Regular vendor in MM

are there any setting in MM where there are settings for defining a regular vendor if yes where it is?

Regular vendor you can set in info record (ME11 or ME12) on general data screen
Regular vendor
Specifies that the material is to be procured from this vendor at client
    level, i.e. for the entire corporate group.
Use
If you set this indicator, the regular vendor is suggested as the only
    source.
If you wish to work with the source determination facility for purchasing
    documents, it makes sense not to set the indicator so that the system
    suggests all available sources, not just the regular vendor.
If you try to enter a different vendor than the regular vendor in the
    source list or quota arrangement, the system will issue a warning
    message.

Outline Agreements - min order qty and regular vendor flag

As a part of E Source Integration with ECC we are planning to leverageusing Outline Agreement(Contract Type MK) to store
Price and other Business Terms for Material / Vendor combinations. Currently we are
using Purchase Information Record with minimum order quantity and
regular vendor flag functionalities, and these are maintained manually.
We intend to use Minimum Order qty and Regular Vendor Flag
indicator in Outline Agreement as well, however noticed that these fields are
not available in the screens. Does anyone know if these fields can be enabled in an outline agreement?

Guys
thanks for reply..
But I thnik my question was not fully clear as the aswers didn't make sense to me...
As a logistics consultant .I know that I can maintain Min Order qty for a material + vendor at PIR level..
My question ..if I buy 10 items in a PO from a sinle vendor..is there any option to restrict Min qrder qty for these combination of materials..
or in other words vendor says he dont care about number of items ,but the lot lot should be min..10 cartons only..
appropriate points will be rewarded.
thanks in advance.

System to consider only regular vendors in rating

Dear Gurus,
During vendor rating at present system is considering all vendors who were not supplied for entire quarter(say).ie, system now showing the vendors who supplied one time, un supplied vendors. but the requirement is system has to consider only regular vendors in vendor evaluation. how can we put the restriction.

Analyse your vendors with MC$4 transaction.
then exclude the vendors who were only used one time via the multiple selection in your selection screen of report RM06LBAT

Purchasing Info Record- Different Regular Vendor for different Plant

Dear Guru,
I'm encounter a problem with PIR.
I have this PIR 9001 (Vendor A) and 9002 (Vendor B) for material A, which i have extended to 2 different Pur.Org 0001 under company code 0001 and Pur.Org 0002 uner Company code 0002.
For Pur.Org 0001, i set the Regular Vendor as Vendor A, but when i trying to set the regular vendor for Pur.Org 0002 to be as Vendor B, i receved the message as "Up to now, vendor A has been regular vendor for this material".
And After i changed this Regular vendor to vendor B, this changed have also affected the PIR for Pur. Org 0001.
Can i know if there is a way to change the PIR Regular vendor at Pur.Org or Plant level?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Chee Wee

Hi,
Regular vendor is at client level.
That's why, you cann't maintain more then one vendor (Source of supply) for the same material.
If you want to maintin separate vendor for the each plant and same material combination, then don't activate / select regular vendor option in the info record. You have to maintain source list.
Sour list is nothing but a list of source of supplies for the specific plant and material combination with in the validity period of time. If there are more then one vendor for the specific plant and material combination for the same validity period of time, then you can activate fixed vendor option in the source list. Then at the time of creating PO, SAP will pick fixed vendor for the Plant and Material combination.
So first, system will check whether regular vendor is there for this material in the info record. If is there,system will pick regular vendor in the PO. If not, then system will check fixed vendor in the source list for the material and plant combination. If yes, then system will pick fixed vendor from the source list. If not system will propose all the vendors in the source list. If the source list it self not created, then user has to give vendor number manually.

