Issue in vendor creation workflow...

Hi,
I am trying to upload data from a XLS file for vendor master and thru workflow a notification goes to 3 people who need to fill in the accounting, purchasing and logistics data and the finally the approver will approve it and vendor will be created.
It so happens that when the accounting person tries to enter the accounting data, for the standard acct group YBST, he is forced to enter the withholding tax code. This is not happening when the same vendor is created manually thru XK01.
Now this vendor is created for a company code and that does not need to have any withholding tax code.
We tried a couple of config where for the company code this field was suppressed. This suppression was effective when I tried to create the vendor manually, i.e. I did not see this field and vendor was created. But again, when I tried thru workflow, it failed, and an error message was shown saying " Withholding tax code is mandatory for acct group YBST'.
Any tips on what could be wrong ? any more config settings to be done ? anything on the workflow front that can be analysed ? Pl advise.
thnks

Resolved. Looks like there was a custom code that had made the tax code mandatory !! I removed it. Thanks.

Workflow for Vendor Creation through a portal.

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I have a scenario here.In my project vendor is created through a portal.On submit button from portal the workflow is to be triggered.I have to design the workflow process.So can you please guide me through what all should i consider while i design this workflow?
This is my first workflow assignment so if you explain in detail it will be a great help.
I will just pen down what all scenarios i can think of:
1.Start workflow after vendor creation or modification.
2.Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
3.Check If approvers are maintained ?
4.If yes,approve or reject the vendor.
5.If no,get the agents from the custom table who can take an action on this.
This is what i can think of.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

The corresponding BO related with the vendor creation or changing is LFA1 but this Business object doeanot have any events that are related to Create and Change , so try to create a ZLFA1 and add you own events or make use of delegation concept where you will create a delegation for LFA1.
For your first isssue
Start workflow after vendor creation or modification
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving is the user exit where in you can call the workflow when ever you change or create , because this user exit will trigger when ever you try to save the vendor. so i think you can make use of this user exit
For your second Issue
Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
Make use of SWI_GET_USERS_OF_ORG_UNIT this fucntion mdoule to get the user of the ORG unit
or you can create a Rule(for determining the agents dynamically) to find the approvers.

Vendor Creation Via OAWD using workflow

Hi,
We are currently using SAP Archvelink for attaching vendor invoices to FI docuemnt via FB60 and MIRO using a basic workflow function
We want to be able to use the same process ie OAWD to be able to initiate the process of creating a vendor via XK01. The user woudl receive an authorised vendor creation PDF form that they woudl then attach to the vendor when cretaing
I have tried to configure a new document type and have assigned to object type LFA1 in transaction SOA0. However, when I try to maintain the workflow parameters to link to transaction code XK01 in transaction OACA I get the following message
Parameter TRANSACTIONCODE does not exist for method CREATE of object type LFA1
I dont know what to do (or if it is possible) to enable the "CREATE" method for object type LFA1
Thanks in advance

I solved my own problem.
I had to configure OAWS first then it allowed me to add create in SOA0

Vendor Confirmation workflow ( TS00008075 ) issue for IDOCs in Error ( 51 )

Hi All,
          When IDOCs (Basic type: ORDERS02, Message type : ORDRSP ) goes in error with status 51 & comes to SAP system it calls event u2018INPUTERROROCCURREDu2019 which is correct but it creates problem when it get re processed as it triggers event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019 resulting in firing vendor confirmation workflows to respective user ( this batch job re process each ORDRSP IDOC twice a day & hence 2 workflows per IDOC in error to clientu2019s inbox by triggering event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019).
Could you please tell me why these IDOCs are triggering event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019 in case of error ( status 51 ) when they get RE PROCESSED. These kind of Idocs must only trigger u2018INPUTERROROCCURREDu2019 once and should not create anything when these get reprocessed. Please note that these issues arise after EHP4 upgrade. Please let me know if any setting is there for triggering Vendor COnfirmation workflow ( TS00008075 ) when IDOCs in error get re processed.
Please help us , thanks.

Kartikey Rawat.

Hello Kartikey Rawat !
                    INPUTSUCCESS event gets fired just because it is configured as terminating event in the task.
                    If you don't want this event to get fired, either you can deactivate it or delete the bindings related to the event INPUTSUCCESS(doing so should not affect other two terminating events that may be required for you scenario) .
                    If you want know why it is fired, you can get to know in debug mode or check whether the event is defined through related function modules configured in WE57,BD51,WE42 AND WE20 transaction codes.
                    In WE05 or WE02 transactions, you will get error description.Based on it too, you can figure out the reason.

