In this step, you make the partner settings for rebate arrangements.
Partner schemas enable you to group various partner roles. You can specify that certain roles in a schema are mandatory, i.e. may not be changed after entry.
You can assign these partner schemas to
different rebate arrangement types. This has the effect that only the roles of
this schema can be maintained in documents belonging to this document
type.
If the user makes no specification with regard to the defined mandatory roles
when entering a relevant rebate arrangement, his or her attention will be
drawn to this fact by the appearance of a system message or an additional
dialog box.
You have the option of defining different
partner schemas at the different data retention levels of the vendor master
record.
For example, you can have a different ordering address at the more specific
level "purchasing organization/vendor sub-range/plant" than at the more
general level "purchasing organization".
