Partner Determination

[ranjeetrajendra_jain]

Hiya

I have created Partner Determination for customer master. Started from creating Account group for Sold to party Via copy from 0001 Standard. created partner function assigned to my procedure and did ann the necessary assignments for customer master as well as sales order header partner determination.

When i create a order to a SP customer created via new account group, it gives me an error customer does not exist in customer master however it does...

and when i add only ship to party it gives me an error sold to party is not assigned to ship to party....

Please help...

Hiya

From what i under stand if you run your cycle from AC GRP creation it doesn't work...

2 things come to my mind

firstly sp has assigment AG so i consider that you have done those assignments for your new partner functions as well

Second if you have cr8et your SP from ac grp of SP then have you created ac grps for all the other partner functions that you have created or have you used the stnadard for the rest....

I think the answer lies somewhere there...

I am still hunting may be by tomorrow i give you some thing...

Hi

For the sold to party account group, create a customer

For the ship to party a.g., create another customer , both customers for the same company code and sales area combination

Now assign the ship to party as the partner in sold to party's master data. Also make sure the Bill to party and Payer are also filled in customer master of Sold to party.

If all these details are available, then the error message will not com eup.

Hope this is clear to you.

Reward if this helps you
