Some items doesnt get copied with header partner

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a issue with an order, where when teh order header partners are redetermined, (ship to), some of the items on the order doesnt get copied with the new ship to.

There is a check box at the item partner screen which is been ticked only for the items where thsi change doesnt take place.

It indicates that 'Partner valid at item level, if this indicator has been activated, the partner is valid at item level.'.

Could someone please advice the reason as to whta the check box means as well as the reason as to why the header partner doesnt get copied to the line item partner.

Thanks,

Keshini

Hi,

Read OSS Note 550073 - FAQ: SD Partner Determination I, points 1 and 2.

The description from the note is,

1. Question: Why is a new partner determination not executed when I change the partner ?

Answer: The partner determination always runs when you create a document. Then dependent partners are automatically determined and checked. If in the existing document you change a partner, the system does not run a redetermination of the partners (except when the sold-to party is changed). This works as designed and possible dependent partners are not redetermined.

2. Question: Does the partner determination take place on item level ?

Answer: An item partner determination is not provided in the standard system. You can enter item partners manually. Here, in Customizing of the item partners you can specify which partner functions should be allowed on item level and which not. The header partner functions are always allowed on item level. On item level, if you enter a partner, it is visualized by the item partner flag. For an item partner you can change the address data, header partner addresses cannot be changed on item level. The logic of the item partners is: If for an item there is no partner, the header partners are displayed. If as described above you enter a partner on item level, this partner exists on item level. If for a partner you enter an address differing from the header but the partner should stay the same, you can just enter the partner again manually for the respective item. Thus the partner becomes an item partner and the address can be changed.
