Hi
Partner determination is the process of where we assign the partner functions to the customer
in the business we define the customer master who performs some partner functions like sold to party ship to party bill to party and payer
For example if the customer is the one time customer he perform all the four partner functions and the customer is not the one time cutomer he performs the only one partner function
We define the partner functionsin the basic functions of the sales and distrubtion
<b>PATH</b>: imgsales and distribution-basic functions and partner determinationset up partner determination procedure --set up partner determination for the customer master
here we have to define the paratner determination procedure
then click on the assignment of the partner determination procedure to the document types
then
assign the partner functions to the partner determination procedure
then
assign the partner determination procedureto the account groups of the customer master and then
save it
then goto vd03 of the customer master then paraner functionstab and then assign the other partner to the sold to party
her u have to define the different partner s if the customer is not the one time customer
and these paratners should to be defined in the different account groups and then they should be assighed to the customer master for the sold to party
thanks

HI,
In the partner procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (customer master, sales document, item category etc.).
For each object, in whixh partner functiions can be created, you can define partner procedures. That means
for the customer master
for sales documents
for sales documents and billing documents: for items
By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure is valid.
In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function:
whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
whether the partner function may be changed in the document
For sales documents and sales activities you can also enter in the partner procedure that the corresponding partner function should be occupied by another other than the sold-to party master record (source control).
Activities
Example
You can create a partner determination procedure for billling documents in which the sold-to party, bill-to party and the payer are obligatory but the ship-to party is not. (For billing it is more important to know who orders and pays for the goods rather than who receives them)

Partners are of various types:customer, vendor, contact person etc.
These partner types can carry out different activities which is defined by partner functions. Sold to party etc are partner functions which may be assigned a customer.Hence you need to assign partner functions to partner types.
Partner determination procedure helps you to define partners for customer master, sales order, delivery, billing etc.
Different partner functions need to be assigned to a partner determination procedure which has to be assigned to an account group ( in case of partner determination for customers)
Trust this would give you some basic idea of partner determination
