You define the partner determination procedures in this menu option and allocate them to the keys of the respective partner object.

You group together all partner functionswhich are allowed for a partner object in a partner determination procedure. Afterwards, you allocate a partner determination procedure to a key, for example, the sales document type. The partner functions contained in the procedure are then relevant in a sales document of this type.
Through this allocation, a partner determination procedure is for example valid for a specific customer account group or a sales document type.

To define a partner determination procedure, select the partner function which is relevant for the procedure from the list of all possible partner functions. In addition, make the following specifications:

• If a partner function in the partner object is a required entry, mark the partner function as a mandatory function.

• Indicate whether you may change the specifications on the partner function in the object after the first entry or not.

In the definition of a partner determination procedure for the partner object sales activity, you can specify a partner function. This way you can avoid a function occurring twice in one sales activity, for example employee responsible.

When defining partner determination procedures for the partner object sales order (header), you can make the following additional specifications for a partner function.

• Origin

When specifying origin, you can control two features:

• Partner function of origin

In this field, you specify whether a partner should be determined directly using a partner specified in the sold-to party. For example, by entering the origin 'WE' for partner function 'SP', you can specify that the carrier is not to be determined from the sold-to party but rather from the ship-to party.

• Table of origin

In this field, you specify from which table the partner with this partner function is to be determined. The field is blank in the standard system and the partner is determined from the customer master table. If you require a partner of this partner type to be determined from the credit employee table, enter 'A'. If the partner is to be determined from the customer hierarchy table, enter 'B'. The partner function, in this case, must be assigned to a hierarchy type as well.

• Sequence

In this field you control in which sequence the partner is to be determined in the sales order. The system first determines all partner functions with an order of precedence 0 then 1 and 2, etc.

The relation between partner object and sort key is as follows:

Partner object		Key
Customer		Account group
Sales document header		Sales document type
Sales document item		Item category sales document
Delivery header		Delivery type
Billing document header		Billing type
Billing document item		Billing type
Sales activity		Sales activity type

 

1. Check to what extent you can use the configurations contained in the system or to what extent you need to change them.
2. Define your partner determination procedures.
3. Then allocate the partner determination procedures to the keys of the respective partner object.
