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.

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).

meir

Multiple communication methods in vendor master data

Hi,
We are implementing ECC 6 for our client in denmark. Client wants to send purchase order conformations and invoices should be faxed to vendor and payment advices should be sent through E-Mail ID. I have maintained standard communication in vendor master data as Fax and inputed Fax numer also and maintained E-mail ID in other communication of vendor, But system is not picking up fax number to send the purchase order and invoice details. Instead system is picking up E-mail ID and sending the data. It is not picking up standard communication method FAX. Payment advices are sent through E-mail, that was working fine.
Give your valuable inputs

Vendor if not maintained at the company code level

Hi,
System should not save the PO, if the vendor has not maintained at the company code level. How to achieve this?

Sattuj

> 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.

Report to know activities in customer accounts at company code level

Hi All,
Any idea about any report available in SAP to get the balance in customer accounts (total) with the break up in terms of activities at overall level. Activites means sales, payments, debit note, credit note etc...(any kind of posting in customer account).
The break up is not required at customer level, it is required at company code level which means that it contains all the customers under that company code. We plan to do some trend analysis from this report. Report in GL accounting / AR will do.
Thanks in Advance,

Mayank

Vendor Master Address at company codelevel

Dear Experts,
We have facing frequent vendor address changes in our vendor master records.
in the standard scenario,vendor address maintained at client level.but in our client
we have 4 company codes,vendor code is same for all company codes address is differs.
suppose the company code XXX is in Delhi he deals with YYY vendor in Delhi.
another company code XXY in Mumabi,they deal with vendor YYY( one of YYY Branch) in Mumbai.
users in different company codes are changing address frequently,how to avoid this frequent changes.
can we maintain address at company code level.please suggest.
Regards,
Varun

Hello
Vendor address are maintained at client level only. and Address details are saved in LFA1 and ADRC table.
Suppose you are having 4 compnay codes , create XXX vendor for one compnay codes and Extend it to different company code same adresses.
System will not allow to change adreess for individuly. better create 4 different codes and address

PO created instead posting block set & vendor not extended to company code!

Dear friends,
I have a vendor created for a purchasing organisation in a company code. there are two problems that i am facing.
1) I have blocked a particular vendor completely. Even then system is allowing to create the PO using this vendor.
2) This vendor has been created for a particular company code & has not been extended to another company code. Even then it is allowing to create the PO using the vendor centrally blocked for creating purchase order in another company code.
There is a service PR specifying this vendor as desired vendor & the vendor is ticked for auto PO. Could this be a problem? but i think even then it should not allow to create PO that too for a different company code.
Thanks & Regards
Tasleem Arif

1) I have blocked a particular vendor completely. Even then system is allowing to create the PO using this vendor.
Answer: While creation Purchase order, purchase orgnization mandatory for vendor, if vendor blocked at company code level means system will not check Company code at the time of PO creation. here in PO creation use of company code is to recognise Currency of the company code.
2) This vendor has been created for a particular company code & has not been extended to another company code. Even then it is allowing to create the PO using the vendor centrally blocked for creating purchase order in another company code.
Answer: While creation of Purchase order, Comapny code is used for only currency recognisation , system will not check vendor is created for comapny code or not? but vendor should at Purchase org level.
If vendor is not defined at company code , then it will give an error at the time of invoice only. not at PO level.
At PO level Purchase orgnisation is very important

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.

I have checked over and over ahain but everything looks ok. Could sme1 let me know what I could be missing please
Thanks a lot
Edited by: Joe Ujoh on Jul 22, 2008 5:27 PM

Hi Joe,
You said you checked everything again and again and is OK; to start with, does the vendor exist in CoCd - pl. check using T code XK03 and see if you have anything in Company Code data.

Is it possible that we generate material requirement in MRP at company code level?

We want to generate material requirement in MRP at company code level, what is the possibility or any work around.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi Mirza
This is not possible on the standard system. The highest planning level on MRP is the plant.
It has been discussed on the following thread, where BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA was proposed as a solution, however, the logic to be implemented on this BAdI is very complex:
MRP Run considering Stocks for Multiple Plants and Requirement maintained for Plant Cluster
If you want to know more about the BAdIs available on MRP check the following document:
BAdIs for MRP
Another alternative is to use flexible planning to plant at company code level, then disaggregate the planning to the plants and transfer the result to demand management and MRP.
See the following thread for details:
