Plant as a Vendor in Partner Determination

Hi
In the Partner tabs, I need to determine the Plant as a vendor.
Do I need to create a relationship of the Plant with BP. If yes, what should be the relationship category? I am using "has undefined relationship".
To determine the Plant in Partners tab as one of the Partner, In access sequence, I have used the source as "Business Partner relationships" with the details on the source as Partner function - Sold to party.
In the partner determination procedure, I have assigned this Access seq, with function as Vendor.
While executing the transaction, I am not getting the Vendor determined automatically.
Any inputs would be helpful.
thanks
Yash

Yash,
In order to determine the plant as the vendor you need the following elements established:
1. Plants setup as business partners in CRM
2. Plant relationship to business partners in CRM. You will need to create a new relationship category in order to set this part up. Use transaction BUBA to setup the new category. The role of the corresponding partner should be "vendor". Now assign the plants to your business partner using the new relationship category.
3. Configure your partner determination procedure to pickup the vendor from the relationship category you defined before.
I have done something similar with a completely "custom" partner function so, this should probably work for something more standard like a vendor.
Good luck,
Stephen

Vendor partner determinations

will vendor partner determinations work if we bring purchase orders through interface from legacy system which does not maintain partner relationships, do we need to map even partner functions or sap can determine them automaticaly from our customizing.

Hi Monica,
System will not define automatically the partner determination.if suppose you are uploading through some legacy also that vendor having partner determination system automatically identifies and attached automatically.but when uploading time is not updated onece data stored and again retriving on that time system chcks the related data
Hope this will helps you

Partner determination at plant level

at present we are having partner determination at p.org level and plant level.
In our business we have a one vendor with 2 ordering addresses for 2 of our plants.
we had maintained these ordering address at vendor master --plant level.
when we are creating manual PO system is picking up the order address where as when we are creating automatic PO using ME59N transaction system is picking partner function maintained at p.org level rather than maintained at plant level.
plz suggest the solution.

Hi,
Check the intial requriment are there r not like source list before craeting the PO.
Check whether the Partner function are maintained at plant level in XK03 in partner fuctions selection field and also check whether you had ticked the data revel at plant level allowed.
Hope this will hep you.

Vendor Partner determination

Dear All
I have created as I V invocing Party and assigned to L I, and all the necessary configurations with other partner roles also
the same was automatically copied to MIRO.
my Query here is how System exactly identifying I V vendor to MIRO even though my PO having so many other partner functions.
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
I think the key here is the Partner Schemas & also Assigning of Partner Schemas to Document Types
If you assign IV instead of Standard PI here in Partner Schemas, and then subsequently assigning this particular Partner schema to PO document type, then IV will be used instead of PI. This is because whatever in the PO will be brought over to GR and then IV in MIRO..
The above 2 configurations can be found from the paths below.
SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing --> Partner Determination --> Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents --> Define Partner Schemas
SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing --> Partner Determination --> Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents --> Assign Partner Schemas to Document Types
Hope this helps.

Partner Determination in PO and OBDLV

Hey @ all,
what I am trying to do right now is to implement a simple, customer specific partner determination procedure. For that I want to add a partner role and partner to an purchase order on header level.
The only place I found where I could add this partner is in BAPI_PO_CREATE1. But this BAPI is not used when I create a PO with the GUI (ME21N).
So do you have an idea, where I could add a an additional partner to the PO (User-Exit, Badi, Enhancement Spot ...)?
The same thing I want to do with the outbound delivery (VL01N). There is User-Exit MV50AFZ1 available. But there is the question: How do I add a partner within this user exit (structures to edit...).
Thanks for you help in advance,
Rolf

Hi,
   If its specific to plant and vendor, then check whether the plant specific partner function has been activated.
   Go to MK02 - partner function and go to menu - extras - Add. purchasing data and check whether "Data retent. at plant level allowed" flag is marked as shown below.
   If so, go to menu - extras - Alternative data.
Click on partner details:
Here, system will show plant specific partners.
   Here, maintain the partner function PI for the plant and check the scenario again.
Another option would be to maintain the higher level search flag in the partner function configuration as highlighted below:
   Now, system will search partners at purchase organization level, if no partner function is found at plant level.

