Determination of EDI Sold-To Party (SAP Library

Determination of EDI Sold-To Party

Use

The system must determine the EDI sold-to party for any self-billing document transmitted, in order to carry out all further steps in processing the data. It uses the transmitted vendor number to do this. The sender can send partner description and/or unloading point, as additional information to allow more precise determination. The purpose of this is to determine the SD sold-to party using the transmitted data.

Integration

The settings made in table T661W are the same as those used for processes other than SD self-billing, for example, inbound delivery schedules.

Prerequisites

The sender must transmit a vendor number.

The sold-to party must be entered in the table T661W in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, under Sales ® Sales Documents ® Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules ® Control EDI Inbound Processing ® Execute Sold-To Party Assignment for Release Orders.

You must make the required system and IDoc settings for the sold-to party (Basis IDoc settings and SD self-billing settings) as described below.

Features

The system determines the sold-to party for the EDI transmission. It takes the information from the EDI transmission:

vendor number (mandatory)
partner description (optional)
unloading point (optional)

and uses this information to look for an entry in the table T661W. If a suitable entry is found, the system takes the sold-to party to be used for further processing of the transmission.

You carry out the following to enable determination of sold-to party:

EDI-Relevant Settings for the Vendor (mandatory)
