Hi

Partner Function means vendoru2019s will act as a various business partners , they play a different role.depneding on business requirement such Goods supplier, invoice presenting another vendor so on.

The following partner roles are used in MM:

Vendor (LF)

Ordering address (BA)

If you define another partner for the partner role BA, a standard PO or release order will not be sent to the address of the vendor (role LF)

but to the ordering address of the partner.

Goods supplier (WL)

In the case of Intrastat:

If you define a partner from another member state of the EU for partner role WL, standard POs or release orders will be taken into account when Intrastat declarations are created.

In the case of a Return Delivery:

If you define another partner for the partner role WL, the address of the goods supplier will be determined for return deliveries in Inventory Management.

Invoicing party (RS)
