Note for the Partner Object - Sales Document (Header)
 
When you define the determination procedure for the partner object 'Sales Document (Header)', you can make the following additional entries for the partner function:
 
Source:
Under this heading you can control two origin characteristics:
 
- Source partner function
In this field you can specify that a partner should be determined directly using a partner entered in the sold-to party. If you enter, for example, the source "WE" for the partner function "SP", you can then specify that the forwarding agent is determined from the ship-to party, and not from the
sold-to party.
 
- Table of origin
In this field, you can specify from which table the partner with this particular partner function is determined. In the standard version, this field is blank, and the partner is determined from the customer master table. If you want the partner for this partner function to be determined from the table of credit representatives, you must enter "A". If you want to determine the partner from the customer hierarchy table, enter "B". In the latter case, the partner function must also have been assigned to a hierarchy type.
 
Sequence:
Entries in this field allow you to control the sequence in which partners are determined in the sales document. First, all partner functions are determined that have the ranking order zero, then those with ranking order 1, 2, and so on.
 
The relationship of partner object and assignment key is as follows:
 
- Partner Object Key
- Customer Account group
- Sales doc. header Sales document type
- Sales doc. item category - sales document
- Delivery header Delivery type
- Shipment header Shipment type
- Billing doc. header Billing document type
- Billing doc. item Billing document type
- Contract type
 
Steps:
 
1. Check the settings in the SAP standard version, to see whether you can use them as they stand, and to see if any changes are required.
 
2. Define your partner determination procedure.
 
3. Assign the partner determination procedures to the keys of the relevant partner object.
 
Assigning Partner Functions to the Account Groups
 
In Financial Accounting, debtors are controlled using account groups. You can assign your defined partner functions to these account groups. This means that the relevant debit-side partner function must only be used for customer masters that are assigned to these account groups. To do this, choose
 
Account Groups - Assign Functions
 
Example:
 
You can assign the partner function ship-to party but not the partner function sold-to party. A customer in this account group cannot take on the function of the sold-to party in the sales order.
 
Notes:
 
To access control of account groups, choose:
 
Logistics General -> Business Partner -> Customers -> Control
