Config.same contact person to customer and vendor

Hi,
Can we configure the same contact person for Customer as well as vendor? If it is yes, what are the configuration steps?
Usually we will configure contact person for customers in VAP1 and MAP1 for Vendors. Like, is there any chance that we can assign same contact person for both customer as well as vendor?
Thanks,
Aparna

Same Business Partner as Customer and vendor

Hi All

Thanks

Hi Vijay,
This facility is not available in sap b1. You have maintain two different business partners seperately.

Same customer and vendor number

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, but I'll give it a try......
We are using BP and want to use same number for both customer and vendor. How can we achieve this?

The synchronisation is not available in ECC 500.
FS-BP has a synchronisation solution based on call transaction in batch-input. It should be part of the core.
But I don't know if there was a solution to synchronize the numbers without modification.
Anyway you can implement a BAdI in the customer master transaction to use your own numbers (CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA)
BUT make sure the customer/vendor number will be linked to the correct address
The saving process of the address is trigerred independantly (before or after the customer/vendor transaction is commited). As a result it is very easy to create orphaned address and loss of data accuracy for the vendor/customer.

Bpartner - Link between customer and vendor if its the same face

Hello
As I understood the primary idea to keep all business partners together is to make a link between differant roles of the same partner (like link customer and vendor if its the same face). Please correct me if I am wrong.
The questions is : how this link is done in CRM (how the customer is linked to vendor if its the same face).

How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

Hi Forum,
This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
Question?
How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
Thank you all very much.

Hi Syed,
As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.

Bala

Customer and Vendor are same

Hi All,
We have a scenario where vendor is also a customer.
i have entered customer in vendor master and vice versa.
And also i have clearing with vendor in customer master and vice versa.
But i have posted an entry
Posting key 21-vendor
posting key 50-revenue
but i am unable to see the open item in FBL1N and FBL5N by selecting the customer items and vendor items respectively instead of normal items,
Did i miss anything?
Thanks!
Rajesh

hii
It is but obvious that it will not show in FBL5N as it is customer balances.
u have posted a vendor transaction so in FBL1N u will be able to see.
the logic is to clear the open item and present a summeried balance whether to take or pay..
but the proecedure is in both the master books say customer and vendor its appearing as a seperate entitiy with sepearate numbers.
so it has seperate balances too when taken as a customer and vendor. in this it will not show u balance in customer balance.
but when u try to clear the open items at that time it will reflect the total means what is to be pain and wht has to be collected &(-) get adjusted and u need to make payment or collect the balancing amount.
this is the logic for the configuration u made. so system is behaving in right manner.
please assign points if helpful.

Clearing between customer and vendor invoice with F110 transaction

Hello,
I have an issue related to the functionalities of the transaction F110.
I'd like to clear the vendor invoice with the custome invoice.
Customer and vendor records are linked properly and the flag 'Clrg with Cust.' is set on vendor and 'Clearing with Vendor' is set on customer.
Both the invoice are in USD and the amount in document currency of the vendor invoice is > of the amount in document currency of the customer invoice.
I entered in both the invoice the same payment method (outgoing payment method).
The error that I can see in the proposal log is related to the customer invoice and is:
Payment method selection for items due now to the amount of USD 500,00
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
..none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
information re. vendor xxxxxxxx / customer yyyyyyy / paying company code TS01 ...
.. payment not possible because of reported error
According to the log of the proposal the vendor invoice can be paid.
If I click on display proposal and double click on the customer invoice (with red light) I can read the note:
No pymt possible because items with a debit
Following the settings of the payment method used:
Payment method in the country
- Payment method for outgoing payment selected
- Bank transf. selected
- allowed for personal payment flagged
- Bank details flagged
- Document type for payment XX
- clearing document type XX
- Use classic payment medium program selected
Currency allowed: This table is empty (will mean that all currencies are permitted)
Payment method in company code
Minimum amount: 0,01
Maximum amount: 9.999.999.999,99
Distribution amnt: 0,00
Single paymentfor marked item selected
Foreign business partner allowed selected
foreign currency allowed selected
Cust/vend bank abroad allowed? selected
Bank selection control "No optimization" selected
Can you please help me to understand the error?
I'm afraid it is a problem with the bank but I don't understand why the payment of the vendor invoice is allowed and the customer invoice not.
Thank you very much in advance

