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.

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.

Table for Customer and vendor open balance on a key date

Dear All,
Can anyone please let me know Table for Customer and vendor open balance on a key date. We are developing one customized report.
I have checked with the below table :
Customer-KNC1, KNC3,BSID, BSAD
Vendor-LFC1, LFC3, BSIK, BSAK.
But these are not working properly for all customers and vedors. Also, in open items, there are items with clearing documents.
Plesae let me know, how to go for it.
Please suggest.

Hi
Use BSID and BSIK for open items
And pass company code, year and from date and to date range in Posting date selection option

Customer and Vendor ageing report by ItemGroup@%@#$%@#$??

Hi All
How do we get Customer and Vendor ageing report by "ItemGroup"?
I know there is a standard report in Business One which gives you the ageing report by Business Partner Group. But I dont know whether it is possible to get by "ItemGroup". Please help me and excuse me for weird requirement..
Thanks

Hi Gordon,
that query is actually designed for getting the purchase reports with all the excise and other tax related information per line item in the marketing document. my requirement is something different than this where the client wants to see the ageing report by Itemgroup.
Since ageing is based on the invoice due date it looks difficult to bifurcate the each individual line item, its group, its line total and their due date. means we should add all the open invoices' line items to be grouped with its total based on the due date. any other way to solve this?
thanks

Report for Clearing between Customer and Vendor

Hello -
My client needs a report that will allow her to see customer and vendor items on one report, BUT grouped together.
I know that FBL1N and FBL5N allow for you to click vendor items, customer items but they don't group them together. What I mean by this is if you run FBL5N for a range of customers and click the vendors at the bottom on the selection screen, the report puts ALL of the customer items for the whole range first then ALL of the vendor items.
Is there anyway to sort these fields so that you see the customer and vendor that are related to eachother together even if you run this for a range of customers?
Thanks!

Hiya,
Can you check if SAP Note 934329 applies in your case?

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 create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

Hi gurus,
can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
Please give me the steps.
Thanks
Sasikanth.

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

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

Hello,
What did you customize in the synchronization options?
Cross-Application Components > Master Data Synchronization > Synchronization Control > Synchronization Control > Activate Synchronization Options?
Please check the same.

Profit Center in Customer and Vendor Line item

Hello Guru
i have one doubt we have activated the new GL in one of client for profit center level. while posting through any of financial transaction particularly customer and vendor there is no filed for input parameters for profit center. while booking these kind of transaction system pick up the dummy profit center. even our field status group for gl master data and posting key made as optional PCA filed not displaying. client want it should be pick up automatically from line item and should be input parameters.
how to resolve this issue please let me know.
waiting for your reply
Thanks & Regards
Laxmi narayan

Hi,
You are saying that u have activated New G/L, but are u gone for document spliting also or not? if you have activated document spliting customer and vendor line items not at all required any profit center because it will petch the profit center from oppsite line item automatically for giving tallyed balance sheet at profit center leavel, so no question profit center required or going to dummy profit center because dummy profit center will be locked automatcially once u activate document spliting.
if you have not activated document spliting then customer and vendor line items may require profit center its depends on your field status settings, if you feel that it should not go to dummy profit center then maintain some profit center in 3keh & 3kei settings for customer and vendor reconcliation accounts, so that it will post to that profit center.
Thanks & Regards

Intercompany Netting between Customer and Vendor

Hi All,
I have 2 queries regaring netting of customer and vendor open line items.
1. Is it possible to have netting between vendor of one company code with customer of another company code. Is yes, how do we do that.
2. It is very much possible to net off vendor and customer for the same company code, but manier times payment proposal ( F110) contains amount in both outgoing and incoming payments, so in order to aggregate the amount to determine final amount to be delievered or recieved we need to manually re-process the same using Edit Proposal option. Using that option we can manually do this. But is there any way in Standard SAP that this manual re-processing is not required and this could be automated.
Kindly let me know your views on the same. Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
1) Yes it is possible. It is done in the same way, except Intercompany Automatic Posting - Clearing Accounts (Tcode OBYA) need to be configured. We are using clearing account inorder to achieve the same.
a) Customer invoice
b) Payment to customer invoice using the clearing account in comapnay code B (At this time Customer invoice in company code A will be cleared).
C) Vendoer invoice in Company code B
D) Clearing Vendor invoice in company code B using clearing account belongs to company code B.
E) At this time, there will be a Debit and Credit amount on Clearing account.
F) Clearing Debit and Credit using Automatic Clearing SAPF124.
2) There is no standard SAP delivered rather, you will need to customize to achieve your requirement using BDC.
Thanks

OBYA - Customer and Vendor Clearing

We all know that in OBYA you cane specify G/L accounts as well as customer and vendor accounts for clearing between company codes. Can any one explain what is the best way to follow and why? How do you clear these Open intercompany customers and vendors?
- Thanks in Advance!

Hi Nutan
The following two are common processes for setting up inter company clearing accounts
1. Define 2 GL accounts in OBYA for each company code combination, if you would post these intercompany transactions manually
for example
1) Inter company Receivables (say ICR0001)
2) Inter company Payables (say ICP0001)
put the above accounts in each receivable or payable account fields accordingly
2. Define customers/vendors for each company code in all other company codes
Here the recon account for such customers would be an intercompany receivable account (say ICR0002)
and recon account for such vendors would be an intercomany payable account (say ICP0002)
Usually you would like to have a separate account group for such customer and vendors
this kind of scenario would not need OBYA setting
You can also use both of the above scenarios simultaneously as well

WBS Element in customer and Vendor invoices

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to have wbs element in customer and vendor invoices, which will allow to see project wise invoices in FI reports?? If yes, how? And if no, what is the general business process for such scenario???
Thank You

Hi Mohit
I Believe this is possible yet not practical for the reasons there is no one to one match between WBS and Customers / Vendors. You can have multiple WBS for a single customer invoice / Vendor invoice.
Expert advice will follow soon

Material vs. Products and Business Partner vs. Customer and Vendor

Hi,
Just wondering if there's any SAP recommendation for using 'Products' repository vs. Material repository. Similarly, is there any SAP recommendation for using 'Business Partner' repository vs. Customer and Vendor repositories.
Can anyone would like to shed some light on what is recommended with pros and cons? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mins,
you can group the repositories in the following way:
Group 1
- Material
- Vendor
- Customer
Group 2
- Product
- Business Partner
Repositories of Group 1 are related to the corresponding R/3 (ERP) data models. The repositories cover a large part of the R/3 fields and can be used to integrate your R/3 systems with MDM as they contain import and syndication maps for R/3.
Repositories of Group 2 are related to the common CRM and SRM data model. Those repositories have been developed with the goal to integrate CRM, SRM and R/3 with MDM. Unfortunately the structure of the Group 1 repositories was not capable to fullfill this. Group 2 repositories contain import and syndication maps to all remote systems (CRM, SRM, R/3). But those repositories are not as large as the Group 1 as the first task of the Group 2 repositories was the data consolidation scenario.
There is no general recommendation which repository to use. It depends on the project setup on customer side:
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, it makes sense to use Group 1
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, but you want to consolidate your customers and vendors in one single repository, you should use the Business Partner Repository because this one can hold both object types
- If you want to use MDM for CRM and SRM, you should use Group 2
So a general recommendation could be to check the Master Data setup and landscape within your project and then to choose the corresponding repository.
Kind regards
Michael
