Here, you will find the information you need to define the partner determination procedures relevant to the Partner Processing service in CRM Billing.

You make partner determination settings for Billing in the IMG section Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing. In this section, you can define partner determination procedures for the business transactions in CRM and for Billing, among other things. For more information on partner determination procedures, see the documentation for the IMG activity Define Partner Determination Procedure.

Before you start making settings for your partner determination procedures, make sure that you have defined all of the partner functions required (section: Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing; activity: Define Partner Functions) and that you have assigned them to the standard SAP partner function categories.

To ensure that you can make full use of Billing as part of the CRM process, you must specify which partner functions must occur in which partner determination procedures:

• Billing due list item

Partner functions "Sold-to party," "Ship-to party," "Payer" and "Invoice recipient" (one partner only in each case)

• Billing header

Partner functions "Payer" and "Invoice Recipient" (one partner only in each case)

• Billing item

Partner functions "Sold-to party" and "Ship-to party" (one partner only in each case)

The partner functions "Invoice recipient" and "Ship-to party" are required for action processing (printing), the "Payer" for transferring billing documents to Accounting, and the "Sold-to party" for selecting billing due list items.

To define a partner determination procedure for Billing, go to the Customizing section for partner processing (Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing).

In the activity Define Partner Determination Procedure, you can define three partner determination procedures for Billing - one to check the partners during input processing (when they are passed on to the billing due list), one to transfer them to the billing header during billing, and one to transfer them to the billing item during billing:

1. Partner determination procedure for the billing due list

In this partner determination procedure, you specify which partners must exist when you pass on an item to the billing due list. Based on the specification made in this partner determination procedure, the system runs the following checks:

• What is the minimum number of times that a partner function (such as invoice recipient or payer) must occur?

• What is the minimum number of times that a partner function (such as recipient of duplicate invoice) may occur?

When the partners are transferred to the billing due list, those partners that form the basis for the partners in Billing are accepted.

You can make the following settings in the structure on the left:

• If you want to transfer address changes for a partner function to the billing due list, you must activate the Address can be changed option at the Partner Functions in Procedure structure node for this partner determination procedure.

• Go to the Procedure user structure node, and specify the billing due list item as the procedure user of this procedure.

1. Partner determination procedure for billing document (header partner)

In this partner determination procedure, you specify which partners should be transferred from the billing due list to the billing header. This information is important when it comes to grouping together different items into a single, common billing document during the billing process - if all the partner functions and partners in the billing due list items match up, then the items in question can be billed for using the same billing document. If there is a difference in at least one of the partner functions specified, then the items are billed using separate billing documents.

Enter Billing document as the procedure user for this partner determination procedure.

1. Partner determination procedure for billing item (item partner)

In this partner determination procedure, you specify which partners should be transferred from the billing due list to a billing item.

Enter Billing item as the procedure user for this partner determination procedure.

• There is no partner determination when partners are passed on to the billing due list during input processing.

• During the billing process, only partners from billing due list items are transferred as header/item partners. No other type of partner determination takes place here, since all of the partners from the preceding document must exist when input processing occurs.
