Hey Sujatha,

Customizing

You specify the partner roles to be used in the vendor master record via schemas that you define and assign to account groups in Customizing for Purchasing.

Specify which partner roles you wish to use – and which of them are mandatory roles – in Customizing for Purchasing under Partner Determination-> Partner Roles -> Partner Settings in Vendor Master Record -> Define Partner Schemas. (At this point, select the Mandatory indicator where appropriate.)

Assign the partner schema to the relevant account group. Under Partner Determination -> Partner Settings in Vendor Master Record -> Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups, you can assign different partner schemas to account groups for the purchasing organization, plant, and vendor sub-range levels if necessary.

If you want the system to also search for partner roles at purchasing organization level, and not only at the "different data" level (i.e. plant/vendor or VSR/vendor), you must set the Higher level indicator in Customizing for Purchasing under Partner Determination -> Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents -> Define Partner Schemas -> Partner Roles in Schema.

There you can also specify whether the partner roles are to be determined at the beginning or at the end of the document entry process (End indicator).

Reward pls

Regards,

Govind.
