This Knowledge Base Article explains how the party roles are determined in a sales document in SAP Business ByDesign.

SAP Business ByDesign

The following 3 elements are taken into consideration for the determination of the Party Roles in a sales document such as a Sales Order:

1. The fine tuning activity Involved Parties for Sales Orders (in the example of a Sales Order) in your Business Configuration.
2. The Organizational Work Distribution rules in the Organizational Management.
3. The Employee Work Distribution rules in the Organizational Management.

To determine the Parties in a Sales Order you need to consider the determination rules in the fine tuning activity Involved Parties for Sales Orders for the following Parties:

A) Seller

B) Sales Unit

C) Employee Responsible

You can check the rules for each party role by selecting the party role and then clicking on the Maintain Determination button.
