How can I define purchase order partners in contract?

[former_member693168]

Hi to all.

When I am creating a purchase order by ME21N t-code, I can define partners, such as forwarding agent, etc., I would like to know if I can define these partners directly in contract creation, by ME31K, aiming when I will create a PO from a contract, the SAP fill the PO partners with the partners defined in contract. Can I do that?

Thanks regards.

Hello Marcelo,

If all those configurations are right, you should be able to find the Partners in the ME31K, here:

- click in the yellow marked icons

Thank you Mr. Roberto Rafic Fadlalla Filho, I tried it, and it worked fine. I'm sure you are a great SAP professional.

God bless you.

I have a point, about this solution, it works fine to me when I create a the PO using a contract reference by ME21N, but when I create the PO using contract reference by ME59N, the partners from contract weren't assigned to PO. Do you know why?

ME29N is just PO Release. You don't create anything there, just release the PO.

Excuse-me, I wolud like to say ME59N, but I get solve the problem, in ME59N after check the flag "Higher Lvl" in the partner schema for standard PO. Now, all are ok.

Thank you. God bless you.

Hello,

Yes, you can do that. The same way you did for PO.

Go to: SPRO -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Partner Determination -> Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents

- First create a Partner Schema for the Contracts (pic 1). In our case, schema number 0001

- In pic 2, input the partner roles for your schema 0001. In our case, partner roles P1, P2 and P3 were assigned.

- Then, assign your schema 0001 to your desired Document type (pic 3)

Thank you Roberto Rafic Fadlalla Filho. I made this setup, but I'm not fiding the partners field in the ME31K screen. Can you show the path to me?

Thanks regards.
