Re: Partner functions in SAP MM

I am in the BBP stage.. Can anyone help me
Data conversion, Configuration Parameter
Thanks

Hi
1) if i want to create purchase order and put all condition like pb00, ra01 etc, i want to display mode few condition so that end user can not be use it...??? how is it possible??? what is the configuration????
Solution - In SPRO - MM - purchasing - conditions - pricing procedure - define condition types - display condition type which you dont want the user to process manually - in the detail screen, "changes which can be made" - Manual entries - Select "D" not possible to process manually.
2) why we always use same condition 2 time s like p002& P001) which are showing one yellow and second is green ??? what does it means ,can you explain briefly..??.
traffic lights is to show if there are some problem with the condition type. but not sure why gree and yellow for same condition type. is it showing after you enter the values
3) what is difference between header condition and item condition,, which condition can be put on header and item???/
Solution - Header condition is common to all the PO line items in a PO where as the item condition is specific to each line items. For ex. you create a PO with several line items and if the frieght charges is for overall delivery( all the line items of PO) you need to use header freight condition. But if you different frieght charge and even different freight vendor for each line item, you can use item freight condition.

Partner functions for SAP Customer Master

I am in the MDM solution definition phase for SAP Customer Master at one of our Cients place. The requirement is to set up a central master data scenario where creation & modification of any customer record will be done via MDM. The following components of Netweaver are in the landscape - SAP MDM, EP, XI.
I need clarification on the following points -
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
Hi Arvind,
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
Partner Function comes under Condition Technique in SAP ECC.here some config has to be done.
For mapping it in MDM, First create a Qualified Table - Partner Function.Determine the Non-Qualifiers and Qualifiers.Then as said by Suresh, u need Java API stuff to complete this task and frontend being EP.
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
It can be done using EP as front end and Java API to dertermine the partner based on the account group.
Thanks,
Felix

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.

LSMW problem with Partner functions in Customer Master

Hi All,
Requirement is to load the Customer Master Data using LSMW.
Loading General data is ok, But when I am planning to load the
partner function using the recording method in LSMW, How do I upload
more than '1' Ship to party partners and more than '1'
Bill to party partners using LSMW.
Normally in table control there is a "+" button at the end of the
table control which when pressed enters one line in table control,In
Partner function screen , there is no such button available, so how
can I determine which line am I supposed to enter data using LSMW.
One partner can have multiple no of BP and SH partners like more than 10
of both types. How do I upload these partner functions in SAP using LSMW?
Regards,
Ajay

That a customer master has several business partners is just usual, a customer can have as well several company codes and sales areas. So where exactly is the problem?
Most problems come with recordings, recordings should be the last option, not the first.
What import method do you use?

Replication Of Z Partner Functions from CRM to ECC

HI All,
We are creating the " Z Partner Functions " in SAP CRM & ECC.in our scenario partner functions flows from CRM to ECC and we want to replicate these partner functions from CRM to ECC.
So can some onle please tell me how to do this?.
Thanks in Advance,
Arun

1. Create the partner function in ECC
2. Assign the partner function to the relevant partner procedure in ECC
3. Create a partner function in CRM
4. Map the partner function as follows:
Customer Relationship Management
--> Basic Functions
--> Partner Processing
--> Data Transfer
--> Distribution of Partner Functions from R/3 into CRM
Create the following entry:
Partner function in R/3 Function
and also the below:
Create a mapping entry for data transfer from CRM to R/3 via the
following IMG activity in CRM:
Customer Relationship Management
--> Basic Functions
--> Partner Processing
--> Data Transfer
--> Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into R/3
Create the following entry:
Function R/3 function Type in R/3

R/3 Partner Function missing in CRM

Hi Guys,
There is partner function in R/3 called SR (Material safety sheet reciepient). This partner function is assigned as mandatory in R/3 while creating customers in R/3.
However in the CRM system there in Role similar to that one. How do I get around this issue. Even if i create a new role how will I link this new role to the R/3 partner function?
Ani

