The partner determination procedure specifies the partner functions that are allowed or mandatory for processing a particular business transaction, such as a sales order. You determine partner determination procedures in the vendor master via account groups and data retention levels (purchasing organization, vendor sub-range, and site).

System identifies through Partner schemas maintained at

In that OA -Ordering address is to be maitained.

SPRO-Materials Management-Purchasing-Partner Determination-Partner Roles

A)Define Partner Schemas

B)Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents

Define Partner Schemas

Assign Partner Schemas to Document Types

AND

There is no need to mainatin each and every partner function in vandor master

If you want differnt vendors to play different role then only maintain partner function with that vendor code.

If you are not maintaining it system will take 1 vendor as default to play all the roles.

Example:vendor X has no partner function maintained then OA will be vendor X

if vendor X has OA partner function maintained as vendor Y.

Then OA vendor will be vendor Y when u create a PO on vendor X.

HI,

Go through above link :

Hi,

Vendor partner functions allowed you to define the rights and responsibilities of business partner in a business transaction.

The R/3 standard partner functions are :

AZ Alternative payee

OA Ordering address

VN Vendor

CR Carrier

PI Invoice presented by

CA Contract address

GS Goods supplier

DP Delivering site

Accordingly the vendor is first the ordering address, then the supplier of good and after that Invoicing party and finally the Payee.

You can determine which of the partner roles are optional and which are mandatory in the customization. If no roles have been maintained, the data of the vendor role applies.
