Set partner function for STO

Hi experts,
Currently there is a requirement from the customer that we need to set the partner function CR(forwarding agent) mandatory when we create STO. I have defined partner schema 0004, set CR mandatory and assign 0004 to the STO document type, but it doesnu2019t work, when I create STO, I can save the STO without input of CR.
Do we need to do enhancement on this requirement? Thanks.

Receiving plant is assigned a customer number in SPRO.
This partner function will be maintained in customer master of receiving plant. Use transaction VD02/ XD02.
This will work.

Partner Function for STO and relevant inbound delivery

Dear Expert,
i did the partner configuration for Vendor and STO with partner VN-vendor DP-delivery plant.
When i create the STO vendor UP07, both of VN and DP are UP07, but when i create the STO for UP07, no partner data come out for the PO, the partner data didn't copy out from vendor master.For standard PO not STO, the partner data are copied from vendor master automatically. Any advice any further more setting need to do?
I manually input the partner data for the STO, then i try to create inbound delivery, following incompleteness came out"Vendor : Account Number of Vendor or Creditor Missing",user need to manually input the partner number for LF-vendor.But when i check the partner setting for inbound delivery, LF is copied out from VN.Any more setting need to do to make sure the partner number of LF is auto copied from PO data.
Look forward to your reply,
Thank you and regards

Hello,
PLease check the vendor data created as a plant. Go to Vendor master and in purchasing view select extras -> additional Purchasing data-> in the plant assignment enter the Plant number. This will pull in the vendor details into the inbound delivery.
Thanks!!

Multiple Partner Functions for a Sales document Item

Hi,
Can you please advise on modeling scenario for showing multiple partner functions for a given sales document in BI Report ..
Because Key figure values should not be distributed for multiple records just becos of multiple partner functions but users want to see them in the reports along with sales doc and key figure
I am explaining bit more clearly...
I can achieve above requirement by having below model ..
SDOC ITEM PF1 PF2 PF3 AMOUNT
1000 10 AB CD EF 50000
PF : Partner Function
but as I feel it is a complicated task to add more and more columns fro partner functions as and when new partner functions have been added or requested to show by users at sales doc level...
So Can you please advise a better solution to meet the same requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
BRK
Please advise me on this scenario
Thanks & Regards,

SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
This will be the normal display in the cube if there is only one Partner Function.
But what we need is
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_________________' '
80000_________10_____________A3_________________' '
The Amount (KF) should be populated only for the first record for a SalesDoc / Item combo.
You load data from source to the ODS, say delta.
Suppose that the below record is already available in the ODS.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
And you get the following data as DELTA in the Data_Package from the source.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
If you populate the Amount again for these 2 records, then the total would sum to $3000, which is wrong.
So what we do is,
Write a Select stmt for ALL ENTRIES in Data_Package and fetch the records from the target ODS. Have it in an Internal table, say t_ODS1
Take the SalesDoc / Item from the Data_Package and chk if it is present in the internal table t_ODS1.
If it is present, then populate the Amount as ' ' (Blank)
Else populate the Amount as $1000.
Say, you are getting 3 new records, which is not present in the ODS1.
In that case, your internal table t_ODS1 will be blank.
Now again, we need to populate the Amount only for the first record among the 3 records.
So, here comes the "Flag".
Set the Flag as X, when we populate the Amount.
Everytime chk the Flag <> X.
Only if it is <> X, populate the Amount.
Else Leave it Balnk.
Hope I have explained in detail

Getting Partner details for STO

Hi Abapers,
I need to pick Partner details for STO. Do i need to hit Table: VBPA or KNVP?
I have delivery number and PO number(picked from EKBE-EBELN by passing EKBE- BELNR = LIKP-VBELN and EKBE-BEWTP = 'L'.) If i have to pick partner data from VBPA, then What do i need to pass to VBPA-VBELN. Is it Delivery Number or PO?
Please Help !!

Hi Premraj,
Since its an STO (Stock Transport Order) between different plants/ depots of the same organisation, usually, the partner funtions pertaining to a PO ( as in main vendor, ordering address, invoicing party and goods supplier) are different than your std. SO (as in sold-to-party, ship-to-party, bill-to-party and payer).
So, it is always advisable, that unless maintained in the PO, in case of STO, the partner functions, must always be taken from the customer master table KNVP, where the customer no. is in the "Item Detail" section, "shipping" tab, where we get the customer no.
Hope all this is helpful.

Partner schema for STO

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody tell me how to get the partners inthe STO Header- Partner tab.
defined the partner schema for vendor master, assigned it to the A/C group.
defined the partner schema for purchasing document, assigned it to the document type.
tested with a normal PO where i need to give the vendor #, the partner function details populate into the partner tab. however in STO where i give the supplying plant #, the partner functions associated with the vendor for that supplying plant do not get populated.
Also i need the partners in the STO to be copied over to the delivery, i've configured the partner determination procedure for deliveries but is there a copy control i need to maintain?
any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Michelle.

