2719848 - Sales Quote Party Rules Not Updating Party ID for a Role

Symptom

You are working with Sales Quote Party Rules; however, for a clearly set of conditions met you are not seeing a non-unique Role being created a second time with a given Party ID.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Administrator work center.
  2. Open the Sales and Campaign Settings view.
  3. Click in the Define Rules for Sales Quote Parties hyperlink.
  4. Click in the Add Row button.
  5. Fill in the conditions in the sequence step with a Role ABC (ABC is an active Sales Quote Involved Party) and Party ID DEF (DEF is a valid Party ID to be assigned to Role ABC).
  6. Click in the Add Row button.
  7. Fill in the conditions in the sequence step with a Role ABC and Party ID GHI (GHI is a valid Party ID to be assigned to Role ABC).
  8. Go to the Sales work center.
  9. Open the Sales Quote view.
  10. Click in the New button.
  11. Fill in the information as needed to match the conditions XYZ.
  12. Click in the Save and Open button.
  13. Open the Involved Parties view.

You expected to see two instances of the role ABC, one with the Name column as DEF and the other as GHI.

Cause

ABC is a standard Sales Quote party role. Currently it is not possible to assign multiple Party IDs to a standard role using the Sales Quote Party Rules.

Resolution

You can use a z-party role for achieving this. For z-parties it is possible to assign Party IDs to multiple instances of a role inside a Sales Quote using Sales Quote Party Rules. If necessary, via a custom implementation (PDI) you could copy the z-parties to the standard parties.

This is the standard behavior of the system.
