Blocking the Inactive Vendor Accounts

Hi,
I am new into FI and I have a very basic question. I want to find out if there is a program that can be scheduled to run every day to find and block the inactive vendor accounts for a specific period (say inactive for last 30 or 60 days).
As of now, we are running a report to find the inactive vendors and blocking them manually. But this takes a lot of time, hence looking for a standard solution.
Please advice.
Mallik

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
There is no standard program as such available...the best way to do is build the same logic into a Z program and schedule the program to run everyday using Job Scheduler.

Block all inactive vendors

Hi All,
I am trying to block all inactive vendors in trasaction f.98 other analysis>account>list of vendor w/o business transaction per year. But it is blocking vendors with open items too. Is there any other other way we can block inactive vendors.
Thanks

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2007
Go to transaction code S_ALR_87012103 and display the vendor line items and choose only those vendors who dont have any transaction for a specified date range. Use BDC to pass on the inactive vendors to run through XK05 and block the vendors.

MIRO block invoice by vendor account group

Dear All,
We have requirement, for vendor account group:intercompany vendor, no matter the GR, IV difference, the invoice should not be blocked during MIRO
But for normal third party vendor, over 5%, the IV should be blocked in MIRO
Is it through standard config can do this? Can you guide me?

Check in SPRO configuration OMRX-Configure vendor specific tolerances if you can maintain different tolerance groups for company code and then assign these tolerance groups in vendor masters of the relevant account group accordingly, through MASS or similar other transaction.
Thanks and regards

Block One-time Vendor Account Group

Hello,
I would like to block an One-time Vendor Account, but at the transaccion OMSG there is just the option to eliminate.
Deleting the account group is the only choice or there is another way to make it?
If I delete a one-time vendor account group, I would like to know what are the risks and advices to tell may customer.
thanks,
Kathia Tsuboi

Hello,
There is no blocking of option to one time vendor. It is used for a single time and no further use of this one time vendor account. When you create one time vendor, just an vendor account number gets created and when prepare transaction data like invoice, the one time vendor address gets filled in.
I would NOT recommend to delete the one time vendor account group, they may result in invalidate your master data. Therefore, not to delete the vendor account group, but you should create alternative one time vendor account group, if the requirement insists.

Clearing of open line items in Exchange Vendor account

Hi Friends,
We have an issue related with the clearing of open items from the exchange vendor account. Details of issue are as follows,
We have two open line items in an exchange vendor account (T-code FBL1N) pertaining to the Logistics purchase invoice and a credit memo. These documents are very old documents posted in the year 2005. When user tries to clear or net these documents using T-code FB1K( using the current period), SAP generates the clearing document, i.e. it gives only a clearing document number and sends an email to user stating that update has been terminated. When we try to view the clearing document so generated using T-code FB03, system do not finds it, i.e. it is actually not in system / tables. Also most important thing these open items continues to appear in the vendor account, i.e. they are not getting cleared.
Some of our observations about the related exchange Purchase Order is that, this PO has document date 03/31/2004 having qty. 5659 GA. The very first GR and related invoice is also having qty 5659 GA and posting date of 03/31/2004. After this user had again created above mentioned documents that are in question i.e. invoice and credit memo. These documents were posted on 04/12/2005 for the qty of 22592 GA (Even though the PO qty is 5659 GA).
Now we would like to know what would be the probable reason for these open items not getting cleared from the vendor account. Please note user also tried to clear these documents using F-44 T-code but no luck.
Thanks,
Ritesh/Ninad

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.

0vendor - flag for inactive vendors

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement for a flag in 0VENDOR Infoobject to find the inactive vendors.
This falg should be set for those vendors who have no Purchase order/ Logistic Invoice created in the past 18 months.
Is it possible to get the desired result through 2LIS_02_ITM or 2LIS_02_INV? If yes then how this can be achieved through trasformation?
Thanks,
Jaibir

Hi,
Ideally this does not constitute as master data, since you are checking vendors based on transactional data namely purchase orders.
What you can do is create a report with restricted key figure with restriction on cal month(document date) for the last 18 months. You will therefore get the vendors which are active for the last 18 months.
Another way that I can think of is to create a DSO, which holds the vendor no and date of invoice/po loaded from a datasource say 2lis_02_scl or 2lis_02_hdr(anything which gives you the document date and the vendor number).
When you activate the datasource request the active table will then hold the last date for an order for that vendor. Then load data from this active table to the infoobject. Create a field say no of months in the info object.. While loading to the infoobject , calculate the no. of months between the document date and the current date.
Please note that these are all ideas and I cannot guarantee that this will work.....would be nice if it did tho.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Fixed Vendor Account No - Payroll Posting

Hi Friends,
I had to replace a fixed vendor account no with a new vendor account no for one Symbolic account. I changed it using TCode OBYU. But when run posting to payroll, it is still showing the old vendor account no.
Also when I did consistency check using wage types, I can see symbolic account is still assigned to old vendor account number.
In OBYU Tcode I am able to see Symbolic account is assigned to the new vendor account.
Then why posting is not taking this new account number also in consistency check why new vendor account number is not displaying.
Please suggest me if I am missing any configuration steps.
I will be thankful for your immediate inputs and suggestions.
Thank you.

Does each employee will have an independent vendor account?

Hi Experts,
Happy New Year
We have posted our payroll results successfully. But there was one correction has to be done i.e we are recovering the festival advance from employees. The recovery has to be posted to respective vendor accounts. But in reality it is not happening. It is posting to one vendor account for all employees.
Firstly, I need clarification on - Does each employee will have an independent vendor account?
If yes, then why not the festival advances recovery are not psoting to the respective vendor accounts?
Waiting for your inputs...
Thanks
- Siddardh

Hi,
Normally we have to create the permanent employees as vendors and contract employees as materials as Anwar said it should be same as their personnel number, because while posting any advances like festival or any reimbursements (Bills submisssions) will be posted against the vendor or material number which is same as personnel number so the cost will be booked with the same number.
