Create Vendor Master Record

Hi,
We are merging with two other companies. The two companies are going to shift to SAP. We requested some mock up data for them to setup our master records. I was asked to setup vendor master record. Can some guide me of the most important looks I should be looking/asking for them to determine if I have all the information that is required to create a vendor master record. We are just creating a prototype data at this time.
Thanks

Hello
Assume you would like to create 2 VMR's for 2 company codes.
In my opinion, check the master data fields one by one, and maintain uniformity in the basic mandatory fields.
Recon account could also be same, payment terms could be similar, and so on.
In any case, there would be clash or overlapping of any transactions, as both the vendors belong to seperate company codes.

Creating Vendor Master Records from HR Master Records

Dear Experts,
I have been using t-code PRAA to create vendor master records from HR master records. The client would like to have one vendor number for a group of employees (in this case external contractors all working for the same company). The system won't allow me to link several PERNR to one LIFNR (i.e. error message).
Is it, however, possible to do this?
Thank you.

Hi ,
PRAA has one to one relation ship , means it created 1 vendor for 1 employee .
If you are using PERNR then you cant use one vendor to may PERNR .
Either create them as individual vendor or else have a manual control system in place where in you will have to create a dummy PERNR and then allocate all the cost to this invidual vendor , if you are paying the check to only 1 contractor for say 100 contract employees you can use this .
else it is a better mechanism and control to have 1 is to 1 in case of employee to vedor .

Create Vendor Master Record from HR Master Record

Hi All,
I am running PRAA Transaction Code, While running I am getting this Error.
Employee for whom a vendor master record already exists.
Personnel Number missing in company code segment.
Then I went to SM35 but did not found any batch.
Please can anyone explain the entire process.

Hello
In the report RPRAPA00, there is parameter ' 'Create new company code segment for existing vendor master records' as a checkbox under the 'Initial setup' maintenance mode, and it offers you the following option:
If there is a vendor master record already available for a predefined personnel number, but it does not have a company code segment for the company code in which the employee is situated for the key date entered,then program RPRAPA00 supplements the vendor master record with the required company code segment.
In your case, the company code already exist, so it will not create or add a new one with this option.
This only works for "First creation" and not for updating. You need to use "update" or "change" in the setting to do this.
Thanks and Kind Regards

Partner roles in Vendor master record

Hi all
can some one explain me how to enter the partner roles in vendor master record
In sap help i didnt understood this point
"When working with partner roles, you must maintain the following settings:
Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners of a vendor that are to be entered in that vendors master record."
what does it mean
suppose i am creating vendor master record 1234
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1234       /*ordering address
i have to click 1234 in BA and select 'parner' at the top to enter the ordering adress right ...
what is the 'Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners' mean
it has to be like this?
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1235       /*ordering address
1235 vendor master record is created earlier and ordering address maintained ??
please help me in this record, any user manual or some screen shots to explain how to maintain partner roles in vendor master record
regards
Bhushan.N

Hi Sasi ,
What Ramkrishna explained is correct. I will try to illustrate it with the example.
Suppose you are creating a vendor 1234 which is Head office of the supplier where you need to place the order. But goods will be supplied from Pune plant so you should enter 1235 againts partner function GS , here 1235 is seperate vendor master record with Pune plant details & it must exist in the system so that you can use it as a partner function Hope this has cleared your doubts.
Similarly you vcan create other partner functions like payee,ordering party etc.

Anand

What Function Module can be used to create vendor master data in SAP R/3?

Hello -
I've been trying to find a standard SAP delivered BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in ECC 6.0. Up to this point I have not been able to do so. With SAP MDM solutions and SRM solutions it seems logical that SAP would deliver a standard BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in the ERP/R3 environment (similar to the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA for creating material master data records).
I have been able to find BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE but this only calls the online transaction and does not offer much additional functionality beyond what transaction code XK02 already offers.
The next best alternative appears to be IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR but our preference would be to not use IDOCs for the project we are working on.
Can anyone offer any insight or personal experience on how vendor master records have been successfully interfaced with SAP R/3? Did you have to use IDOCs or create a custom RFC call? Thanks for the help!

Edited by: Rob Burbank on May 14, 2009 10:43 AM

Quite a gap in the BAPI arsenal. I think the options are IDoc, which you don't want, good old program RFBIKR00 (requires flat file for input, can be used via LSMW) or DIY (very complex).

Infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record

Hi All,
pls help me what infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record in AP module.
Customer require when Create Employee then system automatic gernerate Vendor Master.
pls help us.
Thanks

Hi,
PRAA works absolutely fine. I have external number range for vendors.
There is an option so that you can create HR accounts in vendor accounts
Path:Accounting> Financial accounting>Travel
management>Personal-Related Master Data> Create Vendors (tr.code PRAA)
Look at this description:
From the HR master data, this program creates a batch input session for
maintaining person-specific vendor master records.
The report can process vendor master records as follows:
o Initial set up (create/add missing company code segment)
o Uupdate (change completely according to vendor and HR reference)
o Change (only according to HR master data, for example, name
Block
The following infotypes from HR master data are taken into account for
the key date specified:
o Actions (Infotype 0000)
o Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001)
o Personal Data (Infotype 0002)
o Permanent Residence (Infotype 0006 Subtype 1)
o Bank Details (Infotype 0009 Subtype 0 or 2)
All other required data is taken from a reference vendor that you can
specify as a parameter when you start the program. Note that for the
reference vendor, reference data must exist for all company codes that
are applicable according to HR master data. Since program RPRAPA00 cannot
assign vendor master record numbers externally when creating
vendor master records, you must be sure that the reference vendor is
assigned to an account group that requires internal number assignment.
If no house bank is specified in the reference vendor, this is
determined via feature TRVHB (Implementation guide for 'Travel Expenses'
-> Transfer to Data Medium Exchange -> Set up Feature for Determining
House Bank according to the employee's organizational situation.
The link between the HR employee's master record and the corresponding
vendor master record is set up by entering the personnel number in the
company code segment of the vendor master record.
General program flow
Program RPRAPA00 creates a sequential work file in the specified
directory. Ensure that you use a global directory that can be accessed
by all application servers; a directory is automatically proposed. The
work file is later transformed into a batch input session by the
subsequent program RFBIKR00, which is started automatically.
In test run mode this program delivers information messages which
document the creation of a batch input session. Since each information
message must be confirmed manually, the test run should only be
performed for a small number of personnel numbers.
In productive run mode, however, the program RFBIKR00 is automatically
started as a job; the information mentioned above is stored in the job
log in this case.
Initial setup of vendor master records
Corresponding vendor master records are created from the infotypes
listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
vendor. During the process, the personnel number is stored in the
company code segment of the vendor master record. Persons who already
have a vendor master record with corresponding personnel number are
rejected in this run.
If a vendor master record already exists for a personnel number, but
without a company code segment for the company code in which the
employee exists at the key date entered, the program adds the required
company code segment to the vendor master record. You must however
activate the checkbox "Create new company code segment for existing
vendor master records".
The HR master data used is the info type record valid on the key date
entered.
Update of vendor master records
The corresponding vendor master records are updated from the infotypes
listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
vendor. Persons who already have a vendor master record with
corresponding personnel number are rejected in this run. The system uses
HR master data from the infotype records valid for the key date.
Change vendor master records according to HR master data
All HR-specific data is changed in the vendor master records for
personnel numbers that have changes since the date recorded under '...
with last change since'. The system uses HR master data again from the
infotype records valid for the key date specified.
Block vendor master records
All vendor master records which correspond with the selected personnel
numbers are blocked for posting.
User exits
For the following situations, two empty routines are supplied in the
includes RPRAPAEX and RPRAPAEX&H5F001 which you can adapt to your
requirements.
o The employee's last name is entered in the sort field in the vendor
master record. If you do not want this to happen, you can program
the situation you want in the user exit routine
'set&H5Fmc&H5Ffield&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
o If the address editing in the vendor master record does not suit
your requirements, it can also be changed. For this purpose you have
the user exit routine 'set&H5Faddress&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
o If you want to assign numbers to the vendor master records to be
created via external number assignment (for example, vendor master
record number &H3D personnel number), you can adjust the user exit
routing 'SET&H5FVENDOR&H5FNO&H5FBY&H5FUSER' (in include RPRAPAEX&H5F00). Note
that
the account group of the reference vendor must also have external
number assignment.
Note that in each case a thorough knowledge of the programming
language
ABAP/4 is necessary.
Set up vendor master records in a separate system
The distribution of personnel master data from a HR system to an FI
system is a prerequisite for creating, changing, and blocking vendor
master records.
In the section Master Data Distribution (link to separate HR unit) of
the ALE IMG, an explanation is given regarding the way in which the
FI
System is supplied with the relevant employee data from the HR System
In the FI System, report RPRAPA00 described here can be used to
create,
change, and block vendor master records.
Other wise try with VPE1 t.code.

