Creation of multiple PO IDOCs for multiple vendors in one directory

Question

Hi ,
I got a scenario to download all the vendor related PO and RFQ IDOCs to one common directory .i.e EDI Port path: /sap/xxxx.I cannot create partner profile LI for each and every vendor. Would be appreciated if any one can suggest alternative for this.
P.S : Tried by creating output type with partner function LS and partner profile LS.It was not working.
Cheers,
Raj.

Hi
For the scenario described by you, you need not have to make any config settings. The G/L account defined in SPRO (Valn and Automatic Acct Determination) is used for Automatic Account determination i.e. when you do not enter a specific G/L account during Goods Issue.
As can be seen from your query, you want Consumption account to be posted to different G/L accounts but the material is assigned only to 1 Matl type. There are 2 ways to solve this problem:
1. If you know the G/L accounts that the system should post to before hand i.e at the time of Matl creation itself, then you can configure Split Valuation and then assign more than 1 Valuation class to the Matl. For each of these Valn classes, you can configure Automatic Account assignment. By doing this, at the time of Goods Issue, the system will ask you the Valn type and will accordingly post to a seperate G/L account.
This is possible only if the no of G/L accounts per Matl is less (preferably 2-3)
2. If you do not know the G/L accounts before hand or the G/L accounts per Matl consumption is too many, then it is better to go for Manual Automatic Account assignment.
In this procedure, at the time of Goods issue using Mvt type 201, you can specify the G/L account and Cost Centre in Th Account Assignment Tab.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks
