When making settings for customer hierarchy, you must not only take hierarchy category into account. You must also consider higher-level partner functions which are maintained in partner determination.
Depending on hierarchy category, special partner functions are determined during order processing for each node on the hierarchy path. Starting with the initial partner function (in standard versions such as 1A), higher-level partner functions are determined and assigned to nodes in the customer hierarchy path.
Partner functions 1A - 1C have been defined in the standard release with the initial partner function appearing on the lowest level.
If you wish to use more than three customer hierarchy levels, you must first extend the partner functions (Table TPAR). Keep in mind that the system can process only up to 26 hierarchy levels.
Note
Use at least the same amount of higher-level partner function levels as you use customer hierarchy levels. During path determination and price determination only the same amount of customer hierarchy levels are taken into account as there are higher-level partner function levels available. This is why there may be some remaining customers not taken into account.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard system, there is a hierarchy category as well as three partner functions which are set for the customer hierarchy and are available for you to use.
- If necessary, create additional partner functions in order to use additional hierarchy levels.
- Assign the account groups to the partner functions.
The path to the account group assignment is: Partner functions -> Environment -> Account group function assignment. - Maintain a partner determination procedure and assign order types and and billing types. You should also make the following settings:
- Cannot be changed
- Mandatory function blank
- Access: B for customer hierarchy
Transport
To initiate transport, select 'Partner - Transport' in the initial screen.
