ALE ditribution of vendors as customers

Hi,
We use ALE ditribution of vendors between two systems.
Some of these vendors are flagged as "returns vendor" in Purchasing Data view, and a customer is linked to this vendor.
But we get an issue on the target system with DEBMAS, CREMAS, CRECOR and DEBCOR with status 51 .
It seems that we can not correctly replicate vendors when they are managed as customers.
Has someone already got this issue, and how do you solve it ?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
MPAL

Hi
There are no techincal issues involved with status 51.
It is surely a data issue.
What is the error message you are getting for vendors?
Cheers,
Hakim

Consolidating In/Out Payments for BPs who are vendors and customers

Hi
We do business with a number of companies who are both vendors and customers and I am wondering if there is a better way of dealing with contra payments..
At the moment I would do the following:
I want to pay a supplier's November AP Invoices but they also owe us (a lesser amount) for November AR Invoices....
1. I create an incoming payment for the amount of the AR Invoices but deposit the payment to a 'contra' account instead of our current account. (No actual funds have been received from the supplier/customer)
2. I create an outgoing payment in the amount of the balance of the 'contra' account which pays off some AP Invoices in full and one AP Invoice in part. I choose the 'contra' account as the payment account.
3. I create a second payment for the balance of the part-paid AP Invoice and the rest of the due AP Invoices. I choose the current account as the payment account.
4. I send the supplier/customer 2 separate remittance advice notes along with a single cheque in the amount of the 2nd payment..
Is there a better way of doing this which doesn't rely on me remembering to check whether a vendor is also a coustomer and whether they owe money for the relevant period before I do a payment run?
Thanks for any advice (SAP 2007A)

Duplicate vendors and customers

Good morning all.
I have a question about unique problem I need to consider. Essentially, I have merged two company codes which resulted in duplicate vendors and customers. At this point, it's easy for purchasing to select the right record, but in the future, it would be nice to eliminate the redundancy. The problem is, no computer system will tell me duplicate records as they may be entered differently. For example, customer A may be located on 123 Pleasant Lane, but it may be entered as 123 Pleasant Ln. in the other record.
I would appreciate your feedback if you have encountered this problem and your strategy resolving it.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Sasa

Hi,
I encountered this situation and I cannot think of a standard tool available to get you this. Either you build a query or download the data into an excel, then sort by the name and let business identify the redundant ones and then flag those for deletion. Before you do that, make sure the settings related to the vendor/customer that you are going to keep are correct.
You may use transaction MASS to set delete indicator.
Hope it helps.

How to app run for foreign vendors and customers please tell the steps

hai every body this is raj
i am asking how to create the foreign vendors and how to apprun for foriegn vendors please tell the steps
and another questions is how to run app for customers t

Lets say your company code is in country IN. Every vendor you create (using XK01, lets say) with a country other than IN is a foreign vendor for your company code. To enable APP for foreign vendors, make sure you check the checkbox 'Foreign Business Partner Allowed' in 'Payment method in company code' in T Code FBZP. If the vendor invoice is in a foreign currency, make sure you include that currency as permitted currency for that payment method.
To run APP for customers, your 'Payment method in country' in FBZP must be for incoming payment.

Enable Muliple Vendor and Customers in F-44 and F-32 Transactions

Hi All,
Are there any exits or BTE's which can enable entering of multiple Vaues for Vendor or Customer numbers in F-44 & F-32 transactions.
TIA.

Hi Hussain:
I am sure you would have tried this option already. Just wanted to give you this transaction, in case you did not. You can try F.13 (Automatic clearing) to mass clear the vendors/customers line items. Though this transaction won't give you all the features F-44/F-32 gives but if mass clearing is the only requirement you can try F.13 for collective.
I dont see any BTE/Enhancment on F-44/F-32 as the way these transactions work is specific to invididual account.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks.

Is there a way to set off contra amounts for vendors and customers?

Hi i would like to know whether there is a way in B1 to set off the contra amounts for a business partner who is both a customer and a vendor in B1? If so how?

Hi Savindi,
version 2007 fully supports multiple BP internal reconciliation, you are hence able to offset transactions of 2 separate BP codes against one another.
Both 2007 A & B are in general availability, please see the appropriate landing page on the SMP.
All the best,
Kerstin

Change FAX number for all vendors and customers in a massive way.

Hello,
I need to change the FAX number for all the vendors and custormers in Q01 so that every form should output through an specific test fax-printer. The problem is that I don't know which field I should change and how can i do it in a massive way. I have heard something about catts but i don't know almost anything.
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Luis Álvarez.

Hi Luis,
Use tcode XK99 for vendor mass change, select the Fax no field. You have to take note that this changes will be only 1 fax number for all vendors.
Else you have to use BAPI for mass change.

maia

Dual Control feature on Vendors and Customers

Hi !
The way I understand this functionality, the vendor is blocked for payment only. So I can create a PO, Goods Receipt, Invoice Verification without any warnings or error messages. Isn't there a way to get the system to block these activities as well until the change on the master record has been confirmed?
On the customer master this feature seems even more useless since 'payment block' makes no sense for a customer. If a sensitive field is changed on a customer, at what point will the system stop the process? I was able to ship and invoice without any messages. Obviously the system is not going to prevent cash application
Maybe I should post this on the SD thread... anyway, any advise will help.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Hi Anisha ,
As far as i understood u don't want to carryout any procurement activities for a particular Vendor.
In that case u can use Trs :XK05 and block for company code / Pur.Org.
If you want to block vendor for a specific material then u can go for source list ( Trs :ME01)
Incase of customer using Trs: XD05 u can carryout the required activities.

