how to get bill-to address into partner details (SC and PO)

[Former Member]

We have upgraded from SRM 4 to SRM 7 (sandbox only at present). I am trying to get the invoice address details into the Shopping cart using the new Partner determination functionality but don't understand how it should work.

This is what I'm doing:

1. Check in the IMG point Define Partner Functions. Here I can see the SAP standard partner function 00000028 Invoice Recipient.

2. Go to the IMG point Define Partner Schema. I create a new schema and try to add entries to it. However, I cannot add the Invoice Recipient partner function, the only entries I can add are 00000701 and 00000711 (with no description) from point 1.

I had hoped that I would be able to add Invoice Recipient to my own schema and assign that to the Shopping cart.

When I create a cart and check the partners I automatically get 00000016 Requisitioner, 00000019 vendor (if vendor assigned), 00000020 Goods Recipient and 00000027 Ship-to address.

Does anyone know where the system decides that these are mandatory partner functions and would it be possible for me to add 00000028 there?

Best regards,

OK, I see now, thanks. Sorry for missing that.

So if I create a new partner function, assign it to a schema and then assign it to the PO (from the same IMG documentation it looks like it isn't possible to assign to the shopping cart), document type ECPO how do I then fill the function, e.g. I want to automatically copy the Requisitioner's Invoice recipient address (attribute ID ADDR_BILLT) from the Org. Structure.

Is there a BADI to do that?

For this, you can implement BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.

Thanks for the reply. I know how to assign the schema to the cart, the problem is I can't add the partner functions I want to the schema, they're not selectable for some reason.

If you read the documentation for "Define Partner Schema" -

Requirements

You have defined the partner functions that you require for the partner schemas by working through the IMG activity Define Partner Functions. In a given partner schema, you may use only partner functions that you yourself have defined.

You can not create a partner schema that contains standard partner functions.

You would have to assign the new partner schema to your shopping cart transaction type in IMG through "Defind Transaction Type" node.
