Changing vendor number in BE PO

Hi all,
As you know, if you need to change the material code when the PO is being transfered to the R/3 BE system, you can use the B31I_MATERIAL_READ driver to adjust/change the material code number.
Now, we need to change also the vendor number when the PO is being transfered to the back end...
Do you know how can i achieve that? Is it possible to use a driver or BADI (like the material driver) to change the vendor number while its being transfered to the BE?
Thnx in advaced...
BR,
Gerardo.

Thank you guys for your helpful answers, i have reviewed those BADI's and it seems that they will be very useful for me...
Yann, There's no problem with follow-on documents cuz we are homologating materials and vendors with MDM, so SRM will work with MDM codes and R/3 will work with old code numbers (before MDM were implemented).
Scenario:
R/3 (PO Reqs) -> (BADI's*) SRM (SC's)
SRM (PO's) (BADI's*) -> R/3 (PO's)
SRM <- MDM/XI -> R/3
Vendors/Materials
*Those BADI's will be switching codes between SRM and R/3 therefore for both systems will be transparent cuz follow-on documents will have always their own master catalog codes by each side.
BR,
Gerardo.

Change Vendor Number on Invoice

We are seeking ways to better control changes to vendor numbers when inputting an invoice based on 3 way match. We are especially concerned about situation where the PO has already had a receipt, and the vendor number is changed.
Does anyone have a solution that they like? Does anyone use alerts, reason codes, limiting of the functionality or monitoring reports?
Thanks for the information.

hi,
If the PO has already had a reciept,this is case of a ratification.To avoid this situation you can set the PO in the GR "Mandatory";so the ratification is current with the transaction.Here the ratified PO should be released immedietely-thus enabling the three way match.
Changing the vendor number is a very serious thing.By suitable authorisations this should be prevented.You can achieve this using T/code:PFCG.Work with the basis consultant for effecting security settings.
Hope this helps.

Mass changes in PO's - Change vendor number

Dear Expert,
I would like to know your advice.
I have one clinet requiremnet , they want to do some mass changes in a PO's - they want to change the vendor code in a purchase orders.
these purchase order just created and not any inventory or financial posting has been done.
Some PO's are released completely and some are not released completely.
They want to change the vendor , the new vendor which they want to incoroporate is having different payment terms and also the partner function may vary.
The new vendor is from same location and country.
I tried in MASS but it is giving some error messages like PO is still faulty and not allowing to make a changes.
My Question is :
1.If we want to do the chages then is it possible?
2.If yes then what are the min things needs to be consider while doing the changes ( which data or fields of vendor master from old to new vendor)
3.is there any other way to do changes other then MASS.
4.Is it a advisable to change a vendor ( if possible) or shall i write to the client that cancel the all existing PO and create new PO with ref to old PO for new vendor.
Kindly advise on above.
Thanks

Hi ,
Thanks for your response.
I would like to add on my existing things,
The PO's those are partial release , I can cancel those partial release and can able to bring to the original status( w/o any released)
Is it possible if the PO is not at all released then we can make a changes.
Appreciates your earnest response.
Thanks

Change of vendor number in quotation

Dear fellows,
I have a query regarding with RFQ process.
Suppose a quotation is created for a project. In terms of this quotation several vendors could bid with their price. If there is not a valid vendor master record, i.e., has not yet created in SAP, we use a unique one time vendor (vendor number starts with 90*) while creating quotation. If one time vendoru2019s quotation is approved among other bids we create a valid vendor master record through XK01 (vendor number starts with 20*).
Once quotation is created vendor number field becomes grey, not changeable, is there any possibility where we can change vendor number in quotation from unique one time vendor to actual vendor number; i.e. 90* => 20*
Regards
Metin

Hi,
Why you want to chnage vendor number in quotation?
RFQ sends to vendor and vendor send quotation and you maintaion the quotation with vendor number. After mainationing quotation, why you want to chnage vendor number in quotation.Ok. If somehow system allow you to change vendor name in quotation, Is your business process allow you to do so OR how your business owner will react! No business process /owner will allow,rt*
If process allow, then go for concept creation of quotation and maintaning of quoation without vendor and then go for creation of PO.

Get vendor number BAPI or functional module

Hi,
I recently found one standard functional module(or BAPI) to get vendor number if i pass user ID and i forgotten to make a note of it.
I couldn't able find this functional module(or BAPI) again SRM system. can anyone help in finding this functional module(or BAPI).
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi
What's your detailed requirement ? Which SRM and R/3 versions are you using ?
Incase you want SRM local Vendor details use the Function module BBP_PARTNER_GETDETAIL
Otherwise, go for META function modules to fetch R/3 data from SRM System.
Meta functions (similar to BAPIs) are generic call to external system. Depending on system kind and release, the function to call is different. The bapi that the Meta will effectly call in a backend is defined in table bbp_function_map.

