Partner Function Address change at line item level - Item Partners checkbox

[Former Member]

Hi guru, we have a requirement that we need to change the address for partner function at line item level without changing the partner number. Currently the ship-to partner function address is automatically coming from the header although the number is modifiable but not the address (when double click into the partner number, the pop-up is grayed out). It is probably because the Item partner check box for the shipto partner is not checked (field name: SD_PARTNER_POSFLAG). However that field is not modifiable in VA02 either.

If the shipto partner number is overwritten, then the item partner check-box is automatically checked and allows address chanage. Is there a way in the configuration that can default the 'item partners' checkbox for certain partner so the address can be changed without the need to overwrite the account?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

You cannot change the address of the partner function without changing the partner number. If you are over-writing the ship to partner number, it is taking as a new partner function and so allowing you to enter the details.

If the item level ship-to party is derived from header partner function, but you want to change the address at item screen rather than header level. On item screen, enter the same function, the same number again in a new line, "item partner SD_PARTNER_POSFLAG" is then ticked. Then proceed to the address change.

No need to do modification.
