Name field in FK01 vendor master creation/ table LFA1 lengths are different

Hi Experts,
We have an issue with FK01 vendor master creation.
The vendor Name field in FK01 has length of 40 char, however in Vendor Master table LFA1 field Name1 has length 35 char.
So when the user inputs a name of 40 char in FK01 it does get truncated in LFA1 table.
Guyz any idea how we can handle this scenerio.
Need your help.
Thanks
Jaif.

Please undesratnd the desciption I have given.
The issue is with FK01, when u create vendor in FK01, If you use a name of 40 char length in the NAME field.
After creating the vendor if you check the vendor in LFA1 table you'll find the name truncated to 35 char length in the NAME1 field.
How can we solve this problem. Is there any BADI/User exit available to fix it.
Thanks
Jaif

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.

BAPI for Vendor Master Creation

Hi,
I've seen alot of messages regarding Vendor Master Creation but I didnt find any clear answer.
What Bapi can we use for Vendor Master Creation?
I saw the BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE (for online) but there are no parameters given.
Pls help.
Thanks!

Hi Donna.
I would like to suggest my opinion,
1. Go To Transaction BAPI.
2. In the Alphabetical (Window).
3. Vendor.
4. Click the Node, Go To Create.
5. Click the Create Node.
6. Vendor and return will be seen.
7. Check the dictionary references for both Vendor Node and Return node.
8. Fields of the structures will be observed.
Hope this works out well.
Good Luck & Regards.

Hi,
Please check the following standard rules:
1. If the P Org is assigned to a company code, then that Porg is responsible for all the plants assignesd to that company code only provided Plant - Porg assignment is done. This is company code specific
2. If the P Org is not assigned to a company code, At the time of vendor master creation, system will ask for the company code and you have enter the same assignesd to that company code provided Plant - Porg assignment is done for the Porg you are working with. This is cross company P .Org.
3. Assignment of POrg with Plant is must.

Vendor Master Creation FK01

Hi
I created one vendor as MNO Limited. Vendor number generated is 1000098. Afterwards i came to know that the Vendor 1000065 is already created with same name. So now same vendor is created twice.
Let me know is there possibility in SAP to have check on this. How to avoid duplicate vendor creation?
Second doubt is that, i want to have dropdown for field Corporate Group field. Is it possible in Standard way?

Hi,
You can configure the vendor duplicacy check in the below path:-
Goto SPRO: SAP Reference IMG:
1. Financial Accounting(New)->Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable->Vendor Accounts->Master Data->Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data->Change Message Control for Vendor Master Data
2. The next screen will be displayed where you can define your message for Ex:
F2 144 u2013 Vendors found with same address; check
Set the values Online = u2018Iu2019 and BatchI (Batch Input) = u2018Iu2019
If you want to make this check user specific then enter the User Name else leave it blank to make it applicable for all users.
3.Again go to SPRO:
Financial Accounting (New)->Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable->Vendor Accounts->Master Data->Match Code->Check Search Fields for (Vendor) Matchcodes
The standard fields on which the check is performed are:
1.NAME1, 2.NAME2, 3.ORT01
You can include here other field also to check the duplicacy. If the need to check the duplicate vendor on more complex creterias, you can use the user exit function module EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 which calls the custom program ZXF05U01.

Which table of field "EXTENSION1" of vendor master data

Hi Experts,
I key in data in filed "EXTENSION1" (data line) for vendor master data, which table I can get this field?
Thanks.

Use this trick I learned from an ABAP friend of mine. Has a little of trial and error in it but its really good.
1. Open 2 SAP windows
2. In window 1, Go to ST05
3. Activate Trace
4. Go to window 2, access the field which you need to learn what table it is in. Ex. Go to XK02 to view the field. enter data in it.
5. Go to window 1, Deactivate Trace
6. In window 1, display trace
7. Check each table written there in SE11 and see if your field is in that table.

Regarding vendor master creation using xk01,fk01,mk01.

hi
i have created vendor master using xk01.what is the diffeerence between creation of vendor master using xk01 and FK01,MK01.

Hi
You can split vendor master data into two parts - purchasing (MK01) and accounting (FK01).
Purchasing veiw (MK01) is important if you want to create purchase documents like PO on vendor. This veiw is created for purchase organization with bank details and partner functions.
Accounting view (FK01) is important for finance people to post invoice and pay to vendor. This view is created for company code. The terms of payment which purchase dept specifies will be entered in accounting view again and bank details entered by purchasing people will be confirmed by accounting team.
You can create collectively these two views in XK01.
Thanks

How to configure a required field in the Vendor Account Creation?

Hello,
Good day to all!
Please kindly help me change the set up for Transaction FK01: Create Vendor. I need to set the field for Withholding Tax Number as a 'Required' field during creation of vendor account for local vendors only. How can I be able to do that? Please advise.
Thank you so much in advance..
April

This should have been posted in the SCM forum. Anyway, here is the path in config(tcode SPRO).
Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG)
-->Financial Accounting
   -->Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
      -->Vendor Accounts
         -->Master Records
            -->Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Records
               -->Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
Once you choose this option, you will be presented with a screen where you have to choose an account group and click the display icon. In the next screen, under the 'Edit Status' section, double click on 'Company Code Data' and then in the next screen double click on 'W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2'. Here you can change the attributes to make it required.

Error Message WY 030 . Vendor master creation

Hi all
The Error Messgae *WY 030 :Purchasing organization &1 assigned to company code &2, not &3*:+ Need to activate as a ERROR MESSAGE.+
During Vendor creation ,if the wrong purchase organisation is selected, system is allowing to create the vendor master.
Even though ,I have done the Setting in the following , the error message is not reflectiog
1. Message Control for Vendor Master Data
2.T.code : OBMSG
3.T.code : OBA5
Thanks & Regards
DP

strange.
in my system WY 030 message is this: Entry & in table & does not exist
what do you call a wrong purchasing organisation?
I guess you have several organisations in the system.
lets make an example:
purchasing PORG1 is assigned to company code CC1
purchasing PORG2 is assigned to company code CC2
purchasing PORG3 is assigned to company code CC3
and I guess
you want prevent a user to create a vendor master with company code CC1 and purchasing org PORG2
You just cannot do this.
All company codes are valid and all purchasing orgs are valid.
It is just to combination that would logically not make sense while creating.
but if this vendor is used in all companies, then you have 3 CC views: for CC1, CC2 and CC3,
and you have 3 purchasing views for PORG1, PORG2 and PORG3
would you still say that a vendor master with CC1 must not have PORG2 ?
