Multiple partner for Vendor

Dear experts,
I am facing one urgent query from my client.
they have a scenario that one vendor may have multiple "good supplier" partner.Is it possible in SAP to have multiple partners for "goods supplier" or "Invoicing Party" for a same vendor.
Full points will be awarded for explainatory and useful reply.
Regards,
Santosh

Dear PKM/Kishore,
Thanks for your propmt reply. This is useful.
But I need a bit more explanation. My client knows the "Good Supplier" partner's name only during GR after seeing the vendor invoice.
Can I enter "Good Supplier" partner in GR instead of PO?

Maintain multiple address for vendor

User purchase article from vendor A at addess#1 but returned article back to vendor A via address#2. Vendor has 2 different departments handling delivery and returns.
How can I configure 2 adddress for the same vendor code?
If I had to used a partner function, what suggested partner function should I used?
My PO order entry currently only accept vendor code.
Suppose I need to add in a partner, like sold-to and ship-to in SD, is there a way to configure the screen?
Where do I do it.
Thanks
bye

Hi Colin,
What is the bussiness reason for multiple addresses for the same vendor?
If the vendor maintains several different physical locations at different addresses, then they should be created as different vendor master records. Then, if they all use the same payment office, they can be partnered to the same invoicing vendor.
If you need to add a seperate address for the supplier location, payment location, billing location, etc, then you must create each of them using the correct account group and use partnering to tie them all together.
Also, there is a way to maintain multiple addresses for the same vendor - but this is used for maintaining different international versions of the same address. (See the international button) - which requires some configuration in central address management.
Or,
Go for one-time-vendor concept else it is not possible .
Also,
Partner function can be used to maintain different address.
This is the advantage of keeping the partner function in vendor account groups.
You create different vendor codes for different addresses and assign the same.

Rahul.

Classic Scenario PO has multiple OA Partner Functions for Vendor

Hi,
I have a 'design' issue. My R/3 Vendor has many OA Partner Functions for the different Branches they have and the PO needs to be Faxed to the OA Partner Function number, but the PO needs to be created against the VN Partner Function.
So, how do i do this in SRM? I was going to have a seperate Catalog link for each OA Partner function, but this is not creating the R/3 PO with VN Partner Function of the 'core' Vendor number.
Does anyone have any advice for this?
regards Adam
Using SRM 5.0 (Server 5.5) SP 8 and R/3 4.6C in Classic Scenario - my catalogs are external vendor.

Multiple address for single vendor using business partner

Hello folks,
I have a issue,it's all about picking the right address in the payment posting.The Vendors have more than 7 addresses depending on the situation.Vendor Master(XK01) can be given 2 address and we are using Business Partner(BP) for storing other addresses.We are able to link the Vendor Master to BP from T-Code FLBPC1.Now when there is payment Posting it has to pick the address from BP if required.It is possible using MM module But we dont have MM for this.Plz suggest me.Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Kumar

Hi Sushil,
The customers and vendors can only have a single address, but the Business partner can have multiple address.
You can set up a synchronization from business partner -> customer/ vendor such that all the common data is synchronised between these objects. The standard address of the BP is copied into the address of the customer or vendor.
You can set up this sync using
Transaction SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG-> Cross-Application Components ->Master Data Synchronization-> Customer/Vendor Integration
Do go through the doucmentaion provided in the path too, it explains the functionality well.
Customers/vendors donot have the capacity to maintain multiple addresses.
Hope this helps you.

Multiple Output Medium for vendors in Manage Business Partner

Hi,
I'm trying to put more than one output medium in Manage Business Partner for a Vendor, Transaction BBPMAININT.
But unable to do so.
1. I would need assisstance that is it right to have multiple output medium for a Vendor functionally?
2. How do i achieve it.
Waiting for a quick response,
Regards,
Neha Misra.
Edited by: Neha Misra on Mar 28, 2008 1:18 PM

You can maintain Alternate Vendor Contact for the Vendors in the transaction BP; The Purchaser here after can choose which one to use during a particular time of the ordering the purchase order. This will be possible for the purchaser at the time of creating the purchase order in the Basic Data Tab - Alternate Vendor Contacts.
For every vendor contact you will need to have a default medium for output; which will be used to send the PO to the vendor.
Please reward points if found useful.

Loading Multiple Partner Fuctions for a vendor using LSMW

Hi Everyone,
I need to upload multiple partner functions for vendors. I am using LSMW recording for transcation XK02.
The LSMW runs fine but instead of adding a new line for each partner function for a specific vendor it keeps overwritting the previous one. As a end result I get only the last partner function in vendor.
Any help in resolving this is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Zor

you can use below LSMW batch input method and pass the tcode XD02.. for partner functions....
TCODE                        Transaction Code
                    Rule :   Constant
                    Code:    BKN00-TCODE = 'XD02'.

