Restrict Partner functions to a particular category

Hi Folks,
We are planning to use the standard partner function  SB - stock partner in our document. This is entered manually by the users.
we want to make sure the users only enter the BP that are defined as Sold-to party for this partner function.
For the SB partner function I have defined as the sold to -party in the function category .
We are getting the error message only one partner function of function category Sold-to is assigned.
can you please let me know how can we achieve the desired functionality.
Thanks in Adavnce

Hi,
You will have three possibilities.
1. In Release Strategy set release indicator as 1.
Caution : Once this indicator is set you / anyone  cannot change the PO forever.
I suggest you not to change release Indicator bcoz sometimes u need to change Po. you will get difficulty then.
2. You can restrict / Block Users to ME22N Tcode by contcting basis guy..
3. You can use Version Management.
Plz assign points if its helpful answer.
Reg,
Ashok

  • Partner function mandatory for Item category

    Hi all,
    Here is the requirement & current settings,
    For consignment sales process ,we have 2 diff. item cat.  ,    for both common partners are SH,SP,BP,PY.
    For consgn. issue item category we ned retailer as mandatory partner.
    created a new partner as retailer & asigned in the account grourp,
    Created new partner procedure  with ship to party & retailer as mandatory functions & asigned to cons. issue item category.
    While creating consignment issue w.r.t consignment fill up, in the order the partner retailer has to be a mandatory function, but with current settings it is allowing to save the sales order.
    is there any thing to be maintained,
    your inputs will be appretiated.

    You can try this.
    Go to IMG SD > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Item.
    There create a new Partner Det.Procedure say Z, by copying standard N. Next click on Partner Functions in Procedure.  Now, against this new Z procedure, you can see that special stock partner.  Against that partner, select the box Mandatory.
    Next click on Partner Determination Procedure Assignment and select Item Category KEN and assign Z.
    Finally, assign this Z to your item category in VOV7
    Now try the process and update the forum.
    thanks

  • New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

    Hi CRM Gurus!,
      Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
    We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
    The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure". 
    These are the values. fro my new function:
    Function: ZSLFN004
    Text: Additional Processor
    Abbrev.: ZAMS
    Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
    Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
    Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
    The partner functions in my procedure are:
    00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
    00000046 Approved by (CRM)
    SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
    SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
    SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
    SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
    ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
    But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
    00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
    00000046 Approved by (CRM)
    SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
    SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
    SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
    SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
    I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
    By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Gustavo Balboa

    Hi Vishant,
      Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
    To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
    Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
    Regards
    Gustavo Balboa

  • Assinging bp roles to partner functions

    Hi friends,
    can you please let me know how to asian bp role to partner functions?

    Hi,
    You can try the following:
    While defining the partner function we can specify the relationship category, check the following customizing.
             SPRO>Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Partner Processing>Define Partner Functions.
    Here define the partner function with specific relationship category and then open transaction 'BUBA' here you can assign BP role to relationship category.
    More over for some BP roles, for example 'Client', if you maintain a BP with catagory Organization, you will see 'Exclude Partner Function' tab in transaction BP. here you will see all the allowed Partner Functions and if you want to exclude some PFs here it can be done.

  • Table where Partner function related to any particular ticket is stored

    Hi All,
    Can Anybody tell me name of the table where Partner function related to any particular ticket is stored.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    The table vision CRMV_LINKPARTNER will retrieve the information you're looking for (just enter the service ticket GUID as input).
    If you take a look how this vision is elaborated, you'll check how you can associate the table CRMD_ORDERADM_H to table CRMD_PARTNER.
    Kind regards.

  • Sales Partner Functions - Restricted access for assigned partners

    Sales Department would like to use a partner function to assign a responsible salesman to a customer.  They would also like to restrict the access of the salesman to only those customers (and their associated sales orders/deliveries) that are assigned to him.
    How is this done from an authorization perspective?