From Vendor Creation to Payment of Supplier (New User Here)

Hi,
Can anyone here could help me find a link or any softcopy of document that will help me learn more about the process of vendor creation up to the payment of supplier process. Right now I'm using an Oracle Dev module so we can tests for ourselves how the system works. The problem is that we are all Newbie.
Hoping that someone can help me here.
Thanks,
Ace

echo "alias ls='ls --color=auto'" >> ~/.bashrc
That will append the alias mentioned in post 2 to your .bashrc which is where aliases are stored (you should run this as user for user's bashrc and root for root's bashrc). You will need to logout or issue
source ~/.bashrc
to get it to work.
For example I've aliased ls to ls -sh to give me file sizes
edit: fixed typo

Validation of (Type of business & Industry) - vendor creation - FK01

Hi All,
        While creating vendor creation using transaction 'FK01' I get a screen namely 'control screen' where there are couple of fields called 'Type of business' and 'Type of Insustry'. These two fields have F4 help available. The issue is that the system is allowing to feed in any kind of data into these two fields. The requirement is that it should allow only those values that are available in F4 help.
      But right now system allows what ever junk values that we enter ( Not by selecting F4 ) through key board.
      Is there any validation in config to restrict the system to accept only those from F4 help ?
      The standard program 'SAPMF02K' is also calling a user exit but it is not taking any parameters like these two values. The names of these fields are
   Type of business : J-1KFTBUS
   Type of industry : J-1KFTIND
Thanks for help.
Vinod

Hello,
Looking at the name of the fields (starting with J-) it looks like you have some special development in your system?
On the control screen in our system there is only a field Industry (LFA1-BRSCH).

Automating Goods issue during Delivery creation

Hi all,
We have a requirement to automate the Goods issue creation for certain type of orders when the Delivery is getting created. The orders that need to be automatically Goods issued during delivery creation are identified based on certain plants. These plants are linked to certain output type and in the output type routine is the standard program RVADEK01 with one additonal code for automating the Goods Issue creation.
We have a custom table that holds the status of orders and there is a code in user exit userexit_save_document_prepare which changes the status of the order as closed when the goods issue is done.
But when the delivery is saved, in this case when an automatic goods issue needs to happen, when the flow reaches this user exit, the output type code dosenot get executed and the Goods issue is not done and so the custom table will not be updated with the closed status. So we are in need to findout a place where we can update the status of the order in that table.
The output type code is not executed even before the other user exit userexit_save_document. The output type code gets executed and goods issue is done after the this userexit_save_document when the COMMIT statement is executed in the subroutine BELEG_SICHEN_POST in the include FV50XF0B_BELEG_SICHERN.
I need help in finding out if any user exit or badi is called after this commit statement, so that I can add my code to close the status of the order in my custom table. Just after this commit the Goods issue happens and the VBFA table gets updated with the 'R' records for goods issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this. The ultimate goal is to find some place after the goods issue is done to update the status of the order as closed in the custom table we have.
Thanks,
Packia

Dear Siva,
As informed yesterday I changed the language from DE to EN, to match the other shipping points settings in table V_TVST, this did not bring the solution.
Please let me summarize, I am really desparate here:
This is only IM related, Not WM.
Picking lists are not printed for any Shipping Point from this warehouse, this is just a small subsidiary of my customer in Finland.
Issue is not Aut. PGI.
VP01SHP has not been configured for any shipping points, still there we do get the PR except for the new shipping point.
In the deliveries of correct processed shipping points I do not find any picking output type.
Item category in new shipping is equal to Item category in already existing shipping points, so no need to config here.
There is no picking block active.
PR creation happens once I enter the pick qty in the delivery in VL02N. This is the part that we need to have automated.
Can you please try to help me out?
Tnx & regards,
Chris

Sub-Contracting material Issued to Vendor and balance to be Issud

Hi,
Sub-Contracting material Issued to Vendor and balance to be issued against the Sub-contracting Purchase Order.
Please suggest T.Code for the same. (Same Like ME2O, but PO number should be an input parameter)
For example I have Created PO with header Material for 1 quantity which having one child item and qty say 20 numbers, and issued child material to vendor 10 numbers (541) and balance is to be issued to vendor is 10 numbers, now I want a report which gives PO number, Header item with qty, total requirement of qty for the child item with line item number, issued child item with qty and balance to be issued child item with qty.
Thanks
Ramesh.G

Report MB51 is there. Here you have to input your Purchase order number and execute but, it will show only material issued to subcontractor through 541. It will not show the balance quantities.
And there is no such standard report which will show information how much issued to subcontractor and how much is balance based on Purchase order.
You can develop a z report with the help of abaper.

Hi Dilip,
Check first have you Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group..
Check the path:
SPRO-Materials Management-Purchasing-Partner Determination-Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group
Here check whether OA is assigned with ZLOV or not...If no then click on new entries and enter partner function as OA and Vendor account group ZLOV...Save nd come out...
Now proceed...Hope it helps..
