If you have entered alternate business partners or additional addresses for the user-defined roles in the sold-to party or user-defined business partner master data, the system does not offer you these for selection here.

To enter a business partner in a user-defined role, enter the partner role and identification key of the business partner who is to perform this role.

Business partners in user-defined roles can be assigned to specific orders.

Business partners who manage ad spec masters, such as the ad spec master recipient or sender can be entered on the Ad spec master tab page.

A business partner in a user-defined role has an address. You are offered valid addresses for selection here. If you do not want to assign any of the addresses offered to the business partner, you can enter an order-specific address or a contact person with a home or business address.