Can VMD_EI_API handle Create, Edit, and Delete Vendor Master records?

Hi Everyone,
I have a development that requires to create, edit, and delete vendor master records through a webportal ui. Technically, it will be a background process in SAP because it must not have a dialog screen. In my search so far, there is no standard BAPI or Function module that can handle this one.
Can the class VMD_EI_API handle the requirements?
Regards,
John

Hi,
Yes, You can use this class to create/modify/delete vendor master data. You can find in SCN documents with example how use it.

Error while Importing Vendor Master records

I get the following error when importing vendor Master records into the MDM repositorry
Cannot import qualifiers because the qualified lookup field is not mapped.
I noticed that the file I'm importing contains 1000 vendors. However the qualified lookup table "PHONE" for the vendors contain only 388 records.
After I imported the records I found that there was only 389 records in the repository.
I'm using standard map provided by SAP.
I ran the import again but this time I unmapped all fields for the qualified update.
Now the Import Manager uploaded the remaining 613 records.
I would like to know whether how I can load 1000 records in one load rather than having to go through the file twice.
This is important since I want to use the import manager server for my loads.
Thanks
manoj

Hi Manoj,
Try the following options.
1. In the Import Manager, Select Configuration->Options
set <b>"Merge qualified links using matching qualifiers value to Off"</b>
2. In the Map Fields/Values tab in Import manager, select the qualified field in which you are trying to import, right clik on the field->select Set Qualified Update -> Update -> Select All available qualifiers into Matching qualifiers->
New Links- Create
Existing Links -> Update (All Mapped Qualifiers).
Hope this should solve your problem.
Thanks and Regards

Detect potential duplicate vendor master records

Hi all,
Our external auditor has the following comment:
'Match codes and message control can be used to help identify duplicate vendor records. Fields such as Name, Address and Country can be set as searchable fields in order to detect potential duplicate vendor records. The message control (with identifier 144) in SAP can give a message prompt when duplicate vendors are identified.
We noted that your system had not been configured to display a warning message if the name or address, etc of a new record is identical to an existing vendor record.'
Any idea to implement this?
I searched for message 144 and found that there is a similar message in message class F2: 'Vendors found with same address; check', but I cannot find where to trigger this error message.
Please help.
Best Regards,
Chris.

Solved - Group Fields for Vendor Master Records in IMG

This was the solution.
The new field's data element I added to LFB1 did not have the "change document" field checked. I made that change and now that field shows up in IMG.
Hello all,
I added an append structure to the table LFB1. This structure has 1 field. I then created a "Modification-Free Enhancement of Vendor Master Record" to add the new LFB1 field to the vendor master screen, edit and display screens. This is the 3rd time I have done this. So far so good.
Now our functional analyst went into IMG to add this new LFB1 field to a "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records" which we have done 2 other times.
The new LFB1 field does not show up in the list of possible Table-fields.
There must be some other step I am missing.
Does any of this ring a bell? We are on version 4.7.
Thanks
Bruce
p.s.
This is the IMG path for adding 'Field Groups' to vendor master fields.

Hi Vandana,
There are several tables that are contain Vendor Master related data which can be used for extraction to BW. Some of the tables which can be useful for you are:
LFA1 : Vendor Master (General Section)
LFM1 : Vendor master record purchasing organization data
LFBW : Vendor master record (withholding tax types) X
WYT3 : Partner Functions
LFBK : Vendor Master (Bank Details)
LFB1: Vendor Master (Company Code)
ADRC: Addresses (Business Address Services)
ADR3: Fax Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADR6: SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADRT: Communication Data Text (Business Address Services)
You may use the Data sources mentioned in the previous update from Venky above namely :
0VENDOR_ATTR --- for master data attributes
0VENDOR_TEXTS -- For texts
Since the fields that you are using are from different tables so its better if you go for a Generic Data source where you can use the fields as per your requirement.
Thanks
