Minority Indicators on Vendor Master

Hello Experts,
I have a couple of queries around the Minority vendors in the USA.
The current business scenario has vendors who are a part of various minority groups.
(a) Do we have an option within SAP (Standard) to make multiple minority groups
(b) Capture the certification dates for each of those groups
I was looking to check if SAP provides this as a standard functionality, or would it be a good option to create a custom table with the required combination for the business.
what are the standard SAP reports used for Minortiy vendor reporting.
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
We have that same issue. Not sure if it is best practice, but we ended up using the Minority Indicator field (LFB1-MINDK) to store a Minority Code and these are our selection options we configured to handle if a vendor applies to more than one:
M = Minority
MS = Minority/SBE
MW = Minority/Women
MWS - Minority/Women/SBE
S = Small Business
W=Women-Owned
WS = Women/SBE
Certification Date is CERDT
These fields are on the vendor master screen: Accounting Information.
We have not found any standard SAP reports, we've had to write our own ABAP reports to pull in from table LFB1 to view vendor spend, etc.

Vendor Master Extraction from Legacy

Hi guys,
We have 2 different legacy systems here (4.5b and 4.6c) and I am trying to extract the vendor master from both of them and integrate them into the new mysap2004.
What is the best way to extract the vendor master along with the address , punchasing doc, bank details, partner functions,etc ? Any sample program for vendor master extraction is most welcome. Here is my extract layout.

Sustainability in the Vendor Master

There is much discussion about [sustainability|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/sustainability] in the BPX community and in other sources. Much of the discussion is about initiatives SAP has taken as a company to become more "Green" or white papers about the topics of CSR and sustainability.
I've got a much more concrete question. In the vendor master (ECC6.0) what fields are available to help classify or document sustainability indicators of vendors? How would you begin to go about creating an evaluative record of practice or performance? GRI provides a [reporting framework G3|http://www.globalreporting.org/ReportingFramework/ReportingFrameworkDownloads/] and standards for reporting but, where in the vendor master can some of the indicator profiles be recorded?

Hi
Sustainability is possible in SAP (vendor master) if you implement GRC module. This module has control all over modules when it comes to Sustainability.

Antony

What are the important views or field in vendors master record

All,
We are converting two different companies into our SAP. We are at blue printing stage. I was assigned to gather vendor master data requirements in SAP. I sent them all the fields that we are currently using in SAP. I sent them a template of General, Company code data and purchasing views. The legacy team is coming to meet with our it team one to one to discuss the importance of the fields. Now my team manager asked us to submit a presentation about all the questions we should be asking the legacy team as well as the important information we should be discussing from SAP point of view. Can someone guide me here please. It's important.
Thanks,

Hi The task is pretty simple. You would need to create a mapping from the legacy data to SAP data. You would go through every field of the legacy data and identify which field it will map to. there is nothing like important field. Ideally you would get all the fields. Identify the recon account that the vendors should go to.
Hope this helps
Points will be appreciated.

Error in ALE Service While Creation of Vendor Master

hi,
I am using a scenario where a third party system is sending vendor master data to a R/3 system The file is picked up by the file adapter(sender) and mapped to IDOC format, using Idoc adapter (receiver). A Vendor is then created by posting the CREMAS03 IDOC into the R/3 system.
Everything goes fine till the Idoc comes into the R/3 system. There in BD87(Idoc Status Monitor), getting the "Error in ALE Service" error. When expanded further the specific error is that of "Cross-system company code xxxx does not exist". What is generally the cause of this error and how would I resolve it?
For those of you who have attended TBIT 40, this scenario is Example 1 - Creation of Vendor Master Data.
Any help would be appreciated?
regards,
SK

one more thing
if you want to be sure that you're using the right data
try to set your system to send the vendor data out
first - send it from BD14
and then you'll know which fields do you need
if you do that take a look at segment E1LFB1M
and check for BURKS

Creation of Business partner by using the vendor master

Dear all ,
I have a requirement as follows. I Have already vendor master created in MM .Now the requirement is while creating Business partner I have to use this vendor as the business partner .
Can experts suggest the possibility of this .
Regards.
Arjun.

Hello Arjun,
Yes, this feature also works in 4.7. What has happened is that in ECC 6.0 the BP functinality has been totally redefined with a lot of automations. As such, if properly configured then in ECC 6.0 there is no practical use of the FLBPD/FLBPC Tcodes. However, in 4.7, both these traqnsactions should be working fine. The SAP ntes that I have mentioned are however only for ECC 6.0.
Kind regards,

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.

Vendor Master Modification Report

Hello,
I'm creating a report which must show the modifications done to a Vendor Master Record by a group of users. I work with two tables: CDHDR and CDPOS to extract the modified data.
One of the requirements of this report is that it show's which Vendor Code (Number) was modified. I thought that this information could be extracted from table CDHDR, from the field Object ID, but this field doesn't contain it. Objects ID values are like this: "BP 0000041906".
Is there any other way to extract a Vendor Code knowing the Object Id Value from this table or should I look for this information in another place?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Ankesh, thanks for you help.
Actually 0000041906 is the address number (ADDRNUMBER) of the vendor whose master record was changed.
The problem then is that depending on which object is modify on the Vendor Master Record, I would have to look for Vendor Number using different tables ?

2. get the purchasing documents for these vendors in the specified company code
3. from the purchasing documents find the purchase order history to see if any invoice exists take all the invoice nos. per PO for each vendor
4. goto RSEg and give the invoice doc. nos.
you will get the details of all payments made as in price and the qty.

Vendor Master - ADRNR field details.

Hi Experts,
This is regarding Vendor Master data.
Use T-code "SE16" then enter Table Name "LFA1" to see values for any particular Master record for eg. 1000.
In this you will find some Values in field "ADRNR, MCOD1, MCOD2". whereas if you open the same record with "XK02" you cannot see this values.
Even I am not entering this vause while creating records using "XK01". Can someone explain where can I see this Values.
Matter urgent.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Cheers
RC.

If it(ADRNR) is really there in LFA2 -> Vendor data table,
Use, SE16 Transaction,
and give LFA1 Table..
press enter, if you can see a pop-up box. find out the vendor field name or else press enter
then from tool bar, set ....choose select fields and find the ADRNR filed in that
and press Execute...
Then you can see the values.
(***If any thing is there in Database**)
