link between customer(kunnr) and partner(parnr)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

what's the link between customer and partner?I know the customer no but how I will find out the corresponding sales person name? I am trying mapping to KNVP and KNVK based on parnr but I am not getting that.Can some body tell me in which transaction we create sales persons? and which transaction we can see both customer and corresponding sales person name?

Thanks&regards

In our system, we use the KNVP table, with partner type ZE for sales person.

You may use transaction VOPA to maintain partner functions.

PARNR refers to the contact person. If you are using contact person then it can be created using VAP1 transaction for a customer (VAP2/3 is there for change/display). The same contact person can be viewed in XD0* transaction for customer change/display - under general data contact persons tab. This will have link in KNVK - parnr and kunnr.

If you are referring to partners then as our friend Rich mentioned, you need to create/configure a partner function first using VOPA transaction and then extend the existing customer or create a new customer attaching to existing customer under the new partner function. This can also be viewed in XD0* transaction, under Sales area data - partner functions tab. You can create a sales person like this. In this case KNVP will have the link between partner (kunn2) and the customer (kunnr).
