STO Partner Copy Control to Outbound Delivery Document (NL)

[Former Member]

Hi -

Partner Schema CR for 0003 UB Type has been maintained in configuration, which allows CR (Freight Forwarder) partner function to be manually added to UB Document Types (Partner Determination Process u2013 0003 Stock Transfr PurOrd).

However, even with this configuration the CR partner does not copy to the Outbound Delivery Document.

After some analysis, I found the following:

In program SAPLMEPO (MM06EF0P_PARTNERS) FORM PARTNERS in line 97 u201Ccheck EKKO-BSAKZ equal to spaceu201D; if purchase orders have EKKO-BSAKZ = 'T' then never determine partners. I have checked the EKKO table for field BSAKZ and all STOu2019s have a T in that field. If the code is looking for <blank> in order to apply the partner it looks like the program will not attempt to retrieve the Partner Functions with BSAKZ = T.

All other partners are getting copied to the outbound Delivery, such as PI (Invoicing Party), DP (Delivering Plant), SH (Ship-To)etc.

Is there a way to have Freight Forwarder partner copy control to Outbound Delivery document at time of Delivery create from either Vendor Master or Customer Master for STO (UB Purchase Order type) / Delivery type NL?

Thank you,

Karen

remark: for me the check is in line 113 (SAPKH60407).

Please read OSS note 842829:

2. The system does not transfer the partner data from the STO to the replenishment delivery. This particularly applies to the forwarding agent. The replenishment delivery uses only the customer of the receiving plant (EKPO-WERKS) as a partner. In the replenishment delivery, this customer (EKPV-KUNNR) is the direct goods recipient. The customer is not the sold-to party or a general debtor, for whom the system would determine a (different) goods recipient using the customer master in the replenishment delivery. If the PO header contains a vendor, you can use a modification to transfer the vendor as a partner to the replenishment delivery, if required. However, this is not the standard system behavior. There is no known modification for transferring the forwarding agent.

Thank you for the quick response. It seems unfortunately there is no solution for getting the Freight Forwarder to STO Delivery without some enhancement from our side.

We have a requirement for STO moving cross-borders via freight forwarder & need to get the proper partner to the delivery document for shipping correctly, else ships direct & causes issues for the business.

Might you have any recommendations or shall we simply look after developing a custom enhancement for this issue?
