaround when a Category has been changed is to clear the Support Team field then SAVE then the Support Team is resolved correctly to reflect Category changes.
Is there a method to FORCED the overwrite the Support Team field when the
Category is changed?
Please advise.
Regards,
Latief

Hi Raquel,
Thank you very much for your quick response. Unfortunately, I had to wait for an ABAP'er to make the necessary changes. Your feedback was helpful and points have been allocated accordingly.
Below is an extract of the code applied to the functional module "CRM_DNO_UPDATE_PARTNER" to allow overwriting the Support Team field when already determined and the CATEGORY field has been changed.

Partner function BP does not exist in partner procedure

Hi experts,
I have met the error message "partner function BP does not exist in partner procedure". I think there must be something wrong with my partner determinatino procedure. Is there any clue how I should check it?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Fan Mau,
Go to "VOPA/VOPAN" and check the partner procedure associated with the account group of you customer(You can get the account group of customer "EXTRAS-ADMINISTRATIVE DATA). If its coming in the sales order header /item ,go to the same transaction "VOPA" AND CHECK THE PROCEDURE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SALES ORDER HEADER/ITEM.

Vendor Number not coming in partner functions in vendor master

Hi,
I am facing a peculiar issue with the vendor master.
I am creating a vendor having a account group z001 to which the number range is assigned as internal (only) and in the Partner Schema the vendor VN is defined as mandatory and checked for higher level.
When entering the data on reaching the partner function tab the first line item where we enter ahve the vendor details of VN it is coming blank in the non-editable mode where we have the vendor number cell. I noticed as I number range is internal till the vendor is saved the number is not assigned so in the partner tab in the first line item the number is blank.
On saving and going back to vendor in change mode I am finding the partner VN line item in non-editable mode and the vendor number is blank and I am not able to enter the number also.
How to overcome this issue.
Please guide me..
Thanks,
Vengal Rao.

Hi Diwakar,
Thanks for the response. As it is mandatory it is coming , but as it is defined as internal number, the number is assigned to vendor after saving only.
So if I got back to same vendor and see what is the partner no appearing in the first row, I see the number as blank, when I try to add the same number in change mode it is not allowing as the realted line ie first line is in non-editable mode. Here VN , and description VENDOR is coming but number not coming, and I am not able to add the number also.
This is my issue.
Thanks,
Vengal Rao.

Classic Scenario PO has multiple OA Partner Functions for Vendor

Hi,
I have a 'design' issue. My R/3 Vendor has many OA Partner Functions for the different Branches they have and the PO needs to be Faxed to the OA Partner Function number, but the PO needs to be created against the VN Partner Function.
So, how do i do this in SRM? I was going to have a seperate Catalog link for each OA Partner function, but this is not creating the R/3 PO with VN Partner Function of the 'core' Vendor number.
Does anyone have any advice for this?
