Duplicate vendors and customers

Good morning all.
I have a question about unique problem I need to consider. Essentially, I have merged two company codes which resulted in duplicate vendors and customers. At this point, it's easy for purchasing to select the right record, but in the future, it would be nice to eliminate the redundancy. The problem is, no computer system will tell me duplicate records as they may be entered differently. For example, customer A may be located on 123 Pleasant Lane, but it may be entered as 123 Pleasant Ln. in the other record.
I would appreciate your feedback if you have encountered this problem and your strategy resolving it.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Sasa

Hi,
I encountered this situation and I cannot think of a standard tool available to get you this. Either you build a query or download the data into an excel, then sort by the name and let business identify the redundant ones and then flag those for deletion. Before you do that, make sure the settings related to the vendor/customer that you are going to keep are correct.
You may use transaction MASS to set delete indicator.
Hope it helps.

Consolidating In/Out Payments for BPs who are vendors and customers

Hi
We do business with a number of companies who are both vendors and customers and I am wondering if there is a better way of dealing with contra payments..
At the moment I would do the following:
I want to pay a supplier's November AP Invoices but they also owe us (a lesser amount) for November AR Invoices....
1. I create an incoming payment for the amount of the AR Invoices but deposit the payment to a 'contra' account instead of our current account. (No actual funds have been received from the supplier/customer)
2. I create an outgoing payment in the amount of the balance of the 'contra' account which pays off some AP Invoices in full and one AP Invoice in part. I choose the 'contra' account as the payment account.
3. I create a second payment for the balance of the part-paid AP Invoice and the rest of the due AP Invoices. I choose the current account as the payment account.
4. I send the supplier/customer 2 separate remittance advice notes along with a single cheque in the amount of the 2nd payment..
Is there a better way of doing this which doesn't rely on me remembering to check whether a vendor is also a coustomer and whether they owe money for the relevant period before I do a payment run?
Thanks for any advice (SAP 2007A)

How to app run for foreign vendors and customers please tell the steps

hai every body this is raj
i am asking how to create the foreign vendors and how to apprun for foriegn vendors please tell the steps
and another questions is how to run app for customers t

Lets say your company code is in country IN. Every vendor you create (using XK01, lets say) with a country other than IN is a foreign vendor for your company code. To enable APP for foreign vendors, make sure you check the checkbox 'Foreign Business Partner Allowed' in 'Payment method in company code' in T Code FBZP. If the vendor invoice is in a foreign currency, make sure you include that currency as permitted currency for that payment method.
To run APP for customers, your 'Payment method in country' in FBZP must be for incoming payment.

Change FAX number for all vendors and customers in a massive way.

Hello,
I need to change the FAX number for all the vendors and custormers in Q01 so that every form should output through an specific test fax-printer. The problem is that I don't know which field I should change and how can i do it in a massive way. I have heard something about catts but i don't know almost anything.
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Luis Álvarez.

Hi Luis,
Use tcode XK99 for vendor mass change, select the Fax no field. You have to take note that this changes will be only 1 fax number for all vendors.
Else you have to use BAPI for mass change.

Is there a way to set off contra amounts for vendors and customers?

Hi i would like to know whether there is a way in B1 to set off the contra amounts for a business partner who is both a customer and a vendor in B1? If so how?

Hi Savindi,
version 2007 fully supports multiple BP internal reconciliation, you are hence able to offset transactions of 2 separate BP codes against one another.
Both 2007 A & B are in general availability, please see the appropriate landing page on the SMP.
All the best,

Enable Muliple Vendor and Customers in F-44 and F-32 Transactions

Hi All,
Are there any exits or BTE's which can enable entering of multiple Vaues for Vendor or Customer numbers in F-44 & F-32 transactions.
TIA.

Hi Hussain:
I am sure you would have tried this option already. Just wanted to give you this transaction, in case you did not. You can try F.13 (Automatic clearing) to mass clear the vendors/customers line items. Though this transaction won't give you all the features F-44/F-32 gives but if mass clearing is the only requirement you can try F.13 for collective.
I dont see any BTE/Enhancment on F-44/F-32 as the way these transactions work is specific to invididual account.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks.

Dual Control feature on Vendors and Customers

Hi !
The way I understand this functionality, the vendor is blocked for payment only. So I can create a PO, Goods Receipt, Invoice Verification without any warnings or error messages. Isn't there a way to get the system to block these activities as well until the change on the master record has been confirmed?
On the customer master this feature seems even more useless since 'payment block' makes no sense for a customer. If a sensitive field is changed on a customer, at what point will the system stop the process? I was able to ship and invoice without any messages. Obviously the system is not going to prevent cash application
Maybe I should post this on the SD thread... anyway, any advise will help.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Hi Anisha ,
As far as i understood u don't want to carryout any procurement activities for a particular Vendor.
In that case u can use Trs :XK05 and block for company code / Pur.Org.
If you want to block vendor for a specific material then u can go for source list ( Trs :ME01)
Incase of customer using Trs: XD05 u can carryout the required activities.

