Corporate group match code

Hi,
Can anyone guide me on how to create a Match code for Corporate group field in the Vendor Master? and create a list of possible values?.
Thanks,
Cecilia

I know it has to be done by ABAP group but I got confused with the help on this field.. ABAP group says it is going to be a core code change since there is no user exit available for that field.

Group Key field Match Code in Vendor Master

My client have a unique requirement to group the vendors. We are using the Group key field in the vendor master for this purpose, We want to create a match code which can link the vendor number to the group key field. Anyone have any idea on how this can be developed or configured.
When I looked at the help on this field Following is the help mentioned. but I am not sure how the match code for the group key would work or how to configure this. I appreciate any inputs on this issue.
Group key
     If the customer or the vendor belongs to a group, you can enter a group
     key here. The group key is freely assignable.
     If you create a matchcode using this group key, group evaluations are
     possible.

EC CS Consolidation - How can i set up Consolidation for Corporate Group

I have a task to set up consolidation for a Corporate group that has only the corporate office running on SAP and the other 18 subsidiaries are on other systems . Within the 18 subsidiaries there are 2 companies that are assoicates.The corporate group also does limited accounting transactions approx 4 invoices per month for 3 discontinued companies but not yet divested.
The 18 subsidiaries are also broken down into sub groups by type of operations e.g. Retail, Financial services, Investments, Property etc and these also groups need to be reported in a separate report over and above the Main Group Financial reports and the report must show each group (segment) on its own. -- Is there a Standard report that helps me achieve this kind of reportring
The 2 companies that are assoicates should they be created as a group if they are to be reported as a separate subgroup.
Should i create the 3 discontinued companies as company codes or business area .
If i am to create them as company codes what are the advantages and disadvantages.
If i am to create them as Business Areas how will i incorporate them into Consolidation if I am to use Company Conslidation dimension .
How best can i set up my consolidation structures ..
Please advise

Dear Stanley,
please create two different dimensions:
one for company consolidation with cons units = company codes
one for business area consolidation with cons units = business areas
Do not forget to mark the parent cons unit and create a top cons group.
Cheers,
David

Vendor, trading parner, authorization and corporate group

Hi experts!
Thank you for pay attention to my message! I have a question about the fields in customer master date.
What does it mean or what will happen to the customer master if I entry a vendor no. or a company ID for trading partner in the field vendor, trading parner, authorization and corporate group in the customer master general data?
In other words, in which business scenario or situation should I entry data in these fields:
vendor, trading parner, authorization and corporate group in the customer master general data?
Thank you for your help!
TangDark.

Hi,
Vendor- when the customer is also a vendor( i.e. supplying any form of product- raw material) you need to enter vendor no.
Trading partner- If this customer is trading with other company code of the same client.
Authorization- To protect access of the data maintained
Corporate group- If customer belongs to a group ,maintain group key here.
Thanks,
Vrajesh

Vendor Master Management - How to make 'Corporate Group' field an autoupdat

Vendor Master Management - How to make 'Corporate Group' field an automatically updated field
Frnz,
I am doing a Spend Analysis and thereby restructring some aspects of SAP and business processes. One of the intiatives is to leverage the 'Corporate Group' field in Vendor Master for getting the consolidated spend visibility at the corporate group level of vendors. So far this field wasn't been used to effect. I can update it manually, but the question remains is how do I do with the change management of the corporate group of large vendor base in the scenario of everhappening Mergers and Acquisitions. Are there any alternatives anybody can suggest ? (Like linking D&B numbers etc)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions..

Hi Shiv,
Let me elaborate the purpose of using this field. I want to have a consolidated spend visibility across a corporate group which has multiple vendor codes. Its difficult everytime to group the spends of these vendors manually especially when the number of vendors are too high. Also sometimes the names of vendor companies may not indicate that these are from same corporate group but in fact they could be. In order to have the reports generated on corporate groups, I must maintain this field in vendor master or a Z table. But the problem here is, it should be possible to update this field as and when there are any mergers or acquisitions at vendor side and the corporate group of a particular vendor gets changed due to this. So this has to be effected in vendor master or Z-table automatically. I do know that there are certain agencies like Dunn & Brad (DNB) which provide possibly the details on corporate group of a company but its not fully effective for Indian Vendors as its not mandatory on them to have DNB number & also its a disconnected process and I was looking to connect it seamlessly to Corporate Group field so that I need not bother to update these things manually everytime. I also wanted to explore various possibilities of doing this.
I hope I have spelled it out correctly.

