Changing Vendor Account group

If the account group was set up incorrectly and did not get noticed until there was master data against the account- what can be done to correct the situation?
Thanks
raj

Hello Rajendra,
You wanted to know what to do so I replied accordingly.
btw, the Account groups determine:
- The type of number assignment (So if the new account group has the same number then I dont think it will impact),
- A number range for assigning account numbers
- Which fields are displayed and whether their entry is optional or required (field status) when you enter or change vendor master data (You need to take care for manatory field for new account group).
- Whether the account is for one-time vendors (I dont think it will get affect)
Rest of the thing will be fine.
Try to change it and see if it throws error for any data inconsistancy.
Hope this helps.

Change vendor account group

Hi All,
Is there anything I need to check before changing vendor account group (with different number ranges) in XK07. User has selected account group wrongly and also posting done for those vendors.
I think there would be no effect in open items.
Thanks,
Vishal

Dear Mr. Visal,
please be so kind to review the documentation regarding the transaction XK07:-
"Changes to the account group and the accompanying partner functions
can only be made from a lower level to a higher level. For example,
this means that a sold-to party cannot be assigned the function of a
payer as fields which have already been maintained for this sold-to
party would have to be masked. However, you can assign the sold-to
party function to a payer."
Therefore, you can change from an account group with fields set as
not visible to optional fields. However, if you are trying to change
an account group with optional fields to other account group with any
of this fields invisible, the system will give you the error message
"You cannot make this change because the new account group
   results in the following field groups being switched off:"
And you will not be able to change the account group. This will happen
although you have not updated a value for these optional fields.
Really it depends on which is the field you want to change; there are
some fields that could produce some data inconsistency (reconciliation
account, withholding tax data, and so on).
Please consider that the account group controls the successing
screens and field layout plus it controls whether the numbering
should be internal or external.
Please take in consideration all the above information before doing it.
I hope this can help You.

Unable to Change Vendor Account Group

Hi All,
             Due to certain client requirement, Account group for few vendors was changed from ABCD to BLCK (Blocked). Now the clients have come back and asked for the Account Group to be changed back to ABCD.
However, when I go to T-code XK07, it displays the below note prior to change.
Vendor - ELMORERA
Acct Group - BLCK
"when changes made to acc. grp, this is to be maint. for"
Company Code    Company Name    Purchasing Org   Description
X000                      X Ltd.                     1000                 Purch. Org
However, once I enter the account group (ABCD) to which it needs to be changed to, I get below information.
"you cannot make this chage because the new account group results in the following field groups being switched off".
Group   Group name              Modification Group   Group Name
D310      Purchasing Data       041                           Account with Vendor
Can someone please help me with this. We have about 1300 vendors with whom we are facing this problem.

Questions: Vendor Account Group and Purchasing Organization

Dear SAP experts,
I'm just a novice user and would like to have your advice on the following questions:
1. How to change Vendor Account Group
Vendor has been created already with wrong account group. Can we change account group??
2. How to add Purchasing Organization
Vendors have been created without purchasing organization. When we try to raise contract, error msg. mentioned that "There is no purchasing organization for this vendor number"
Can we add purchasing organization to that vendors?? If so, could you pls let me know the procedure.
Thanks with rgds,
Su

Hello,
Changing Vendor Account Group is not possible. Block the wrongly created vendor (FK05) & create a new vendor under correct group (FK01). Transfer all the balances from wrong vendor to new vendor code.
Use Transaction code XK01 to extend the Vendor to purchasing organization. XK01 would allow to enter purchasing view of the vendor.

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.

Change customer / vendor account group

Hi,
I want to change the account group of a vendor. I tried XK07, but I then get a message about "Critical field groups" that would be switched off in the new target account group and then SAP doesn't let me change the account group.
The "critical field groups", however, are not critical to me at all and they are not relevant to my vendor master account. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case and if it's still possible to change the account group?
Thanks in advance.

Vendor account group sensitive field mail trigger

Dear All,
We have configured the sensitive field in vendor master so that whenever someone change the sensitive field mail get trigger to that users.
Here problem is for employee vendors also that mail gets triggerd.
So we want excluse those vendor account groups from this sensitive field.
Is this possible?

thanks for your quick reply.
i have wrongly said in above mail. pls ignore mail triggering..
Whenever we are changing the sensitive field it will go and sit inthe FK08 transaction.
then some one has to confirm or reject then only it will get update that field.

If it is possible, can someone help me. If it isn't possible, can someone explain why it isn't possible.
Thanks in advance!

Change customer Account Group

Hi Experts,
We have two different account groups with different number Ranges. When i try to change the customer account group from one to other through XD07 system given the following warning message.
Customer 600021 not in External Sold-to-Party
- number range 0000100001-0000199999
Message number F2691
We have tried to change this warning message in to Error message through OBMSG and OBA5
after that also system showing warning message.
Where we do mistake? is there any other process to do the changing message?

Hi,
If You are trying to change the account group of a customer whose partner function is Sold-to-party.
Changes to the account group and the relevent partner functions only made from lower level to higher level.
Example:
Sold-to-party cannot be assigned the function of a payer(Higher level to lower level) because you are trying to change the higher level partner function.
Your can assign sold-to-party function to a payer (Lower level to higher level) because you are trying to change lower level partner function.

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.
Regards
