Attaching partnerts to sold to

[Former Member]

We attached a few partners to Sold to partner at the customer masterdata level.

When creating/changing a quote/contract/Order ,we need to get an error message when we have a Ship to or bill to other those attached to the Sold to at database level(XD03).

please advise

Hi Kittu,

You need to first understand how the Partner determination works both in the Customer Master and the sales documents.

In the customer master except for the sold to party (which has been marked as non changeable in t he Partner determination) you can enter as many Ship to Parties, Payers and Bill to parties as you want but when it comes to sales order for example during the creation of the sales order in the initial screen you enter the sales area . Depending on this system will show a list of all the ship to parties to choose from in the sales order. What this basically means is that you can create the sales order for only one Sold to party and any one Ship to party. This is at the header level.

Now basically the list of allowed ship to parties will appear during the sales order creation provided these ship to parties have been maintained in the Customer Master.

In the sales order at the item level you can enter different ship to parties per item but also provided they have been maintained at the Customer Master. This means that at the header level only one ship to party can be maintained and at the item level you can maintain item wise ship to party.

Hence as such there is no question of system copying any other partner other than those maintained in the Customer Master . Also if you try to enter any other partner number in the sales order header or item level which has not been maintained in the customer master system will throw up and error.

Hope this helps,
