Use of partner assignement fields
Hi,
I would like to know the 'real' use of partner assignment fields. For instance, we could focus on the 'partner segment' field (the field segment is used as recommended in the standard: the segment is both the SAP field and the IFRS notion of business segment):
Use 1) the partner fields are storing the information of the trading parner : the 'partner segment' is the 'segment' of the 'trading partner'. This is useful when doing preconsolidation routines such as intercompany reconciliation : we reconcile data from company A Segment X with trading partner B partner segment Y
Use 2) the partner fields are storing the historical value of the allocated fields: e.g. when segment 99_TBD is allocated to segment 01, the partner segment field is used to store on line item the relationship between segment 99_TBD and segment 01.
This is useful to track the origin of the data flow for allocations (and for clearing account in document splitting)
Thank you for helping me!

Business example
Those 2 uses of partner fields are not conciliable : here is a example that shows this inconsistency :
I have a relationship between two companies. On one company, the segment has to be allocated. I have to reconcile data by company code and segment.
Here is the posting in the company where its segment has to be allocated (from 99_TBD to 01):
Company A / Segment 99_TBD / Trading partner B / Partner segment 06 100
I would like to allocate segment 99_TBD to segment 01, so I would expect the following intercompany posting:
Company A / Segment 99_TBD / Trading partner B / Partner segment 06 (100)
Company A / Segment 01 / Trading partner B / Partner segment 06 100
=> Thus, the intercompany positions are:
Company A / Segment 01 / Trading partner B / Partner segment 06 100
This is the result I expected
But when running the allocation cycle, the following is the posted:
Company A / Segment 99_TBD / Trading partner B / Partner segment 01 (100)
Company A / Segment 01 / Trading partner B / Partner segment 99_TBD 100
=> Thus, the intercompany positions are:
Company A / Segment 99_TBD / Trading partner B / Partner segment 06 100
Company A / Segment 99_TBD / Trading partner B / Partner segment 01 (100)
Company A / Segment 01 / Trading partner B / Partner segment 99_TBD 100
This not what is expected: the allocation of company A should have no impact on the segment of company B
Can you help me understand this? How the field partner segment should be used?
Thanks

Wrong assignment field (ZUORN) using transaction MR08
Hi all,
On SAP R/3 4.6b we run transaction MR01 with unplanned delivery costs. As we have some price differences, the FI document has a line with the right price diff. G/L account. This G/L account has its sort key field (ZUAWA) filled with code '013' (Material Number), so the assignment field (BSEG-ZUONR) of this price differences item on the FI document, is filled with the corresponding material number (BSEG-MATNR).
The oustanding point is, when we cancel this document using MR08 this assignment field is filled with the SAP standard sort key code '014' (P.O number + P.O item // BSEG-EBELN+BSEG-EBELP). This is the sort key belonging to the GR/IR G/L account of the FI document. Thus, we have a credit note with a different text on assignment field than the original invoce (only for the price diff. acount line) !!!
We have check taht this not occurs if the invoice have not any unplanned delivery costs.
We do not use either substitutions or user-exits for feeding the assignment field.
Could you please give me a hint?

Using Assignment field or Segment field for adding product information
Hello people,
My costumer is using the new general ledger and wants too be able too add product information too FI postings. They have put their focus on using either the assignment field or the segment field (other options are not a possibility). Using the segment field will make profibility analysis easier because of existing reports. However, Iu2019ve heard of performance issues when the amount of segments used increases too say 50 or more. Does anyone have any experience with either 1 of these situations and or some good advice?
Many thanks,
KeesAs you have mentioned, reflection error mostly occurs when there is a object type mismatch.
If it is of type object reference then try
newMember.getFieldMetadata("VENDOR_REF").set(newMember,vendorBean.getObjectReference());
Further, check if the vendor object enclosed in the collection member "newMember" and the vendor object "vendorBean" are of the same type.

Any SAP program insert cheque number to assignment field of outgoing bank.
Hi Expert,
During outgoing payment, SAP has the following double entry:
Dr Vendor
Cr Outgoing bank
> After the above FI document created (clearing document), cheque is printed in order to issue to vendor for payment. At the time of cheque printing, SAP generate the cheque number.
In order to have smooth bank reconciliation process, the outgoing bank field is enter (edit the FI clearing document) with cheque number.
Question: Does sap have any program that can be used to insert assignment field with cheque number (after the cheque printed)?
Other than this, any other possible option for bank reconciliation problem mention above?
Thanks,
sbmelHi ,
In the outgoing bank GL account use the functionaliyt of Sort key - put there assignment number as sort key .
In sort key IMG settings make settings for check no. so that when ever a document is posted check no gets populated in assignment field .
Secondly , use the T code FCHU to update the assignment field for the same .