Thanks all of u for responding...,
do the partner functions in STO get carried over to Deliveries. The STO are combining to give single delivery.
I cant change the customer master order combination indicator as i want to the deliveries to combine when they come from the same plant and the receiving plant is also the same for both deliveries. and want the deliveries to split when the supplying plants are different even though the recieving plant is the same.
Let me make it bit clear:
Say supplying plants are A,B and C and all three plants are supplying to the Recieving plant D.
A---> D
B---> D
C---> D
A---->D
When i go to VL10B to create deliveries in the background, I want the deliveries coming from A to combine into 1 delivery and individual deliveries from B and C.
Any i/p is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Michelle

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 ?
Regards,
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.

Creating multiple partner function for a sale order @ header level

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i have to create more than one partner funtion for a sale order @ header level. But the system did not allow this sort of scenario and i got the error,
Partner function ZZ can only occur 1 times in procedure TA (Sales Document Header)
the function module that was giving this error was SD_PCHECK_PARVW_COUNT_OK
here the function module checks if a partner function already exists if so it throws that error. This also updates the VBPA table where partner function is one of the key fields.
Our issue is that we have to allow the system to enable posting 2 or more partner function for the same sale order. It was also verified that the unique key was unchecked during configuration.
is there any other way of over coming this issue as we are updating the standard table. Is it possible??
Thanks a lot in advance for your reply....

I believe this is a configuration setting, based upon the details of your post. Typically, a sales order can have multiple partner functions, but usually the partner type is not duplicated at a single level (header or one item). For example, it would not be logical to have multiple ship-to partners at the header level...these would be unique at the item level, if required.
Speak to your SD functional specialist about the configuration controls for partners, if you must have more than one partner with parvw = ZZ, for the entire order (header level).

Error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU"

Hi Experts,
I'm having these error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU" (message VN041) when I tried to assign a partner function (e.g OA) in the conditions records for application "EV" (Purchase outline agreement). The system do not allow me to do this for any doc type (LP, LPA, MK, OA, etc). I'm using t-code NACE or MN08.
I want to assign partner for key combination "Document Type". The conditions is already there but with no value, so I want to assign partner function "OA" or "VR".
I already check all the configuration and looks fine. For example, define possible partner functions for output type "NEU" for application "EV" (Purc outline agree).
Hope you can help me to find the problem.
Thanks,
Mairo.

I have the error in NACE or using tcode MN08.
As soon I executed those transaction the system shows the condition records created for varios Doc Type (e.g LP, LPA, MK, etc) but with no partner function assigned. For example:
Doc. Type / Name                     /             Funct /   Partner     /            Medium / Date/time /   Language
LP        /       Scheduling Agreement     / blank / blank /                                          2      /          3   /              EN
LPA      /      Scheduling Agreement                              / blank    / blank   /                1        /       3         /        EN
For example, I try to assign function "OA" for Doc. Type "LP", choose value from quickpick. Then when I press enter, the system give me the error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU", message no. VN041. Do not allow me to continue, so I have to leave this field blank, with no change.
Thanks,

Partner functions for a specific customer not seen in XD03 but appears in XD02

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a situation where a partner functions for a specific customer not seen in XD03 but appears in XD02, In XD03 only one partner function (Ship to) appears but in XD02 (Sold to, Ship to, Bill to and payer appears), from the customer master I can see that account group for this customer has been changes to Sold to (Z001) from Ship to (Z002).
I checked in settings for OB20 transaction for display customer centrally, it is in Display mode as required and not suprresed would like your inputs as to why this is happening and what can be done to fix this.
Thanks and Regards
Mohammed Roshan

Hi ROshan,
Open customer master in XD02 sales view and save it then check in XD03 it should display the partner functions.
As you said the account group has been changed I think the records needs to be saved again.

What is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),
Actually we create partner functions before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.
These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.
Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.
Thanks&Regards
sreenivas peruru

There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.
Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.
So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...
Hope this helps...
THanks,

Classic Scenario PO has multiple OA Partner Functions for Vendor

Hi,
I have a 'design' issue. My R/3 Vendor has many OA Partner Functions for the different Branches they have and the PO needs to be Faxed to the OA Partner Function number, but the PO needs to be created against the VN Partner Function.
So, how do i do this in SRM? I was going to have a seperate Catalog link for each OA Partner function, but this is not creating the R/3 PO with VN Partner Function of the 'core' Vendor number.
Does anyone have any advice for this?
