Hi Experts,
I need to understand the details of the the partner functions used for vendors, what settings and master data are required for partner functions and how they are reflected in purchasing process.
I will appreciate if some one explain in detail, points will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
Anand
hi
We use to go for Partner Function when there is more than one party involved in procuring (External Procurement) the goods after the purchase order being placed to a vendor,to manage its completion.
There are certain steps in customizing for the same..
1. SPRO > SAP REFERENCE IMG > LOGISTICS GENERAL > BUSINESS PARTNER > VENDORS > CONTROLS > DEFINE ACCOUNT GROUP AND FIELD SELECTION.
2. SPRO > SAP REFERENCE IMG > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > PARTNER DETERMINATION > PARTNER SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD > DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMAS.
3. SPRO > SAP REFERENCE IMG > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > PARTNER DETERMINATION > PARTNER SETTING IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD > ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMA TO ACCOUNT GROUPS.
4. SPRO > SAP REFERENCE IMG > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > PARTNER DETERMINATION > PARTNER ROLES > DEFINE PERMISSIBLE PARTNER ROLES.
Once you have this configuration then you change your vendor in easy access menu ( XK-02 ) to define the partner roles.
I hope that this will help you to configure the partner function in your procurement.

hi,
you need to maintain seperate master record for each partner function ( say ordering addresss OA , invoice presented by IP etc) then it needs to assign to main vendor VN in master record (XK02 partner function screen) then it gets copied to Purchase order. if u r having multiple OA, IP for vendor then systems ask for choosing OA or IP
try this

Partner function is no less than a vendor, so u need to maintain the master record for partner also.Ofcourse vendor/partner may ordering address/Goods supplier/etc..for evevry partner you need to maintian a vendor master record.
