Dear all,
Is it true that Customer account group will have to be assigned all partner functions that a customer can have?
I have a customer account group ZDOM (domestic) and I need to create three partner functions: ZS (Sales Employee), ZT (Transporter) and ZA(Sales Agent). Please indicate the procedure to create these partner functions and assign them to a particular customer account group.
Very Urgent
Thanks in advance..

Partner Determination
SP, SH, BP, Payer are key to document processing. Automatic partner determination happens in the sales document, delivery and billing documents, sales activities, and the customer master record.
IMGSDBasic fncsPartner fncs, define partner fncs [VOPA]
Each partner function can be assigned a partner type. This partner type specifies whether the partner is a customer, contact person, or vendor.

SAP uses condition technique to determine relevant partner functions for the objects like Customer Master, Document Header and Item Categories.
Partner Determination Procedure to Customer Master:
Fi-Co Configuration Settings:
1. Define Account Groups:
T. Code: OBD2
Create a sold-to party, Ship-to party, Bill-to Party and payer.
ZSSP: Sold-to party performs the roles of
· Sold-to Party
· Ship-to party
· Bill-to Party
· Payer
ZSSH: Ship-to Party performs the role of Ship-to Party.
ZSBP: Bill-to Party performs the role of Bill-to Party.
ZSPY: Payer performs the role of Payer.
The roles can be changed based on the requirements of the client.
Assign the field statuses based on the requirements.
2. Define Number Ranges:
T.Code: XDN1
3. Assign Number ranges to Customer Account Group:
Here we assign numbers ranges to account groups.
SD Configuration Settings:
4. Define partner Functions:
Check for the standard partner functions like SP, SH, BP, PY. These are the major partner functions in case of partner determination in customer master, apart from that One-time customer, contact person etc. can also be partner functions.
Error Group: Incompleteness procedure for the partner functions. That reminds the user about the fields in which values have not been maintained while saving the document. Ex.: 07 Customers.
Higher Level Partner Functions: A partner function to which you can apply subordinate partner functions. You can use higher-level partner functions to create a hierarchy. Ex.: Credit representative (KB) can have higher level partner function Credit manager (KM). So KM should be assigned to KB as Higher Level partner Function.
Unique: Indicates whether you can use this partner function only once in the customer master data or in the vendor master data.
Customer Hierarchy Type: Specify the Customer Hierarchy Type, if relevant partner is participating in Customer Hierarchy
Set up partner determination for Customer master
5. Partner Determination Procedures:
From here the actual partner determination starts, we create partner determination procedures and assign the partner functions and their characteristics. Choose the standard partner determination procedure AG, copy it and rename it or we can define our own partner determination procedure.
Here we went to New Entries and created a new partner determination procedure SAG: SCIL Sold-to Party. Highlight it and double click on the partner functions in procedure.
Here we assign partner functions to our partner determination procedure for the sold-to party. Go to New Entries and add partner functions and also check whether they are Non Modifiable and Mandatory
N Non Modifiable: After entry, partner can no longer be changed in the document.
M Mandatory: Indicates whether a partner function is mandatory in a particular partner object, such as the customer master, sales document, the item category.
Similarly we do it for SWE: SCIL - Ship-to Party, SRE: SCIL Bill-to party and SRG: SCIL Payer.
6. Partner Determination Procedure Assignment:
Here we assign the partner determination procedure to the customer account group.
6. Account Group Function Assignment:
Here we go to New Entries and assign
SP, SH, BP, PY ZSSP
SH ZSSH
BP ZSBP
PY ZSPY
Then we go and create a customer in XD01, and save it. Go to XD02 and following screen will appear.
To confirm our account group, go to Extras  Administrative Data in the menu and check out the account group. Following screen will appear.
