Vendor hold function

Hello,
our users work very often with the hold function in ME21N, because for new venndors we have a specific creating flow.
So the purchaser creats a PO without vendornumber and do hold.
The PO is correct in all points. The purchaser maintain the header text of PO also on a very detailed level. (2 pages is nessesary)
If the Vendor is created the purchaser put it in the PO. What happens?
All header texts are lost.
Is this normal that the header text are lost if i fill the vendor in a holded PO?
The same Behavior do we have on item level if we change the materialnumber.
Here we lost all item texts.(material-text i would unterstand)
Is this a normal Behavior or is there a possibility to manage this.
Regards
Ralf

"HOLD" functionality NOT working in Sourcing cockpit.

Gurus,
I have 2 issues:
1)
I am trying to hold requsitions in Sourcing cockpit but when I add them to Workarea and click " HOLD" button it doesn't do anything ( NO Messagee, Nothing) and when I check back in it still shows the requsition item in the scourcing cockpit not the hold status.
I think the Hold Functionality is not working properly...is thee any fix to it or any OSS Note.
2)
We are facing a issue with the Vendor Text being getting copied from a catalog item to a Free Form item while the creation of shopping cart.
When I am creating a SC - say with 3 line items with 3rd line item as Freeform item and 1st and 2nd as catalog items then the vendor text is getting copied from the Catalog line items in to the Freeform line item.
So if two catalog line items are there then Vendor text gets copied twice in the Freeform Line item.
Is there any OSS note or any fix for this
Kindly advice.

Vendor partner functions

Hi SAP gurus,
I have 3 scenarios of Vendor partner function.
So please help me to configure this.
In scenarios 1 & 2 procurement is made from overseas source and supplier, in scenario 1 source & suppliers are different; In scenario two source & supplier are same. In scenario three material is procured locally with possibility of cash purchase or is done under barter scheme.
Waiting for reply.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answer.
Regards,
Ravi.

In scenario 1 source & suppliers are different
How they are differnt if the ordering address is different then use "OA" partner function in the vendor master record
If invoicing party is different then maintain "PI" partner function in the vendor master record.
In scenario two source & supplier are same
No need to maintain partner function.Since same vendor is playing all the roles.

Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

What are the different Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

Hi Manoj,
I guess most of ur questions are related to SAP Business One (Functional) rather than the SDK. So please post ur questions in the SAP Business One forum rather than in the SAP Business One SDK forum. Then u'll get quick replies.

Does SRM support Vendor Partner Functionality from ECC?

Does SRM support or sync up with Vendor Partner functions in ECC such as OA, VN, PI, etc.?
Initial look at SRM does not suggest that SAP has made it easy to replicate partner functions in SRM.

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.

Vendor partner function

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1. for the partner roles like goods supplier, invocing party, order party, etc do all these need to have different account groups , example one account group for goods supplier, one account group for invoicing party, etc , etc.
or these can be accomodated in one account group. i have 2 types of vendors domestic and foreign. thinking of having 2 account group ZDOM and ZIMP.
can i have partner function of domestic vendors in ZDOM and partner functions of foreign vendors in ZIMP.
2. if we have a partner function of invocing party (IP), while doing MIRO automatically the vendor assigned to the IP partner roles get defaulted.
how the system understands this? I want to know where this logic is there.
Regards

Hi,
It seems you have not picked the question correctly.
If i am using the same account group where the vendor schema is mandatory, it will be required to be put in IP also.
you cannot do away with it. the parameter what are there in a particluar account group, all always applicable to all the vendor created in that account group.
your comments:
u will assign a pricing procedure to the IP only in case u need a certain type of conditions which are not avilable in the standard pricing procedure ......................and which ever conditions are selected in the po then these are used in MIRO
becaues in miro you will be verifying the invoice with refer. to some documents and system picks the conditions from po
please give a relook into your answer.
*my comments:
vendor partner function is at Header level where as conditions can be at header and item levels.
the conditions will be applicable of VN vendor. how can you have different conditions for main vendor and some different for partner vendor.
if it is possible let me know how can I give value for the conditions maintained for partner function.
Regards

How to CIF vendor partner function

Hi All,
Can someone explain how to CIF the vendor partner function into SNC ? Does the standard Integration model work for it ?
Regards
Vivek Jaju

Hi Vivek,
In ECC we have CIFLOC01 (EXIT_SAPLCLOC_002) user exit for CIF location enhancement but i don't think so this will help you.
Also there is no field in SNC location master that we can use to stored this partner function data in SNC(may Z-field can be created but it is not good)
What is the requirement for which you need partner function information in SNC?

