Hi,
Sort Key can be made as mandatory through SPRO settings.
SPRO > Financial Accounting New > Accounts receivable and accounts payable > vendor accounts > Master Data > Preparations for creating vendor master data > Define Account groups with screen layout > Double click on your account group > Double Click on company code data > Double clcik on account management > Make the field sort key as required entry.

Unable to make Postal code as required field in Vendor master creation

Hi,
We have a requirement of making Postal code (POST_CODE1) field under street address of new vendor master creation/change as a required field.
In the configuration settings of vendor account group (OBD3), SAP provided Postal code City combined as only one field.
Even after making the Postal code&City field as required in the configuration of a particular Vendor group (OBD3), the system is allowing to create new vendor master under that particular group with out the input of Postal code.
The system only making the city (CITY1) as required filed but not the Postal code (POST_CODE1) even after setting Postal code&City field as required in OBD3.
Could you please provide the activities to be performed apart from the above so as to make Postal code as required filed at the time of the vendor master creation/change
Regards
Mani Prasad

Yes, it is country specific. It will affect in vendor masters as well Customer masters.
You have two options now :
Create a Transaction variant using SHD0 and Make Postal code field as required and create a custom transaction code in SE93 (Transaction with Variant (Variant transaction) and assign here and save. Your requirement will be fulfilled.
Else you can go for Enhancement using EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving
The following user exits exist for vendor master records:
o Check entered data before saving
Please refer to the interface description of the function module to see which data is available.
If we found any other solution we will let you know the same.

How to Make u0091Contactu0092 Profile a required field in BP Maintenance?

We are using "status" tab in the Tcode: /nBP- BP Maintenance and trying to do following two things:
1. Make Contact filed as REQUIRED fields in BP Master in under Status tab, and
2. Restrict one or more communication method(s) as Disallowed while others remain Allowed. Here is the scenario: BP chooses NOT TO BE CALLED on Phone but agrees to receive Letters and/or Emails.
We believe this would require development, but wonder if there are other options, or if anyone has done something similar and would be willing to share?
Thanks in advance,

IDoc Error 51 - Make Entry in All Required Fields

hi,
I am using a scenario where an idoc is being posted into an R/3 system from a legacy application. For some reason I keep getting Idoc error 51 (Document not posted).
Once I drill down further, the specific error states "Make entry in all required fields". Have checked to make sure all mandatory fields have been mapped and proper constant values have been specified.
But cannot seem to get rid of the problem. Could anybody help out in determining how else to troubleshoot this and identify the possible cause?
thx,
Manpreet

Manpreet,
What IDoc Type you are trying to post ? One way is debugging the inbound function module using WE19. The second option is talking to a functional consultantor who worked, what fields are needed for that particular IDoc.
I wouldn't care much about whether the IDoc is posted or not because, it is the ABAP ALE/EDI consultant's job to do that. The only way XI Developer is concerned is when it is not posting, ABAPer would tell what's missing.
Hope this info helps.

Added new fields in vendor master in xk01 but data is not getting saved

Hi experts,
To add new fields in vendor master i have followed the following steps :
1.) Appended a structure ZRTGS in LFA1 table with required fields and activated
2.) Added new button in xk01( vendor master ) using spro -> logistics-general -> business partner -> vendors ->
control ->adoption of customer's owaster data fields -> prepare modification free-enhancement of vendor master record
Created a screen group ZR and defined label tab pages with function code ZRTGS and saved entries
3.) Created a implementation for BADIs VENDOR_ADD_DATA and VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS.
4.) Created a program with my own subscreen for the required fields
The button is getting displayed in XK01, XK02 and XK03 respectively. Whenever the button is clicked the subscreen with
the fields is also displayed. But whenever i try to save the data in either XK01 or XK02 it is not getting saved in to the
database table LFA1.
Request your help in this regard.
Thanks in Advance.

Withholding tax fields in Vendor master is not avbl to config as sensitive

Hi,
I need to configure, fields in Withholding tax accounting as sensitive fields in Vendor Master.
Table reference for Withholding tax is LFBW.
But the fields from this table are not avbl for configuring in SPRO.
It gives an error message as: This field is not allowed.
Is there any other method to add the required fields from LFBW table to configure them as sensitive fields.
Or adding the fields as sensitive is restricted for few fields only.
Pls do the needful.

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.

