Partner function copy from contract to PO

Question:
Hi All,
I have maintained a Contract with Invoicing Party entered
I have maintained the same in header details also
But while making a Purchase Order against this contract my invoicing party maintained in the contract is not being copied
Do I require any configuration to be done for this?
Am I missing some thing else while maintaining my contract?
Is it the way SAP is supposed to work?
Is it a bug?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Matt
Answer:
You must have partner schemes assigned correctly to both vendor master and purchase document type.
This is a part of settings to be performed in customizing if you do not use standard records provided by Sap A.G.

Answer:
The partner determination from contract to PO is pretty tricky. Did you set the search at a higher level indicator in the partner schema for contract and PO? If not try if it work if you set this indicator. For more detailed information refer to SAP note 495350, 394091, 376319
Answer:
Hi Andrzej,
I had done the partner schema assignment to Vendor master
Where do one assign partner schema to purchase document type?

Answer:
Hi Thanks All,
As Bernd has mentioned the partner fucntion copying is not very straight forward. I have achived this after some fiddling around. I have to go back and identify what exactly (or what all ) made this work?
