Hi

Hi mukesh,

Follw the folling steps to confiigure Partner determination.

First determine one account group ( Trans code OBD2 ) assign number range for acct group ( Trans code OBAR ).

Define partner determination procedure:

IMG -> SD -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Setup Partner Determination -> Partner Determination For Sales Doc Header

Click on Partner Type

Go To New Entries and Define Partner Types

Customer KU

Vendor LI

Contact Person AP

Sales Employ SE

Select Partner Type KU and Go To Details Icon and Maintain Partner Functions

SH Ship To Party

BP Bill To Party

PY Payer

Come Back and Click On

Assign Partner Type To Sales Doc Header

For Sales Doc Header The Partner Functions Can Be Determined From Customer Master.

Hi,

good remark to say VOPA has been enhanced. This was done within 4.70, but the transaction name has changed too.

It is VOPAN now./

Best regards

Hi,

I recently encouter exactly the same problem.

The problem was that I hadn't allow the Partner Functions to be used by my new Account Group.

If you use an old SAP version (4.6C for instance) the customization point VOPA is not clear at all.

SAP ECC6 has improved VOPA a lot.

So .. to assign Partner Functions to Account Groups:

- Go to VOPA

- Select the radio button "Customer Data"

- Click on button "Parner Function"

- Click on menu "Environment" and choose "Acct grp assignment"

There you can specify which account group is allowed to use a partner function (SP, SH, BP, PY, ...).

Once again, to add a new line it is quite strange:

-> modify an existing line and then click on "Enter"

A new line will be created and the one you modify remains unchanged.

Hope this will help you.

Regards.

Hi,

By understanding ur error, it is mostly because of partner determination procedure for customer master had not been set up properly. So go to IMG> SD. Basic Functions--> Set up partner determination --> Partner determination for Customer Master.

1. Define Partner Functions ( Already available)

2. Define partner determination procudure

3. Assign partner functions to partner determination procedure

4. Assign function code to account group

5. Assign account group to determination procedure.

I hope this is helpful to you

Hi Mukesh

Please check the following again,

IMG > Logistic > SD > Basic functions > Partner determination > Customer master

Define the Partner functions. If you are defining new then specify the "PARTNER TYPE" for each Partner function.

- Define Account group. You can use existing one (0001-sod-to-party) or you can copy it or create new.

- Define your Partner determination procedure.

- Assign the required Partner functions (SP,SH,PY and BP are mandatory) to your Account group, so that they will be permitted for your Account group.

- Assign the "Partner functions" to your new "Procedure ". Here you specify which are "mandatory" and which are "not changeable".

- Assign the "Account group" to your new "Procedure".

Now, go to XD01,enter your Account group,External number,company code,Sale area and proceed.

If you are finding problem then,fill up all your data (general data, company code data), go to sales area data, fill up sales ,shipping and billing document tab and save it.

Next, go to XD02, sales area data >partner function tab, here fill up the places for respective Partner functions.

Hi

Follow the path

IMG > SD > Basic function > Partner determination > Partner determination procedure for Customer master > Define Partner functions

First, define "Partner functions". You may create new or can take the existing ones (SP,SH,BP,PY are manadatory, choose other partner functions if you require.). Donnot forget to specify the Partner type for the respective Partner functions if you are creating new.

Second, define a "Partner determination Procedure" by choosing new entries.

Third, assign the "Partner functions" in the "Partner determination procedure".In the procedure , you can mark Partner functions SP,SH,BP and PY are mandatory. Also you can mark which of these you want to make "not changeable".

Fourth,Create a new "Account group" or you can take existing one (0001-sold-to-party).

Fifth,assign the "Partner functions" to the "Account group".

Sixth, assign the "Procedure" to the "Account group".

Preferably, assign an internal number range to the Account group.

Now, go to XD01 and create your customer by specifying your Sale area, Company code and Account group.

Check all the above assignment correctly and proceed.

Hi

This is because when you create a new account group you have not mentioned that this account group will carry out BP.PY,SP,SH

This is done in img-sd-basic functions-partner determination-set yp partner determination for customer master

In this the fifth activity Account groups function assignment

Check in this for BP.PY,SP,SH your new account group is assigned

Second

While creating the customer in XD01 with external no range are you giving the no and proceeding

If that is the case then the external no will come automatically appear in partner functions greyed out in non modifiable and in editable mode for mandatory

If these are correct i think you should not be facing any problem

Ensure all these log off for 1 minute and relog and test

Mr.Pradamyuna has explained very well yesterday and now too

Hi Mukesh

Check the partner determination procedure. , configuration you have done. .As i suppose that the problem is in partner determination procedure only

Secondly also check the number range(Internal or External) you have assigned to your account group in OBD2. while creating CMR

Hi Mukesh,

Don't forget to allocate this new account group into the list of allowed account numbers for partner determination.Otherwise you will not be able to create any customer master records using this new account group.
