Partner type for applicant no.

[former_member601006]

Hi there,

I have a requirement to record the project applicant number as a partner to a PM order.

Also i need to record external responsible person as a partner as well. that external person doesn't exist as a vendor. Business just want to capture their name (free text).

Tired config VOP2, but the available partner types are:

A	Work center
AP	Contact Persons
KU	Customer
LI	Vendor
LS	Logical system
MA	Mail Address
MP	Mail Partner
O	Organizational Unit
PE	Personnel Number
S	Position
US	User
VS	Shipping Point
WK	Plant

And non of these give me what I need.

I tried to access WE44, hoping to create new partner type. but system doesn't allow me to switch to Change Mode.

Please advise is it possible to capture project applicant number or/and free text as partner?

Hi,

You should be able to create a custom partner in VOP2.

Click Plant Maintenance and Change Icon, Click Partner Functions

VOP2 doesn't allow to create new partner type. yes i can create new partner function but that still need to be assigned to one of the existing partner types.

Existing partner types in my systems are:

A	Work center
AP	Contact Persons
KU	Customer
LI	Vendor
LS	Logical system
MA	Mail Address
MP	Mail Partner
O	Organizational Unit
PE	Personnel Number
S	Position
US	User
VS	Shipping Point
WK	Plant

None of the existing partner types is suitable for my situation. i want a partner to be a free text or Applicant number....

I looked at "undefined partner" option: but not clear how to do its setup...

As given by Yogesh, refer this note for additional information

Thanks Maria

The issue is resolved.

I followed the OSS note 1922505.
and asked the ABAPer to do some code on user exits.

I will look into the user exit.

I was able to create a partner type and assign it to partner function.

But that partner function is not available for partner determination procedure.

This is where i will try to use user exit.

I have done this:

1-     SE16> TVPA

          Added new entry

          Partner Type=XX

          Value Table= PS_ASTNR   (this is the table for applicant number)

          Partner Object=H

          Description= Applicant Number

2-     VOP2

          Select Plant Maintenance click Change Partner

          Assigned partner Function to the partner type

          Z3 - Applicant No - XX

3-      VOP2

          When trying to assign partner function to partnerdet.procedure, i am getting below error.

4-     CMOD

user exit part I am not sure about, not sure how to process this user exist which will them make the partner function available to partner determination procedure..

I have check the CMOD, looks like ICSV0008 is already active...
