Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record
Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,

Payment method not defaulting from Vendor master data
Hi All
I am running F110 payment run. In the Payment proposal SAP is not pulling payment method from vendor master data for some invoice. we have like two payment methods , Sap is defaulting payment method for one type of payment method and not defaulting for the other...What could be the possible reasons?( for both the invoices We are not maintaining any payment method)Hi
In F110 if payment methods are different from vendor master data and payment methods mentioned in parameters tab it will take payment methods from parameters tab, so that you have to give both payment methods in parameters tab so that it will consider both. -
Creation of Vendor Master Data
Hi,
In my company they are currently using this process to create Vendor Master Data: The Vendor Master Data is created in the Production Server and refreshed to Development Server and to Quality Server, using ALE.
Is this the right process? If not can you let me know the steps to create Vendor Master Data.
regards,
rajHi Raj,
ALE and IDoc is the best way to transfer master data between SAP system. They have excellent error handling and reprocessing capabilities (Recommended by SAP).
In order to automate the vendor master data transfer, you need to do the following steps.
1. Create Logical System (if not available) for PROD, QA and DEV system.
2. Create RFC Destination (SM59) from PROD to QA and DEV system.
3. Create Distribution Model from PROD to QA/DEV (BD64) for message type CREMAS (Vendor Master).
4. Create Partner Profile (WE20) for message type CREMAS in PROD, QA and DEV system.
5. Execute transaction code BD14 (Send Vendor) from PROD to QA and DEV system.
6. To monitor the IDoc, you can use transaction code WE02.
If you are not familiar with ALE/IDoc setup, please work with technical folk.
Hope this will help and give an idea.

House Bank at the vendor master data
What is the implication of entering the house bank at the vendor master data?
When you are entering the house bank at the vendor master data it has the following implication:
You cannot effect payment through any other house other than the one mentioned at the vendor master data and the payment program will ignore the ranking of the bank selection configured in the APP.
See the F1 help documentation
The key for the house bank is used if the customer/vendor is always to be paid by the same house bank. The bank selection of the payment program is cancelled with this entry.
In otherwords it is like hard coding the house bank in the vendor master and it does not offer any flexibility in the APP. -

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 AdvanceHi 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...

LSMW Upload vendor master data problem
Hello,
I have to upload vendor master data with LSMW.
I'm using a batch input with the program RFBIKR00.
In the step "Create batch input session", I get the following error:
FB012 Session 1 : Special character for 'empty field' is /
FB007 Session 1 session name VENDOR was opened

FB013 ....Editing was terminated
Does anyone know how to solve this error?
Kind regards,
FrankHi ,
first up all u r not mentioning the tcode and other mandatory field values...just in the field mapping and conversion step...
click -->Extras -->Layout and select all fields
and give default values to field TCODE,and other fields also and also check whether mapping conversion with regard to source is correct or not...
If still any doubts i can clarify

Vendor Master Data LSMW problem
Hi,
I have vendor master data in XLS file. Created project in LSMW with standard batch input object 004 (Vendor Master Data), Method (0001 standard) and Program name RFBIKR00.
Other constant data:
BLF00-TCODE = 'XK01'
BLF00-LIFNR = 'FOX1220' ... 'FOX1221' etc
BLF00-BUKRS = '3800'
BLF00-EKORG = '2000'
BLF00-KTOKK = "LIEF'
other all data like (Bank detail, purchasing data, accounting data, dunning data) are coming from that single XLS file.
Problem while creating Batch Input Session: <b>"Vendor FOX1221: data retention at plant level not allowed"</b>
Why??? Reading and converting data is fine.. but still problem terminates the BDC.
Please help me out
Thanks,
Chetan ShahHey it is solved, just making WERKR (Data retaintion at Plant Level) = 'X'

