Not able to link Vendor and Customer

I have created a vendor (V) and customer (C) without linking.
Now when I edit the customer to associate vendor to it - when i add the vendor in 'Vendor' field and when saving it is giving error saying Vendor V is not linked to Customer C. This is happening other way round also. When I am creating Vendor and trying to give customer C in 'Customer' field, it is giving error - Customer C is not linked to Vendor V.
What is happening here ? Am I doing anything wrong ? Which one to create first ? How exactly to associate ?

CVI - linking vendor and customer to the same BP

Hi all,
I'm working in a scenario where the CVI (Customer Vendor synchronizing with Business Partners) works in the direction Vendor/Customer to BP. This means that the user creates a vendor or a customer (within the AP/AR modules) and the system creates the business partner automatically.
The problem is that the system doesn't perform any check to see if the vendor (or the customer) is linked to a customer (or a vendor) within the AP/AR master data and if yes, connects the vendor/customer to the same BP which is assigned to the customer/vendor.
Example: vendor 1000 is connected to customer 2000 within their master data in AP/AR. the system will create 2 separate business partners, one for vendor 1000 and one for customer 2000 rather then connect them to the same business partner.
The CVI_CUSTOM_MAPPER BADI kicks in too late (!!) since at that point of the process, the system has already determined the necessary entry for the link tables (CVI_CUST_LINK and CVI_VEND_LINK) and any change to the BP GUID within methods MAP_CUSTOMER_TO_BP or MAP_VENDOR_TO_BP will result in dumps at a later stage, as the link in the CVI link tables will contain a GUID which was never created...
Please help me.. I'm stuck now...
Shlomi

Hi,
Check the "Automatic creation of Business Partner in FSCM" message. You have to create BP to synchro with customer and customer to BP.
To synchro personal data, you have to run MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT program.

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

Bharathi.

Invoice image in vendor and customer document

Hello,
We have got following requirement.
Currently we are storing pysical invoice copies of vendor and customer in a pysical file. But now we want to see the image of invoices in vendor and customer document respectively.
It means, if it is possible to have an attachment button or some icon available when we see vendor and customer document.
Please advise how can we link the pysical invoice with SAP document. And is this something related to DMS or Archivieng Link.
Please suggest.
Best Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan,
At my company we are currently doing just this.
We have a server outside of SAP that stores our images. We did not want to store the images within SAP.
We use the SAP document number to link the image to the SAP document.
We do all our AP input from images. After an invoice is entered, and the document number is generated, we forward the image to a
e mail address for the server using the document number in the subject line. The image gets attached to the document. Then the image can be viewed by clicking on the Services for object icon.
I am sure there is some more techical stuff that goes this, like an RFC connection. I am sorry I am not technical. I am the functionala AP person. We also have a program that takes the image and attaches it to the cross company document if there is one.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.
If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor. I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
So I need to know-
1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.
Thanks

Hi,
Define Shipping Data
Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

Not able to assign vendor on SC

Hello Experts,
(SRM 5.0; Extended Classic)
I'm facing an issue with indicating vendor on shopping card. When I create a shopping card and open tab Sources of Supply / Service Agents, there is only "Preferred Vendor" field active. Above that there is a information:
"No vendor assigned
No vendors/contracts/info records exist"
and no active field where I could put vendor number.
I have replicated vendors and materials from backend. I have extended classic scenario so I understand I cannot have inforecord reached from the backend. I also have contracts locally created for item for which I create SC. And still information as specified above.
I need to be able to indicate vendor, not preffered vendor. For Instance, when I transfer PM order (with vendor specified on it) to SRM, SC is created and field vendor is correclty filled with vendor I specified in PM order. But when I create SC manually on SRM, field Vendor is not available, only "Prefered Vendor" and this info quoted above.
Did you have maybe similar problem. How can I solve it?

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ?
You need to do the following SPRO config settings.
SPRO> SRM server-> Sourcing> Define Sourcing for product categories.
Here you need to select the sourcing always carried out in the front of the respective product categories. Once you do it you will be able to get the vendors.
Also Make sure that you have replicated from ecc purch org, material master and vendor master. Only then you will be able to see the sos. The purch org in the shopping cart must be the same of the contract/info record.
Also Did you try implementing BBP_SOS_BADI ? Please check for the BADI - BBP_SRC_DETERMINE ?

Same person as vendor and customer

Dear
I have to create the same person both as a customer and vendor.
I have done the following settings: Added the number of vendor in customer master & customer in vendor master. Also checked the indicator for clearing in both.
I just wanted to know if now i do a sale to this person, will the Vendor Outstanding Amount get updated? Are there any more settings?
thanks

It's not mandatory to use the same ID for vendor and customer if they are the same entity, you can use different IDs w/o any problem.
It might be difficult, if you are using internal number assignment. It may occur that the ID is already occupied by a vendor or customer.
You can link your customer to your vendor both in XK01/XK02 (LFA1-KUNNR; control tab) and XD01/XD02 (KNA1-LIFNR; "Control Data" tab). One assignment is enough.
In this case you can always see, which customer belongs to which vendor.
Sometimes plant vendors, customers are defined via external number assignment, to have the same ID as the plant, but this should be decided in advance...(separate account group is used generally, with separate number range)

Create items by vendor and customer on Foreign Currency Valuation

When we execute Foreign Currency Valuation, we would like to create items in a document by vendor and customer.
Can we handle it a 'Corp.group-vendors' flag(Evaluate Accounts According to Group Definition) ?
Can you help with this issue please?
Thanks,
Sato.Ishikawa

HI,
With the report SAPF100, you will be able to valuate foreign currencies
from customer and vendor accounts.
It is not possible to post a foreign currency valuation directly to a
vendor or customer account. This is only possible for g/l accounts.
You can refer to the following workarounds:
From the technical point of view you can use FB01 to post such a posting
You have to enter a exchange rate manually in the first screen. In this
case this exchange rate is used instead of the exhange rate of table
TCURR (transaction OB08).
You have to choose a exchange rate which transfer the amount in local
currency to 0,00 in foreign currency.Another possibility is to use
RFBIBL00 in transfer type direct input for FB01.An amount of 0 in
foreign currency should work.
The system is designed not to post documents with 0 amount in foreign
currency to vendors/customers.

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.

FI Open Vendor and Customer Line item

Dear Experts,
Do we have to migrate the Tax code in the Vendor and Customer Line Items during data migration?
I read somewhere that is it not necessary to do so.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi ,
     It depends on the legal enviroment and sometimes on the settings used in your system. It is a matter of whether the Tax code information is needed in any circumstance that could arise subsequent to migration.
Examples where you must migrate the tax codes:-
     i) Deferred VAT is used.
     ii) Prepayments with Gross Display.
    iii) Prompt payment discounts are VAT relevant.
Kind regards
