Questions: Vendor Account Group and Purchasing Organization

Dear SAP experts,
I'm just a novice user and would like to have your advice on the following questions:
1. How to change Vendor Account Group
Vendor has been created already with wrong account group. Can we change account group??
2. How to add Purchasing Organization
Vendors have been created without purchasing organization. When we try to raise contract, error msg. mentioned that "There is no purchasing organization for this vendor number"
Can we add purchasing organization to that vendors?? If so, could you pls let me know the procedure.
Thanks with rgds,
Su

Hello,
Changing Vendor Account Group is not possible. Block the wrongly created vendor (FK05) & create a new vendor under correct group (FK01). Transfer all the balances from wrong vendor to new vendor code.
Use Transaction code XK01 to extend the Vendor to purchasing organization. XK01 would allow to enter purchasing view of the vendor.

  • Vendor Account group and recon account

    Hi,
       I have 2 vendor account groups:
    1) ZLOC- For domestic vendors
    2) ZIMP- For Import Vendors.
    My requirement is when I am creating the vendor master, the recon account meant for local vendors should automatically get selected and for import vendors recon meant for import vendor should be selected.
    this is required to avoid entry errors by users. currently they are selecting by drop down and made mistakes.
    Regards

    Hi,
    In std SAP, I don't think it is possible.
    We have to maintain it manually.
    It's not a day to day activity so very few chances of mistake by user.

  • Vendor account group definition

    Are the delivered vendor account groups and their number ranges considered best practice or is this field one that the users decide on the number ranges and which vendor account groups to use.
    What is the SAP recommendation on vendor account groups we don't plan to use? 
    Thank you.
    Cindy Collins

    Hi,
    It depends on the nomenclature of number you would like to use. If you are ok with the number ranges provided then ynu can go ahead. Check in XKN1 if system allows you to use that i think it will let you. For diffrent vendor account group you should use unique number ranges that could easily distinguish them like for local vendor account group you can use 1xxxxx and foreign vendor account group you should different number range. Hence number ranges provided in standard template can be used for vendor creation. Hope it answers your question.

  • Mass updation of Vendor account group

    Dear FICO gurus
    Found XK07 -Individual processing to change Vendor account group, but issue is i need to change  for more than 2500 vendors. Can any one suggest the alternative t.code as solution  (apart from LSMW/BDC).
    Thanks in advance
    Deepak

    Hi,
    You can use transaction MASS, enter LFA1, select table LFA1. Select the account group field, enter the value of the account group you want to change and execute. This will bring up a list of all vendors with that account group. Enter the new vendor account group and execute. All vendors with the old account group will be updated with the new vendor account group. However, you must have all fields settings the same on both account groups for this to work.

    Hi:
           Simple develop a query report in SQVI for it. For seeing vendor recon account against account group make use of table LFB1 and for customer account recon account make use of KNB1...Choose account group in selection and in output keep account group and recon account or any other field desired. This will meet your requirement.
    Apologies...wrong table names were written mistakenly

  • Vendor/Customer Account Group and Master Records

    Hi Gurus,
    Please tell me during implementation Vendor/Customer account groups and Master Records will be prepared by FI Consultants or MM, SD Consultants?
    Waiting for reply
    ThankYOu

    Dear Verma
    It is the usual practice that FI consultants should prepare Account group and also maintain General data and Company code date in Vendor/Customer masters. SD and MM consultants are informed by FI to maintain Sales and Purchase organization respectively by SD and MM consultants.
    If this helps please reward with points.

  • Account Group and Vendor

    I created account group and assgn number and tried to creat Vendor, but system is asking for partner number.
    thanks

    Hi Shahid
    The problem you are encountering could be for teh fact that the number range assigned to the account group is external and hence the system is prompting to assign a partner number
    The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records
    The account group determines:
    o   the number interval for the account number of the vendor,
    o   whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,

  • Change customer / vendor account group

    Hi,
    I want to change the account group of a vendor. I tried XK07, but I then get a message about "Critical field groups" that would be switched off in the new target account group and then SAP doesn't let me change the account group.
    The "critical field groups", however, are not critical to me at all and they are not relevant to my vendor master account. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case and if it's still possible to change the account group?
    Thanks in advance.
