Documentation

Definition

Along with partner type, uniquely identifies the output partner, with whom you are exchanging returnable packaging account statements.

Use

The output partner that is assigned to a returnable packaging account is used for data conversion, account determination for inbound statements, and partner determination for outbound statements.

Depending on the business management situation (see statement control in the account master), the output partner serves different purposes:

  • You receive account statements from your business partner and match the transactions in the statement against your own postings.
    In this case, you enter the statement sender as output partner in the account, according to the EDI partner agreement. The system uses this information to determine the account for the statement.
  • You create statements and send them to your business partner.
    In this case, you enter the statement recipient as output partner in the account. The system uses this information to convert data and to determine the recipient in output control.

In evaluations such as the account overviews, the system always bases the conversion of partner numbers and returnable packaging numbers on the output partner entered in the account.

Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

The system converts the name of the returnable packaging according to the type of output partner. If the output partner has type Customer, the system refers to the customer material info record to convert data; if the output partner has type Vendor, the system refers to the purchasing info record. Conversion of returnable packaging name is only supported for these partner types.