Edited by: Bruce Tjosvold on Nov 21, 2008 1:18 PM

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

Custom field in Vendor Master - track field changes

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to enhance vendor master (XK01) by adding custom fields. I did this, but now the customer needs to track changes made to this field. He expects to see the changes made to this custom field using menu path 'Environment -> Field Changes' from vendor master transactions (XK01, XK02, XK03). I have enabled the track changes in the data element, so that field changes can be tracked in CDPOS, but that is not enough. Please help to find solution. Thanks.
Regards
Arun

Hi Brad,
I added the new fields to vendor master using the SPRO option:
'Prepare Modification-Free enhancement of Vendor Master Record' in the following path:
Logistics-General -> Business Partner -> Vendors -> Control -> Adoption of customer's own master data fields. This created a button on vendor master, and my field is in a pop up box which is generated on click of this button.
This field is stored in LFM2 table.
I have enabled the change flag in the data element of the custom field, and it is showning the field changes in CDPOS table.
But the problem I face is how I can avoid going to the CDPOS table and instead use the menu option :
'Environment -> Field Changes'
Regards
Arun

Masking Certain Field in Vendor Master Data

We have a Enhancement which involves conversion of Vendor Numbers.,It so happened that a category of Vendor Codes were the Social Security Numbers.
Now that due to Privacy Laws etc they are converting that number logic which is throwing challanges.
The first Step is to convert Vendors from XSSN to Y123 and the second is also retain the social number in a encrypted field as it is used for 1099 reporting.
I am aware that there is a standard functionality for Credit Cards Numbers Masking but not sure if there is any thing for special fields on Vendor Master.
If you are aware of any options to handle the switchover or masking certain fields pls share them with me.
Thanks,
Praveen

Praveen,
Did you try 'Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors)' and suppress/hide the fields?

Head Office field in Vendor Master

Hi,
We have entered a Head Office Vendor in the Vendor master ( Branch).
Now at the time of PO creation system has correctly fetched the Branc Vendor address.
When we are trying to post the Vendor Invoice we are getting error "Different invoicing party 400065 planned in purchase order xxx
Message no. M8286.
As the Head office Vendor is fetched at the time of Invoice we are facing this error.
How to resolve this? The Invoice is to be posted to the Head Office Vendor only.
Rajesh

Hi Venkat,
Is maintaining the partner function ,mandatory for using the Head Office field in Vendor master?
What I can observe is, during MIRO system is able to fetch the Head Office Vendor even if the PO is for the Branch Vendor.
The error which I mentiond appears due to this only as there is a conflict between two Vendors.

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?
Hi I need to add one additional field for other VAT Reg. number in vendor master data FK01, We currently have two field
Current Settings:
Country : LFAS-LAND1
VAT registration no.: LFAS-STCEG
I need to add one additional field for text information. Is this possible?
Thanks you very much
Luis G.

If you want to add new fields that are not possible from config (check with your consultant) you need to implement BADIs
In SPRO, go to:
>Logistics-General
->Business Partner
-->Vendors
--->Control
>Adoption of Cusomter's Own Master Data Fields
and read the documentation provided there.
You will need to implement following BAPIs
Processing Master Data Enhancements: VENDOR_ADD_DATA
Customer Subscreens: VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS
I am not aware of any other way to add new fields to Vendor master (however, check with your consultant for config related screen modifications)
Should you need any further info to implement it, post back (read it thoroughly first, it's quite self-explanatory).

Aabhas

Creating additional screen field in Vendor Master at Company Code Level

Hi All,
I have to add some custom fields in Vendor master at Company Code Level.I have alraedy implemented a BAPI suggested by the system to add additional fields.
A new Button is coming after implementing the BAPI , which gives me a space to add new custom fields , which i have appended at LFA1.
My problem is that , the new Button is visible at each screen, i.e Button is coming at Address tab, Control tab, all screen correspond to company code and all tab correspond to purchasing.
While i want that Button should only be visible at screens correspond to company code.
Please suggest how to acheive the same.
Regards,
Subhash

Hello Karidhal Subhash -
I'm facing a similar problem. I've got my BADI working properly with the exception of...
I only want my custom button to appear if they've input a Company code on the selection screen. Did you find a way to solve this problem?

Additional Fields in Vendor Master

Hi All,
I am using ECC5 version my client wants Other Country, Other City, Other Region fields in Vendor Master.
So can some one help me out how to add those fileds in Vendor masters. I saw in my Account group could not find it.
So if some knows the solution for same kindly let me know.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
You can add ZZ-fields with the BADI 'VENDOR_ADD_DATA' and 'VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS'.
But if you need store other address or alternative addresses, perhaps you can create a partner function for this role.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo
