Hi Suzanne,
I spent 2 hours yesterday afternoon looking for the related configuration and/or BAdI/user exit and the bad news is that SAP has not designed any such flexibility and I was really surprised. The fact is that MRM_HEADER_DEFAULT does only allow default setting of some fields such as document date, posting date etc...
Therefore, the only workaround solution is to enhance the system to populate the warning message which enforces the end users to check in the Invoicing Party field to ensure the correct one is determined by the system (from vendor master). If it is not, then change shall be made.
Cheers,
HT

> Hello Fellow MMers,<br/>Our Finance / AP internal customers (LIV invoice processors) want the sole responsibility for selecting/picking the alternate 'remit-to' PI partner vendors when they're posting IRs in MIRO. They do NOT want Central Purchasing buyers to select the PI partner (assuming PI partners exist in vendor master data for the VN master). <br/>Actually, central purchasing agrees and does NOT want to be burdened with selecting the correct 'remit-to' address tied to 'their' purchasing vendor (the VN on the PO). There will be 4 or 5 PIs linked to one VN in the VN master, so it might be confusing to purchasing. This makes sense to me from a functional standpoint.<br/>Unfortunately, in standard MM Partner functionality, as you all may know, the selection of any existing partner types (be they OA, PI, CA) occurs in ME21n / ME22n. The pop-up box cannot be configured to appear in LIV/MIRO (standard doc type RE) in SPRO. At least not that I've discovered.<br/>I've received a good suggestion from someone on another thread to try the BAdI for MIRO: MRM_HEADER_DEFAULT. Unfortunately, our ABAPer said this is not going to work nor are any of the other BAdIs for MIRO in OSS note 1556325. I also found a promising one "MRM_PARTNER_CHECK", but it doesn't appear to be available for our version ECC 6.0.<br/>Anyone have any ideas or is this totally impossible? I'd even be willing to sell a 'modification' to the business owners on a change because this functionality is that important to our AP department. Right now, we're using the link via 'Head Office' function. This is great, but limits us to a 1:1 relationship between VN and 'remit-to' vendor i.e. "PI". I'm using PI loosely there since with head office functionality, no partner config is necessary!<br/>Thanks in advance!<br/>:-)
