Missing Purchasing Organization on Vendor master record

We have a vendor(s) that was created without a purchasing organization.
Is there a way to update the Purchasing Organization on a vendor master record if the purchasing organization field was left blank when the vendor was orignally created?
What are the ramifications of creating some vendors with a purchasing organization and others without?

Will,
You will need to extend the vendor to the purchasing org. using MK01 or XK01. The vendor master can be maintained centrally (XK01) or purchasing data (MK01) and accounting data (FK01) can be maintained independently. That is the reason SAP has provided 3 separate transactions.
If you need to use the vendor for purchasing functions (eg. create a PO), then the prerequiste is that you will need to maintain the vendor for all valid purchasing organizations. There are no other ramifications as such.
Hope this helps.

  • Solved - Group Fields for Vendor Master Records in IMG

    This was the solution.
    The new field's data element I added to LFB1 did not have the "change document" field checked.  I made that change and now that field shows up in IMG.
    Hello all,
    I added an append structure to the table LFB1.  This structure has 1 field.  I then created a "Modification-Free Enhancement of Vendor Master Record" to add the new LFB1 field to the vendor master screen, edit and display screens.  This is the 3rd time I have done this.  So far so good.
    Now our functional analyst went into IMG to add this new LFB1 field to a "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records" which we have done 2 other times.
    The new LFB1 field does not show up in the list of possible Table-fields.  
    There must be some other step I am missing.
    Does any of this ring a bell?  We are on version 4.7.
    Thanks
    Bruce
    p.s.
    This is the IMG path for adding 'Field Groups' to vendor master fields.

    Hi Vandana,
      There are several tables that are contain Vendor Master related data which can be used for extraction to BW. Some of the tables which can be useful for you are:
    LFA1 :  Vendor Master (General Section)
    LFM1 :  Vendor master record purchasing organization data
    LFBW : Vendor master record (withholding tax types) X
    WYT3 :  Partner Functions
    LFBK : Vendor Master (Bank Details)
    LFB1:  Vendor Master (Company Code)
    ADRC: Addresses (Business Address Services)
    ADR3: Fax Numbers (Business Address Services)
    ADR6: SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)
    ADRT: Communication Data Text (Business Address Services)
    You may use the Data sources mentioned in the previous update from Venky above namely :
    0VENDOR_ATTR --- for master data attributes
    0VENDOR_TEXTS -- For texts
    Since the fields that you are using are from different tables so its better if you go for a Generic Data source where you can use the fields as per your requirement.
    Thanks

  • Infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record

    Hi All,
    pls help me what infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record in AP module.
    Customer require when Create Employee then system automatic gernerate Vendor Master.
    pls help us.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    PRAA works absolutely fine. I have external number range for vendors.
    There is an option so that you can create HR accounts in vendor accounts
    Path:Accounting> Financial accounting>Travel
    management>Personal-Related Master Data> Create Vendors (tr.code PRAA)
    Look at this description:
    From the HR master data, this program creates a batch input session for
    maintaining person-specific vendor master records.
    The report can process vendor master records as follows:
    o Initial set up (create/add missing company code segment)
    o Uupdate (change completely according to vendor and HR reference)
    o Change (only according to HR master data, for example, name
    Block
    The following infotypes from HR master data are taken into account for
    the key date specified:
    o Actions (Infotype 0000)
    o Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001)
    o Personal Data (Infotype 0002)
    o Permanent Residence (Infotype 0006 Subtype 1)
    o Bank Details (Infotype 0009 Subtype 0 or 2)
    All other required data is taken from a reference vendor that you can
    specify as a parameter when you start the program. Note that for the
    reference vendor, reference data must exist for all company codes that
    are applicable according to HR master data. Since program RPRAPA00 cannot
    assign vendor master record numbers externally when creating
    vendor master records, you must be sure that the reference vendor is
    assigned to an account group that requires internal number assignment.
    If no house bank is specified in the reference vendor, this is
    determined via feature TRVHB (Implementation guide for 'Travel Expenses'
    -> Transfer to Data Medium Exchange -> Set up Feature for Determining
    House Bank according to the employee's organizational situation.
    The link between the HR employee's master record and the corresponding
    vendor master record is set up by entering the personnel number in the
    company code segment of the vendor master record.
    General program flow
    Program RPRAPA00 creates a sequential work file in the specified
    directory. Ensure that you use a global directory that can be accessed
    by all application servers; a directory is automatically proposed. The
    work file is later transformed into a batch input session by the
    subsequent program RFBIKR00, which is started automatically.
    In test run mode this program delivers information messages which
    document the creation of a batch input session. Since each information
    message must be confirmed manually, the test run should only be
    performed for a small number of personnel numbers.
    In productive run mode, however, the program RFBIKR00 is automatically
    started as a job; the information mentioned above is stored in the job
    log in this case.
    Initial setup of vendor master records
    Corresponding vendor master records are created from the infotypes
    listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
    vendor. During the process, the personnel number is stored in the
    company code segment of the vendor master record. Persons who already
    have a vendor master record with corresponding personnel number are
    rejected in this run.
    If a vendor master record already exists for a personnel number, but
    without a company code segment for the company code in which the
    employee exists at the key date entered, the program adds the required
    company code segment to the vendor master record. You must however
    activate the checkbox "Create new company code segment for existing
    vendor master records".
    The HR master data used is the info type record valid on the key date
    entered.
    Update of vendor master records
    The corresponding vendor master records are updated from the infotypes
    listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
    vendor. Persons who already have a vendor master record with
    corresponding personnel number are rejected in this run. The system uses
    HR master data from the infotype records valid for the key date.
    Change vendor master records according to HR master data
    All HR-specific data is changed in the vendor master records for
    personnel numbers that have changes since the date recorded under '...
    with last change since'. The system uses HR master data again from the
    infotype records valid for the key date specified.
    Block vendor master records
    All vendor master records which correspond with the selected personnel
    numbers are blocked for posting.
    User exits
    For the following situations, two empty routines are supplied in the
    includes RPRAPAEX and RPRAPAEX&H5F001 which you can adapt to your
    requirements.
    o The employee's last name is entered in the sort field in the vendor
    master record. If you do not want this to happen, you can program
    the situation you want in the user exit routine
    'set&H5Fmc&H5Ffield&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
    o If the address editing in the vendor master record does not suit
    your requirements, it can also be changed. For this purpose you have
    the user exit routine 'set&H5Faddress&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
    o If you want to assign numbers to the vendor master records to be
    created via external number assignment (for example, vendor master
    record number &H3D personnel number), you can adjust the user exit
    routing 'SET&H5FVENDOR&H5FNO&H5FBY&H5FUSER' (in include RPRAPAEX&H5F00). Note
    that
    the account group of the reference vendor must also have external
    number assignment.
    Note that in each case a thorough knowledge of the programming
    language
    ABAP/4 is necessary.
    Set up vendor master records in a separate system
    The distribution of personnel master data from a HR system to an FI
    system is a prerequisite for creating, changing, and blocking vendor
    master records.
    In the section Master Data Distribution (link to separate HR unit) of
    the ALE IMG, an explanation is given regarding the way in which the
    FI
    System is supplied with the relevant employee data from the HR System
    In the FI System, report RPRAPA00 described here can be used to
    create,
    change, and block vendor master records.
    Other wise try with VPE1 t.code.

    Devi

    Hello
    In the report RPRAPA00, there is parameter ' 'Create new company code segment for existing vendor master records' as a checkbox under the 'Initial setup' maintenance mode, and it offers you the following option:
    If there is a vendor master record already available for a predefined personnel number, but it does not have a company code segment for the company code in which the employee is situated for the key date entered,then program RPRAPA00 supplements the vendor master record with the required company code segment.
    In your case, the company code already exist, so it will not create or add a new one with this option.
    This only works for "First creation" and not for updating. You need to use "update" or "change" in the setting to do this.
    Thanks and Kind Regards