Regards.I do not think you can reverse this. Once "Reference" is updated it cannot be changed, unlike line items "Assignment"
If you want to hide, the only option is to copy this program and make changes accordingly.
As far as defaulting "Assignment" is concerned, you better create a selection variant. Ask the user to select this variant at the time of execution. -
Customer no to populate the Assignment field for Sales A/c using sort key
Dear All,
In 6.0, I am trying to get the Customer number to populate the Assignment field for Sales Account
We have set the sales account to a 031 sort key - sort by customer, in FS00. When 031 is set, SAP goes to the BSEG table and looks at the KUNNR (customer) field and populates the Assignment field with what is in the KUNNR field of BSEG.
The problem is: the customer number (KUNNR) does not contain any data in BSEG.
The KUNNR field of all the other account lines for the document number are blank.
Is it possible to bring the field in the General Ledger display?
Does anyone know of a user exit or other solution?
Thanks,
GovHi,
Check with SD consultant and use Copy control. -
User Exit to Change 'Assignment Field' while uploading Bank statement using FF_5
Hi Experts,
We are uploading bank statement using tcode FF_5. It creates BDC of FB01. then we process it via SM35. Its a country specific bank statement (Hungary). Now while processing BDC we found that document header text (BKTXT) and Assignment (ZUONR) field is filled with the combination of two keys of table FEBEP.
Screen shot of BDC
Screen having document header text:
Next Screen having Assignment
These both fields are the combination of FEBEP-KUKEY -Short key (surrogate) and FEBEP-ESNUM -Memo record number (line item number in bank statement).
Both fields are getting filled inside the standard program RFEBBU00 (This program creates BDC)
Now user wants 'posting date' in the Assignment field. Functional has changed the configuration so while doing manually via FB01 , posting date gets populated in Assignment field but While uploading via FF_5 this standard report gets called and it populates the key combination.
I am working on SAP 4.7 .
Is these any user exit or sap note for this info.
Please help me. if anyone has any idea that would be helpful.

FB01 - Can we use assignment field to mention GL Account ?
Dear Experts,
We have a requirement regarding India GAAP and in this regard kindly share your valuable inputs.
We are going with account solution ( maintaining multiple accounts)
Current Plan
In this context, we have to maintain many GL Accounts.
Hence we want to maintain few GL Accounts say a single P&L Accounts for IGAAP, wherein while posting IGAAP accounting entry.
We wish to use assignment field to reference the original GL Account against which this valuation entry is posted
Eg: As per US GAAP
400000 GL Depreciation Plant & Machinery Debit $5500
200000 GL Accumulated Depreciation Plant & Machinery Credit $5500
As Per IGAAP, Depreciation amount is $6100, hence the valuation difference ( $6100-$5500= $600)
Line 1- 999999 IGAAP Depreciation Valuation Difference Debit $600
Line 2- 299999 I GAAP Accumulated Difference Credit $600
In the Line Item 1 , in the assignment field , we mention GL Account 400000 as reference and
in the Line Item 2 , in the assignment field , we mention GL Account 299999 as reference.
Query
Can we make a setting in assignment field that GL Account only should be used for the document type, otherwise it should an error.
Note: We would be using seperate document type for the above IGAAP postings.

Service Desk - need IB52 iBase "partner assignment" mass change
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are using SAP Service Desk in Solution Manager 7.0 EhP-1.
There are many satellite systems connected to SolMan using Service Desk.
Of course all of them are setup in SMSY, have a valid iBase entry in IB52, and have the "sold-to-party" assigned in IB52 -> Goto -> Partner.
Now we need to assign a new business partner as "sold-to-party" for all these systems.
We do not want to rename the current business partner, but have to assign a new business partner to not influence existing tickets.
Thus, manually we would need to go to IB52 and change the partner assignment in IB52 -> Goto -> Partner and enter a new value for all the systems.
Q: is there a way to perform a mass change for the "sold-to-party" partner assignment of the iBase entries? Is it possible to update or replace all or multiple existing partner assignments in iBase?
Many thanks,
PeterHi Christian,
Can you please tell me how did you create iBase for NON-SAP Systems? I know it is IB51/IB52? I am not sure what do you do after that? For an example I went to IB51 and create iBase number 403? now I go to IB52 and put the 403 in the installed Base field and click on Green arrrow to go inside correct? what do I do after that? where is the options to create the iBase name call "Network Group" ?
How did you solve your issue for not showing when you went to F4 in NOTIF_CREATE? was that authorization error? if yes, do you know the object name?
any help is much much appreciated
Thanks in Advance

'Business Partner Assigned to the User' Access Sequence don't work
Hello.
I use access sequence 0008 (Business Partner Assigned to the User) in my Partner determination procedure. But it doesn't work. Corresponding Partner field in service document is empty. But I need that BP linked with logon user filled it.
I've made the same settings on another incstanse of SM and it's work. And what the difference between I don't understand.
Edited by: Dmitry Udot on Feb 13, 2011 2:31 AMSorry, but I don't quite get it. My purpose is to have 9 policies all working all the time (they did at in one version of firmware). I don't care about time entries for these. All 9 policies are full of keywords and websites to block webpages related to porn to one degree or another. The 10th policy is time-based to prevent internet access altogether for one or two computers through the wee hours of the morning. This, all in leu of having no parental controls.
Again, it would help if there was more detailed documentation on how this all works. This is the first I am aware that time settings in one policy could affect or impede the operation of other policies. How am I supposed to know this?
In any case, I appreciate your assistance and looking into this for me. But can you now tell me how to make it work so the policies will work as I want - the first 9 around the clock all the time, and the 10th one only from 1:30 am to 8:00 am (every day). Please instruct me on how I am supposed to configure this to work, and what specific settings I am supposed to enter... if it is even possible. Or is there another way of accomplishing this on my WRT54G (Rev. 2) product? Thanks.

