Partner functions OA and IP missing for Vendor in Extended classic PO

[Former Member]

As part of current Classic scenario, we have maintained OA (Ordering Address) and PI (Invoicing Party) for a vendor in R/3. We have also maintained different ordering addresses for multiple plants in the Vendor master: Partner functions screen --> Alternative data.

I would like to acheive the same functionality in Extended Classic scenario. We have replicated the vendors from R/3 to SRM. After activating Extended Classic scenario, we see only VN as the partner function in R/3 PO.

Q1. How can we enable OA and PI partner functions in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?

Q2. How can we enable different ordering addresses for multiple plants in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?

Hi

Which SRM Server are you using ?

<b>You need to maintain Partner Functions in the SRM Server - SPRO Transaction - Configuration Settings.</b>

<u>Here is the Path from SPRO Transaction -></u>

<b>Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cros Application Basic-Settings -> Define Partner Functions</b>

<u>Maintain Similar entries as mentioned below.</u>

<u><b>Hope this will definitely help.</b></u>

<u>More details -></u>

<b>For 1), see these links below -></b>

<u>For 2), see the pointers -></u>

<u><i>There is an article written by Jason Didday at www.saptips.com entitled "mySAP SRM and SAP R/3 Partner Functions: Supporting OAs, VNs and IPs" that you may find useful.</i></u>

<u>In SRM, there is no standard relation betwwen plant and vendor master data.

You can use BBP_GET_VMDATA_CF BADI to add backend data in SRM while using BBPGETVD and BBPUPDVD transactions.</u>

Do let me know.