Error Message AM057 while deleting contact person in customer master

Hi,
Recently, our company consolidated the SAP platforms for two regions and it is single instance now. The data is migrated to the new system by SLO. After this we are facing an issue while deleting the contact person in customer master. When we select the contact person and delete, we get a message saying "Specify a valid person use (PERSON_REFERENCE)". When we press enter, another entry (above the intended entry) gets deleted.
The performance assistant shows nothing but message no. AM057.
Based on the couple of OSS notes I have searched, I checked the table ADRVP entries and found two entries for that contact person. Both entries have the client number appearing in the field APPL_KEY.
The first record is having old client number and the second record is having the new client number. I presume, we are seeing two records because the data was migrated by SLO. But what is confusing is, both are having same addr.no. and marked as X for Owner (Flag: Adress owner object reference).
Data in table ADRVP looks as under.
Cl.     Person            Seq. No.      Table      Field           Application table key      pers.addr. Key      Addr. no.            Owner

Can there be more than one entry with same addr. no. in table ADRVP for the same person number? Can someone share what is wrong with deleting the contact person in customer master?
Thanks,
Balaji

You should share the OSS note which you got from market place.
Have you checked this note Note 445825 - Error message AM057 when deleting a contact person ?
It has the reason and solution.

Customer and Vendor is one entity

What is the financial exposusure from buying and selling to a single entity like when the customer is also the vendor in respect to MDM

Hello Rogersap
If i got your question.....
One person(who sell or buy something in(from) your company) may be at the same time customer and vendor.
In ERP we have two tables for - debitors and creditors.
One person, dependence of it business activity, may be in debitor and(or) creditor tables at the same time.

Profit Centre not picking in customer and vendor line items

Hello
When we are posting the entries for customer and vendors and when i want to check the balances of customers & Vendors profit center wise it is not showing any balance but if i will check the same transaction in the P & L A/C it shows me the balance there Profit Center Wise
Can we please tell me where i have to maintain the settings so that i can get the balances of customers and vendors Profit Center Wise

Hello,
Unless you are on New GL with document splitting functionality, no items on vendor and customer will be posted with Profit Center.
You run 1KEK periodically to transfer the receivables and payables to PCA.

BP which is both a customer and vendor

I have a BP which is both a customer and vendor. The BP owe us USD262.50, so now I want to do a offset by paying only the balance of 1897.50. How do I create this entry? Thanks.

In SAP you cannot have the same BP as the Vendor and also the Customer. You would need two seperate BP's. But if it a one time thing as explained earlier you may use a JE. Or you may directly go to Incoming / Outgoing Payment and make / receive payment either from Vendor / Customer.

How to change Number range to Contact Person in Customer Master Record

Dear all,
We are maintaining contact person details under contact person tab in customer master record.
Currently contact person is being created using VAP1 transaction.
Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?
and where can we change the number range of contact person.
I have searched a lot to find the solution for this. Please help me to resolve this issue. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
To your first question: "Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?"
Yes, you can enter the contact person directly in the customer master in the contact person tab. A number is generated automatically.
To your second question, go to transaction SNUM, and there use object "PARTNER". Here you can configure number range for contact persons.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Business partner as customer and vendor

Hi,
I am trying to process an variable interest rate instrument wherein we need to create a single BP for both customer and vendor.
The FI customer and FI vendor has the same number( external) in our system.
I have done the required CVI settings and system does automatically create the customer as BP or vendor as BP, DEPENDING upon which master data is set up first in FI.
I do not see both vendor and customer as integrated in BP under the same Co.code, though individually it works.
. Our requirement is to create one BP for both the Vendor and Customer.
Please let me know what i am missing here.
Thanks,
Vamsi
