Partner GUID and partner function

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

In table BBP_PDVIEW_BUP,the field "partner_no" stands for Business partner GUID.Can somebody tell me what partner_guid field stands for?

What is the importance of 'partner function'?There are different numbers indicating partner functions--16,20 27 etc.Can some one explain what they indicate?

On what basis does the system allocate the partner function?

Many thanks

Hi,

In SRM,every entity is a Business partner..Be it your vendor..purchaser..org..etc..So GUID is a unique identifier for each which the system generates.

Hello Trey,

About partner functions (PARTNER_FCT) there is a lot of codes but I show You main of this:

14 = employee responsible

15 = contact person for CRM

16 = requester

17 = contact person for SRM

18 = bidder

19 = vendor

20 = ship-to party

27 = delivery point

All list of partner functions You can find in CRMC_PARTNER_FCT table.

PARTNER_GUID is GUID for an individual partner

PARTNER_NO is partner number. This guid can be used on table BUT000 field PARTNER_GUID.

BUT000 table is for Business Parner general data.
