Re: Partner Function in Vendor master

This Doc. is F1 help ,-

In Purchasing, you have contact with various business partners (e.g. vendors or carriers). For each account group, you can define which roles the business partners may assume.For example, you can specify that certain vendors may function as ordering addresses only - not asinvoicing parties. You can use partner roles both within a corporate group and to define relationships betweenindependent firms. Examples: - Within the vendor corporate group Steel Inc., the company codeSouth-East Steel Co in Orlando can have the role of ordering addressand plant 1000 in Atlanta the role of goods supplier. - For the vendor Steel Inc., the carrier ABC Co. - as sub-supplier -can assume the role of goods deliverer.-

Go to OMZ1,2,3 -- OMZ8 transcations - Partner Functions..Check Regards,Udayasankar Rajagopalan

Hi Zafar, Basically Vendor partner functions allowed you to define the rights and responsibilities of businesspartner in a business transaction. The R/3 standard partner functions are :AZ Alternative payeeOA Ordering addressVN VendorCR CarrierPI Invoice presented byCA Contract addressGS Goods supplierDP Delivering siteAccordingly the vendor is first the ordering address, then the supplier of good and after that Invoicingparty and finally the Payee. You can determine which of the partner roles are optional and which aremandatory in the customization. If no roles have been maintained, the data of the vendor role appliesNow the Vendor partner function will work after few Setting in Customization :1) Maintain seprate vendor master record for each partner2) Activate partner function by ASsign Partner Schema to Account GroupsSPRO ; Material Management > Purchasing > partner Determination > partner Settings in VendorMaster REcord > here choose and account Group to active partner Function and from Field PS EKORGSelect L13)Define Permissible Partner Roles Per Account GroupIn this step, you can specify for each account group of the vendor which roles the vendor may assume.I.e. you can specify that certain vendors may only serve as an ordering address, not as an invoicingparty. Maintain Partner roles, which is to be used in Account GroupGS - DIMPPI-DIMPOA-DIMP4) Maintain partner function - Now in the Vendor master record you can maintain Vendor partnerfunction .or can assign partner at the Time of PO Creation ME21n, When GR will be done you can See partnerDetails.

Hi , Partners can be assigned to partner functions in vENDOR master record which can be determined insubsequent sales documents. For a customer some partner functions are made obligatory for processing of Purchasing documents, this is controlled in customizing. (refer Customizing guide) Partner functions are classified or grouped usingpartner types, eg. Customer, Vendor, Contact Person, etc. Partner functions in system are represented by two charactercode which can be alphanumeric, eg. vn etc. Partner function in SAP will determine the different partner which are used to process the PO withrespect to Vendors. Without the Partner functions you cannot create the Transactions These are mandatory You can set up PARTNER DETERMINATION in SPRO>MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION->Here in thispath you will find all the Partner functions.