How to use multiple addresses for a global vendor

Hi experts.
scnerios is.company has different plants in different countires.they have centrally agreed contract with vendor.now each plant create p,o is in different country how can we use that vendors local addresses in p.o because in vendor master we can define one addres at a time.so if that adrees is in other country.and plant creating p,o is in different how can select the local address of that vendor.
if option is partner function then how to use it.all adressess witl be odering address of that vendor.his offices is alll the counties.
thanks

IQBAL,
You can maintain multiple addresses for the same vendor using international addresses.
First, you have to Activate International Address Versions for each country/language via config at
IMG: Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) > Address Management > International Settings > Activate International Address Versions (You can do this even if you are not using Real Estate Management
Then, in the vendor master, address screen, select the "International Verion" button, select the address version and maintain your address.
If you have any programs that need to display or print these addresses, you will have to specifiy the address version to display/print. by default, the version (Field = NATION) is Blank.
I hope this helps.

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

Neelesh

Partner functions OA and IP missing for Vendor in Extended classic PO

As part of current Classic scenario, we have maintained OA (Ordering Address) and PI (Invoicing Party) for a vendor in R/3. We have also maintained different ordering addresses for multiple plants in the Vendor master: Partner functions screen --> Alternative data.
I would like to acheive the same functionality in Extended Classic scenario. We have replicated the vendors from R/3 to SRM. After activating Extended Classic scenario, we see only VN as the partner function in R/3 PO.
Q1. How can we enable OA and PI partner functions in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?
Q2. How can we enable different ordering addresses for multiple plants in R/3 PO (Extended Classic) ?

Error message "No business partner could be created for vendor ..."

Dear experts,
I had made all the customizing settings for BP and CVI vendor/customer - BP integration and synchronization settings before. BP creation from vendor and usage within Real Estate was working with no problems. When i tried to create a new BP role recently i must have changed the settings and now when creating BP from vendor (FLBPC1) i get the following message:
No business partner could be created for vendor"
The long text of the message is:
Message no. CVIV_UI013
Diagnosis
No business partner could be created from the vendor selected.
System Response
An error occurred when creating a business partner from the vendor selected. This error prevents data from being transferred and saved. This could be due to the following:
Fields have been left blank in the vendor that are set as required entry fields for the business partner.
Settings for assigning Customizing values for the vendor to the business partner are incorrect.
Procedure
Start the Post Processing Office and check the error message. Make the necessary corrections.
I have checked all my customizing settings one by one but cant locate anything missing or wrong.
Also, in 956054 it is said that i must perform various migration reports, but i believe if it did work before without running these reports, this couldnt not be the problem now.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
reason is the following.
The customer / vendor doesn't use special attribute to differentiate
between persons and organizations - in opposite to BP.
You can achieve what you want to do by using a BAdI prepared for that:
You'll find this in IMG transaction SPRO:
Cross-Application Components
Master Data Synchronization
    Customer/Vendor Integration
      Business Partner Settings
        BAdI: Data Assignment of Form of Address from Customer/Vendor t
Please read documentation of this BAdI in IMG.
You may use standard implementation CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY.
You also may create own implementation of the BAdI, if you want to
differentiate on other attributes.
Hope that helps.

Franz

Multiple Partner Functions for a Sales document Item

Hi,
Can you please advise on modeling scenario for showing multiple partner functions for a given sales document in BI Report ..
Because Key figure values should not be distributed for multiple records just becos of multiple partner functions but users want to see them in the reports along with sales doc and key figure
I am explaining bit more clearly...
I can achieve above requirement by having below model ..
SDOC ITEM PF1 PF2 PF3 AMOUNT
1000 10 AB CD EF 50000
PF : Partner Function
but as I feel it is a complicated task to add more and more columns fro partner functions as and when new partner functions have been added or requested to show by users at sales doc level...
So Can you please advise a better solution to meet the same requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
BRK
Please advise me on this scenario
Thanks & Regards,

SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
This will be the normal display in the cube if there is only one Partner Function.
But what we need is
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A2_________________' '
80000_________10_____________A3_________________' '
The Amount (KF) should be populated only for the first record for a SalesDoc / Item combo.
You load data from source to the ODS, say delta.
Suppose that the below record is already available in the ODS.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A1_______________$1000
And you get the following data as DELTA in the Data_Package from the source.
SalesDoc______Item_______PartnerFunction________Amount
80000_________10_____________A2_______________$1000
80000_________10_____________A3_______________$1000
If you populate the Amount again for these 2 records, then the total would sum to $3000, which is wrong.
So what we do is,
Write a Select stmt for ALL ENTRIES in Data_Package and fetch the records from the target ODS. Have it in an Internal table, say t_ODS1
Take the SalesDoc / Item from the Data_Package and chk if it is present in the internal table t_ODS1.
If it is present, then populate the Amount as ' ' (Blank)
Else populate the Amount as $1000.
Say, you are getting 3 new records, which is not present in the ODS1.
In that case, your internal table t_ODS1 will be blank.
Now again, we need to populate the Amount only for the first record among the 3 records.
So, here comes the "Flag".
Set the Flag as X, when we populate the Amount.
Everytime chk the Flag <> X.
Only if it is <> X, populate the Amount.
Else Leave it Balnk.
Hope I have explained in detail