Hi Ani,
You need to map R/3 Partner funtion to CRM partner funtion and vica versa.
Please perform the partner funtion data transfer settings as below
In IMG settings,
Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Partner Processing-->
Data Transfer
Here in you have two mappings to be done
1) Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
2)Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Please read the help associated to IMG to get the clear picture.
And see the example for mapping of partner funtion 'Sold-to-Party'
i.e partner funtion in R/3: 'AG'
and Partner funtion '00000001' in CRM

Partner functions (R/3- CRM) based on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) or CP

Hi all gurus,
I am trying to replicate an partner-function base on personnel number/employee number for customers from R/3 to CRM.
For those partner-functions only the employee number is filled in KNVP-PERNR (the KNVP-KUNN2, KNVP-LIFNR and KNVP-PARNR are empty).
If I follow the replication process I don't see the employee number getting mapped to the "bapimtcs structure" (in function module COM_BUPA_MWX_CREATE_REL) and therefore those partnerfunctions are not replicated to CRM.
(all employees are entered in HR-R/3 and downloaded to CRM as business partners)
Basically this is exatly the same situation described in the following forum:
[Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) |Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR)]
What (function modules/configuration) is necessary to get those partner-functions being replicated to CRM?
Unfortunately I was pretty unable to collect valid solution track.
Thanks in advance,
AndreA

Hi Andrea,
We were able to solve the exact same issue.
Here are steps used by us to fix the issue :
IMG Settings in CRM :
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer>Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM>
Partner Function = VE
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014) ( can be any other partner function which is a employee)
Usage= CRM
Also make sure the following settings are also done
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer-->Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014)
Partner Function Cat = Employee
Scenario = CRM
R/3 func = VE ( even though you are using the PE partner function in ECCwe use VE here as you know VE is the german version of PE)
Type = MR master record
Also make sure that SAP Notes 1020514 and 1099363 have been applied in ECC.
Let me know if you have any issues. This should fix it.
Thanks

Replicating partner function (VE=sales employee) from CRM to ECC

Hello, we managed to replicate the ECC customers and contact persons to SAP CRM.
Now we also want to replicate to CRM the partner functions (VE = sales employee) of ECC that are linked to the customer in the sales view. When I replicate the object customer_rel they are not synchronised to CRM. I have maintainted the 'distribution of partner functions from SAP ECC into CRM and vice versa in SPRO.
What are the different steps that I need to do? What am I missing?
Should we be alble to see those relationships on BP in CRM once synchronised? If yes, in which relationship? Since the employee responsible is already filled manually for another function.
Thanks for your help on replicating partner functions from CRM to ECC?
Kr, Anouck

Hi Anouck.
If I've understood correctly, for that you must pass the employees from ECC to CRM first.
You can do this by running report RHALEINI at ECC side, but you must configure some things first (like creating a CRM grouping to indicate the number range for employees, and to activate at CRM side this integration)
Kind regards,
Garcia

Partner Functions

Dear All,
Iam Using the partner function in Customer master as VE=Sales Employee.
I have logged in Chinese and went to XD02 then In the Partners it is Showing PE instead of VE and It is saying Partner VE is not exists in TPAR.
But Where in the case of English it is fine and comming VE only.
I went to SE16 and seen TPAR(With English Log in), there i have found the entry and where PARVW=VE and NRAPT=PE,
Again I loged in Chinese and went to SE16 there i found TWO Entries as mentioed below.
1.PARVW=VE and NRAPT=PE then i came back again I have Given Input as where PARVW=PE and seen the Output, there it is showing PARVW=AF and NRAPT=AP.
I'm facing this problem only for Customer master and Sales Order is fine.
Please Guide me on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinay

hello, friend.
i presume you are looking for VE or PE which is sales personnel?
in IMG, partner determination, try going to the Partners Conversion and see if there is an equivalent entry for VE. if this does not help, post again.
this interests me because i have experienced many strange things working with partner functions in SAP. i guess this is another one of those.
regards.

