Partner Function

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have maintained the partner functions in the vendor master.I have maintained three different vendors for the functions VN, OA and PPI in the vendor master.

The that I have maintained in the PO is appearing in MIGO and as well as MIRO.

Why is it?

I expect system will automatically determine the vendors during MIGO and MIRO.

Hi,

The use of partner function is when you will have business transcation with vendor, the vendor act as goods supplier,ordering address,invoice payee.The kind of activites done by vendor ie...goods supplier,ordering address,invoice payee is termed as Partner Function.

Example: A company supplying material having plant in Hyderabad, south branch office is in bangalore and head office is in Delhi.So hyderabad plant is your"GS",banglaore office is your"OA" and Delhi office is "IP"where you pay to Vendor. for the procurred material.

Hope it will helpful and reward.

Hi Bijay,

Thanks. But can I test the same in the procurement cycle?

Or else how can I test this ?

My requirement is:

One vendor V1 will receive the order.

Another V2 will supplt the goods.

Another vendor V3 will be invoiced.

So in the Vendor Master I have maintaine the partner functions.

But the same vendoe V1 is appearing when I am doing the receipt and the invoive verfication.

I want V2 will copme during Goods Receipt and V3 will come when doing Invoice Verfication.

Hope my question is clear.

during the goods receipt you will see the vendor, not the partners. Partners are working behind the scene.

You post your goods receipt in reference to the purchase order.

Can you please tell me that how can I test the function sof partners?

Create a PO to your VN vendor, have the OA order adress partner with a different vendor number in this order, have a different PI vendor in this order too.

Print the PO. The adress shown on the form should be the address of the OA vendor.

The do MIRO in reference to the PO . It should default the vendor used as PI.

Where to maintain the OA and PI in the the PO?

I have maintained the Partner Functions( not in the PO ).

When I am doing the MIRO the default vendor in the PO is coming and not the expected vendor maintained in Partner Function.

In PO header - partner tab.

If the customizing is right, then your partners will default from the vendor master to the purchase order.

I recommend to read OSS note FAQ partner determination 459350

I have checked that the vendor for PI is coming in the MIRO but the address of OA is not appearing in the PO.

I guess you have a customized form, with your companies logo etc..

Contact the team that was responsible for the form and have them look for the coding. I have often seen that standard SAP routines got disabled, because one thought that this will not be needed.
