partner determination procedure

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

can any one pls let me know that why in SAP we have so many types of partner determination procedures, like for

Customer Master

Sales Document Header

Sales Document Item

Delivery

Shipment

Billing Header

Billing Item

Sales Activities (CAS)

can any one pls let me know the difference in using them. say for example if we assigned this procedure to Delivery. i.e. when delivery documents will be created, than only we will be getting our partner functions, but what about during sales order creation time, from where these function will be used.

second thing pls let me clear the fact that all these SP,SH,BP and PY are mandatory partners functions or we can still create the order if we have only SP,BP and payer and not SH.

Wishes,

Abhishek

Dear Abhi,

Its better to maintain partner functions in : Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master.

Without ship-to-party (SH) you can create a sales order but i think we cant create a delivery.

This is good, but my concern are for all other variables. where we are using them? I mean on which scenarioes.

secondly, i am having doubts that you can create a order with out a SH. pls check.