Nikhil

Configuration of Vendor Partner Function

Dear All,
Please provide the configuration steps for vendor partner functions.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi venkat
Partner Function:
In Purchasing, you have contact with various business partners (e.g. vendors or carriers).
For each account group, you can define which roles the business partners may assume.
Ex: You can specify that certain vendors may function as ordering addresses only - not as invoicing parties.
You can use partner roles both within a corporate group and to define relationships between independent firms.
Yes, when you assign partners for the main vendor. It will display all the partnering vendors for the Main vendor. Subsequently you will receive the invoices from the respective vendors.
And for that you need to configure the partner determination
in SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing -->
--> Partner Roles
Define partner roles
Define permissible partner roles per account group
--> Partner Settings in vendor master record
Define partner schemas
Assign partner schemas to account groups
--> Partner Settings in Purchasing document
Define partner schemas
Assign partner schemas to document types
Follow the steps to complete the partner determination configuration setup.
And then create a vendor master record for the each account group (each vendor can have different vendor account group) and choose the respective partner account group and then create.
And maintain, the partner vendors in the main vendor (which is created with account group : 0001, main vendor partner role is VN).
and
then you can see the partners in the Partner function in the Main Vendor Master record.
Pls follow the steps accordingly, you will get it.
Reward if useful

Shawn

MIGO use of the HOLD function

HI Experts
I have a requirement that the user will use a approval while posting MIGO.
f.e. the tolerance checks failes and MIGO doesn´t allow to post. This is the trigger to ask the next higher person for approval to allow a higher tolerance.
My Idea was to use the hold function.
I will use BADI MIGO_GR_CHECK (MB_MIGO_BADI) Method HOLD_DATA_SAVE.
But the problem is that I need the current information from MIGO (later MSEG/MKPF).
Do you know how to get the information?
The Paramter I can use in this method is just I_GUID.
I know there is a sample coding, but this doesn´t help.
Thanks
Alex

My macbook won't boot up or respond to start up letter-holding functions??

Can anyone shed some light on the problem I seem to be having. I'm trying to revive my macbook from the dead, it has been in the loft since it died on me nearly 2 years ago, so I cannot even remember which OS is installed, pretty sure its Leopard tho. My macbook loads up to the start screen (apple logo and rotation loading graphic) but goes further. I have trawled through copious amount of forums looking for an answer but they all tell me to hold command and R or hold shift, non of these functions see to be having an effect. I am reluctant to take it to an apple store as I foresee the obvious "Its the logicbaord, £400 please". The macbook is worth about £200 (when working) so I could justify a £400 fee to fix it. I also can't afford to buy a second hand one at the moment so I'm desperate to fix this myself, even if I buy the parts and fit them myself (I'm pretty good that that) just can diagnose it to find what the problem actually is. Is it possible to connect it to another PC or MAC and remotely diagnose it?
Any ideas you guys have would be very helpful. I have already come to terms with the loss of my macbook so I will survive with just my Windows laptop, but I am one who refuses to the something beat me. Am I clutching at straws?
Shaun

You've probablby seen this Apple note and done all the steps in it?

Vendor partner function is overriding my output determination for PO email

I'm trying to get a PO emailed to the user who created the PO based on purchasing group. I configured output determination so that a message is correctly getting generated -- in MN05 I've got the purchasing group tied to the VU (user responsible) partner function which specifies the SAP User.
My issue is that the PO is using the vendor (VN) partner function to pull in the vendor address which needs to appear on the PO form. So the system is always looking to the vendor's email for the output instead of my output determination message. Is there any way to disable this yet still use the vendor address for the PO form?
Note that everything is configured properly and I am receiving PO email based on the email in the vendor master. I'm trying to do the same using output determination instead.
Thanks, Vlad

Hi,
1.) got to transaction NACT, Select the Output type; say NEU, and then Select the Partner Function. You can change it as per your requirement for Ordering address, Vendor, Delivering plant.
2.) Yes you can use Vendor's address in the PO Form. For that you would need assistance from ABAP.
