Only those partner functions can be processed in the field PARVW that have been defined in table TPAR (transaction VOPA). The transfer of a non-defined partner function leads to error message VP450.
The following is valid for the determination of the partner number:
If the partner number is sent in the field PARTN, it will be transferred as such to the document. If the field PARTN remains empty and if instead a partner number is sent in the field LIFNR, the external partner number (LIFNR) will be converted into the internal partner number (PARTN) via table EDPAR. The partner number from the sender information of the control record (EDPAR-KUNNR), the partner function (EDPAR-PARVW) transferred in the segment, as well as the external partner number (EDPAR-EXPNR) are used as keys for the conversion. If the conversion is not successful, the error message VG140 appears.
If data is not sent in PARTN or in LIFNR, the partner number is determined by processing the inferior segment E1EDKA3 (see below).
For the partner functions AG (Sold-to party), WE (Ship-to party), RE (Bill-to party) and RG (Payer) address information that has not been transferred is read from the respective master data record.
