As of Release 3.0, you can assign a variable number of partners to functional locations and equipment .
The possible partner types ( vendor , customer , contact person ...) can be subdivided into partner functions (goods recipient, sold-to party, invoice recipient ...). These are determined via a partner determination procedure which depends on the equipment category or the location.
During the notification processing and order processing, the system makes available the partner information of master data. In addition, you can enter further notification-related or order-related partners. In addition to standard partner addresses, you can also enter special addresses for an operation.
Maintain the partner determination procedures for equipment categories and bin types.
