Define Partner
Determination Procedure and Partner Function
In this step, you define the
partners for service and maintenance processing.
- The following partner types are defined in the
system:
- You can define
partner functions centrally for all the applications in
Logistics and assign a particular partner type to these.
For example, you can
assign the partner type "Customer" (with customer master and customer number)
to the partner function "Sold-to-party".
You can define
whether a particular role in the notification or order should be changeable,
and whether it is obligatory.
You therefore assign
an appropriate partner determination procedure to each notification type and
order type. You also assign the partner functions to each notification type
and order type. Here you define which role should be assigned to a particular
function (for example, employee responsible).
- For pieces of equipment, you define the
partner determination procedure under Technical objects ->
Equipment - Assign partner determination procedure to equipment
category . You can synchronise the functions Vendor,
current customer, customer, final customer, operator with the
partner functions.
Recommendation
Use the partner determination procedures
contained in the standard system and their assignments to notification types
and order types. If you want to use your own partner determination procedures,
you can use the notification types, order types, and partner determination
procedures predefined by SAP as a reference.
