Partner Role not coming when creating the Vendor Master

Question

Hi all
There is a standrd role AZ.
There is a standrd Partner Determination procedure  L1.
The role AZ is assigned to the Partner Determination procedure  L1.
When creating the vendor master in MK01 the role is not coming in the list of partner function.
For Document types there is a standard shema 0002.
The role AZ has also been assigned to doc type.
What can be the reason.
Is the assignment against doc type at all required.
Please suggest.

Answer 1

The procedure for setting partner functions:
Step 1
Vendor Account Group
IMG->LOGISTICS GENERAL->BUSINESS PARTNER->VENDOR->CONTROL ->DEFINE
ACCOUNT GROUPS AND FIELD SELECTION
Step 2
Defining Partner  Schemas
IMG->MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER -> DETERMINATION -
>PARNER SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD
->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMAS
Step 3
Assign Partner Schema
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION->PARTNER 
SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMA
„«  THEN ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMA
Step 4
Define  Permissible Partner Role Per Account Group
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION -
>PARTNER ROLES ->DEFINE PERMISSION PARTNER ROLES
If you want a partner schema for your own document type then define your partner schema and assign to document type using the below mentioned path.
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER ->DETERMINATION -
>PARTNER SETTINGS IN PURCHASING DOCUMENTS ->DEFINE PERMISSION 
PARTNER SCHEMAS
And then
ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMAS TO DOCUMENT TYPE
Once you have this configuration then you change your vendor in easy access menu (XK02-select partner function) define the partner roles.
