Use
The partner type allows you to make a general schedule for the business partners acting on the market. The partner type shows from which master records the partner data was taken to transfer into the document.
The following table shows which partner types are available in sales and distribution processing and which partner functions are assigned to these partner types in the standard system.
Partner Types and assigned Partner Functions
Partner Type | Partner function, e.g. | Entry expected from system | Type of master record |
Customer (CU) | Sold-to party (SP) Ship-to party (SH) Bill-to party (BP) Payer (PY) | Customer number | Customer master record |
Vendor (VN) | Forwarding agent (fwdg agent) | Vendor number | Vendor master record |
Human resources (HR) | Employee responsible (ER) Sales employee (PE) | Personnel number | Personnel master record |
Contact person (CP) | Contact person (CP) | Contact partner number | (created in customer master record, no master record of its own) |
No new partner types may be added to the partner types generated by the system.
Activities
If a partner belongs to different partner types, you must create a corresponding amount of master records for this partner. If, for example, a customer company also delivers goods to you, you must create a customer master record as well as a vendor master record.
