Hi,

You specify the partner roles to be used in the vendor master record via schemas that you define and assign to account groups in Customizing for Purchasing.

Specify which partner roles you wish to use u2013 and which of them are mandatory roles u2013 in Customizing for Purchasing under Partner Determination ® Partner Roles ® Partner Settings in Vendor Master Record ® Define Partner Schemas. (At this point, select the Mandatory indicator where appropriate.)

Assign the partner schema to the relevant account group. Under Partner Determination ® Partner Settings in Vendor Master Record ® Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups, you can assign different partner schemas to account groups for the purchasing organization, plant, and vendor sub-range levels if necessary.

If you want the system to also search for partner roles at purchasing organization level, and not only at the more specific levels (i.e. plant/vendor or VSR/vendor), you must set the Higher level indicator in Customizing for Purchasing under Partner Determination ® Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents ® Define Partner Schemas ® Partner Roles in Schema.

There you can also specify whether the partner roles are to be determined at the beginning or at the end of the document entry process (End indicator).

If the plant is defined as default value, the system attempts to determine plant-specific partners in the case of partners determined at the start of the process.

Hi,

Nielsen ID :

In this menu option, you define the Nielsen IDs in which the customer's subsidiaries can be located.

You specify the Nielsen ID in the general data of the customer master record as part of the marketing information. This means that the allocation to a Nielsen ID is valid for all sales areas.

When processing a sales activity, you can display the Nielsen ID to which a customer belongs. To do this, call up customer master data as additional information in the sales activity.

Regards,

PM

When processing a sales activity, you can display the Nielsen ID to which a customer belongs. To do this, call up customer master data as additional information in the sales activity.

The SAP System does not copy the Nielsen ID into the sales and distribution documents.

1. Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and the description of the Nielsen IDs.

2. Make sure that the Nielsen IDs are entered in the customer master records.

Partner schemas

In this step, you define partner determination schemas.

Partner schemas allow you to group various partner roles. You can specify that certain roles in a schema are mandatory, i.e. cannot be changed after entry.

You have the option of defining different partner schemas at different data retention levels within the vendor master record.

For example, you can have a different ordering address at the more specific level "purchasing organization/vendor sub-range/plant" than at the more general level of the purchasing organization.

Thanks

In Partner Schema, we assign a set of partner functions

Hi,

The procedure for setting partner functions:

Step 1

Vendor Account Group

IMG->LOGISTICS GENERAL->BUSINESS PARTNER->VENDOR->CONTROL ->DEFINE

ACCOUNT GROUPS AND FIELD SELECTION

Step 2

Defining Partner Schemas

IMG->MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER -> DETERMINATION -

>PARNER SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD

->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMAS

Step 3

Assign Partner Schema

IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION->PARTNER

SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMA

u201E« THEN ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMA

Step 4

Define Permissible Partner Role Per Account Group

IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION -

>PARTNER ROLES ->DEFINE PERMISSION PARTNER ROLES

If you want a partner schema for your own document type then define your partner schema and assign to document type using the below mentioned path.

IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER ->DETERMINATION -

>PARTNER SETTINGS IN PURCHASING DOCUMENTS ->DEFINE PERMISSION

PARTNER SCHEMAS

And then

ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMAS TO DOCUMENT TYPE

Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups

In this step, you assign partner schemas to account groups.

Account group 0001 has the partners "vendor", "goods supplier", and "invoicing party". Account group 0002 has the same roles plus the roll of "different payee".

Thanks

Bhushan
