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.

Output determination for partner function in PO
Hi MM Gurus.....
<b>How to determine the out put type for a freight vendor in PO ?</b>
Business scenario : We have a regular vendor from whom we procure material. Also we have different freight vendor which we maintain in condition type for freight.
Now , I want two different output types to be generated for these two different vendor ?
I tried using partner functions, maintained condition records for both vendor with different condition type ..but , system determines the output for only regular vendor and not for freight vendor.
Can anyone please help me resolve this issue ?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Vidyadhar.Dear Vidhadhar,
OUTPUT DETERMINATION:
Output is a form of media from business to one of its business partners. The output can be sent to any of the partners defined in the document. Outputs are usually in the form of Order Confirmations, Freight List, Delivery Notes, Invoices & Shipping Notifications. Determining form of output is output determination
Types of Output: Print Output, Fax, Telex, E-Mail & EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
PRINT OUTPUT:
SPRO- IMG- Basic Functions- Output Control- Output Determination- Output Det using Cond Tech- Output Det for Sales Documents & output det for billing documents.
Create Condition Table: select the field Sales Doc Type from field catalog & Save
Maintain Access Sequence: 4-digits code & description. Assign condition table to access sequence. Select Accesses line item and Go To Fields. Fields will display the fields we have selected in the condition table.
Give the same 4-digit code as given to acc seq to output type.
You Can Maintain:
Languages of Output
Partners (to whom we want to send output)
Print Program- print specification
Sap Script- layout
Assign Output Types to Partner Functions: go to new entries & assign your output type to partner functions.
Maintain Output Determination Procedure: Go to new entries & create your own 6-digit code with descp. Select the procedure & go to Control Data. Here mention the output type i.e. cond type & leave requirement and manual only columns as blank.
Determination Rule: link the 6-digit procedure code to doc types.
Create Condition Records: Select document type and click on Communication. Mention partner function, medium, time. Output device: LP01, Spool request Name, Suffix 2: order_confir & flag on print immediately.
Once you press enter you will come across 2 key combinations:
During output determination, the system determines the recipient of the output from the master record for the specified partner function. In this field, you can explicitly specify a recipient that will override the standard partner. There must also be a master record for the partner that is specified explicitly.
Medium, Time & Language.
Order Type: Document Type, Partner Function (abbreviation), Partner, Medium, Time & Language.
Reward points if this is helpful.

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.

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. -

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.

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.
RegardsHi,
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 JajuHi 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?

Output Determination For Posted Invoice
When an invoice is posted against a purchase order I need the system to create an IDOC for external transmission.
I already have a partner profile setup for the external party (vendor). How do I go about setting up the output determination?
Thanks - points will be rewarded.Hello, Brian
To setup the Output determination for Invoice Verification, follow the steps:
You can configure these settings through t.code: NACE
or NACT
By specifying the Application: MR (this is for INVOICE)
Select -> Application MR -> Press Output types
then -> Select your Output type
(choose LIEF, if Output is for External Vendor).
-> goto Details
then
-> choose the relevent fields in Default values Tab (i.e, mainly Dispatch TimeTransmission medium Ex: 5-External send and 6-EDI similarly Partner function Ex: VN-Vendor,etc )
then
-> Processing routines
-> Partner functions
Suggestion: You can use NACE or NACT (either)
Hope this will clarifies you,

Output determination for ordering address
Hi
In our business, more than one ordering address might be available for the same vendor. Therefore, we need to send Purchase Orders to different Ordering Address for the same vendor.Kindly help how to maintian the output determination for this.
-PrabuHi Prabhu
Output determination
What is output?
Output is communication. When we create a transaction in sales & distribution, and save the transaction we may have to communicate to the concerned business partner about the transaction.
Example;
Customer--Purchase Order-VA01 (Create sales Order)- save the sales order- send the order confirmation to the customer
Here the output is Order confirmation
This output is sent to business partner-Customer-Sold to Party
Other Examples: Quotation, Invoice, Delivery note, Packing List
Output determination happens through Condition Technique.
Condition records are very important here. And these records contain answers to following questions.
a) What is the Output Type? Order confirmation or Invoice etc
b) Who is the recipient? A Sold-to-party or Payer etc.
c) What is the media? Take print out and send, or as email? Or Fax? Or EDI (Electronic data Interchange)
d) When output to be processed? Immediately when the transaction saved or scheduled to happen at particular Time etc
e) In which language the output to be prepared

SAP provides standard Output types for sales, shipping, transportation and billing
Sales:

Each of this condition type has Repository data called Routines
a) Program---Program that reads data from tables (VBAK / many tables storing data pertaining header etc)
b) Form routineProgram used for creating layout
c) Form---Layout
The Output type has an Access sequence

Maintain Output Types:BA00: Order Confirmation Select BA00 & Copy & Rename. Give the same 4-digit code as given to access sequence. You Can Maintain: Languages of Output Partners (to whom you need to send output) Print Program- print specification Sap Script- layout Assign Output Types to Partner Functions: go to new entries & assign your output type to partner functions. Maintain Output Determination Procedure: V10000 (Standard Procedure)here you select communication medium Email.
Go to new entries and create your own 6-digit code with description. Select the procedure, go to Control Data. Here mention the output type i.e. condition type and leave requirement and manual only columns as blank. Determination Rule: link the 6-digit procedure code to doc types.

It contains: Sales Orgnisation, Customer, Partner Function (The abbreviated form of the name that identifies the Partner) (During output determination, the system determines the recipient of the output from the master record for the specified partner function. In this field, you can explicitly specify a recipient that will override the standard partner.
