SAP Sales and distribution Simulation

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am using IDES ERP 6.00 (SAP for university alliance) and i would like to know where i can find relevant information about "simulation with SAP" ?

I'm currently working on creating a sales order with t.code VA01 and I've already met many troubles.. More precisely, i need help on define partner function because I can"t overcome this following error: F2643

Moreover, I would like to know if there are any resources in "french language" ? I mean Blogs, videos or tutorial.

I am looking forward to reading you soon,

Best regards

As Veselina noted, we wouldn't really know about the resources in French but simple Google search finds that there is some SAP user group in France, so their website would seem like a good place to start.

You can start by explaining what you mean by "simulation with SAP".

As to the message about partner functions (F2643) - read the long text of the message, it has detailed explanation what you need to do to fix it (the path to the configuration that you have to adjust).

Of course, such adjustment makes sense only if you are using the correct data for your test. In IDES not all customer numbers that you see in KNVV are suitable for sold-to party; for example, some may be only ship-tos.

If you are looking for SAP blogs/tutorials in French - this is probably not the right place to search, because French is not among the supported/permitted languages on this site.

Google is your friend, use it to locate whatever tutorials you need. SAP is huge, so make sure to include the topic in your search query, e.g. SAP SD user manual.

Hey, thanks you for your answers.

I am giving you some news. Please find a screenshot of my error in attachments.

This happens with T.code VD01, i don"t know what to put in the Number cells next to partner function.

I've already assign "GPDO" account group to the customer "2743" with the "AG" Partner Procedure as you can see on the following picture:

And it works well ! as you can see:

So I've tried to do the same with another account group called "Good recipient" like a "ship to party" to my mind.

Then the F2643 error occurs.

I would like to know if its possible to assign 2 differents account groups to the same customer ?

My goal is to perform VA01 T.code.

Thanks for your advice, I am learning useful information and I make progress for sure 🙂

1. Use transaction VOPAN to find which account groups are permitted for partner function SR in your system.

In the system that I am using for checks this partner function is not used and we have assignment only to account group 0002.

2. After you find the permitted account groups -> use transaction SE16 and look in KNA1 for entries with KTOKD the same as the allowed account groups.

3. After you find the list of numbers -> use SE16 with table KNVV and paste the found entries from step 2 in KUNNR. Restrict the result by VKORG, SPART and VTWEG => the same as the sales area for which you create the customer. If nothing is found -> create a customer with account group 0002 (or whatever is set in your system) by yourself.

Hi Veselina,

The tables names are very useful, how did you know that ?

Thanks for your answer; it helped me alot !

When you use Answer instead of commenting directly to an existing answer or comment, the person that you are trying to reach does not get notified , which diminished your chances to getting a response.

Please avoid asking multiple questions in the same thread, because this makes our moderators unhappy. If your original question was answered - make sure that you mark it as solved and close it so that other members can make use of the content, too. Here is how it is done: What to do with my answered questions?

There are many ways to find tables/fields and they have all been discussed many many times. If you do some research on the topic - e.g. type in Google find field table SAP, you will find out at least some of them with very little effort. If you learn how to make a good use of the online content you will progress much faster and you will feel more confident in your knowledge than by asking questions.

Hi Valentin

If you can include a screenshot of the error that would be better, I could help you out more.

To simulate a sales order you can run transaction SE37 and run function module BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE and this will mimic the VA01 transaction. This will not save a sales order either. Try that out, read the function module documentation and see how you go.

Thanks & Regards
