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.

Difference between Sales employee and Employee responsible

Hi,
Can somebody explain the difference between sales employee and employee responsible
Thanks in advance
Reddy

hello, friend.
both sales employee and employee responsible have employee numbers and fall under partner type "PE".
an Employee Responsible is a more general term and could refer to someone who is supposed to maintain documents, who may be dedicated to service a customer or a set of customers, a credit employee or a quasi-manager. he can even be a sales employee.
a sales employee or sales personnel is more specific. usually this refers to the salesman who has a defined set of customer accounts. the sales employee is also specifically tracked in Sales Info System (e.g. t-code MCTI). this position carries the SAP standard code/partner function of "VE" (in German).
hope this helped you.
regards.

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.

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.

Automatic assignment of sales employee and Sales Org for account

Hi All
Is there any way I can assign the sales area and employee responsible automatically (based on user logged in) while creating an account?
regards
Subhasis

Yes.
For employee responsible define partner determination procedure. In this partner determination procedure define for employee responsible (probably you use function 00000014) the access sequence 0004 (User).
For organization you can use organizational rile 10000194 (ORGMAN_12). This determination rule delivers the responsible organizational unit of the user. User is defined as a business partner in the container attribute 'PARTNER'. If not, the system user (sy-uname) is used. organizational unit based on the user asignment.

Sales employee and sales group

Hi Gurus
How sales employees can be assigned to sales group . As understood a sales group have many sales employees but could not able to find in SPRO where sales employee is assigned to sales group?
How can we display sales employee in Sales order ? via partner function? are sales employees customer specific?
thx in advance

To avoid th use of HR that is not very well linked to SD you can:
1) use the SALES OFFICE field to describe the sales grupo
2) use the SALES GROUP fiel to describe the employee
3) assign 2 to 1
you define and assign them in customizing:
spro: enterpr.structure->definition->sales and distr.->maintain sales office / sls.group
spro: enterpr.structure->assignment->sales and distr.->Assign sales office to sales area / Assign sales group to sales office

What BOR Object contains Sales Team Members (Partner Functions)

We are running SAP CRM 7.0 and I've created a nice workflow upon creation of an opportunity.
See this link which I posted a few days ago: Re: Get employee responsible email
The opportunity BO BOR Object type is BUS2000111.
Within this object if I click the workflow container is another container for EmployeeResponsibleUser and here I was able to get the "Employee Responsible" by specifying "NameWithLeadingUS". This grabbed the email and sent it to the email address of the employee responsible.
This works great, but along with the employee responsible (which is just a partner function) I need to send the email to other Sales Team members (other partner functions defined in SPRO).
These members are defined as "Partner Functions".
Here is a screen shot of our SAP CRM 7.0 system with the partner functions:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5086/65625843.png
Right now in the container of BUS2000111 I can only see the employee responsible. How would I be able to see the other Partner functions like "Business Account Manager" or "Local Account Manager" etc...
They are all defined in SPRO
SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Define Partner Functions
And then related in
SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Define Partner Determination Procedure
I need these objects to be able to send email to these guys as well...So my question is what BOR object are these members stored in?

We've transfered all main Partners by the solution provided in Extract Custom Fields to BW

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!

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.

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.

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
