Dear Prasanna,

Every customer and vendor is identified with a unique code or number which is the general practise.Once you have placed

partner function in the partner determination procedure for the vendor i think it is enough.You can add more than one SH,BP,PY and in your case you can add manually more than one vendor in ths customer master.

I hope it works for you.

Regards,

Ramesh.

Dear Prasanna,

In the partner determination, select your partner determination procedure under which you have added your vendor and check where Not modifiable check box is checked, if that field is checked, it may not allow you to add more than one partner function.

Dear !!!

i have checked the possibility in System and according to my knowledge you can add two vendors in customer master partner functions but when you create Sales order system automatically copy only one vendor in Sales order partner functions. when you try to add manually another system will not allow you.

How to add two vendors in Customer master is described below.

There is a tick in partner functions in your partner function procedure.

Go to

Sales and Distribution > Master Data > Business Partners > Customers > Customer Hierarchy > Set partner determination for hierarchy categories > Set up partner determination for customer master

Select your partner determination procedure and click on partner functions in left box. Here must be vendor partner and there is a tick indicating the Uniqueness in the master data. click this tick and enter two vendors in one customer master functions.

Yes it is possible in standard but for this you have to add 2 different partner functions for vendor in your partner function procedure. Try this

Hello

As per standard we cannot put multiple value in the same partner function under one Sales Order, either at header level or item level.

But we can put different value under one partner function for each item line.

So say, if you have 3 item line in Sales Order, you can put 3 different value of LF partner function for each of line item.

But in header level partner tab, LF partner function will be blank.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for Reply Mr.J Prakash.

According to my client requirement its should in header level because all vendors r applicable to all materials

So we can't maintain one vendor for one line item and another vendor for another line item

Based on the Total price system has to calculate in header level only because here vedors are fixed for each customer

and we have to maintain the condition record with combination of customer / material / Vendor

system automatically picks condition record

how to map into sap and how to solve that issue