  • Reg the Sort Key field in Vendor Master Record

    Hi MM Gurus,
    I have the requirement of displaying the Purchase Order number & Line Item number in the Accounting document of the Goods Receipt. i.e., in the "Assignment" field.
    I have made the necessary configuration in FS00 for the specific GL account & also specified 014 code in the corresponding Vendor master record.
    However, once I post the GR document, and checked the "Assignment" field, it displays only the Purchase Order number and not the Line item number.
    Kindly help me on this.
    Best Regards
    Sudhi

    Have you posted the above document after set 014 in FS00 ?
    Can you test the same in your practice client.
    Check the document for more details Sort Key Functionalities and the wiki content How to update Assignment field in FBL*N report - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki

  • Vendor Master Record number ranges

    Hi,
    We have one requirement . At present my client is maintaining the vendor master record number ranges with 4 digits. Ex. 0001 to 9999
    His present requirement is that to maintain the number ranges with 4 digits .ex. 00001 to 99999. They want this should apply even to existing records. Ex: Old number 2345 , they want the present number should be 02345.
    Request you to please help in resolving the issue. Thanks in advance for the help. Matter is urgent
    Thanks
    D.K.Lakshmi narayana

    Hello Lakshmi,
    It seems to me these are your alternatives.
    1) For each old vendor in the 4-digit scheme, create a new vendor master record in the 5-digit scheme with the leading zero. Then, transfer all open documents/master records (invoices, purchase orders, info records, etc.) from the old vendor to the new vendor. Then, block the old vendor.
    2) Same as previous except instead of changing all open documents, only change the master data (e.g., info records or long term contracts or agreements) to the new vendor master record and continue to use the old vendor master record until the open documents are closed. Then, block the old vendor master record.
    I think option 2 will be the "safer" choice. Plus, for reporting, you will probably need to continue using both vendor numbers for a while.
    Maybe someone else has an easier way...
    Cheers,
    Larry

    Do you know if it is possible to have 2 different types of communication methods assigned to 1 vendor master record?  i.e. I want to be able to send out remittance advices via email but send the purchase orders via XML?  The XML is the primary communication method.

    First of all do not post your query in Cap's.
    The field selection is based on the account group

  • Delete vendor master record

    Dear All,
    We need to delete some vendor master records and following the below procedure for deletion.
    Step1:   Flag for deletion for the vendor to be deleted in XK06
    Step2:   Maintained logical file and assigned path in  T- code FILE (Physical path is maintained as F:\usr\sap\T3P\DVEBMGS00\work\{<FILENAME>} taken from T code AL11from the directory  DIR_HOME)
    Step3:   In SARA, maintained object as FI_ACCPAYB and in configuration maintained logical file name
                    Selected write option, maintained variant with the vendor name ,selected the check box General master records and saved
                    Executed the archive program
    Step4:   In job overview write job is shown but not delete job (ARV_FI_ACCPAYB_WRI20090427155628)
    We followed the above procedure for material master and it was deleted well but unable to delete vendor master.
    Please let us know if there is any other procedure to delete vendor master or we missing anything in maintaining the logical file or in archiving procedure.
    Note      : No transactional data exists for these vendors to be deleted.

    Dear,
    Deleting Vendor master is a big task even for experienced Consultants - I feel.
    Usually you can change vendor name as DO NOT USE or DELETED. If any user try to use this vendor the name will appear as above.
    Please check the OSS note:
    Note 206812 - User exit for archiving MM vendor master data
    Note 122641 - Vendor change documents not archived
    Note 77670 - FI - Master data archiving Delete deletion flag
    Note 84913 - Vendor master; deleting invalid partner functions

  • Change purchasing organization of vendor

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to change purchasing organization of vendor.
    i create 600 vendor by LSMW but their purchasing group is wrong:(
    PG

    it is easy to change the purchasing group, this can be done with XK99 transaction, no need to cahnge it with LSMW.
    But a created purchasing org segment of a material master cannot be cahnged. You can just add (create) the correct purchasing org segment. This can as well be done with XK99, refrence the wrong purchasing org.
    you can then flag the wrong purchasing org segments for deletion and run archiving to get rit of this segment.
