Blocking Vendors on Company Code level

Hi,
Our Purchasing Organization has multiple Company Codes. Is it possible to block certain vendors for a Particular company code without affecting the other company codes which might be using that vendor??
What exactly we are trying to do is block all future Purchase orders & Requisitions from being created for a list of Vendors for one company code. We do not want it to affect other Company codes within the same Purchasing Org which might be using the same suppliers.
I know about XK05 but I think it puts a "Purchasing block" at the Purchasing Org level only and not on the Company code level. Is there any way to achieve this??
Your inputs are really appreciated.

Hi Martin,
If you want to Block the Vendor for a Particular Purchase Organization and Company code then Go to XK05 and Select Vendor Pur Org and Comp Code and in Posting Block tab Activate for Selected Company code and in Purchasing Block tab Activate for Selected Purchase Organization and Save.
Before this you need to set the following to Error.
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Environment data-Define attributes for System messages
ME 023 Vendor & blocked for purchasing organization &
ME 024 Vendor & flagged for deletion
ME 025 Vendor & flagged for deletion for purchasing organization &
For XK05 Message ME 023 would work.
Regards,
Nani.

  • Payment block non editable on the basis of company code level

    Dear Gurus,
    we had made payment block "A" non editable in payment praposal through transaction code ob27.as per reqeust from
    our partent company in India but our subsidiary in France wants the payment block "a"  to be editable (to be insert
    payment block "a" in document to make document deselect). Is it possible to make payment block editable on the basis of
    company code level.
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    In this scenario, you need to have a NEW Payment block key like Z. Create Z with reference to A in OB27.
    For Z, you need to select check box Change in Payment Proposal and SAVE.
    Now maintain this Z in vendor masters of company code, where you want the payment block can be edited.
    Note: Payment Block codes are not company code dependent.

  • Addition of a field in vendor master table at company code level

    Hi Champs,
    My requirement is to add a field in LFB1 table.
    I have added the field in the table using append structure, that was fine.
    I need to add the same for input/output on the screen 215 of program SAPMF02K (for the screen of Payment transaction Accounting at company code level).
    As far as I know there are only screen enhancements for Vendor master(no screen exits). The screen enhacements are  "Prepare Modification-Free Enhancement in Vendor Master Record". But using that i need to create a subscreen, but in my requirement I need to add the field on the same screen.
    Is there any solution for that???
    Please let me know if my doubt is not clear.
    Regards,
    Nishant

    Hi Krish,
    I am not able to find the screen exit for my requirement.There is only screen enhancement for Vendor master.If you have any idea of the same pls let me know.
    I am ok with the solution that i need to change in the standard screen using access key,  but do i need to code anything in the PAI or PBO of the screen or it will be taken care automatically. Details of the program and screen is already given.
    Thanks

  • Manage vendor bank account in company code level - Best practice

    hi,
    we have on our client several company codes, and we are thinking how to manage the vendor bank accounts in company codes level or in centeral level.
    our problem with company codes level is that the vendor bank accounts define in a centeral level so technically with sap standard it is not possible. if anyone can tell me that this is possible i will be very happy to know.
    in centeral level our problem is with the business process because of we do not have a person (functionalism ) that can be responsible for all the company codes, basically every company shoule be responsible for her vendors
    please advice what is the best practice to manage vendor bank accounts in enviroment of several company code
    regards,
    meir

    hi Raghu,
    i know that but this is not my qusition.
    which company code will be responsible to enter the bank account in the vendor master data? as i say the vendor bank accounts manage in centeral level and not in company code level and this is our problem and i like to know how other companies with the same situation handle with this issue
    and also after we have the bank accounts in the vendor master data what happend if for one vendor has several bank accounts one for every company code? how the payment program F110 could know automaticaly which bank account to take (i know that there is an optoin to use Partner bank type in the vendor master data, and enter this PBT when posting the invoice of the vednor, but this is not good because of we do not want the the accountant will be responsible from which bank the vendor get his money).
    regards,

    > System should not save the PO, if the vendor has not maintained at the company code level. How to achieve this?
    Vendor Need not to be Maintained at Company Code Level For Creating Purchase Order.
    During IR only System will Look whether Vendor is Maintained at Company code Level.
    Try the User Exit MM06E010 Field selection for vendor address and Check any Possibility is there.
    What you can do is you Can Restrict Users to Use MK01. And give Authorization to Limited Users for XK01.

