Missing partner in Shipment

[Former Member]

Hello

There are few shipments in which Partner field is blank under Partner tab in the shipment. (this remains a mystery). Due to this while creating a shipment cost document using tcode V101, there is an error Missing Service agent in shipment. I have 2 questions:

1) Is it possible to update this field now? I could not locate any table where this sits and I guess this gets updated in the structure -

---

not sure???

2) How can we bypass this std. SAP check for creating the shipment cost documents, currently there are 36 such shipments but we fear there could be many more and manual vendor payment does sound too feasible.

Thanks.

Regards,

Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,

Kinldy check the partner fuctions in the deivery and the route.Partenr functions should flow from Delivery to Shipment docs.

Also check if any table is getting updated for default FF (partners ), if yes , its mandotory to maintain default partners in this table.

Yes, you can update partenrs in shipment then you can create shipment cost doc.

Hope the ans will help you.

Hi San,

Thanks for your reply.

Well the partner in question is the service/fwd agent in this case, i am not sure if they hv a role in outbound delivery, if so can u tell me the table/field.

These shipments in question have service/fwd agent in header but missed to auto-populate under Partner tab, this does not sit in any table but updates runtime in the structure SDPARTNERLIST.

While trying to enter them manually now it shows error VPD032-Partner cannot be processed online.

Hope this clarifies.

Dinesh,

I would suggest you to check the followings:

1> Route set up

2> shipment type

a) partenr det procedure assigned to shipment type

b) copy routine maintained in the shipment type

3> Vendot master should be maintained in the system

4> Partner det for shipments

Std way is that information will get copied in the shipment doucment from delivery note.

Hope this will help to resolve your issue.

SAN