Transfer vendors and customers from dummy profit center to other profit ctr

Hi all
No. of vendor /customer transactions are posted in dummy profit center-
How to transfer from dummy profit center to other profit centers line itemwise or balanceswise
thanks in advance
joseph david

Hi Joseph,
Acturally at the end of certain period, payables/receivables will be updated with the profit center using the TCode: 1KEK. the program searches for the profit center in opposite line item in each document and updates the payables/receivables line item with that profit center.
But in your case you want to transfer the payables/receivables from dummy profit center to other profit center. You can transfer the amount from one profit center to another profit center using the TCode: 9KE0.
Hope this helps you...

Different Exchange Rate Type for Vendors and Customers Invoices

Dear Friends,
We have configured different exchange rate types for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable thru T Code OB07. What are the additional Config steps required to ensure that the respective buying and selling rates will apply to Accounts Payables and Receivables. We do not want to stipulate the exchange rate types in Document Types as this special exchange rates are applicable only for one of the Company Codes.
Would appreciate your help in this regard.
Regards,

Hi,
Then you can use a different document type for those company codes and can default the exchange rate type there.
OR,
The alternative wya is to use the substitution in OBBH/ GGB1 for those company codes with exit programming.

LSMW upload for Vendor and Customer Open items

Hi Experts,
1. I wanted to use to use LSMW to upload through FB60 for Vendor Invoices through recording, but the problem is Amount in Document Currency is 'USD' and Amount in Local Currency is 'INR'. While recording it is not allowing to input values in Amount in Local Currency while my upload file has values in both Amount in document currency as well as Amount in Local currency. Any help with this regards?
2. Do i need to open the all fiscal years which are there in upload file?
3. Any better option to upload the Balances with LSMW?
Any useful information will be Highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rajkumar,
To upload Open items of Vendor and Customers, in LSMW, you will have two files header and line items with a link linking both the files.
Now, Suppose if you have to enter an amount in USD, then in the header file, enter USD in the currency field and give Exchange rate also in the header file and give the exact exchange rate which should be the value of your Amount in Local Currency INR.
In such cases, you do not enter directly the amount in local currency field.. It is a calculated figure..
Yes, depending on the posting date, all those fiscal years need to e open for which you are posting the data.
LSMW is a tried and tested method for uploading open items.. Simple Go Ahead...

Vendor and Customer Clearing

Dear Guru,
I want to that why we want to clear the vendors and customers open items before making payment through F-13 or F-44 or F-32
I am quite confused. Kinldy clearify my doubts.
Thanks in advance
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi
Using the account clearing function, you choose and match those open items from an account that balance out to zero. The system marks them as cleared by assigning them a clearing document number and the date on which they were cleared (clearing date). The clearing date can be the current date or a date that you enter yourself. The clearing document number is the number of the most recent document involved in the clearing procedure.
Since postings do not have to be made during account clearing, documents are usually not created. However, the system might have to make clearing entries if line items from different business areas are part of the clearing procedure as shown in the illustration below. In this case, a document is created, and the number of the clearing document is set in every item cleared.
Conditions for Clearing
Generally speaking, you will use the account clearing function for bank sub-accounts and clearing accounts. You would use the check number to select, for example, an item in the Checks Receivable account to clear it against the cashed check.
Automatic ClearingInstead of clearing items manually, you can also use a program to clear them automatically (provided no new items have to be created to clear the open items).
For more informations please follow the attached link.
Hope it will help you

Need to restrict view of DIRs assigned to material, vendor, and customer

Hello,
SAP standard, version ECC 6.0. Different plants in use with requirement for differnt authorizations.
I know that DIRs can be assigned to material master. However, the problem is that it's client level data. Now there is a need to implement DMS with materials, vendors, and customers.
Problem is that company operates in different countries and with different plants. One material/customer/vendor is created and then extended to cover different plants.
Material 1111 has a specification assigned to it, e.g. document type ZSP with DIR 1000001111, this document is at client level.
Person A from plant 1000 can display and maintain it (1000001111) but person B from 2000 must not see this, she has DIR 10000011113 instead (and person A should see this).
If person A has authorizations which are limited by the plant type because of the usage of MM already, do these restrictions apply also to DMS? I haven't found a definite answer for this.
I cannot set a authorization object based on document type and maintaining different uthorization groups is the last option because of the vast number of users.
The same question is for customer. if there is e.g. a contract assigned to customer, can the view be restricted by distribution channel or another field provided by SD (standard solution).
Vendor master is the 3rd major issue. How to limit access to documents?
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pia

Hi,
Can you please elaborate what is the object you mean. I have serious problems with system and cannot check it.
Thanks,
Pia
