Vendor creation-suggestion

Hi,
I request for a suggestion on creation of vendors.
I have got @ 8 company codes involved in my implementation.
Out of these 8 company codes, 2 company codes looks after the entire procurement..
One company code (say A) looks after procurement requirement of 6 other company codes and the remaining company code (say B) does its purchasing.
Company code A then transfers the goods to other 6 company codes as a Intercompany transfer.
However the other 6 company codes can at times buy directly from these import vendors.
This effectively means that all these vendors shall be available for all the company codes for procuring goods on their own.
Based on this I would like to have recommendation on the level at which the vendors needs to be created.
If I create a vendor on C Code level then it will be specific to that company code.
I can have vendor created at P Org level (Assign P Org to all the plants.) which will allow me to use this vendor in all company codes. However, if I do so then I can not enter data such as recon account data, double invoice check tick mark etc at the time of creation.
I am not convinced the way I can create these vendors. Please suggest
Thanks in advance

You have to create vendor at both company code and purchasing org level.
You can create PO for a purchasing org only if the vendor is created at purchasing org level.
You can do invoice verification for that PO, only if the vendor is created at the company code level for the company code mentioned in the PO. Otherwise you will need a payee partner function vendor who is created for the company code.
Please look at the combinations you mentioned and you can work out the organization levels at which the vendors should be created.

Lakshman

Workflow for Vendor Creation through a portal.

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I have a scenario here.In my project vendor is created through a portal.On submit button from portal the workflow is to be triggered.I have to design the workflow process.So can you please guide me through what all should i consider while i design this workflow?
This is my first workflow assignment so if you explain in detail it will be a great help.
I will just pen down what all scenarios i can think of:
1.Start workflow after vendor creation or modification.
2.Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
3.Check If approvers are maintained ?
4.If yes,approve or reject the vendor.
5.If no,get the agents from the custom table who can take an action on this.
This is what i can think of.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

The corresponding BO related with the vendor creation or changing is LFA1 but this Business object doeanot have any events that are related to Create and Change , so try to create a ZLFA1 and add you own events or make use of delegation concept where you will create a delegation for LFA1.
For your first isssue
Start workflow after vendor creation or modification
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving is the user exit where in you can call the workflow when ever you change or create , because this user exit will trigger when ever you try to save the vendor. so i think you can make use of this user exit
For your second Issue
Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
Make use of SWI_GET_USERS_OF_ORG_UNIT this fucntion mdoule to get the user of the ORG unit
or you can create a Rule(for determining the agents dynamically) to find the approvers.

Vendor Creation ,Partner role OA not allowed for Vendor of a/c group ZLOV

Hi Dilip,
Check first have you Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group..
Check the path:
SPRO-Materials Management-Purchasing-Partner Determination-Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group
Here check whether OA is assigned with ZLOV or not...If no then click on new entries and enter partner function as OA and Vendor account group ZLOV...Save nd come out...
Now proceed...Hope it helps..

