Partner function

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I wish to confirm on the following understanding is correct:

1. 1 account group : 1 Partner procedure and vice versa

2. Master data for Partner Type PE Personnel number is different from master data for Partner

Type VE sales employees.

But what is the difference between these 2 master data? Is it one is for employees in general and the other for Sales employees?

regards

hi,

this is to inform you that,

1. exactly you are right - in partner procedure there will be list of partners with NOT MODIFIABLE & MANDATORY to appear in CMR.

2. both are different partner types with its own relevance and importance. But the basic difference between these two are:

PE with partner type PE (sales employeein ENGLISH LANGUAGE) as well as VE (in DE language).

The standard system contains the functions credit representative (KB) and credit manager ( KM) for credit processing.

Both partner functions are allocated to partner type "PE".

hope this clears your issue

Hi Gurus,

To finalise, can i say that :

1. Each Partner Function has a respective set of master data defined at Account Group level where each Partner Function has a uniquely assigned Account group to it.

Or

2. Partner functions , eg. KB and KM , both are of Partner type PE. So, Master data is based on Partner Type level and this set of master data is shared between any Partner function, eg. KM and KB, that are based on the same Partner Type, PE.

So, only 1 set of master data for both partner functions need to be defined in order to be assigned in the partner function tab.

Or is it that a set of master data is defined for each Partner function of the same partner type where each partner function is uniquely assigned to 1 account group?
