Table: TPAR and TPART (short description)
You first define which partner processes are involved in your shipping process and
if the standard roles provided by the SAP system meet your needs. If you have to
create new partner functions, select a partner function identification that starts
with a Z. Make the definition (see Figure 6.15) by informing the system of the
master file to which your partner belongs. Enter “KU” in the Partner Type column
(to the right of the description), if a customer is involved. Expand any entries to
the right of the value and select the related master file.
Figure 6.15 Overview of Supplied Partner Functions
An incompletion procedure is also assigned to this partner. It is displayed in the
Error Group column and cannot be changed here. In the overview, you also
define if a superior partner exists for the partner function (Superior Partner function)
column. Place a checkmark in the Unique column if the partner function is
unique. For example, the contracting party is unique and may appear only once in
the shipping documents, but this customer can easily have several ship-to parties.
The ship-to parties would not be unique.