Partner determination in control record for EDI

Hi all,
    I have a custom EDI output which goes into the delivery. However this EDI output is not picking the correct partner.
The sales order with 2 plants would create 2 deliveries.   First delivery is created for plant A121 while second delivery is created for plant A710.   However, the vendor partner is not picked up correctly for plant A121 in the first delivery. LIkewise the second delivery. When the sales order has same plants, it create 1 delivery. This comes out with correct partner.
My question is: How is the partner determined in EDI control record before the delivery is created ?
In Partner Profile, WE20, there are 3 defined partners (100 LI, 200 LI, 300 LI). For plant A121, the partner would be vendor 200.
Thanks
Joyce

Hi Vinod,
   Thanks for your suggestion. I have condiiton record for this EDI which is plant and it would list the partner. Somehow, it seems the plant is not picked up correctly when there are a few plants in the sales order.   Becasue the partner is not picked up correctly, it seems to affect other output types that are plant-based.
    Initially the all output for EDI works fine. There have been recent changes made to split delivery by plant which is fine Output is one that are having issues.
   Have you any other suggestions ? I will continue to look at the program you suggested.
thank you.\
Joyce

Enhancement for partner determination in STO

Hello, SAP gurus!
We are working on enhancement to copy CR partner role (forwarding agent) from supplying plant's vendor master to STO partner tab. We have found a way, how to select the data and fill it in structure MMPA, which will update STO partner data during STO save. The problem we are facing now is the missing partner data in parnters tab on ME21N screen, when the data is copied. Data is filled in MMPA structure, but something is still missing so it is not displayed on screen, thus it cannot be changed or seen.
Has anyone figured out working solution for this, as SAP does not support partner determination for STO's sccording to note 117537?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You need debug the T-code ME21N and see from which run time structure does ME21N displays data on the screen.
And you will also write an enhancement for ME21N.
Hope this is of help to you!

How will i configure partner determination for customer master

how will i configure partner determination for customer master data.

hi
Check this
BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PARTNER DETERMINATION
In the partner determination procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (Customer Master, Sales Document, Item Category etc.) For each object, in which partner function can be created, you can define partner procedures. This also means that
For Customer Master
For Sales Documents
For Sales Documents and Billing Documents: for items
We can define our partner determination procedure for each of these levels as shown below. In Blue are given the ones wherein the Partner Procedures are assigned to the Partner Objects
Customer Master Account Group
Sales Document Header Sales Document Type
Sales document Item Item Category in sales
Delivery Delivery Type
Billing Header Billing Type
Billing Item Billing Type
Sales Activity Sales Activity type
By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure would be valid.
In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function
whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
whether the partner function can be changed in the document
BUSINESS PARTNER FUNCTION
By assigning a business partner function to a partner you can determine which functions the partner fulfils in the business process. Partner Functions are classified using partner type. The partner type represents the roles played by the business partner within the business transaction.
Following partner functions exist in the standard process of Sales and Distribution
Partner Type Customer
Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party, Payer and Sold-to Party authorized to release against a contract. You can define the sold-to party authorized to release against a contract in the partner screen of a contract. This partner may only schedule orders with reference to this contract, even when he is not the sold-to party authorized against a contract.
Partner Type Contact Person
Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (e.g. purchasers) Contact person can be created directly in customer master record.
Partner Type Vendor
A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
The other possible partner functions on the credit side in the sale process are interpreters, auditors etc. The forwarding agent is an agent who performs transportation services. This includes organizing the shipment, delivery and receipt of the goods, arranging the carrier services and handling the customs issues.
Partner Type Personnel
Employee Responsible
Sales Personnel
You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
In the Customer Master If the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer.
In the Sales Document If the employee is responsible for processing the Business Transaction.
STEP WISE PROCESS FOR PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->set Up Partner Determination->Set up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
First go to OVT0 create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.
Now go to IMG logistics general business partner customers control define & assign customer number ranges define the number. Here you range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.
Now go to VOPA here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. The following steps need to be done in partner determination area
Assign partner function to account group i.e SP,SH, BP, PY to account group (debit side ). Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->Assign Partner Functions on the debit side to account Groups.
Then create Partner Determination Procedure.
Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Function.
Then finally assign the Partner Determination Procedure to acc group.
Important Points in Business Partners and Partner Determination Procedure
Partner relationship maintained/defined in the customer master is proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document.
In customizing we can decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master.
In sales documents, the system is configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function.
We can define partners at item level in the sales documents.
Business Partners that are defined at the header level however cannot be changed at the item level.
You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered in a sales document.
It is also possible to manually change or enter the address of a partner, such as the Ship-to Party. This change does not affect the master record.

