Question:
Hi,
I defined vendor "B" as OA partner of vendor "A". I am raising PO on "A". I selected OA in the partner tab of the PO. Now, when I go to message window to set the output device, it still shows me the "VN" partner (i.e. original vendor "A") by default in the window.
In that window, I have to set the output to OA partner manually. Can the system show by default OA partner in there whenever I will select OA partner in partner tab of PO?
Another problem is, in the output message window, it allows to set ANY vendor code (which is not an OA of the vendor "A"). How to restrict that to only OA partners defined for the vendor?
Please reply

Hi,

Yes, this can be done by setting up the condition record in Transaction MN04 for your PO Output Type.
Another problem is, in the output message window, it allows to set ANY vendor code (which is not an OA of the vendor "A"). How to restrict that to only OA partners defined for the vendor?
This can be done by setting the partner function in both vendor master as well as Message Type for your PO.

Hi Ha Tran,
Regarding the 1st issue of output determination on OA partner -
I checked the record from MN06. The details of the record are -
Output type - NEU
Key conbination - "Purchasing output determination:doc type/put
org/vendor"
In the record -
Vendor = 500445 (The vendor code on which I want to raise PO)
PartF = OA
Partner = 501044 (The OA partner whose address should get printed on
PO, I also defined this vendor as OA partner for the above vendor in
XK02)
Medium = 1 (Print output)
When I create PO on vendor 500445, I select the above OA partner in
the partner tab. 2 entries appear in the partner tab.
One - VN - 500445 (Main vendor)
two - OA - 501044 (OA partner)
Both the entries are greyed out automatically.
But in the message window, still it is showing by default VN - 500445
vendor. It is not showing the OA partner by default in the message
window for print output.
When I click on Goto -> determine analysis. It shows a message - VN 077
-
No analysis log exists.
Is there any missing step?

Go to Transaction M/34 and select your NEU Message Type and then click on 'Default Values' tab page where you can see how this message type was set.

Hi Ha Tran,
Ok. It was set to "VN". I changed it to "OA" and tried creating another PO.
It is still showing "VN" as default value in output!!
Any other place from where it is taking default?

Answer:
Hi Kedar,
Another possibility is to check from the condition record setting. Similar to the PO condition type where SAP will stop checking for the other record if the first one has been identified. What you have to do is to change the sequence in your condition record where the record with 'OA' Partner shall be set before 'VN' and let me know the result.
