Partner at sales order header

[Former Member]

I have a requirement where a partner function is needed at sales order header level where sales order handler can assign any value. the partner function should allow any free value to be entered without any need to actually define a master record for the value to be entered in the partner function at sales order header level.

Please guide how can a new partner function be defined with this facility. Thanks !

Hi

Goto SPRO>SD>Basic functions>Partner determination>sales docuemnt header.

Define a new partner function.

Assign it to your partner determination procedure.

Don't make it as mandatory.

Assign that partner procedure to your sales order type.

now test it.

try and revert

Hi Yadav , thanks for your reply !

I already tried that , but when I enter a value it tries to validate and checks whether a customer master record exists for it !

This is what I don't want . I want to assign any free value for example 12AACC and there is no customer master existing for 12AACC.

Pls revert if you know some way to handle this situation . Thanks.

Hi

This is not possible to have free text at partners. the partner should be present in system as customer or HR data.

Alternative is to use text and manupulate the text through ABAP programs.