PARTNER DETERMINATION FROM PRODUCT

Hi Experts,
In service transaction i want to determine one partner(Vendor) from product master.
In product master, in the Relationships, under Vendor tab i have mantained the details of the vendor. In the transaction when the product id is entered, this vendor has to be determine. Is it possible. If any ideas, please tell me.
Thanks in advance.
Nadh

Hi Nadh,
Vendor determination from the product master can surely be achieved.
For your partner function Vendor put an access sequence, which picks the vendor from the product master.
1. First create an access sequence say ZVEN , here make a new entry, in the drop down choose an entry which says vendor from product master (I am not sure with the name).
2. Put this access sequence in partner function vendor of ur partner determination procedure and assign that to the transaction type.
Wish this helps.

Partner Determination Not Working in Opportunity

Hi,
We are using Z-partner Functions Which are Determined using Partner Determination Procedure in Lead but it is not Copied to opprtunity.
we used Different partner procedure for opportunity but is not coping from Lead. We tried to Modify the partner Procedure used for Lead and use it for Opportunity but it is not working.
can any one suggest were we might be going wrong.
With regards,
Selvam t

Hello Selvam,
there is no copy procedure during partner determination. If you create a followup doc or copy an existing document - the partner det. runs again. According to your settings in the PDP the partner are determined by access sequence and source. That means if you want partners which should be copied from predecessor then you should use the source COM_PARTNER_A like i.e. access sequence 0001 in standard.
I hope this help,

Territory and partner determination procedure for employee responsible

Hi CRM team,
I have a little issue for you I'll be very thankfull if someone could help me.
There is the organisation of the territory management in the company I'm working for:
-Country
-Region
-sector
*each sector have a determination rule based on 1 condition "1 field from the BP Header (customer)"
*each sector have a position assigned to it. (Organisational model PPOMA_CRM) And there is 1 or 2 employee affected to each position..
*When creating an activity,*
*First thing I enter the Account (customer: activity partner)*
*I would like the system to determine the employee affected to the sector of the BP as the employee responsible.*
Any Idea?
For the moment, I'm searching in the partner determination procedure. But the standard access sequence Business Partner Relationships: Activity Partner -> User dont work.
There is some sitting from my IMG:
The partner fonction Employee Responsible is with
*fonction category: employee
*usage: CRM
*Relationship category: Is the employee responsible for
Partner determination procedure:
In the acces sequence, I put a dialogue seq 15 :
Business partner from territory
And in the detail on source, I put:
Fonct. categ. : Employee
Usage: CRM
It dosn't work...
I don't know if I'm am searching in the right place.
Could you help me with a solution to have the needed system behavior????
Thanks a lot for your time and your help.
Best regards,
Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
After created determination rules for territories have executed the report CRM_TERRMAN_PROC_REL for initial option?
Once territories and determination rules are created, you need to run the above report in Background(schedule a batch job) which will establish relationships between the territories and corresponding attributes. You need to run this report every time there is a change in determination rule of create/change territories.
This should resolve your problem

Priyanka
