PO and partner functions of a contract

Hello,
We have the following problem:
In our system, we maintain partner functions in the partner functions of the vendor.
And for this vendor we have a contract. However, we don't maintain partner functions in the contract.
But when we create a PO for the vendor and the contract, the system looks for partner function in the contract and doesn't look any more for the partner functions in the vendor. but, as we have no partner functions in the contract....partner functions in PO are empty.
I can't find customizing point to indicate that we don't want to look partners functions in contract. Is it possible?
Thanks,

the data is always taken from the most specific source, which is the contract in your case. it is not possible to use contracts and omit at the same time the partners (or not available partners) from the contract.

Partner function for sales contract

Hi
I have to extract Sales related data from SAP R/3 to BW.
Facing issue if someone just changes partner function for Sales contract as they are not captured in any of the standard extractors.
If there is change in partner function for Sales order then it gets captured in 11 vascl but if its for contract then it doesnt get capture.
Any solution ?

monika

Hi ! Ivy
I guess there is a option.
Try this out. Use the menu path IMG> Sales & Distribution> Sales> Lists> Set updating of partner index
In the resulting screen, click on 'New Entries' make entries 0 - for sales orders and 4 - for contracts as transaction group. Under the column 'partner function' ener the partner function for which you want the report and save your entries.
Now when you go for executing your report, click on the push button 'Partner functions' ( Say in VA05) , you will have the option for selecting the new partner functions , select and execute your report.
Provide your feedback.

Message determination and Partner function LS (Logical system) for PO

Hi,
I have worked in the past with vendors (VN) as partner roles in a PO, with the message to create an EDI outpout to Partner Type: LI (Vendor), and this works succesfully.
Now, the idea was to use in EDI, a Partner Type: LS (Logical system) as a receiver of EDI messages (message types: ORDERS) for inbound Purchase Orders to the Partner.
So, we have set up a respective message condition, with Partner Function: LS (Logical System), in transaction: MN04 (Create Output-condition records).
A. When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent to partner.
B. When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N?
There is a single message condition that is to be read for both cases (trans: ME59N and ME21N).
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner (=Logical System), manually, I receive a warning message :
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent.
However you can not assign a partner function LS to a vendor, in vendor master data, because of message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Anyone with similar experience? Thank you for your advice.

Hi,
I well understand that the receiving partner can be a partner: Vendor (LI).
I have seen that working.
However, in the Partner Profiles (trans: WE20), the receiver was created as a Logical System (LS).
We want the partner Logical system (LS) to receive the idoc for purchase order (ORDERS).
After that, I think that the idea is that the LS can generate an idoc for a sales order creation that will then outbound to another partner. I think that this is the concept.
The issue is that I have seen that the POs created with transaction: ME59N, have received from message determination (trans: MN04) the message with partner LS (automatically), and the idoc of the purchase order (ORDERS) have reached the partner LS.
The question is why the message determination fails when creating the PO from trans: ME21N or ME21, with reference to the PR. Message condition is the same and message determination procedure is the same for both cases.
There is no issue with customizing for the LS in trans: WE20
(Port processing agent is Active for LS and ORDERS have the proper processing code for application EF).
I hope I am helping more with this.

Sales District and Partner function relationship in customer master

Hello there
I am working on a report and need to know one table relation for sales District and Partner function
i have a requirement , where i want to list all the partner number/Partner function assign to the customer with ref to the sales District
we have one partner function Tab at sales Area tab in customer master , and another when we click on Sales district tab at header will get another window where we maintain partner function relate to the sales District , i want to have all those partner function in report , can you please help me where i can find that in table ? when i do F1 its says KNVP but that table maintain at the sales area leval , not for the Sales District !! if you can help
thanks
Sonam

Hi Sonam -
and another when we click on Sales district tab at header will get another window where we maintain partner function relate to the sales District
Do you have custom table/maintenance for sales district? Are you not maintaining Sales District in Sales Tab of customer master.
You have to look for the field and table where you have maintained sales distict along with Customer and join the customer with KNVP customers and get all the partners.
For Example - if you have mainationed sales district in KNVV table of BZIRK field then you have to join KNVV -KUNNR with KNVP-KUNNR and extract all records of customer distict and associated partner functions.
Let me know,if the given solution is not applicable for your case.
Thanks

