What must be included in the partner determination procedure for a new partner function?

The inclusion of both account group and document type enhancements in the partner determination procedure for a new partner function is essential to ensure that the partner function is correctly assigned and utilized within various sales documents and processes.

When adding a new partner function, it's important to configure the system to recognize how that partner function will interact with different customer groups (account groups) and how it will be applied in the context of specific sales documents (document types). The account group defines the characteristics of the customer master record, while document types control the processing of sales transactions, such as quotations, sales orders, and billing documents.

By incorporating both of these elements into the partner determination procedure, organizations can ensure that the partner function operates effectively across all applicable sales processes, maintaining data integrity and enabling accurate reporting. This integration supports the sales flow from initial customer engagement through to order fulfillment and billing, thus enhancing overall operational efficiency.
