Hi SAP (SD-GURUS),

Actually we create partner functions before creating customer ex: sold to party, ship to party, bill to party, and payer.

These partner functions are going to be copied into sales order while processing sales order.

Again what is the need of creating partner functions for sales document type.

Thanks&Regards

There are some Partners you could enter at Sales ORder Level. E.g. Sales Person, Employee Responsible, Forwarding Agent, Broker, etc.

Thus these partner Determination need to be carried out at Sales Order Level & not at Customer Master level.

So we have to configure partner Determination for various levels e.g. Customer Master, Sales Order, Delivery level etc...

Hope this helps...

THanks,

Sometimes you have comission agents as partners who you have to maintain only after the point of Sales you cannot decide at the Customer master level.

So SAP provides this functionality to Map partners after you have got the orders from the customer.

Hi,

You do not have to maintain seperate partner procedure for the sales order ,if you are ok with the customer master functions to be copied into sales orders from the customer master. But If you want any additional partner functions or mutiple entries for the same partner function, you may go for seperate partner determintaion procedure for the sales order n so on... .kindly please let me knoe If you need any more information on this.

Use of Partner function appropriately is important. In the case we are using standard Partner functuion it will work fine, but if we are creating a 'Z' Partner Function and required configuration is not complete, it will give an error in the transaction.
