Assigning Multiple Ship-To Parties to Contracts

Prerequisites

You can assign multiple ship-to parties to a contract, if these ship-to parties are entered in the customer master data record as alternate partner functions.

  1. Start of the navigation path From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Logistics Next navigation step Sales and Distribution Next navigation step Sales Next navigation step Contract Next navigation step Create/Change. End of the navigation path

  2. On the Change Contract: Initial screen, enter the contract number and select Sales (sales overview).

  3. In the Create/Change Qty contract: Overview screen, choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Header Next navigation step Partner. End of the navigation path

  4. The Create/Change Qty contract: Header Data screen appears with the Partners tab active.

  5. All parties assigned to the customer master data record are displayed.

    When you create a contract, you select the ship-to party and the alternative ship-to parties that are valid for the contract. If you select only the ship-to party, but no alternatives, the system does not consider the alternative ship-to parties during subsequent changes to the contract. As a result, when you change the contract to add multiple ship-to parties, the system does not automatically propose the alternative ship-to parties. However, you can manually enter the alternative ship-to parties.

  6. Enter Ship-to party in the Partn. funct. (partner function) field.

  7. Enter the alternative ship-to party or parties in the Partner field.

  8. There can only be one customer with the partner function Ship-to party . You can change this party by entering a different customer in the partner field.

  9. Repeat these steps until you have added all of the ship-to parties you want. You can delete parties by selecting the line and choosing Delete line .

  10. Save the contract.