Change Vendor (XK02) in Tax Number 1 field

HI
When we try to modify field Tax Number 1 (Tax information) in XK02, system show a message " Tax code 1 is not valid". We were checking any enhancement but not success. The point is, we are un Venezuela and we need to change Tax Number 1 value from V-NNNNNNNN-R to VNNNNNNNNR but no posibbe. Is there something we missing for checking and put this customizing?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Are you really sure about this change?
If you check documentation of SAP you'll see:
Venezuela
Tax code 1 (registro identificación fiscal - RIF) is 12 characters long
and contains two hyphens at character 2 and 11. The first character of
the tax number contains a letter, only J, I, V, G or E are permitted.
Example: V-12345678-9, make a corresponding entry.
Tax code 2 (Número de identificación fiscal - NIT) is numerical, has no
gaps and a maximum length of 11 characters.
Is it a legal change in venezuela?

Change the Agreement details using the vendor number

Hello All,
My requirement is to get the Agreement number and line item details corresponding to a vendor from a Z table.
I am able to read the vendor number using BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and method GET_DATA
Now i want to set the agreement details. I have fetched the details from the table, but i am not ablt to set these details in PR.
I tried using method SET_TEXT but nothing works.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Tarun

Hi,
what exactly do you mean by setting agreements details? Is it one of the long texts on item level? If yes then you should be able to update long text on time level using method using method IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~SET_TEXT. I've done this before but for PO and I did not have any problems. I assume that PR and PO are really similar. Which BADI method do you use to update items?
Cheers

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.

Vendor Number not coming in partner functions in vendor master

Hi,
I am facing a peculiar issue with the vendor master.
I am creating a vendor having a account group z001 to which the number range is assigned as internal (only) and in the Partner Schema the vendor VN is defined as mandatory and checked for higher level.
When entering the data on reaching the partner function tab the first line item where we enter ahve the vendor details of VN it is coming blank in the non-editable mode where we have the vendor number cell. I noticed as I number range is internal till the vendor is saved the number is not assigned so in the partner tab in the first line item the number is blank.
On saving and going back to vendor in change mode I am finding the partner VN line item in non-editable mode and the vendor number is blank and I am not able to enter the number also.
How to overcome this issue.
Please guide me..
Thanks,
Vengal Rao.

Hi Diwakar,
Thanks for the response. As it is mandatory it is coming , but as it is defined as internal number, the number is assigned to vendor after saving only.
So if I got back to same vendor and see what is the partner no appearing in the first row, I see the number as blank, when I try to add the same number in change mode it is not allowing as the realted line ie first line is in non-editable mode. Here VN , and description VENDOR is coming but number not coming, and I am not able to add the number also.
This is my issue.
Thanks,
Vengal Rao.

Vendor number range

Hi friends,
Originally, we set up vendor account number to be external from 10000 to 19999. The last vendor number we created was 10051.now I unchecked the external box and make the number range to be internal with same range . When a create the vendor with the change, I expect the system will give me a number of 10052 after the creation. However I got a stop sign message say: "10000 has been created" . Creation failed. Then I tried the 2nd time, this time the stop sign error message says"10001 has been created". It seems I have to go through 51 times (my last vendor number was 10051) to be able to create a external vendor number.
Is there any way I could do to solve the problem?
thanks in advance,
Linda

Hi,
Check in SPRO (T.code XKN1) .
Here for the number range, in change mode (by clicking status button)you can maintain the current number as 10051. Then you can try to create a new vendor master and the system will pick the next number internally.

Vendor number in General ledger

Hello team,
we are in ECC 6.0
we need vendor number in general ledger report fagll03
in the layout of FAGLL03 it is available. but it is not updating the field with vendor number.
how can i get.
regards
Sri

Dear,
It will not be displayed in the general ledger, you go the reconciliation account of the vendor and execute for the period required. Now you can see the vendor in the field of assignment, if the field is not available then add the field from change layout button in fbl3n.
In FAGLL03 and double click it will take you to line item display, where you can see the vendor code in assignment field.

Vendor Number Range Conflict SAP ECC and CRM 2007

I need to load SAP ECC Vendor data from SAP to CRM and have setup most of the configuration as required. However I have an issue, the vendor number range used currently in our SAP system is already in use in our CRM system and has been for some time (for Prospects and Contacts). What is the best approach to dealing with this issue...
My initial thought was to see if we could have two different numbers for the same vendor in ECC and SAP CRM
eg SAP Vendor "50000001" equates to CRM "VEN50000001"
Is such as approach supported? Can you point me to the documentation that shows how such an approach could be implemented. What approaches have others done to address similar issues?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
By the way we are on CRM 2007 sp4

Hi Eddie,
SAP Note 1044637 - Customize Vendor Numbers
Implement the code present in the attachment. You can
change it according to your own requirements. The example code
suffixes 'VEND' before the first six digits of the vendor
number before it is downloaded to CRM.
