SAP SD Assigning the Account Group to Partner Functions Partner Determination in Sales and Distribution

Use

An important requirement for proper sales order processing is that each customer can only include those functions relevant for him in a document. You can do this by assigning permitted partner functions to an account group.

Examples from the system:

• The partner function SP can be taken from customers from the following account groups:
  0001 (sold-to party), 0005 (sales prospect), 0007 (sales partner), CPD (one-time customer). . .
• Customers from the following account groups can not take over the partner function AG.
  0002 (ship-to party), 0003 (payer) or 0004 (bill-to party).

Activities

If you have created a new partner function of the partner type Customer, you must assign a partner function to the account groups for which it is permitted.

Customizing

You can make these settings in Customizing for Sales and Distribution for partner determination.
