Functionality
This method checks the existence of a TSW partner role. Notes
A partner role is defined in the master data record and defines abusiness partner. The partner role includes information about theactivities that the business partner can carry out and where thebusiness partner carries out these activities. Stockholding objects,such as plants and storage locations, can also be defined as partnerroles.
A partner role is defined using existing SAP System master data records,such as a vendor, customer, or plant. Because the partner role definesthe activities which a business partner carries out within the TSW
supply chain, transport systems and/or locations must be assigned in themaster data record of each partner role. Structure
Each partner object (vendor, customer, plant, storage location)corresponds to certain pre-defined role types. The role type, in turn,determines which differentiator (transport system and/or location)object is valid for the partner role being defined. A role type and theassociated differentiator is assigned when creating the master datarecord of each partner role.
The following graphic illustrates the relationship between partnerobject, role type, and differentiator when creating a TSW partner role.
