Partner Determination for Billing Item

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have the following doubts regarding Partner Determination on Billing document at item level.

Our Billing type F2 is assigned to the Partner determination procedure FP.

Partner determination procedure FP has been assigned to the Partner Functions Sales representative (PE) (Marked as Not Modifiable) and Ship-to party (SH) Marked as Not Modifiable & Mandatory Function). So it has only two Partner Functions.

But when I see the F2 Invoice in the item level partners tab, I could see Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Bill-to party and Payer.

How does the system picks all the Partner Functions when it is maked for Ship-to party (SH) and Sales representative (PE)?

Could someone please explain me?

Regards,

Hi,

Basic methods through which you can have this is that Partners are determined at Header and Item Level through Partner Procedure which is FP for the Billing Header as what you have pointed out.

Header are tied to Document Type - Sales Order / Delivery / Billing : 

Item are tied to Item Category - Order / Delivery. For the item, it can be done directly or through Copy Controls or a combination of both:

I] DIRECTLY: Billing Item Partner Determination Directly ;

II] COPY CONTROLS:

A) Partner Data Transfer - Copy Control from Delivery Items > Billing Items

B) Partner Data Transfer - Copy Control from Order Items > Billing Items

with the same logic of: Marked as Not Modifiable / Not Modifiable & Mandatory Function.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi,

The partner functions should be assigned to the Billing Item Category.
