CCM - Settlement to multiple agents - No Supplier to contract XXXXXX

[kmrharish]

Hello all,

We are trying to set up a contract for multiple agents.

Since, SAP standard does not support the settlement to multiple agents using a single contract.

We have created a copy of 0CS1 and disabled the Supplier field at the contract header.

In the business volume selection criteria, we are entering the agents.

For settlement, we have maintained LIFNR in Split criteria.

Accruals are working fine but while doing settlement we are getting an error ‘No Supplier to contract XXXXXX’.

Error message is WB2R 015.

Any inputs/suggestions to resolve this would be very helpful.

Regards

Hi Kmrharish, 

How did you disable the supplier field? 
To have multiple customer/supplier for a contract, it's not only a question of "disabling" the customer/supplier owner of the contract, there are several distinctions with a single customer/supplier contract --> Please review the Standard Configuration guide. 

Make sure to change the "Type of contract partner" to "No contract partner" 
If you are based on Billing document and you have added LIFNR as split criteria, it will most likely not work as you don't have LIFNR populated in a billing document, please select the relevant field in the source document for Partner Settlement determination.

If you implement this scenario, make sure that the business know the consequences of using a Multiple partners contract, such as: 
1. Settlement for all partners or nothing 
2. Reversal for a specific settlement date for all partners or nothing, even if it was only an error on 1 document
3. Standard scale will be calculated for every single document and partner (not cumulated unless specific configuration) 
4. Settlement calendar will be the same for all partners

Hello @gvictor,

Thanks for the response.

I have made the necessary configurations including the one which you have mentioned 'Make sure to change the "Type of contract partner" to "No contract partner"'. I am maintaining suppliers in BVS. Also, business is aware of points 1-4 mentioned by you.

In our billing document, we have partner function ES which has been assigned to LIFNR_COMMISSION. I have used LIFNR_COMMISSION in split criteria. Somehow by mistake, i posted a screenshot with LIFNR. 

When I do delta accruals instead of accruals from billing document (i.e, create invoices first and contract later), final settlement works fine.

Issue is only when accruals are from billing document and when final settlement is executed via WB2R_SV, then the error appears.

Hi Kmrharish,

Check your entries for accrual posting at the time of billing document posting. 
I don't have access to your system but I guess the system is trying to reverse the accrual and create a settlement document which is not linked to any of the supplier you're using.
