Delete vendor master record

Dear All,
We need to delete some vendor master records and following the below procedure for deletion.
Step1:   Flag for deletion for the vendor to be deleted in XK06
Step2:   Maintained logical file and assigned path in T- code FILE (Physical path is maintained as F:\usr\sap\T3P\DVEBMGS00\work\{<FILENAME>} taken from T code AL11from the directory DIR_HOME)
Step3:   In SARA, maintained object as FI_ACCPAYB and in configuration maintained logical file name
                Selected write option, maintained variant with the vendor name ,selected the check box General master records and saved
                Executed the archive program
Step4:   In job overview write job is shown but not delete job (ARV_FI_ACCPAYB_WRI20090427155628)
We followed the above procedure for material master and it was deleted well but unable to delete vendor master.
Please let us know if there is any other procedure to delete vendor master or we missing anything in maintaining the logical file or in archiving procedure.
Note      : No transactional data exists for these vendors to be deleted.

Dear,
Deleting Vendor master is a big task even for experienced Consultants - I feel.
Usually you can change vendor name as DO NOT USE or DELETED. If any user try to use this vendor the name will appear as above.
Please check the OSS note:
Note 206812 - User exit for archiving MM vendor master data
Note 122641 - Vendor change documents not archived
Note 77670 - FI - Master data archiving Delete deletion flag
Note 84913 - Vendor master; deleting invalid partner functions

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.

Hi Buddy,
try t-code XK99- Mass maintenance of Vendor Master
1. select the fields tab
2. select the Deletion Flag-LFA1-LOEVM, then execute
3. select the multiple selection, then from here you can either insert a textfile (see green call-outs icon) or paste the Vendor codes directly. execute again
4. select central deletion flag (X)
5. press fill down icon (the column), then save
after this you can validate your changes in XK06
hope this help you.

Can we delete vendor master

Dear All,
can we delete vendor master records ?

regds,
CB

Hi CB,
Let me first convey you one concept that , Not only Vendor Master, We cannot delete ANY Master Data once it is created in the SAP System. The Only thing we can do is to set the Deletion Flag. That's all. For setting Deletion Flag for Each Master Record, there is respective transaction.
As you are inquring about Vendor Master
T. Code is XK06
Enter Vendor, Company Code and Purchasing Organization. In that select deletion Flag options which are A) All Areas Or B) Selected Company Code.
With option B) Selected Company Code functionality, you can block for vendor for one particular Company Code and for rest company codes, this vendor will be active.
I hope I have resolved your queries.

How to delete a master record with transaction data?

Iam able to delete master record(GL/Vendor/Customer)through OBR2 when there is no transaction data in those respective master records. Despite of clearing all open items in a particular vendor Account, Iam unable to delete that master record. Please suggest me how we can delete vendor master data having transactional data.
Thanks in Advance

Hi...
Not sure whether this helps....you can mark the vendorrecord for deletion and later try to delete it.
Logistics >> Materials management >> Purchasing >>
(new menu) Master data >> Vendor >> Central >> Flag for deletion
try using XK06/FK06
Assign points if useful

Delete Vendor Master Data xk01

I have created Vendor Master in XK01 including purchase organization.
I want to delete it permanently. I have not made any POS and data.

Go to Tcode : SARA, enter the Object FI_ACCPAYB
Then :
1 Maintain write variant, it depends, if the vendor data only create for Purchasing Level only,than you can choose MM data.
When you archive MM data for vendor master records, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
· The deletion flag is set.
· Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
Purchasing documents
Purchasing info records
Vendor partner roles
2. Maintain Deletion variant--> start deletion process --> this step will completely remove data from table.
If then some dependent data of above mention still exist,then you need also to close /archive the dependent data also.

Delete Vendor Master Data in a Purchasing Organization

Hello Experts
I want to delete a Vendor Master Record that I have created, but not mark for deletion, I want to delete from the system.
I saw the transaction OBR2 to delete master redords, but I found that it is only possible to delete vendor for a Company Code. So how can I also delete the view of these vendors for the purchasing organzation?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
You can set the deletion at t.code via XK06 used to set the Flag for deletion .
Company code data,
Purchasing organisation data,
General data,
All area
Here,Check-box used to flagged the Vendor master to set the flag for deletion.
By using transaction OBR2 can set the deletion flag for the vendor master data not at purchasing and company code level.

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

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

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

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.
Thanks and Regards

Edited by: Ravi Narayan Padhi on Jan 11, 2012 11:45 AM

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
Ramana
