Hi,

Customer hierarchies start with partner determination in configuration.

You have to define the partner functions with their corresponding hiearachy when you are defining the partners.

For ex, define a PF say ZA and a hierarchy Z1. Link Z1 to ZA. Also link ZA to the account group Z001

Now define another PF say ZB and hierarchy Z2. Link Z2 to ZB. Link ZB to acct group Z002

Now when defining partner function, you have to define that Z2 is the child hierarchy of Z1.

Once this is done, the configuration part is done. Link these partner functions to the Partner determination procedures of say Customer master and Sales document header.

Now create some customer masters for accct groups Z001 adn Z002.

In VDH1N, you can mention that for the customer of Z001, the customer Z002 can be the child partner.

Now when you create the sales order, you can see the child partner automatically updated in the order. If there are multiple Z002 customers, linked to Z001 customer, then it will give you a popup where you can select which child partner is relevant for the transaction.

Hope this helps you. If you have any clarifcations pls lemme know.

Pls reward if this helps you