Hi Devraj,
I hope the below code might solve all your problem:-
//Adding Qualified field
//Creating empty record in Qualifed table
//Adding No Qualifiers
Record qualified_record = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(new TableId(<TableId>));
try {
qualified_record.setFieldValue(new FieldId(<fieldId of NoQualifier), new StringValue(<StringValue>));//Adding No Qualifier
catch (IllegalArgumentException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
catch (MdmValueTypeException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
//Creating Record in Qualified table
CreateRecordCommand create_command = new CreateRecordCommand(connections);
create_command.setSession(sessionId);
create_command.setRecord(qualified_record);
try
create_command.execute();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.toString());
RecordId record_id = create_command.getRecord().getId();
//Adding the new record to Qualifed Lookup value and setting the Yes Qualifiers
QualifiedLookupValue lookup_value = new QualifiedLookupValue();
int link = lookup_value.createQualifiedLink(new QualifiedLinkValue(record_id));
//Adding Yes Qualifiers
lookup_value.setQualifierFieldValue(0 , new FieldId(<FieldID of Yes Qualifier>) , new StringValue(<StringValue>));
//Now adding LookUP values
//Fetch the RecordID of the value selected by user using the following function
public RecordId getRecordID(ConnectionPool connections , String sessionID , String value , String Fieldid , String tableid)
ResultDefinition rsd = new ResultDefinition(new TableId(tableid));
rsd.addSelectField(new FieldId(Fieldid));
StringValue [] val = new StringValue[1];
val[0] = new StringValue(value);
RetrieveRecordsByValueCommand val_command = new RetrieveRecordsByValueCommand(connections);
val_command.setSession(sessionID);
val_command.setResultDefinition(rsd);
val_command.setFieldId(new FieldId(Fieldid));
val_command.setFieldValues(val);
try
 val_command.execute();
catch(Exception e)
RecordResultSet result_set = val_command.getRecords();
RecordId id = null;
if(result_set.getCount()>0)
 for(int i = 0 ; i < result_set.getCount() ; i++)
 id = result_set.getRecord(i).getId();
return id;
//Finally creating the record in Main table
com.sap.mdm.data.Record empty_record = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(new TableId("T1"));
try {
 empty_record.setFieldValue(new FieldId(<FieldId of text field in Main table>),new StringValue(<StringValue>));
 empty_record.setFieldValue(new FieldId(<FieldId of lookup field in Main table>), new LookupValue(<RecordID of the value retrieved using the above getRecordID function>));
empty_record.setFieldValue(new FieldId(<FieldId of Qualified field in Main table>), new QualifiedLookupValue(<lookup_value>));//QualifiedLookUp value Retrieved above
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (MdmValueTypeException e1) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e1.printStackTrace();
//Actually creating the record in Main table
CreateRecordCommand create_main_command = new CreateRecordCommand(connections);
create_main_command.setSession(sessionId);
create_main_command.setRecord(empty_record);
try
 create_main_command.execute();
catch(Exception e)
 System.out.println(e.toString());

Vendor creation default values

Where is the config for setting up default values on vendor creation process- fields like- "check double invoice" ?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Rajendra ,
Screen control for the vendor is controlled by the Account group you assign to them. So go to IMG> Financial accounting > Account rec. and payables> Master data > Define account group with screen layout. Here you can find and change the the fields status for General , company code and purchasing data.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Kiran
P.S Pls award points if you find the answer is helpful.

Vendor Creation Via OAWD using workflow

Hi,
We are currently using SAP Archvelink for attaching vendor invoices to FI docuemnt via FB60 and MIRO using a basic workflow function
We want to be able to use the same process ie OAWD to be able to initiate the process of creating a vendor via XK01. The user woudl receive an authorised vendor creation PDF form that they woudl then attach to the vendor when cretaing
I have tried to configure a new document type and have assigned to object type LFA1 in transaction SOA0. However, when I try to maintain the workflow parameters to link to transaction code XK01 in transaction OACA I get the following message
Parameter TRANSACTIONCODE does not exist for method CREATE of object type LFA1
I dont know what to do (or if it is possible) to enable the "CREATE" method for object type LFA1
Thanks in advance

I solved my own problem.
I had to configure OAWS first then it allowed me to add create in SOA0

Unable to enter Recon.account during vendor creation

Hi Friends,
During vendor creation:
In accounting information accounting i'm unable to enter Recon.acct (160000). Why is that and what will be the effect??
Anil

The reconciliation account (LFB1-AKONT) field is controlled via trans OBD3 (account group) / trans OB23 (field status group) customizing. It appears that the field status customizing must be display. Please perform the following steps:
1) Run trans OB23.
2) Double click on Change Vendor (Accounting) -> Company code data-> Account management.
3) Change reconciliation account to change. Click on Save.
4) Run trans FK02 using desired vendor / company code. Click on Accounting info. Press Enter. Reconciliation account field should be available to enter, i.e., change mode.

BDC for vendor creation

I've created a BCD program for vendor creation and I just realized that I now need to use multiple street address fields. When I run the XK01 transaction in SAP directly I can access those field by clicking on the more fields button and expanding the screen. When I use the BDC recorder function, the more fields button isn't available. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
Thanks!
Sybil

Like this:
 'X' 'SAPMF02K' '0105', "Create Vendor: Initial Screen
 ' ' 'RF02K-BUKRS' '0000',
 ' ' 'RF02K-KTOKK' 'Y000',
