Pass BP number through partner function in Lead

HI,
We are creating lead from BP screen. when we click the new button in the Lead Assignment block a list of lead types appear whrn i select one type the lead opens with the BP as sales prospect in the lead.
We have a requirement to validated the lead. We have a source field in the bp. If the Soucrce is 1 then the lead type 1 should be created and if the source is 2 then the lead type 2 should be created.
We tried to validate but we are just able to open a new lead type 1 screen for BP source 1 but the sales prospect is not picking automatically. can any one suggest any possible solution.
If any one worked in the lead validation based on a field in BP pls help us.
With Regards,

Partner Number for Partner function in Vendor master definition

Dear Gurus,
I need to define a new vendor through Tcode: Xk01 / Mk01, but while defining particular screen know an partner functions, in this its asking partner number in lookup where no data ia avalibale to select and subsequently not able to save the vendor.
Please help.
Regards,
Prashanth Pai

Hi,
Before vendor creation, you have following configuration steps:
1. Create Vendor Account Group.OBD3
2. Maintain Number Ranges from Vendor account Group:XKN1,
3.Assignment of Number ranges to Account Group,OBAS
4.Partner Function: SPRO->MM->Purcahsing->Partner Determination-> partner roles->Permissible partner role sper account group
5.Partner Schema:
SPRO->MM->Purcahsing->Partner Determination->Partner setting in Vendor master record-> Define partner Schema
6.Assgin partner schema to accont Group
SPRO->MM->Purcahsing->Partner Determination->Partner setting in Vendor master record-> Assgin partner schema to account Group.
& then after above steps, you can create vendor with XK01 t.code by entering company Code,Vendor account group and purchase organisation.
Note:what is partner role:Generally during in your business transaction process we are specifying the roles involved by vendor i.e..... vendor act as a Goods Suplier, Ordering Address, Invoice Processing. Here all these functional activities by vendor we termed as partner functions (GS,IP, OA) in partner determination Process. SAP has standard Partner role and its 2 characters.
Example: A company supplying goods/material having plant in Hyderabad, south India branch office is in bangalore and head office is in Delhi.So hyderabad plant is your"GS",banglaore office is your"OA" and Delhi office is "IP"where you pay to Vendor. for the procurred material/goods.

Customer number and partner functions

Hi
Is there any way to get the details if we give customer number as input and ship to party , bill to party and payer will get as out put whose are diffrent to the customer no.
is it possible through SE16 or any standard report for this requirement( there is one table KNVP but it gets all the sp,sh,bp,py details but how to get teh report if they different to customer no)
please suggest any body
regards

Venkat,
Correct me if my understanding is wrong?
You want to list the different partner function for the customer only when these are different than the input customer?
for example : If one customer SP= A, SH = B, PY= C, BP = D. Then this customer should come into list right?
if this is the case, you can easily achieve this by SE16N.
Go to SE16N,
enter KNVP table, Press enter
You can see 2 customer field : KUNNR and KUNN2,
in KUNNR customer enter your INPUT customer.
In KUNN2 : First click on Options ( second column , O), Select Not Equal to : and enter the same value of the customer and execute...
But this will only work for One by One customer....
The other option is Go with Z developemnet.
Thanks,
Raja

Multiple Partners with Same partner Functions in LEAD

HI Experts,
we have maintained in partner determination procedure -> partner functions in procdure -Channel Partner-> Maximum as 1 . it means that system willl allow only one channel partner to be determined or only one channel partner will be allowed in a txn.
However when we create a Lead, system is allowing to add multiple channel partners under Parties involved AB with error message which is fine, but it allows the user to SAVE it which we dont wont .
any thoughts.
thanks
Smita

Dear Raju,
You may have different Bill-to-Parties and Payers, in a single Sales Order, at Item level (for different Line-Items);
BUT
You may not have multiple Bill-to-Parties and Payers, for a single line-item, for a Particular Sales Order Line-Item.
Best Regards,
Amit,
Note: Haven't experienced, but might be achieved the requirement with Customization (not sure).

