Partner functions in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi SDNs,

There is a client requirement which is related partners in the sales order

While creating the sales order users enter the ship to party number instead of enter sold to party so in that time system will give error message like "The soldto partner screen should be updated first" . In Standard SAP allows a user to pick a ship to that is unrelated to the sold-to while creating the sales order.Pleae advice.

Please suggest how i can give logic and please provide if there is any function module or logic.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi,

The root cause is for different partner function which has different account group of cusotmer master data, that's mean, if the customer with account group -- ship to party, then you can not use is as sold to party in the sales order! You must select the customer with account group -- sold to party for the relevant partner function.

In other words, if you want the customer to be sold-to as well ship-to in sales order, you have to set customer accout group as sold-to party! That's it!

Good luck

Hi ,

Goto "VOPA' and see how the partner determination procedure has been maintained for the sales order header. Check If the SP is mandatory in the sales order. Check the how the customer partner procedure has been configured. See what are the differences between both. Normally this warning/erro message gets triggered using a user exit. Kindly please let me know If you need any more Information on this.

hello, friend.

in the partner functions for the document header (and item as an option). go to partner function SH and specify that it should be determined from the customer master. the result is that if the ship-to has not been maintained as part of the customer master, then it will not be accepted in the sales order.

go to IMG > SD > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set up Partner determination > Document Header. Look for the sub-node Parnter Functions.

regards.
