Copying the Partner into the Serial Number 

Use

Within the framework of a delivery, partner data is automatically transferred from the delivery note into the master record of the serial number when goods issues are posted.

Prerequisites

You have set the indicator Copy Partner in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Basic Settings ® Partner Data ® Copy Partner Functions to Master and Transaction Data.

Furthermore, you have assigned the partner determination procedure and the corresponding functions to the equipment category under Technical Objects ® Equipment ® Assign Equipment to Partner Determination Procedure.

Features

The system copies the partner data from the delivery note into the serial number master record.

If partner data has already been specified in the serial number master record, this data is overwritten with the data from the delivery note. However, the system only overwrites partner data for which the indicator has been set in Customizing.
