Procedure allocation You allocate each partner determination procedure to an actual partner object using a key, for example, to an account group customer or a sales document type. Partners are contained both in the customer master records and in the sales and distribution documents. You define partner determination for each of these objects individually. The following partner objects exist: customer master record sales document header item delivery header billing document header item sales activity After defining the partner functions, select one partner object after the other and define the partner determination procedures for the selected object.
