Vendor Partner Roles (Functions)

[Former Member]

Hi All ....

I have a query regarding Partner Roles ....

I understand we can assign Partner Schema to Roles and then Partner Schema to Vendor account group and in this way a vendor will get the desired roles from Vendor Account group.

But there is another transaction where we can link Roles to vendor accounting group.--- Permissible Roles (IMG - MM ->Purchasing -> Partner Determination )

Therefore just wondering why there are two ways to link Roles to Vendor accounting Group.

And which config data (Partner Schema / Vendor accounting group) will determine the Roles which should be assigned to a vendor.

Thx in advance to u all

Regards

look that permisible step means u are allowing the maximum possible roles per account group

and that schmea step means u r going to select few roles as per need from the permissible roles

example

permisible roles allowed 10

in schema used 5 roles

now try this one do not allow the invoicing party role in that permisible step and directly include that in schema and assign to u r account group now go to xk01 or mk01 and create vendor master and include that partner role in vendor master .the moment u do this system is going to genrate error message

Link of partner role with account group gives the

list of partner role allowed for an account group.

Schema to vendor account group assignment links the group of partner roles present in the schema to the account group.
