Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

  • Business Partner who is vendor and customer

    Please explain me the logic behind the concept that we should not buy from customer and we should not sell to vendor in [SAP Business One|http://www.brio.co.in/sapbusinessoneoverview.aspx]. In real life it happens frequently that we buy and sell to a same person. Is there any work around? or is there any update 2007 where we can sell and purchase from same business partner.

    HI Muneem,
    When a question is 'why', it is quite hard to answer.
    I try to help you with 'how' questions.
    You can post Development Requests on the Development Forum:

  • Same Business Partner as both Vendor and Customer !!!!

    Hi,
    Our client has a customer, say XYZ, who is also a vendor to our client. XYZ sends them Raw Material and bills them for that. Our client sends him Finished goods and bills him for that.
    When he pays our client, the amount for multiple bills of Finished Goods delivery, he adjusts the Purchase Bills with reference to his A/P Invoice Number in the total A/R Invoice value for those bills.
    How to adjust that and handle this case in SAP B1???

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

  • HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

    Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

    Short answer, yes.
    Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    We are using print program SAPF130K and SAPF130D for vendor and customer respectively.
    My query is can we bring even the cleared items alongwith the open items in the same print program???
    Now we have line items of open line items only?? As per our exploration into the program... we get only open items..
    Also we are using SAP10 and SAP11 as the correspondence type.Kindly advise as to correspondence type should be changed so that it can print both the open and cleared items?
    Please reply ASAP as it is very urgent.

  • Can I use one external hard drive for 3 of my Macs?

    I have a 2007 white MacBook, a 2011 MacBook Pro, and a 2013 MacBook Air.
    I want to be able to transfer all of my precious family photos off of my MacBook and Macbook Pro onto an external hard drive and then wipe those computers clean, and then I want to be able to backup and wipe clean my Macbook Air so that I can update it to Mavericks.
    Can I use one external hard drive to do this for three of my Macs? Will it be compatible with all of them? And will I still be able to use the hard drive with my Air once it is updated to Mavericks?
    Which hard drive do you recommend?

    1. Yes. Note that anything you want to keep should be on at least two drives in case one of them fails.
    2. Yes.
    3. Yes.

  • Can I use the same Oracle Repository for the new FDM App

    Hi All,
    I have to uninstall FDM and install and re-configure FDM again and then restore FDM Apps present previously.
    For this, Can I resue the same Oracle Repository for restoring the FDM app on newly installed instance.
    As far as I know, I need to take the backup of that repository and then drop the Repository and create again and use it for new application
    Please suggest, are there any other ways to do this/..
    thanks in advance

    You can reuse the repository. You will need to <Add Application> instead of <New Application>

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

  • Additional field Profit Centre for vendor and customer

    Hi All,
    We have created a web Dynpro application for posting documents for one of our client. The application is designed to park the document and has various level of approval before it is posted.
    The issue we are facing now is that they have done a screen enhancement for the customer and vendor line item where they included an additional field for profit centre for cross profit centre posting, which could be only posted directly.
    Since the Web Dynpro application is designed to park and post we are unable to store the profit centre value passed in the customer or vendor line items. Someone please let me know if we could store the value temporarily till the document is posted.  We do not have profit centre field in the standard table for the vendor or the customer.

    The Trading partner field in customer and Vendor master is used to identify the affiliated companies involved in intercompany transactions.
    The trading partner field is copied into the account receivable and payable transactions from the customer and vendor master. The Trading partner field also appears in the line items of the offsetting clearing accounts via substitutons.
    The trading partner field subsequently can be used during consolidation to eliminate intercompany receivables and payables from the balance sheet and eliminate Intercompany sales and expense figures from the P&L statement.
    Customer or vendor invoice: Trading partner information is captured from the customer and vendor master.
    Invoice receipts against clearing account and transfers with clearing: While posting Invoice receipt during an Intercompany transaction, the invoice receipt can be posted to a clearing account instead of expense account. The selection of open items must be restricted to those with a certain trading partner when posting a transfer later on, as the trading partner is copied into the transfer line item.
    Customer and Vendor Payments: If document types for payments are configured to allow for more than one trading partner in a payment document then the trading partner is copied only on the customer and vendor line item and not on the offsetting entry.
    Assets transferred between company codes: If an asset is transferred between group company codes, two accounting documents are generated in each of the involved company codes. The trading partner of each document must be set to the company id of the other company code.
    When goods are received from group company code the trading partner is picked for the inventory and GR/IR line items from the vendor mentioned on the order. If invoices are open as on the balance key date then group-internal provisions are created from the GR/IR accounts. These provisions can later be eliminated in Consolidation system.

  • Tcode for Vendor and Customer Trial balance

    Hi,
    I want to generate Vendor trial balance & customer trial balance. I want name of each vendor and customer with the normal and special GL balance written against it
    Ex:
    Vendor A     -    Rs.100-
    Vendor B     -    Rs. 2300-
    Vendor C     -    Rs. 1000
    Total -- XXXXX -
    > This should match with my Vendor Reco account total.

    If standard report does not suffice your requirement, then create your own.
    FOR vendor USE K in transaction code instead of D.
    Hello,
    The following example I have given is for customers.
    The only difference is in transaction codes. For customer you go to FDI1, for vendor you go to FKI1 (reports).
    For Customer you go to FDI4, for vendor you go to FKI4 for forms.
    Remaining all are the same.
    Hello,
    Go to transaction code FDI4
    Select Form Type RFFRRD20 Line item analysis
    Give your form name and description
    Structure (Two axis) - as defaulted
    Click on Create
    You will have lead column
    Delete the rows 2, 3 and 4
    Double click on column 1
    Enter the customer numbers from 1 to 999999
    First column double click (A)
    Slelect following values
    Due date analysis 1
    Days for net due date 0 to 30
    Give the short name, medium name and long text for the column.
    Repeat this step in next columns like 31 to 60, 61 to 90, 91 to 120 and 121 to 99999 days etc in other columns and select due date analysis 1. (B,C,D,E)
    Create one more column by way of formula. To create a new column you need to double click on blue line. Put formula add all five columns you have created above. (F = ABCDE)
    You prepare one more column with
    Due date analysis 2 (G)
    Now you prepare one more column add (F+G) = This will be total open items = over due and not due.
    Now go to FDI1 and prepare a report - assign the form created in FDI4 to the report.
    Characteristics you need to select are
    Account Type (Select Account Type as D for customers)
    Currency
    Customer
    Document Type
    Special G/L Ind
    Company Code
    Change the output types and options according to your requirement.
    Refer FDI2 and FDI3 for other standard reports created.
    Refer FDI5 and FDI6 for other standard forms created.
    Save your report and execute.

    Ravi
