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

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,

What is the need of creating New order type in PO

Dear Experts,
I have a doubt in MM, what is the need of creating New Order Types? Please explain with Business scenario. Thanking you,
Regards,
Elangovan.A

Hi Elangovan
Whenever you have a doubt like this...
--- just verify the config settings for your parameter (order type here).
---Also check whether authorizations can be given for this ?
---Do you need it for specific analysis ? Are there standard reports/listings available ?
So, some of the uses of order type are:
1) What are the parameters controlled by order type ?
It controls the number ranges and screen layouts etc. So, if you want to have different set of number ranges and different screen settings, then you may need a new order type.
2) Authorizations can be controlled with order type.
3) You can also use it in analysis/listings
Best regards

A manufacturer part profile contains indicators and control parameters, which define the conditions for using (inventory-managed or non-inventory-managed) manufacturer parts in the procurement process.
The manufacturer part profile specifies how manufacturer parts (MPN materials) can be used in the procurement process.
The manufacturer part profile is assigned to the master record for a firm's own inventory-managed material.
Among other things, it determines whether:
u2022     The MPN material or the inventory-managed material is to be entered in a purchase order
u2022     Info records can be created for the MPN material or the firm's own material
u2022     The MPN material can be changed during the procurement process

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.

Partner determination for sales document item

Hi people
We have a partner function in sales order (carrier) that must be determinate by item, this is necessary because we sell different materias in the same order that can't be transported by the same carrier.
In customizing Partner Determination for Sales Document Header is possible to use an user exit assign the origin X, Y or Z, in this case I would use the exit EXIT_SAPLV09A_003, but for partner determination for sales document item i didn't find a way to assign the origin X, Y and Z
Does anyone have an idea for solving this?
Thanks
Emerson

Whatever Partner functions are assigned to the Procedure assigned to the Sales document Type, only those partner functions will feature in the Sales document header.
In the procedure assigned to the Item category you will find like that 3 only only as in the Sales order you can not have different Sold-to-party for different Item.
Whichever Sold-to-party is there in the header that is applicable to all item. So at item level Procedure
sold-to-party partner function is not required to assign.
Sold-to-party is unique for a Sales order and can not be changed.
But at Item level, you can have different Ship-to-party for different items so the partner function has to be there and to deliver the item one SH is mandatory, that is why it has been marked mandatory in the Procedure.
All the partner function assigned to the Procedure at header level will be copied to all item. In your procedure for the header you must be having 5 partner functions.
You can change the SH at item level for few items.

What is the use of Source Partner function

Dear Experts,
Can you please explain me the exact use of Source Partner Function in Partner Functions in procedures in Customizing.
Is it used to propose only sold to party partner function or any partner function from the master data of particular partner function.
I read SAP standard help but I got confused because of its example. It is as below.
Source partner function
Partner function which serves as an alternative source for determining the sold-to party.
Procedure
If you don't want the system to propose a partner from the sold-to party master record, enter another partner function here. The system will then propose the sold-to party from the master record of your partner function.
Example
If you enter WE (ship-to party) in this field for the function VE (sales employee), when you create the sales document, it determines the sold-to party from the VE partner function in the ship-to party's master document.
kindly reply. thanks in advance
sagar wagh

Dear Sagar,
While determining the partner functions you can define that particular partner should be determined from the source partner functions master data.
For example you want to determine the Freight forwarder and you want to make sure that this partner function should be proposed as per the ship to party then in customizing for freight forwarder partner function you will maintain the source as ship to party. Due to this customization when you will be creating the sales order for sold to party x and assume that for x you are having two different ship to party at two distinct locations. For these two locations you have different freight forwarder providing the services(one for each location). So to determine the right freight forwarder the above mentioned customizing will be required. Otherwise system will propose this partner function as per sold to and that will be same for all ship to.
Hope this example will help you to understand the usage of source in partner determination.
Thanks and regards,
Atul

How to create outbound IDOC for Accounting document type RV

Hello All,
We have a requirement to create a downpayment request for a customer. We have copied the FAZ billing type and created a ZFAZ. For this the accounting document type generated is RV. This RV is a statistical document and does not contain any debits and credit entries. It is just to inform the customer to pay. We have to generate an IDOC for the same. I have configured FIDCC1 standard FI message type for this in ALE. But it does not seem to work.
Does anyone have any inputs on this ? May be RV does not use the message type FIDCC1 ? Anything in relation to RV or downpaymnts, please let me know..
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks
SH.

Hello Alpesh,
I tried adding breakpoints to the following userexits and many other places where they occur..but while creating billing doc FAZ nor while generating accounting document RV they were triggered.
I have created a distribution model and created the partner profile with outbound for basic type INVOIC02 for message type INVOIC . What do you say?
Just a note that this is an outbound process and i cannot use process codes.
- EXIT_SAPLVEDF_001 User_Exit controll data IDoc_Output_Invoic
- EXIT_SAPLVEDF_002 User_Exit customer enhancement of segments outbound invoice

What are the benefits/limitations in using iPad for sales people?

I've been wanting to know if I could use the iPad to do my sales job instead of having to carry around a Windows laptop. I would obviously still have the laptop and prob would create Powerpoint presentations, Word and Excel docs, but the main use would be Powerpoint and web.
Anyone have any real experience they can share?
Thanks!!

I've used it to display my photographic skills. I've found that it's much less "intrusive" on the potential client.

How to include a new Z Partner Function in Sales order header drop down lis

Hello SAP experts,
We have come up with a new requirement to include a custom Partner Function-ZI in dropdown of SO header-Partners field.
Current scenario- Presently we are maintaining this partner function ( Say ZI- Institute ) in customer master data-Sales area tab.There could be more than one partners under this PF in master data. While entering sales Order, all partners associated are displayed in Header- partners tab, where only SP, SH, BP, PY partner functions are displayed.
Requirement- 1. Is to provide Drop down of this ZI-Institute partner function (which I did not find presently) in SO header-partners field and user should be able to provide one of partner function as available in Customer master ( as there are more than one partners that can be set in Customer master data but user need to be able to provide ONE of this ZI partner fucntion in DROPDOWN of PF tab in SO header ).
2. In addition, How can I link this new partner function in related sales reports against that particulat order and invoice?
Kindly suggest your valuable inputs as what should be the procedure to get this.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Go to partner determination by VOPA
OR
IMG >> SD >> Basic function >> Set up partner functions >> set up partner function for sales document header
click on partner function and Maintain partner function ZI and back
Then select your existing partner determination procedure (Standard is TA) and click on PARTNER FUNCTIONS IN PROCEDURE and add partner function. and make it mandatory so even user forget to mention then at the time of saving system can remind user
Then double click on PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE ASSIGNMENT
Assign partner procedure to sales document
Now when you creating sales order go to header partner tab and enter you institute partner number
For sales order and invoice report
Execute this report by selecting partner function ZI in VA05N and VF05 respectively

Order Partner Functions for VENDORs

Hi All,
We are using CRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0. We successfully replicated all the VENDORs from ECC to CRM BPs with BBP000-VENDOR role as this features is supported from CRM 5.0.
We are now trying to get the VENDOR Partner functions replicate from ECC sales order to the Partner Functions for the CRM ORDERS. Looks like SAP doesn't support this feature yet. I am getting the Partner Functions (say Z1 - Freight Carrier ) but the partner data is BLANK. So i am working on a workaround.
My Issue I am using ORDER_SAVE BADI to enter a BP from CRM to this Partner Function that is coming empty to CRM. For some reason my code is not working. Below is my code

Hi ROshan,
Open customer master in XD02 sales view and save it then check in XD03 it should display the partner functions.
