Hi Kalvakunta,

PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE

First go to OBD2 – create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.

Now go to IMG – logistics general – business partner – customers – control – define & assign customer number ranges. Here you define the number range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.

Now go to VOPA – here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. After saving it double click on it then you will face with a screen. Here you enter the partner function and you can select if you want the function as mandatory and not changeable.

Then go back, click on procedure assignment, enter your account group in the lower left corner of the screen, press enter then in front of that select your partner determination procedure. Then save it.

Then click on go back 2 times. Here you can see partner functions, click on it, then go to environment in the upper menu and select Acct. grp assignment. Here just select your partner function and in front of that you select your customer account group. Then save it. Now you have completed the pre requisites to create the customer master.

Then go to XD01 and create your customer master.

Partner Determination

SP, SH, BP, Payer are key to document processing. Automatic partner determination happens in the sales document, delivery and billing documents, sales activities, and the customer master record.

IMGSDBasic fncsPartner fncs, define partner fncs [VOPA]

Each partner function can be assigned a partner type. This partner type specifies whether the partner is a customer, contact person, or vendor.

Hi Susheel,

Partner Determination has only 6 steps to carry.

1. Define Account Group

YOu have to define account groups first like 0001, 0002, 0003 etc. First decide which r the Account groups you want to define (like sold to , ship to , bill to, payer etc)

path : IMG -> LOGISTICS GENERAL -> BUSINESS PARTNER -> CUSTOMER -> CONTROL ->DEFINE ACCOUNT GROUP AND FILED SETTINGS FOR CUSTOMER

and after defining that give the number ranges to your account groups using DEFINE AND ASSIGN CUSTOMER NUMBER RANGES in the same path.

Now for remining rest of determination procedure use the path

IMG -> SD -> BASIC FUNCTIONS ->PARTNER DETERMINATION -> SETUP PARTNER DETERMINATION

2. Define Partner Functions

You have to define your Partner Functions first. Like SP, SH, BP, PY you create your own partner functions.

PATH : IMG -> SD -> BASIC FUNCTIONS ->PARTNER DETERMINATION -> SETUP PARTNER DETERMINATION.

3. Define Partner Determination Procedure

Now define Partner Determination Procedure. Like AG, WE, RG, RE. These are very imp. which we cant see the use of these procedures directly. But these r most important things while doing partner determination.

You can do these in Same path

4. Assing Partner Determination Procedure to Account Groups.

Using the Same path assing your partner det. procedure to your account groups.

like 0001 - AG, 0002 -WE, 0003-RG, 0004 - RE

5. Assing Partner Functions to Partner Determination Procedure

Using the Same path assing PF to PDP.

like for AG -SP, SH,BP,PY,

WE-SH,

RG-PY,

RE-BP

6. Assing Partner Functions to Account Group.

Using the same path, You have to Assing your PF to your Account Groups.

Like, 0001 - SP, 0001-SH, 0001-PY, 0001-BP

0002-SH

0003-PY

0004-BP

Now create a customer using your own account group, now in Sales area data -> partner functions tab you can see all your partner functions what you assigned to that account group.

Hope this is clear,

REWARD IF HELPFUL.
