Hi Vikas,

There is some changes compare 4.6C to 4.7 Enterprise version, But you want to config in 4.6C, the process is given below -

In <b>SD>Basic Function>PartnerFunction--->Set up Partner Determination</b>, in that select the set up partner determination for customer Master in that copy the Partner Function as per your requirement, find three fields- <b>General Data, Account Data and Sales Area Data</b>, select the fields as per your requirement,then assign it to account assignment group, once do all then come out and don't forget to <b>click activate it, in menu --> Edit</b>,

Hoping this will help you,
