Assigning Partners 
Use
When a marketing
element is created in the Marketing Planner, business partners with
partner functions can be assigned to it on the Partner tab. You can
assign a partner to a partner function and use these partners for workflow in
campaign
automation or for activity
management.
Examples of partner functions are stakeholders or collateral providers.

Activities
You enter the Partner tab for the relevant marketing element and assign business partners to several partner functions as defined in Customizing for this object.
The entirety of all of these functions is known as the partner set.
A partner set is a collection of partners that are clearly identified by their partner functions (such as person responsible, contact person) and their partner number.
You can change the partner set at any time, that is you can add or remove partners or change their partner functions.
The Partner tab page also contains standard functionality for maintaining details on the selected partner.
