Multiple Vendor Partners on Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hello Folks!

I was wondering if it's possible to add multiple invoicing parties (PI) on a purchase order. Essentially we want to create a PO for company ABC and add companies DEF, GHI, XYZ, etc. as invoicing partners. Thank you

Hi Victor,

You can have multiple invoicing partner function in the PO for that you need to have these multiple invoicing partner function in vendor master. Since partner functions are called from vendor master.

To have it in vendor master you need to define them in customization and assign them to account group to which the vendor belongs to.

Go to MM - Purchasing - Partner Determination - Partner Roles - Define Partner Roles - Here you define the Z partner function copying the standard invoicing party partner function and naming convention use that is allowed in the naming space.

You will get the message if you try to use different two digit character to use from allowed name space.

Once you create Z invoicing party partner function assign them in account group to which your vendor belongs to in Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group.

Once you assign them to account group, go to vendor master in change mode and maintain these Z partner functions for invoicing party.

Once you have it in vendor master, in PO you have option to maintain multiple invoicing party partner functions.

Thanks,

Go to tcode XK01 and select the 'Purchasing Organisation Data'.

Press Enter. Under the Tab ' Partner Functions' maintain respective Vendor Codes for
