Tricky Partner Function requirement

[#1]

Hi.....I have a scenario like this.

In one of my client's requirement (i cannot explain the entire logic why it is so since it would take a lot of explaination), we are planning on assigning Ship-to's to a Bill-to and a Bill-to is assigned to a Sold-to.

Hence as you can see that a Ship-to is not directly assigned to a Sold-to.

Also.....in the sales order we are planning to enter the Ship-to first. Now i need help if anyone can let me know if this partner determination logic can be configured in SAP.

Summary: Ship-to is assigned to Bill-to and Bill-to is assigned to Sold-to.

As soon as we enter Ship-to in sales order, it should determined Bill-to and then Sold-to should be determined from Bill-to.

Thanks

Dear AB,

One question- Will the Ship to Party be assigned to only one Bill-to-Party?

Your requirement can be done by

1. defining a partner determination procedure for the Sales Document.

2. Setting up the Partner Functions in the Partner Procedure. Here you can define the Source of the Partner Function. So if you require the Sold-to-Party to be determined from the Bill-to you can set it.

Moreover you can setup the sequence in which the partners are to be determined i.e. First Ship-to- then Bill-to and then the Sold-to.

Hope this guides you to the solution.

Regards,

Karthik.