CRM 4.0 and Partner Functions?

As I understand it, they believe that there is a limitation on the number of partner functions that can be replicated
between CRM 4.0 and ERP?
And the limitation is a total of 999?
But what if more than 999 are needed?
I guess that these are created as follows:
Transaction SPRO
u2013 CRM
u2013 Basic Functions
u2013 Partner Processing
u2013 Data Transfer
u2013 Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into R/3
and the table involved is CRMC_PARTNER_2R3
Is there a workaround?
Is there a greater number of partner functions allowed in newer CRM releases?

The limitation is the standard system design in ERP, not CRM.
There is a limit of 999 entries due to a field length of 3 characters. Please see table KNVP - the field PARZA is the Partner Counter, and you can see in the table that it is defined as only 3 characters, hence the 999 limitation.
Here are 2 options to consider to demonstrate that there are possible options:
- A ship-to partner does not need to be assigned to a sold-to in order to be used on a sales order. As long as the ship-to has been
set up (using transaction XD01 and account group 0002) you can use any ship-to in an order.Break up the sold-to by regions or some other means so that you can accommodate all of the ship-to's.
- You could possibly make a work round by changing the domain PARZA to 4 digits , but this would be a work round and would require a full investigation on the feasibility of this change. Unfortunately this would have to be on a Consultancy basis, see SAP Note 83020. Also SAP Note 170183 would apply.

hi sap gurus,
i would like to partner function wise reports.For ex i am creating Vendor with three type of partner function .
VN       Vendor                 Partner schema: purchasing organization level
Z1       Organizer              Partner schema at vendor sub-range level
Z3         owner                  Partner schema: plant level.

Create a Query using tables
LFA1--> Main vendor

You might use LFM1 & WYT3 for this purpose as link is between purchase vendor and Partner function you will get there.

Passing Partner function and Partner number in Action container editor

Hi all,
We have a requirement to create a follow up transaction with different business units as partner functions depending on some logic. I tried defining one action using copy_document method and was able to pass the container values of partner function (CRMT_PARTNER_FCT) and partner number (CRMT_PARTNER_NO) along with transaction type (process_type). However, still the follow up transaction does not contain the relevant partner function and value.
Please let me know is there a way I can default differnt partner function and partner number while creating a transaction based on my actions.
Thanks and Regards,
Varun Gupta

Thanks maggie, I know couple of options using code like the one you mentioned in copy badi. There is another BADI only for partner function. I can activate it in the access sequence and can do my code over there. However, in actions (copy_document specifically) we can pass parameter like transaction type, activity category etc. SAP standard implementation automatically takes those parameter into consideration and create subsequent transaction with right transaction type and activity category. On similar basis I have also tried sending partner function and partner number without any success. So I thought of raising this and need all CRM experts advice on it.

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

Hi,
Im facing similar problem
Im trying to create the customer master through IDOC.
I am using DEBMAS06 Idoc.
I need to assign two partner functions to it.
When I create a customer with giving two partner details,

But I am getting error when "Customer INTERNAL already exists for function <Partner function>".
Am I missing something. Any msgfn or any other input.

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

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.
Edited by: Oren Wolk on May 2, 2010 11:17 AM

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.

Creation of new partner function through /AFS/BAPI_SALESORD_CHANGE

Hi all,
Can anybody help me to create partner functions through the bapi /AFS/BAPI_SALESORD_CHANGE ??
In the selection-screen we will pass the vbeln, PARVW and kunnr values ??
Any kind of little help is very much appreciated.

thats all you need to pass to change the partner type like bill to or ship to.
You dont create partner functions from this bapi. This is to change the sales order and the details in sales order. Creating partner function comes under SPRO.
Ask you sales functional people to create new partner function

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.
