PARTNER FUNCTION CUSTOMERS AS SOURCES FOR CUSTOMER’S ADDRESS
Partner functions SOLD-TO, SHIP-TO, BILL-TO or PAYER can be used for addresses of customers sent to FSM.
SOLD-TO and SHIP-TO will always be used for address determination by default. BILL-TO or PAYER can be used only if they’re entered in field “Role for BILLTO” in transaction /PACG/ECM_CCUST - General customizing for Customer.
ADDRESS TYPES IN FSM
In SAP FSM there are 3 address types for customers:
Partner functions BILL-TO or PAYER can only be sent as addresses of type “bill to”. For partner functions SHIP-TO or SOLD-TO you can decide if their address should be sent to FSM as type “bill to” or “ship to”.
To do this, enter roles SH or SP in one of the fields below in transaction /PACG/ECM_CCUST - General customizing for Customer, (e.g. address determined from customer’s partner function sold-to will be sent to FSM as customer address of type “bill to”)
If roles SH, SP, PY, BP are not entered in the mentioned fields of transaction /PACG/ECM_CCUST, but a customer has those partner roles maintained in ERP, then the address will be sent to FSM but FSM address type will be OTHER.