Transfer vendors and customers from dummy profit center to other profit ctr

Hi all
No. of vendor /customer transactions are posted in dummy profit center-
How to transfer from dummy profit center to other profit centers line itemwise or balanceswise
thanks in advance
joseph david

Hi Joseph,
Acturally at the end of certain period, payables/receivables will be updated with the profit center using the TCode: 1KEK. the program searches for the profit center in opposite line item in each document and updates the payables/receivables line item with that profit center.
But in your case you want to transfer the payables/receivables from dummy profit center to other profit center. You can transfer the amount from one profit center to another profit center using the TCode: 9KE0.
Hope this helps you...

Different Exchange Rate Type for Vendors and Customers Invoices

Dear Friends,
We have configured different exchange rate types for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable thru T Code OB07. What are the additional Config steps required to ensure that the respective buying and selling rates will apply to Accounts Payables and Receivables. We do not want to stipulate the exchange rate types in Document Types as this special exchange rates are applicable only for one of the Company Codes.
Would appreciate your help in this regard.
Regards,

Hi,
Then you can use a different document type for those company codes and can default the exchange rate type there.
OR,
The alternative wya is to use the substitution in OBBH/ GGB1 for those company codes with exit programming.

Function or bapi returning customers or vendors with open items

Dear experts.
may you please tell me which function or bapi can i use that will return all customers or vendors with open items per given plant. i have tried to use BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS and BAPI_AP_ACC_GETOPENITEMS but they return open items for a given customer and vendor respectively per given company code.

willard,
the term "open items per given plant" is not defined exactly. VENDORS and CUSTOMERS are not linked to specific plant. GOODS are produced and stotred in one or more plants. They may be sold by a sales organization linked to a company code. Copany may have seral plants.
That may be one reason for SAP not to provide the function you are looking for.
Please give more information about company structure and sales and purchase process.

Creating Cross Company Code Vendors/Customers.

Hi All,
I'm trying to understand how to create cross company code Vendors and Customers. I've already established the link with configuring OBYA. What I'm not clear is on which company code I should be creating the vendor and customer.
We have two company codes, 2100 & 0980. CC 2100 has the central bank tha pays invoices for CC 0980. I have two issues.
1. What kind of configuration is needed to accept incoming payments into CC 2100 House banks and lockboxes?
2. For intercompany activity between 2100 & 0980 how are the vendor and customer master records set up? I know there needs to be a vendor on the customer master and a customer on the vendor master.
So for 0980 acting like a vendor for 2100 I'm assuming the vendor number for 0980 is set up as a 2100 vendor.
The same is true when acting as a customer. The difference being is that this vendor entered into a field on the customer master and the customer number is entered on a field in the vendor master.
I'm missing how the Vendor record, if created on Company Code 2100 gets linked to Company Code 0980.

For SAP to 'know' that a particular vendor / customer master records represents a specific company code, all these needs to be linked to the same 'company'.
Companies are maintained in T880 (IMG : enterprise structure -> definition -> Fin Acctg -> Define Company
Company code is linked to a company in the cocode config. IMG enterprise structure -> Assignment -> Fin Acctg -> Assign comp. code to company
And finally, the Trading Partner field in the Customer/vendor master is where you assign the company to the cust/vendor.
This setup will eventually allow you to consolidate interco A/R, A/P, etc.. if you need to but is not necessary for the interco process to post.(although you'd want to have it rght from the get go)

Integration of customers and vendors- customer exit for renaming

We are planning to use customers for capacity reservation functionality and vendors for subcontracting in APO.
Due to this, we will need Vendors and Customers in APO.
Currently some plants are using same number range for customers and vendors.
So, we will have to rename either customer number or vendor number.
In such situation, do you recommend renaming customer number or Vendor number?
Do you see impact of renaming customer or vendor in above processes?
Can you please e-mail me which customer exit I should use and steps that should be followed for renaming?
Thanks,
Srini

Your problem:
Different location types with the same name or number in the external system. For example, a customer and a supplier both have the number 1000. This problem occurs especially with vendor and customer numbers.
You can do the following:

Transaction Code     SPRO
2.     In the Business Add-Ins: All Implementations for Definition SMOD_APOCF001 dialog box, go to the Defined filters table and select the suitable implementation for your problem situation, for example:
Field Name     Entry Value
Bus. add-in implementation name     APOCF001_TYPEDIF
Implementation short text     Locations of different type with similar names
3.     Choose Change.
4.     Confirm the warning message.
5.     On the Business Add-In Builder: Change Implementation APOCF001_TYPEDIF screen, choose Activate business add-in implementation.
