Activate Contact Person Functionallity in Vendor master

Hi Colleagues,
We have an issue with Contact Person functionality in Vendor master, specifically with his activation in order to use that funtion menu (Goto -> General Data -> Contact Person). Actually this command is missing in our system.
Customizing nodes about contact person (IMG -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Vendor Master -> Contact Persons) specify as mandatory requisite set the system as a Retail SAP System.
We analized the information and executed report GETSYSDEF and the system showed message SYSTEMSWITCH016 "System is set as a manufacturing system"
Our SAP system is a mySAP ERP 5.0 with component SAP_APPL level 0021.
We have several doubts related above explanations:
Is the system able to be customized as a Retail system without loose or damage some actual component (his functionality) as manufacturing system?
Which is the procedure to follow in order to activate Retail SAP System?
Is enough to make settings on IMG node "Activation Switch for SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set" flagging on application "EA-RET" or in other hand, there are other additional or different steps to make?
I appreciate any help you can offer me. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Horacio Miranda

Dear Jurgen,
First thanks for your response.
We don´t want to change manufacturing system for retail system, We try to find the way to add retail system to our actual manufacturing system only for get contact person functionality.
We need to use that functionality on vendors at tx XK01 or tx XK02 / MK02, in order to link all vendor contacts making a validation of each one against a table Z containing prohibited values. If a contact person would exist in that table the system would show an error message.
I hope to be clearly in my explanation. Thanks again for your help.

Activate Search Term/2 in Vendor master - ADDR1_DATA-SORT2

Hi,
I would like to know the steps to activate the Search Term - 2 in Vendor Master XK01.
Thanks,
Joel Cutinho

Hi,
I have discovered the procedure to add the Search Term 2 in Search Help of XK03 Transaction.
1. Goto Se11 -> Search Help, Enter KRED
2. The KRED is Collective Search Help associated with Vendor Maintainence.
3. In the 'Included Search Help' tab, you will find all the 'Search helps'. These will appear when you press F4 in the Vendor Maintainence Transaction.
4. Select any one search help where you would like to insert the Search Term 2 or any associated field you want to include in the search term.
5. Double click and open the search help and you will find 'Selection Method'.
6.Go to SE11 (View) Copy the selection method name and make a Z (copy) of the selection method. In the Z selection method. Go to 'Table/ Join' Tab and insert the table if you want to join any tbale other than LFA1 and then in Join Conditions Match the Key FIelds of both the tables, (Here i have used ADRC as the join with LFA1). Then in 'View fields' add the field (Ex: SORT2)you want to display in the search help. Save and activate.
Note: You can also give selection conditons.
7. Come back to step 5 where you had selected the Selection method, Replace the selection method to Z, which you have created just now. Then in the Search Help parameter add the field that you recently added in the Z.
Note: Use the order of the appearance of the field using (LPOS, SPOS) in the search help parameter. Save and activate.

Here is the scenario
We have the vendor master where, in alternative data all the plants is linked to the vendor with some plant specific data to it such as planning calender by night, plan delivery time, and purchasing group.
and all these info is fed to the system through ABAP forms, so when i try to amend some of the plant specific data through the form it does erase the existing data and doesn't overwrite the new data into it
to find the root cause i need the following

Which table of field "EXTENSION1" of vendor master data

Hi Experts,
I key in data in filed "EXTENSION1" (data line) for vendor master data, which table I can get this field?
Thanks.

Use this trick I learned from an ABAP friend of mine. Has a little of trial and error in it but its really good.
1. Open 2 SAP windows
2. In window 1, Go to ST05
3. Activate Trace
4. Go to window 2, access the field which you need to learn what table it is in. Ex. Go to XK02 to view the field. enter data in it.
5. Go to window 1, Deactivate Trace
6. In window 1, display trace
7. Check each table written there in SE11 and see if your field is in that table.

Alternative data for Vendor

Hello,
I would like to use the alternative data for the vendors. But, I canu2019t manage information such as planning cycle at the vendor level.
The information comes from the material and not from the alternative data of the vendor.
For example, the MRP always consider the planning cycle from the material and not from the vendor.
Help would be appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
I dont think u can maintain information relating to material in vendor master..instead u can try in souce list for vendor-material combination.
Since MRP/Planning will be pertainied to plant-material, you can maintin them at material level and at plant level for proper planning....

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,

Bank data in Vendor Master

Hi, we have the need to supress bank/payment data in the vendor master (MK03, FK03, XK03) as well is in invoices (MIR4). I know this can be done via Define Screen Layout per Activty in the IMG. The problem this presents is that there are some users who have dispaly access only to vendor master data yet need to see the bank information. Making the setting in the IMG to supress Bank information doesn't work, because the 'display users' wint the need to see bank information are not allowd to see the required inforamtion.
Is there an authorization object that can be used for this purpose? If so, can you tell me which one?

Hello,
Call SPRO
Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Changing Vendor Master Data
You can see two step on this node,
First, you can define field groups with using "Define Field Groups for Vendor Master Records". Then you can assign changable field to this field status group with using "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records".
Then in PFCG call your role and find F_LFA1_AEN authorization object in this role. Then you must assign field status group which you created with using "Define Field Groups for Vendor Master Records" step" in PFCG.

Custom field in Vendor Master - track field changes

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to enhance vendor master (XK01) by adding custom fields. I did this, but now the customer needs to track changes made to this field. He expects to see the changes made to this custom field using menu path 'Environment -> Field Changes' from vendor master transactions (XK01, XK02, XK03). I have enabled the track changes in the data element, so that field changes can be tracked in CDPOS, but that is not enough. Please help to find solution. Thanks.
Regards
Arun

Hi Brad,
I added the new fields to vendor master using the SPRO option:
'Prepare Modification-Free enhancement of Vendor Master Record' in the following path:
Logistics-General -> Business Partner -> Vendors -> Control -> Adoption of customer's own master data fields. This created a button on vendor master, and my field is in a pop up box which is generated on click of this button.
This field is stored in LFM2 table.
I have enabled the change flag in the data element of the custom field, and it is showning the field changes in CDPOS table.
But the problem I face is how I can avoid going to the CDPOS table and instead use the menu option :
'Environment -> Field Changes'

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
