Partner function

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I wish to confirm on the following understanding is correct:

1. 1 account group : 1 Partner procedure and vice versa

2. Master data for Partner Type PE Personnel number is different from master data for Partner

Type VE sales employees.

But what is the difference between these 2 master data? Is it one is for employees in general and the other for Sales employees?

hi,

this is to inform you that,

1. exactly you are right - in partner procedure there will be list of partners with NOT MODIFIABLE & MANDATORY to appear in CMR.

2. both are different partner types with its own relevance and importance. But the basic difference between these two are:

PE with partner type PE (sales employeein ENGLISH LANGUAGE) as well as VE (in DE language).

The standard system contains the functions credit representative (KB) and credit manager ( KM) for credit processing.

Both partner functions are allocated to partner type "PE".

hope this clears your issue

Hi Gurus,

To finalise, can i say that :

1. Each Partner Function has a respective set of master data defined at Account Group level where each Partner Function has a uniquely assigned Account group to it.

Or

2. Partner functions , eg. KB and KM , both are of Partner type PE. So, Master data is based on Partner Type level and this set of master data is shared between any Partner function, eg. KM and KB, that are based on the same Partner Type, PE.

So, only 1 set of master data for both partner functions need to be defined in order to be assigned in the partner function tab.

Or is it that a set of master data is defined for each Partner function of the same partner type where each partner function is uniquely assigned to 1 account group?

Hi,

1. For every Account group (0001) we can assign only one Partner Determination Procedure (AG). But, we can assign one Partner Function (AG) to many Account Group (0001, 0002, 0003 u2026 etc).

2. Sales Employee SE is a partner function that can be assigned to the customer master. The Sales Employee SE comes under Partner type PE (Personnel Number). The personal number is a HR object; it is assigned in customer master under partner function SE.

Dear Bharathi,

"1. For every Account group (0001) we can assign only one Partner Determination Procedure (AG). But, we can assign one Partner Function (AG) to many Account Group (0001, 0002, 0003 u2026 etc)."

Did you mean to say that 1 Account Group : 1 Partner Procedure but the reverse is not true where

1 Partner Procedure : n Account groups or is it

1 Partner Function : n Account groups

Thanks.

Dear M,

Basic concept is as under :--

Partner determination procedure:

We create a procedure to determine partners

Partner functions in procedure:

Here we assign specifically which partner functions are to be determined by above procedure.

Partner determination procedure assignment:

Here we assign the partner determination procedure to a specific account group for which we require the determination.

Account group function assignment:

Here we specify by which account group we can create master data for that particular partner function (Ex. Ship to party ,payer etc..)

Hi Gurus,

To close this thread, I like to confirm that

If there are 2 Partner functions of the same partner type, 2 sets of master data is required unless the 2 partner functions belong to the same Account group.

Cheers!
