SAP SD Partner Type Partner Determination in Sales and Distribution

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.