  • Communication method in Vendor master required at company code level

    Standard Communication method field in Vendor master, which determines the method of communication with the business partner, is placed at General data level. Business uses same Vendor master across company codes / purchase organizations. The communication method for each of them can be different for the same Vendor record. This currently is a limitation in using MDM for Vendor data management. Is there a way to either move std communication method field to purchase org / company code level ? Is there any other possibility availble for meeting this business requirement ?

    Hello,
    The requirement is to have communication method by country (company code / purchase org). That will enable business to have different communication methods (print, fax, EDI etc) with corresponding Vendor business partners in respective country.
    Thanks,
    Tushar.

    Hi There
    I think it can be solved in 2 ways,,
    1. Number range, if you have not defined for the particular company code for this year,,
    2. Authorization for the Comp Code level (Check with your basis team ,, it will be the easieast way to block it for CC level and when ever you want they can just remove the block, (insterad of doing the changes in config, if basis can control the authorization it will be the best way)

  • Release Strategy @ Company Code Level

    Hi Guys:
    We have a two plants under one compant code, when we issue PO to the vendor it consists quantities that are required for both plants ( Central purchasing org).
    Release strategy for PO is at header level , I.e Total PO Value can we release strategy @ company code Level?
    with Characteristics as Company Code ,PO Document Type and PO Value?
    Thanks
    Sweth

    Hi
    For example if the release strategy set at c.code level all the documents created for several plants belonging to the c.code will affect the release strategy,so that is not the purpose of release strategy,
    The main purpose of release strategy is certain documents created for particular plant or particular purchasing group or more than the value need to be blocked based on your business,so you cant able to set the release at c.code level because thre is no logic.
    The characteristics for release strategy for external purchasing documents are
    Plant                - WERKS
    Pur.group        - EKGRP
    Pur.org            -EKORG
    Acc.assignment category-KNTTP
    Document value-GNETW

    The table is CEKKO

  • Classic profit centers reporting full b/s  below company code level

    Dear Experts,
    we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
    Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
    any suggestions ?
    Regards,
    Sekhar

    Hello Sekhar,
    With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
    This is due to following reasons
    1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
    No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
    But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
    This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
    Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
    2. Asset line items
    Profit center will be determined by Asset master
    3. Tax accounts
    Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
    4. Material accounts
    Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
    5. Other Balance sheet accounts
    These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
    Hope it helps..
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Valuation at plant level and company code level

    Hi,
    Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
    Regards,
    Malsha Kalubowila

    Hi,
    Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
    Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000.  Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra)  whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
    Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
    Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
    So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

  • Valuation Area at Company Code level

    Hi,
    In what ideal business case/industry one should set valuation area at company code level when SAP recommends valuation area must be set at Plant level ? in other words..what is the practical purpose of Valuation area at company Code level?

    Hi
    Think that valuation area link with records in table MBEW. So, if you have a company with 3 plants, and you have a single valuation for all company, in 3 plants the valuation of materials are the same, with their implications in valuation of stock and valuation of margin in sales (remember that this value can flow -really, use to flow- to condition VPRS in SD, well see SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD and SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing for more details). If you do a valuation different by plant, stock and margin calculations are different.
    What are the elements that you must considerer?
    1. If the materials is purchased, think if the same material have different conditions (different conditions in MM, for instance, indirect costs as shipment costs, different vendor with meaningful differences in prices or discounts). It's indiferent that it is a raw material or a material that you can sell. The raw material will work in product costing as an item in BOM. First of all, considerer the impact in stock value, second think how is delivered the materials to customer from plants and their impact in profitability analysis. If there are meaningful differences for the same material between different plants and you give the same value in all company, depending of the mix perhaps your customer is fooling himself about this issue.
    2. If the material is manufactured, talk with your CO consultant and what kind of impact could have different routings, BOM and prices of raw materials between plants. Same considerations for valuation of stocks and margin.
    Finally, in the page 10 of the document you can read
    Valuation must be at Plant level in the following cases:
    u2022If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
    u2022If your system is a SAP Retail system
    I hope this helps you
    Regards
    Eduardo
    PD: I forgot, talk this with the CFO of the company, taking in account the restrictions (when it must be plant level).

  • Blocking the closed Company Codes to postings.

    When companies are sold and you want to close the company and block postings to this company, how can this occur? We have been told the only way is by either creating a Posting Period variant or  block the GL Accounts for posting at company code level. 
    Is there any way such as a checkbox which simply closes company code and no postings to this company are allowed?

    Thank you for your response. We are aware of this, but would like to   block the closed Company Codes to postings in another manner than closing accounts under the company code.