Account Group and partner functions in customer master records

Hi Gurus,
I need your help to confirm the following understand if correct:
1. To create customer master record for partner function Ship-To, need to create a customer master record using the uniquely assigned account group for Ship-To , that is, 0002 . In this ship-to master record, define in its partner function tab, the other partner functions related to it.
2. To create the above, it cannot be achieved by just assigning the partner functions in the partner function tab of SOLD-To customer master record , created using account group 0001.
Question:
1. How does the system know or allow what codes a user can select (f4) or enter manually when defining in customer master record's partner function tab, the partner functions and their respective codes?
How is this controlled? Is it by user authorization? or will user / sales administrator be able to select any codes tied to a partner function?
2. Lets say there are 2 partner functions : Sales employee VE and 9E called Sales Representative. Both of these partner functions are of Partner Type PE.
When defining in customer master record's partner function tab, how does the system know what codes is selectable for the administrator for each of these partner functions?
best regards
M Russo

hi russo,
this is to inform you that,
1. yes you are right.
2. you need to follow the steps as you said.
Question:
1. that you can find in the search basing on account group for partners. that assignment we should know russo which SH to be assigned to which SP. no need to have authorization for that, make a note of the list of SH and SP to be assigned that's all.
yes, he will able to select any SH from the list but make sure that we assign the correct SH to the list of SP.
2. that you will be defining it in Partner Determination Procedures. at the time of CMR creation you have to select the correct code that will get populated in sales order.
hope this clears your issue.

Parties involved work center and partner functions in SAP WEBUI

Dear Experts,
Here is the situation
I have sales rep, quote admin1, quote admin2 and quote admin3 positions in my org model. Each level has approval process. All of these three types of users will create quotes directly without a previous document/follow-up document.
When a sales rep or anybody other than quote admin logon to create quote, parties involved <> quote admin should be admin1. When admin 1 logon, it should default to admin1. Admin 2 logs in only after admin1 so, it should display admin1 and admin2. When admin 3 logson, it should show admin1, 2 and three. They need to be able to see howmany quote admins already there in the quote. How can I get this?? Please help me..

Hi Sri,
You can use Partner Determination Procedure for the first time to create a Quotation automatically which will be triggered by the system. For the next time, based on your requirement you can probably need to use something else which will trigger the partner determination and will select the partner function and the business partner. You can check the badi - COM_PARTNER_BADI which is used for the Partner Procedure Determination.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

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.

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

Whats the relationship between oppurtunies and Partner function in table?

Hi,
I have to generate a dynamic Query for Search to filter based on Partner function.
I got crmd_partner_fct table which has the codes assigned to the Partners But how do i relate it to
crmd_orderadm_h so that I can filter based on the partner number i select?
George

How can i find out the oppurtunities searching by partner function of PFt_5 group .. (Not sure what to ask since We have this new partner functiions added to the dropdown and i dont see any difference in the table based on the Partner Function selected in the screen.Each function has a different number assigned but I dont see that in the table)

Account Group and Partner Function

Hello All,
Can any one tell me how can i assign particular Account group to all partner functions.
Thanks
Sundu

Hi Sundar,
Its very simple.
Go to IMG - SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION - SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION FOR CUSTOMER MASTER
Now select Account Groups - Function Assignment in the left hand side column.
Now based on the account group that you use while creating customers through either XD01 or BP transaction, assign the relevant partner functions against your account group.
This should help you solve your query.
Reward points if helpful.

ERS Vendor and Partner Function

Hi All,
The issue I have is:
The main vendor is Non ERS & the PI (invoice presented by) partner is ERS. There is an invoice plan present on the PO.
The problem is that the partner vendor who is due to be invoiced is ERS, but they are unable to receive invoices this way because the main vendor in non ERS..
The usual method is for the Accounts payable to process invoices manually via MIRO upon receiving the invoice from the vendor, but because the vendor is ERS, there is no invoice received so the AC Clarke will not process the invoice.
Is there any other way we can process the invoice to the PI vendor by ERS when the main vendor is non ERS
Hope this makes sense!!..

Hi Anil,
Can you provide more details as to when the invoices should be paid through ERS? Is it by location (e.g. plant) or is it up to the end user creating the PO when invoices should be paid via ERS?

Create, Update and Delete Partner functions for a Functional location.

Hello
I have a requirement where I need to
a. Create / Assign Partner functions to a Functional location,
b. Update the new Partners values ( PARNR ) for particular Partner Functions ( Replace new Partner values in place of old partner values )
c. Delete the Partner values and Partner functions for a Functional location.
when the above changes are done, the changes should be reflected in IFLO ( Table-IFLOT ) and IHPA ( Table-IHPA ) transactions .
I wanted to make the above changes by using FM's or BAPI. I have searched many forums and threads, but still I was not able to get the correct solution.
Can anyone help me out in finding BAPI or FM's to do the above changes. ?
Note : I will have an excel sheet which has coloumns like Functional location, Partner function, Old Partner value ( PARNR ) and New Partner value (PARNR ). This data needs to be updated in IFLO and IHPA.
Thanks and Regards,

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.
