• CBusiness partner category
• DPreceding condition contract

• B

• C
  11% (2)

Explanation

Partners in a sales order can be determined from a customer hierarchy (B) because SAP SD allows partner functions assigned at higher hierarchy nodes to flow down and populate partners in sales orders for subordinate customers. A preceding condition contract (D) is also a valid origin because when a sales order is created with reference to a condition contract, partner data from that preceding document is copied into the order through standard partner determination.

Option A (General value contract) is incorrect - while a value contract is an outline agreement that can be referenced, it is not a recognized source in the partner determination procedure for sales orders. Option C (Business partner category) is incorrect because the category (Person, Organization, Group) is a classification of the business partner itself, not a mechanism for determining which partners appear in a sales order.

Memory tip: Think "Hierarchy & History" - partners come from where the customer sits in the Hierarchy (B) or from the History of a prior contract (D).
