| assigned partner (SCM-ICH-SNI) |
A business partner assigned to the stock, demand, or receipt of a product.
The concept of the "assigned partner" is relevant if SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) is being used by several business partners that are acting as customers. In this scenario, a supplier can have multiple customers. The assigned partner is the customer to whom the stock data and key figures belong. The concept of the assigned partner allows suppliers to work with multiple customers and to keep their data separate, even if the customers store the same location products at the same location.
