Partner function copy control for return order items

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a strange situation.

In a specific scenario, for sales and return documents we use some custom partner function at item level.

This  partner function is added manually at the sales order item level and after that copied to invoice and return order.

The problem is that for a specific item category (ZTAB) the custom partner function is not copied in the return order.

If I compare the copy control of the ZTAB item category with let say ZTAN item category, for which the partner function is copied, they look the same. Still for one of them the ZC partner function is copied and for the other it isn't.

Does someone have a solution for this?

Regards,

Daniela

Daniela,

1. The return orders created for both these item categories (ZTAN and ZTAB) have the same return sales document type and the same return item category?

The above question is very important to analyse the issue.

If the same return order type and item category are being used. And the copy control VTAF, at item level - ZTAN and ZTAB are identical.

Then the issue probably is with the item category (and related partner configuration) of ZTAB.

2. The sales document types for processes (ztan and ztab related) are identical or different?

3. Is the same partner procedure assigned to both these document types?

4. Same questions as 2 and 3 with regards to Billing types

5. Item categories ZTAN and ZTAB - the same partner procedure is assigned to these item categories?

6. Also in billing (VOFA), compare the partner procedures for both item categories.

7. At transaction level, in the order with item category ZTAB check if ZC partner can be inserted or not!

Kindly give answers to all the above questions.

It might seem some indepth analysis but it is worth the effort

Dear,

This is purely needs to be done by your ABAPer who has implemented this .Actually,We dont know your requirement and we dont ,how they have written logic on this in program.So,there are many things to understand and assist you.

The problem is that for a specific item category (ZTAB) the custom partner function is not copied in the return order.

I think, the ABAPer might not kept this ( ZTAM item category ) in program.So,kindly ,ask  your ABAPer on this.

Note:Can you share more info about this requirement ? why because if you want to add any partner in any transaction ( VA01 ,VL01N and VF01 both strait and returns way) then we do have functionality on this to get the partners then why your company has inserted partner function in copying control?

Thanks,
