Customer partner's Address in the Idoc segments

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have a requirement wherein i need to transfer all the ship to parties address associated in the main customer (Sold-to party). Is there any standard way to populate the Ship-to party address as well in the idoc triggered from Sold-to party.

I would appreciate your response if you throw your ideas on this.

With regards

about which process/IDOC are you talking?

do you want to distribute master data or is at about sales order or delivery?

There is no such feature in standard.

You only send the selected customers with their addresses.

If you need as well the partners  which are entered in the partner roles, then you need to send them too with an extra IDOC. (usually before otherwise the IDOC for customer A with partner B will fail if B is not yet available in the target system.)

this is quite challenging. You need to read all partners from KNVP table, and then iterative  all partners of those and again .. until you have all possible customers together.

This often requires reprocessing of failed IDOC until all IDOCs have been processed.

If customer A has a partner B, and B has A as partner, then you wont be able to post the IDOCs at all without editing or posting them in foreground.