LSMW - Vendor Master DATA - IBAN management
Dear SAP guru's,
I'm trying to integrate the IBAN in vendor master data with my LSMW (batch recording techno).
unfortunately, I do not have the IBAN information in structure BLFBK
BLFBK Vendor Master Record Bank Data (Batch Input Structure)
DO you know how we can integrate an IBAN by LSMW? Batch recording seems to be too risky..
And I do not have the BBAN info, I only receive the IBAN...
Thanks for your comments,
KarimHello,
With batch, it is not possible to have IBAN details updated in Vendor master data. This should be done manually, when the IBAN
number is entered system will do the validation checks as per the legal requirements using the specific Function modules for each country.
Nevertheless, there is batch input program RFBIKR00 which is used for processing the following data:
- Creating and changing vendor master data
- Creating bank master data
Please, note that the program RFBIKR00 cannot import master data which contains the usual account number and the IBAN at the same time. There has to be either an IBAN or an account number in the imported file.
There are 2 scenarios how to get all the data imported, depending from
the source system:
1. If the source is also an SAP system, you can import the account numbers using the RFBIKR00 and then transport the IBANs separately using the ALE distribution (RFIBAN_ALE).
2. If the source is a non SAP System, then file contains always two entries for a payment instruction. In the first one the account number will be imported, in the second one the IBAN. The functionality "IBAN without account number" is prerequisited and has to be active in the target system. In this scenario 2 payment instructions would be created in the vendor master(LFBK), one with the account number, another one with the IBAN.
I hope this helps to resolve the problem.
Thanks and regards,

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.

Vendor Master Data - General and Company Code Data
Hi,
We are collecting vendor master data requirements. The requirements that I have are for Vendor General Data, Company Code Data (Accounting Info, Payment Transactions, Correspondence etc.) and Purchasing Org Data. Out of these 3 groups I can only see Vendor General Data that is mapped to CREMDM04 in SAP supplied syndication maps. I am wondering if someone could tell me how much effort is involved to first create the structure in MDM for Company Code data and Purchasing Data and then map these additional fields to CREMDM04 fields?
Why is it that Company Code data and Purchasing Data is not mapped in pre-delivered syndication maps?
Thanks in advance,
MThanks Shruti for your reply.
I agree with you. However, our client is really pushing for Company Code Data and Purchasing Org data along with Vendor General Data. Now, this is something that is new to me to do. I have never done this kind of customization before.
I would really appreciate if someone from SAP could give me their recommendation and also help me answer the following questions
1. Is this doable to map and syndicate Company Code data and Purchasing Org data along with Vendor General Data
2. Is it possible to then extract the tables that hold Company Code data and Purchasing Org data from ECC and bring it back in MDM to update MDM tables (that we are going to create for this data)?
3. What's the effort involved in this customization (Considering that we will be extending our repository structure, extend the syndication map, extract new tables from ECC for MDM, create import maps for these tables to import Company Code and Purchasing Org data into MDM)
Regards,

In Real Time Master Data team will look into Creation of the Master data.This will be as same as how you create in a training class.For every external party with whom we do business must be created as a Vendor or a Customer.The system offers seperate functions for maintaining Customer Master Records and Vendor Master Records depending on the requirements of your Organization.
A Complete Customer Account consists of General Data at the Client Level , Company Code Segment and Sales Area Segment.These Data records can be maintained Centrally for all areas or seperately for Financial Accounting and Sales and Distribution.
A Complete Vendor Account consists of General Data at the Client Level , Company Code Segment and Purchase Organization Segment.Vendor Master Records can be maintained Centrally for all areas or seperately for Financial Accounting and Materials Management.

LSMW Upload vendor master data
I am uploading vendor master data via a batch input in LSMW (program RFBIKR00).
I uploaded all the vendors for 1 company code.
When I try to upload the vendors for another company code, in the step Create Batch Input Session I get the error: Trans. 1 XK01 : Acct already exists; general area not being processed, ... Data in table BLFA1 cannot be processed.
When I try to manually create a vendor for another company code via tcode XK01, I have no problems. But when I create an existing vendor manually for another company code I dont have to add the information which is contained in table lfa1.
Therefore I tried to upload the vendor, which has to be created for the company code, with a / in the data for table lfa1. But this doesnt work.
Has somebody a suggestion to solve this problem?
ThanksIn the similar thread you said:
"If the vendor exists in LFA1 but not LFB1, use XK02 with the structures for LFA1. Then use XK01 with the structures for LFB1."
It is not possible to use XK02 in order to create the vendor for another company code if the vendor already exists with a certain company code. You will get the error "Vendor xxx has not been created for company code yyy".
The problem is that LSMW requires a mapping onto structure LFA1, but when the vendor already exists for a certain company code, LSMW returns in the step "Create Batch Input Session" the error: "Trans. 1 XK01 : Acct already exists; general area not being processed, ... Data in table BLFA1 cannot be processed".