Possibility of giving match code for Manufacturer in Equipment Master

Hi -
We can have a field exit on fieler HERST of Equipment Master.
Is there any possibility of giving a match code on this filed? so that we can maintain a table for manufacturer and user can select any one entry from this table.
We do have activated filed exit for manufacturer check, but need to further restrict the entry so that there is uniformity of entry maintained in this field.
Kindly advice.

hi narendar,
some information :
In addition to the above mentioned exit we have also created a custom match code for this field in one of our project ... the exit gets triggerred whenver user hits enter and the value entered here is used in selection criteria that displays the custom popup window ... the data is picked from vendor master table the selection createria we used was vendor name and description and vendor acount group MNFR - for manufacturers would be defaulted and displayed.So you can go with creating a custom match code which is invoked whenever user selects F4...

Match Codes

Hi,
I am trying to use a single select option in the report
s_acct FOR bsid-kunnr DEFAULT 9999990000 TO 9999999999.
Also,I have two radio buttons
p_ap RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1,
p_ar RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1,
I AM TRYING TO ACHIEVE:(F4 functionality depending on the radio buttons selected)
If p_ap is selected i am trying to get match codes(F4)
of Vendors(bsik-lifnr) and if p_ar is selected get the match code of Customer(bsid-kunnr).
Please let me know if there is any easy workaround.
Thank You,
Rao

Even if you use one select option you will have to do some processing to differentiate in your database selections in report . Why dont you use two select options like this ( Only one will be displayed on screen at a time depending on radibutton and you don't need to code for F4 )
<b>TABLES : LFA1, KNA1.
PARAMETERS : p_ap RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1 USER-COMMAND VEN default 'X',
             p_ar RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1.
SELECT-OPTIONS S_VEN FOR LFA1-LIFNR MODIF ID LIF.
SELECT-OPTIONS S_CUS FOR KNA1-KUNNR MODIF ID KUN.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT .
IF P_AP EQ 'X'.
   LOOP AT SCREEN.
     CHECK SCREEN-GROUP1 EQ 'KUN'.
     SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.
     MODIFY SCREEN.
   ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
   LOOP AT SCREEN.
     CHECK SCREEN-GROUP1 EQ 'LIF'.
     SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.
     MODIFY SCREEN.
   ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.</b>
Later in the program you can always copy both selction options to another ranges variable which you can use if required.
Cheers.

Differnces between Search Help & Match Codes

Hi,
what is the Differences between Search Help & Match Codes ? which is goof to use ?

Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.
Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.
A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:
You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.
You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.
Search Help
Use
With this function you can search for objects, thereby defining and linking different selection conditions for the search help.
Prerequisites
You can call this function by:
· Selecting Object ® Search... () in the main menu bar of the Integration Builder
· Placing the cursor on a software component version and selecting Search... () in the context menu (only in the Integration Repository)
In this case the software component version is defined as the search criteria.
Features
Defining the Object Type
You can select the object type in a dropdown list in field Object Type.
In the design (Integration Repository) you can
· Select an object type (for example Message Interface)
· Select a cross-object category (for example Interface Objects)
In the configuration (Integration Directory) you can select types Values Mapping Group and schema in addition to the individual object types.

Authorisation issue with Vendor match code

The authorisations for purchasing vendor create/change/display (mk01/mk02/mk03) has been restricted to a single Vendor account group in authorisations.
However the mathc code search in (mk02/mk03) allows vendors in all account groups to be seen, showing post code and name.
Is there an authorisation object to prevent this and only allow visibility of a specific vendor account group within the match code search?
Thanks

Match code in report selection screen does not show any values for 0FISCPER

Hi Experts,
I have problem with selection screen in several reports. When I use match code for fiscal period selection I get only # as a possible value. I have checked the master data they seem to be correct. I work with 7.0 BW system. Can you please give me any hint what I should check?
Thank you,
Michal

Hi,
maybe I ask different way - how do you add characteristic values for a characteristic in the BEx? Is it automated somehow in SAP (e.g. from master data)? For the fiscal period I use custommer exit to fill in the default value, which is the current fiscal period. But this is something different, right?