Intercompany sales/billing - trading partner functionality

Hi Guys,
I understand the theory of trading partner.
But if anyone can give me an example (accounting entries) of trading partner in intercompany sales/billing..that would be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
MS

Hi Roman,
As you said, trading partner functionality in SAP is an excellent tool for inter-company transactions and elimination of intercompany payables and receivables for consolidation purposes.
1. The pieces of configuration / master data maintenance you need are:
a. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG (F5) -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Company (OX15)
b. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG (F5) -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Financial Accounting -> Assign company code to company (OX16)
c. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG (F5) -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Document Header -> Define Document Types (OBA7) - Here, for document types you want to use for inter-company postings, you may want to check the checkboxes 'Inter-company postgs' and/or 'Enter trading partner'. Read the SAP Help Documentation on these fields (press F1 when on the field).
d. Create your sister concerns as customers and vendors (preferably under an account group different from your external customers/vendors) and specify the Company you have created in (a) above in the Trading Partner field of Control data tab.
e. Enter Trading Partner in relevant G/L accounts (FS00) in Type/Description tab -> 'Consolidation data in chart of accounts' section.
f. Consider substitution rules (OBBH) for substituting Trading Partner in required transactions.
2. Things to consider for implementing the Trading Partner functionality for entities already performing day to day transactions on SAP.
I am not pretty sure about this, but I guess it is better to go for the change after you end a fiscal year and from the beginning of the next.
3. I think it is better to enable this functionality for everyone on SAP at once.
Good luck!

Replication of partner function from ECC to CRM

Hi experts,
We are working on CRM 5.0 with back end ECC 6.0
In our scenario we are creating sales orders in ECC and replicating it to CRM.
Now the problem is we have a partner function created in ECC which is entered manually ( not through partner determination procedure) . We have also created the same partner function in CRM but we are not able to populate that partner function field automatically.
Is there any way by which we can populate this ?
Points will be rewarded for suitable solution.
Regards,
Madhu

hi
just mainatining partner function wont be enough ,you need to do two things
1. mapping of BP function between CRM and ECC
2. specify the path from ECC to CRM so that they can be replicated successfully
so,IMG: Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing -> Data Transfer -> Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
this is the path where in distribution you need to specify the path
and maintain there the mapping between the R3 and CRM
RFC destination should be CRM and source is ECC
best regards

Benefits of using vendor partner function

Hello Experts:
I understand the general use of vendor partner function. But what are the benefits of using vendor partner function? Is it for ease of reporting? Is there a functionality down the line that will not be possible if a vendor partner function is not used?
The reasoning for this question is, I am at a client that has the general association of vendor and remit to addresses. However, they also have a scenario where they have one main vendor, but there are 30+ remit to addresses. These remit to addresses are dependent on the plant that placed the order. As an example, the vendor is AT&T, but the plant that uses the service in Caifornia sends the check to a remit to address in Calif. The plant in Arizona, sends their check to another AT&T remit to address in AZ.
My current solution is, for the client to create the partner function that are more straight forward, one main vendor and one remit to address. As for the vendors that have multiple remit to addresses, i am opting out not to create the partner function. Which is why I am asking if there is an issue not using vendor partner function.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

It is certainly possible to work without partner functions in SAP.
It is almost impossible to work without partner functions in SAP if you do business with global players and need some comfort for your processes.
It is impossible to work without partner functions if oyu have to do Intrastat reporting with SAP and your goods supplier is located in a different EU country than your vendor.
In your special case with AT&T without partner functions, you would enter the invoice to your main vendor, the payment run then creates a cheque to your main vendor (and you then use Microsoft word to create a lable with the remit to address that you stick over the SAP printed address on the cheque ..... how does Finance department know that it has to create this lable?.....how will you be able to trace who got the cheque? ..........this is not a good practice)
Especially in this case the partner funtions gives the real benefit.
partner funtions are not for ease of reporting, as You cannot run analyses for any of the other partner roles supplied in the standard system.
if you use invoicing party, then the invoicing partyu2019s account will be charged instead of the vendoru2019s.

Implementing Trading Partner Functionality

Our business has been on SAP for approximately 7 1/2 years. Over that time there have been many intercompany transactions, but the Trading Partner functionality has never been implemented. Based on my review, Trading Partner appears to be a helpful tool for intercompany transactions. Our business is currently running SAP 4.7. With that:
-What are the pieces that need to be configured to enable Trading Partner (SPRO Transactions or menu paths)?
-What are some things to consider for implementing the Trading Partner functionality for entities already performing day to day transactions on SAP?
-Is it better to enable this functionality for everyone on SAP at once, or on a company code by company code basis?
Thanks in advance for your advice
