Partner function mandatory for Item category

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Here is the requirement & current settings,

For consignment sales process ,we have 2 diff. item cat. , for both common partners are SH,SP,BP,PY.

For consgn. issue item category we ned retailer as mandatory partner.

created a new partner as retailer & asigned in the account grourp,

Created new partner procedure with ship to party & retailer as mandatory functions & asigned to cons. issue item category.

While creating consignment issue w.r.t consignment fill up, in the order the partner retailer has to be a mandatory function, but with current settings it is allowing to save the sales order.

is there any thing to be maintained,

your inputs will be appretiated.

In VOV7 WE CANNOT CHANGE IT.

CHANGE IT IN Sales and Distribution-BASIC FUNCTIONS Set Up Partner Determination-Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Item-PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE ASSIGNMENT.

THEN IT WILL REFLECT IN VOV7.

As said earlier,

In SD- BF - PD - it is maintained as Z for KEN, even though it in Issue order it is not asking for new partner & able to save the document.

Not sure why in VOV7 still showing as N

You can try this.

Go to IMG SD > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Item.

There create a new Partner Det.Procedure say Z, by copying standard N. Next click on Partner Functions in Procedure. Now, against this new Z procedure, you can see that special stock partner. Against that partner, select the box Mandatory.

Next click on Partner Determination Procedure Assignment and select Item Category KEN and assign Z.

Finally, assign this Z to your item category in VOV7

Now try the process and update the forum.

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the response,

I did all the steps suggested apart from the last,

In VOV7 the partner determination is N & its greyed out not able to change.

How do we change this?

And if we have to go for a new item category with Z partner determination ,what about the current orders any consequences?

[Lakshmipathi]

No even if you assign now in item category, it wont have any impact to your current consignment issue orders.

So better try to create a new item category and assign as suggested above and make a test document. If you are able to succeed in that, better you implement the new configuration by foreclosing all existing issue orders.

thanks

Tried copying standard KEN as ZKEN, by default it coming as N & not able to change.

Tried creating with new entries as ZKEN, partner detrmntn field as emprty & greyed.

Not sure why so,

Do User Exit as mentioned earlier is suggestable?

If yes need to know the condition to be maintained for partner function.

[Lakshmipathi]

As already suggested, you have to do this assignment for your new Z in "Partner Determination Procedure Assignment" and by doing so, in VOV7, you can see the change.

This should work for you but I never tested this.

thanks

Now Z is appearing in VOV7.

For Z, 2 partners SH & retailer are done as mandatory.

But in Consgn Issue S.O the system is not asking for the mandatory partners to be maintained.

Hi

To my knowledge, your requirment cannot be achieved through configurations. It is possible only through enhancement using an exit and during the creation of order, system should check the order type and if it is Consignment Issue order, it should check for the retailer partner function and if missing, system should throw an error message.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,

Can the below used,

USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in MV45AFZZ,

The logic to be for ITEM category is consign, issue, & not sure how to incoprorate partner details condition.
