Partner vendor conctact person for projects

[Former Member]

Hi guys!

Iu2019m trying to create a vendor contact person for my project. I want to have a vendor and then I want a vendor contact person.

I started in t/code u201COPSPAR1u201D to define a partner roles, I create a partner role u201CVendoru201D and u201CVendor Contact Personu201D with type of partner u201CLI Vendoru201D resp. u201CAP Contact Personsu201D then I create a Partner schema for WBS in t/code u201COPSPAR3u201D, as far as good.

In the project it seems to be good but when I will choose a contact person it turns to be contact person for customers not for vendors!?

I think both customer and vendors use the same function, but think I should choose if I want a customer or vendors contact person t/code u201COPSPAR1u201D but there is not that kind of partner type only one call u201CAP Contact Personsu201D.

Do you know if the purpose of this function is right or is a bug? Do you have any idea how to use it? Maybe itu2019s meant to be use this way?

AP partner type should suffice for both customers and vendors. Please assign with vendor contact person in vendor master and try.

Hi,

Yes the contact person can be registred there but still shows up the search screen for customer in the project not the vendors as I whish.

Thank you for your answer.

This is the response I got from SAP:

this is standardbehaviour.

When you select as role "contact person" and call the F4-help for

the field "partner", the system opens the search help for customer.

This systembehaviour is hard-coded.

You have to use the "name"-field instead. When you set the name,

only the contact person number is hidden.

This systemehaviour is standard and has also been confirmed by

development.
