PO Partner Functions

[Former Member]

Gurus,

I am working on following scenario.

Vendor ABC has 2 Ordering Addresses (OA), say ABC-Texas, ABC-Chicago, and maintained as partners in Vendor master of ABC.

A Plant at Texas sends PO to Partner ABC-Texas only and another Plant at Chicago sends PO to Partner ABC-Chicago only.

Output settings for ABC, ABC-Texas& ABC-Chicago are maintained.

I am able to get PO addressed to respective partner function by changing manually Partner Functions in PO-->Messages.

Now my question is how to link a Plant to Partner function. So that whenever I raise a PO at a plant it should shoot to corresponding Partner function.

I heard the system will ask to select ordering address when we create a purchase order. But It did not.

Dear KK ,

By the way you have explained,you need to maintain Plant wise Partner functions i.e. <b>Plant specific data</b>.

Assuming that you have already maintained the required settings for Partner function for the <b>account group</b> of the Vendor & the correct <b>Partner determination & Partner Schema</b> ,one step you have to do is to maintain Partner functions in the <b>Different Data</b> in the Vendor Master

Thanks,

Dear KK,

Go to transaction NACE -> choose applicaton (EA for Purchase Order) -> Click on Condition Records tab and maintain proper settings. Here, you would view output types and corresponding processing routines as well.

Why don't you maintain the output type in MN05 with OA instead of vendor which would mean you don't have to manualy change it in messages.