DOCUMENT SPILTTING ON BASIS OF TRADING PARTNER(VBUND) FIELD
Dear Friends
We are on ECC 5.0, we have activated document splitting on BUSINESS AREA basis..
As for new requirement for consolidated financial reports, we have also added TRADING PARTNER(vbund) field for document splitting ..
We have define companies(trading partner), assign them to relevant customer and vendor master.
Also have tick INTER COMPANY POSTING AND TRADING PARTNER field in document types(OBA7)
in documents, with vendor and customer relevant line items trading partner is coming automatically..
for G/L related line items we want that trading partner should come automatically through document splitting ..
please note that we cant assign trading partner with G/Ls in chart of accounts as same G/Ls can be used with different different trading partner at the same time..
Kindly help me in this issue..
Regards
Expertia..Document Splitting is too complex a concept for Substitution. If you have to just copy the Business partner to the missing lines, then you can use substitution. But if you have more than one BP in any entry and the transaction has to generate entries accordingly to balance it, substitution cannot do that.
If you are trying to split on any field other than Business Area, Profit Center and Segment, it involves a lot of work in terms of configuration and development. You have to develop your custom routine to enable splitting on your selected field (VBUND) in your case.
If I remember right, there is a consulting note which explains a brief summary of what is to be done for having Document splitting on custom fields. You can try searching Service Market place.

Free form partner function field in Sales document header and item..
Hello Experts,
Is there anyway we can use the partner functions functionality in Sales document header and item level, so that we can enter a free form number in the Partner field? I mean is it possible to be able to enter a free form number WITHOUT getting validated against corresponding master data like Customer or Vendor master, Contact person, Personnel or User master records?Hi,
It is not possible.
Because partner function will be determined in the sales document header and item as per the configuration you have done in the partner determination.
It is not possible to enter a number wihich is not created and assigned.

Unable to change account assignment field in PO
Hi Experts!
We are using SRM 7.0 with extended classic scenario.
We are facing an issue with account assignment category field in a PO.Here is our scenario.
User created a PO with costcenter account assignment field and this PO transffered to backend system i.e R/3.
When the user again tried to edit the PO in SRM and change the account assignment field from costcenter to Internal order that is not possible because the
account assignment field is grayed out .Then the user has to create a new PO with Internal order as the old PO didn't allowed him to change.
Can any one help me in this regard with some OSS note or any other possible solution and what might be the reason for the same?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kalyani.Hello Kalyani,
Just to understand, Is your PO has Good Receipt or Invoice receipt processed? If so then PO do not allow to change the account assignment as charges are booked already.
If not i would recommend to check if your BBP_GETSTATUS_2 job is running with proper interval? Sometime old PO's do not get refresh status if BBP_GETSTATUS_2 variant is set based on SAP recommendation (i.e. 7 days or so). In that case please execute manually BBP_GETSTATUS_2 and validate.
Thank you

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Feb 9, 2012Hi,
Thanks, I will check the same. Well, I will be clearing the documents with reference to MIGO number itself. When I do my delivery chrgs migo, that number I need to be populated in my line item's assignment field. Not only that but I the same number should get populated in the delivery charges miro. Since my miro is with ref to PO it becomes difficult to fetch the field.
Plz let me know if you can help me on this as well.

Assignment Field Get Cleared(blank) During Automatic Payment Run(F110)
Hi all,
We have a senario that during the creation of AP invoice, the Profit Center is entered in Assignment field ( BSEG-ZUONR) in FB01.In the invoice document the assignment field value correctly copied into Profit center (BSEG-PRCTR) based on a subsititution rule.
But during the payment document run (F110) the assignment field is get cleared (Blank).and in REGUP table, the Assignment field get populated correctly.
By displaying the payment document using transaction code FB03, the assingment fields is empty.ie field BSEG-ZUONR is empty. .
We have checked all the subsititution rules defined in the system and none of these causing the problem. We suspect there are some hidden subsititution or configurations in SAP that affect the assignment. We also checked the sort key is not the cause of it.
Have anyone encounter the same scenario why the Assignment field get cleared(blank) in Payment document. Please kindly share.
Regards
RiazHi,
I think you are trying to Run Automatic Payment Programme with Check Management and you want to Print check and payment summary.
Kindly check if you have defined SAP Scripts in FBZP Payment Method in Company Code.Select a Co Code and double click on payment method eg C-Cheque, their is a section called FORM DATA you need to input Scripts for the same so that the Payment Programme prints output as defined in the SAP Script for Checks and payment advice
