In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, business partners (e.g., carriers, shippers) can be automatically assigned to documents using specific configuration settings. According to the SAP documentation:
* Partner function (A): Partner functions define roles (e.g., carrier, ordering party) and can be configured with determination rules to automatically assign business partners based on criteria like location or agreement.
* Freight order type (B): The freight order type can include a partner determination profile that specifies rules for automatically assigning business partners, such as carriers, to the freight order.
The other options are incorrect:
* Freight unit type (C)controls freight unit creation but does not directly handle business partner assignment.
* Business function (D)is a system-level setting for enabling features, not for partner assignment.