    Hi,
    This can be achieved thru user exit.  You might need to create the authorization objects for document type, partner function and this has to be assigned to the concerned user.  The validation can be done with the field ERNAM and SYUNAME. 
    Thanks

  • Partner Function Restriction for Export Licnese in GTS

    Hi GTS Guru,
    We are setting a export license with license type IVLP, in order to restrict the forwarding agent, we check "Partner function" in the "Objects to be check" in the definition of licnese type.
    And we also setup the appropriate partner group:
    10 WE   ship-to party
    20 AG    sold-to party
    30 CR    forwarding agent
    In the license, we also setup appropriate partners in the "partner" tab of the license.
    Then we go back to ECC.
    1. create a STO -> Add the forwarding agen partner;
    2. create the delivery -> it seems the forwarding agent partner was not copied from teh STO; then we add the appropriate forwarding agent in the header of the delivery;
    3. Run "/SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALR3" to transfer the outbound delivery from ECC to GTS.
    4. But it was blocked at the license check
    The detail error information is " Partner Function CR does not exist in the document"
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    You can download a file include all screen snapshot for the whole progress.
    http://rapidshare.com/files/229733335/Log_For_SAP_Support.doc.html
    Thanks for your help...

    Hi Rajesh,
    1. I can't subsequent to create the transfer order for the delivery -> the issue log is " SAP GTS: Legal control: item () will not adopted", that might becasue the delivery was blocked by export license.
    2. I can see all 3 partner in the customs documents:
        The detail is as following:
       Sold-To Party for Export     4804     CN     320093                 -> partner function: AG
       Fwd. Agent (Export and Import)     33997     US     EXDO   -> partner function: SP
       Ship-to Party for Export     4804     CN     320093                 -> partner function: WE
    The root cause for this issue might be the partner function for 33997 is not CR, which is SP in this case.
    Then I go to check the partner function definition in GTS, the description for SP is sold-to party.
    Could you let me know what's the descript of SP in your standard system?
    The next step I am going to test is:
    1. Change the partner group, remove CR, and add SP.
    2. Update the export license: change CR to SP for 33997.
    3. I also need to change the assignment of partner function from Feeder System;
    4. Re-do the delivery transfer again.
    Please help and advice if it is the root casue for this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • A new partner function is been defined for a particular customer in r/3?

    Hi All,
    There is a new partner functions been defined for a customer apart from soldto,shipto,payer,billtoparty partner functions.
    The new partner functions is Sales head.
    And how to i bring the sales head information from the customer master from r/3 to bw?
    Do i need to create a new zobject nor enhance the customer master ? nor simply create an sales head object in bw and define the characteristics as Reference characteristics??
    pls help me !!
    Thanks
    Pooja

    Hi,
    You should enhance the standard Data source 0customer_attr with that additional partner function (sales head) as per the proper logic and replicate the same . if it is 3.5 that same object( related to that field length and data type) same object can be added as attribute at info object level and do the transfer rules   and activate that and try to the load.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • You cannot maintain the address (partner function 'Ship-to party' is empty)

    Dear Experts,
          I create one outbound delivery but when I click on address ( Symbol next to ship to party) it is showing below error.
    You cannot maintain the address (partner function 'Ship-to party' is empty)
    Message no. VPD017
    I also check customer master , address is maintain properly.
    in partner functions Sold-to party , Bill-to party , Payer , Ship-to party all are same. ( example: if bill to party is ABC then payer , ship to pary , bill to party all are ABC).
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Nirav Desai

    Hii Nirav Desai,
    You do correctly "configure automatic partner determination". The steps are as below -
    Customer Master
    Sales Document Header
    Sales Document Item
    Delivery Type
    Shipment Type
    Billing Header
    Billing item
    Sales Activities
    1.     How to define partner?
    A grouping of partner functions. The procedure specifies which partner functions are allowed for a particular business transaction (for example, for processing a sales order) and which of those partner functions are mandatory.
    Use
    You define partner determination procedures in SD Customizing through Functions -> Partner determinat.
    u2022     In sales documents, for example, you can specify the partner determination procedure according to sales document type and item category. During order entry, the system first proposes partners from the customer master record of the sold-to party. If this information does not exist in the customer master, the system automatically proposes the mandatory partners from the partner determination procedure that you specify in the document header.
    u2022     For billing documents, for example, you can specify a partner determination procedure where the sold-to party, bill-to party, and payer are mandatory but the ship-to party is not (for billing, you are more interested in who orders and pays for the goods than in who receives them).
    Thanks and Regards,
