Dear Friend,

To create a new Partner Function follow this:

IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Partner Determination - Set Up Partner Determination - Select the required Activity where you want new Partner Function (i.e. Customer Master / Sales Doc Header / Sales Doc Item / Etc...)

on the left had side you have a option - Partner Funtions in Proecedure - Click on New Entries & create new Patner Funtions...

Hope this helps...

Give points if Useful...

Thanks,

Hi

Tang

Use Tcode VOPA

Partner function

Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and a description for a partner function.

Partner type

The partner type is an indicator which informs you of the type of partner, for example, partner type customer "KU".

Currently, you cannot change the partner types in customizing. You canonly select the partner types that are included in the standard SAP R/3 System.

Error group

Using the error group, you assign an incompletion procedure to a partner function (see section "Incompletion log").

Higher-level function

For a partner function, you can specify the higher-level partner

function. In this way, you can portray an existing dependency between the partner functions.

Unique in customer master record

If you characterize a partner function as unique, you can specify it only once in the customer master record.

The sold-to party has to be unique in the customer master record whereas you may specify several contact persons.

Customer hierarchy type

In this field you can specify whether a partner function can be used for a customer hierarchy. Enter the customer hierarchy type permitted

for the partner function. Refer to the section "Define hierarchy types

and assign to account groups".

Convert functions

If you work with several languages in the sales and distribution

system, you can carry out a language-dependent function conversion.

This means you can display the internal key definition, for example, AG, WE, and so on, differently on the screen depending on the logon language of the user. For example, you can display the key CU as AG when logged on in German. (The conversion is necessary because the partner functions such as AG, WE are partially hardcoded in the programs.)

Thx.
