Partner Functions in SRM 4.0

[Former Member]

Hello All

Is it Possible to have Partner functions implemented in SRM 4.0 ( EBP 5.0).

We are using Extended classic scenario.

Currently The Invoicing Parties are not being Replicated to SRM.

When the Vendor presents invoice, the Remit to Address is usually different.

So the A/P processor has to search with the address and Vendor Name,

to find the correct Invoicing Party.

Also Is there any change in ECC side, which can help the A/P processor to find the Invoicing Party with Ease.

Any configuration in ECC, which can make this happen?

You can maintain the partner function PI in ECC and replicate...

Or another option directly in SRM in BP choose the vendor and maintain the same in relationship.

Hello All

I went through a document by Kathirvel Balakrishnan posted in SDN articles, which provides step by step process

for setting up vendor defined partner functions in SRM 5.5.

I checked in our system that , some of the config steps mentioned in that document were not available.

For e.g. "Define Partner Schema' was missing in our system.

Hence we cannot carry out those settings.

Even if we could, the sourcing cockpit in SRM doesn't provide the functionality to change the PO details except for a few basic things like Vendor, Price etc.

I am looking for a definitive answer, whether partners can be implemented and sent thru SRM documents in extended classic scenario in SRM 4.0
