Hi Gurus,
I am new at SAP-SD, I have been studying partner determination, I understood the partner determination and partner function relationship, and also the assignment to the sales document, what I don't see is the relationship between the Partner determination procedure and the customer master data, is suppose to be the assignment of the partner determination procedure and the account group but I don't see the connection. For example if I go to the customer master, sales area button, Partner function tab, for some customers I can include some partner functions, in some other customers I can include some other partner functions depending on the partner determination procedure, as I said before I want to know how is the connection between partner function determination and the customer master data.
Thanks
HI,
As u said:
1. You understood the partner determination and partner function relationship, and also the assignment to the sales document,
---> That is Partner determination will have the respected Partner functions and the Sales doc type will be assigned to the Partner Det proc containing those Partner functions.
2. You want to know how is the connection between PartnerFunction determination and the customer master data.
---> Suppose there is a Customer XYZ created with Account Group u2018Sold-Tou2019.
Now,
1.A set of Partner functions are assigned to a particular Partner determination proc
2. The Partner determination proc will be assigned to the Account group.
Your question is answered thru the following assignment:
(Account group assignment with the Partner function), different customers created with its respected Account groups will have respected Partner functions depending on the assignment.

Hi Rianka,
thanks for going to my point, the account group is assigned to the customer when the customer is created, I didn't see this obvious link, just to close this threat, where can I see the group account after a customer is created, I checked all the tabs in customer master data but I couldn't find it.
Thanks

The link is present in partner determination. There is a step on the left pane "Partner determination procedure assignment". Here is the place where we assign the PDProc to customer account group.
During partner determination, we assign partner functions to PDproc and account group respectively. If we do in the following order, you can understand it clearly. IMG path: SD>Basic functions> Partner determination > Set up partner determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master
1. Partner functions
2. Account group - function assignment
3. Partner determination procedures > Partner functions in procedure
4. Partner determination procedure assignment

Hi Antonio
One customer can have a different roles, depends upon the roles and responsibilities of the customer partner functions are defined.
If his role is sold to party he is the one who actually order the goods
To each partner function determined what is the role of customer whether he is SP, SH, BP, PY or he could be alone SH, BP, or alone he could be a SH depends upon the partner functions determined that particular u201Caccount groupu201D the system will determine the partner function.
So we have to assign what are partner functions allowed for the particular account group
In partner determination procedure
u201CAccount groups u2013 Function assignmentu201D save it
Example:
SP-Z001
SH-Z001
BP-Z001
PY-Z001
This is just partner function assignment to account group now go to u201CPartner determination procedure assignmentu201D
Here assign procedure to account group
Example: account group (z001) u2013partner determination procedure (AG-sold to party)
If you click on partner function in procedure below step of partner determination procedure different partner functions allowed for the partner determination procedure
In that two check boxes represents
u201CNot modifiableu201D-After entry partner can no longer be changed in document
Here u201CSPu201D can no longer be changed but others can be changed
And select u201Cmandatoryu201D partner functions required
Save it, this will complete the partner determination procedure for customer master.
Possible errors:
With out customer number in against partner function in sales area tab you want to save the customer It will through error message the u201CData is incompleteu201D
Suppose if you enter any number in number coloum in partner function section in sales area tab again it will through error message that
u201CCustomer xxxx is not defined for function SP Table (TPAKD)u201D
revert back if you have any query

Krishna.

Hi Team,
I am new to SAP SD, going for a course and yet to complete it. I just tried to do some dummy implementation from my home. I followed the same procedure what you people advised in the above. But I still can't get the Parter Function automatically.
I created Account Group--> Assigned Number Ranges and Linked the number ranges to Account Group. and created Partner Function. But when I'm trying to create Customer Master Data in XD01, I still can't find Partner Function.
The same way only I followed in my centre, I didn't face any issue there.
So pls help me to get through it as I struck up for long time and unable to proceed further.
Thanks for your advise in Advance
Regards
Mohan.S