Payment to vendor based on blocking date of vendor

Dear all ,
We have few regular vendors from which the goods is delivered to our plant .
Say from vedor "V" We have received 120 ltr of chemical today,
from tomorrow we have to block this vendor for Purchase order.
Its possible in Xk05 by assign 01 block function,
the purchase order creation is blocked .
But in our case the payment should not be blocked as
we have to pay him for 120 ltr after 30 days from blocking date .
pl guide

Dear,
As many of friends are suggested, MK05 can be used to block PO creation. At the same time FK05 can also be used to block vendor payments.
Once you have blocked the vendor using MK05 system will not allow the users to create PO.
Once you have blocked the vendor using FK05 sytem restricts you from doing MIRO and subsequent clearing of open items means payment clearing.
This is the good solution as per your requirement.

Vendor Payment issues

Hi Guru's
We have some issues with the vendor payment, below are the questions
1.) We are making deposit payments (no invoice in the system to pay, never will be) we donu2019t want this to stop any payments from continuing to go out of SAP
2.) We are making cash in advance payments (CIA) (no invoice in system yet to pay either, but will be) nothing should be paid until the invoices exceed this amount
3.) We are making partial payments (we are u201Csettlingu201D with a vendor to pay a certain amount and this doesnu2019t tie to any particular invoices in the system) we have invoices in the system but none of them tie exactly to the payment amount
For Example: Say vendor total amount due is $1000 and we want to settle this vendor account for for $600 and clear the invoices ( there may be many invoices).... I am thinking of credit memo or a huge discount
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Please find my answers below:
1.) We are making deposit payments (no invoice in the system to pay, never will be) we donu2019t want this to stop any payments from continuing to go out of SAP
In case we are making a deposit payment, this is not in the nature of a regular vendor transaction and so, we have to make this payment using a special GL indicator, which denotes deposit. This will take the deposit to a different GL account than the normal vendor reconciliation account. At the time of the creation of this entry, the blocked for payment would be selected automatically, if we are following the process of first down payment request (F-47) and then automatic payment through F110. In case we are using F-48, then we can manually set the block. Since this entry is with a special gl indicator, this would not affect the normal invoices for the vendor and they will continue to be paid by the system.
2.) We are making cash in advance payments (CIA) (no invoice in system yet to pay either, but will be) nothing should be paid until the invoices exceed this amount
You can use the transaction F-58 and make an "On account" payment, or use F-02 and make a payment to the vendor with a debit to the vendor (PK - 25) and a credit to the bank account (PK - 50). Now once this payment is made, and then we get the normal invoices, as long as the debit is more in the vendors account, the payment will not happen.
3.) We are making partial payments (we are u201Csettlingu201D with a vendor to pay a certain amount and this doesnu2019t tie to any particular invoices in the system) we have invoices in the system but none of them tie exactly to the payment amount
For Example: Say vendor total amount due is $1000 and we want to settle this vendor account for for $600 and clear the invoices ( there may be many invoices).... I am thinking of credit memo or a huge discount
Yes, you can either give a credit memo and make the balances zero or at the time of the payment, if the tolerences allow, you can charge off the difference to an expense account.Hope this clarifies

Vendor Invoice verification payment terms

Hi Experts,
PO is having one item with Gross price,freight .
Freight vendor is different from main vendor.
Main vendor-PAYMENT TERMS-1% discount- 5 days
Freight vendor--PAYMENT TERMS- pay immidiatly
After making GRN and when i tried to post invoice in MIRO
for freight vendor,system is not calculating as per payment terms of freight vendor and showing 1%discount as in main vendor payment terms
Let me know how system can calculate freight value with out discount .
I tried simuating invoice with PO reference,Vendor reference also in MIRO.
Thanks ,
Rama

Hi
Payment terms are defined in the PO at header level and hence the system takes the payment terms of the regular vendor for the freight vendor also.
Check whether payment terms can be given at item level.
If not possible then change the payment terms for the freight vendor manually while doing MIRO .
while doing MIRO select PO reference and also planned delivery costs selection.
Revert with ur comments..

Fbl1n and fbl5n line item wise display the cutomer and vendor name

Hi,
My user is asking report for fbl5n and fbl1n line itemwise dispaly vendor and customer.See the report for one time vendor and customer name displaythe line item wise display in FBL!N/FBL5N. but not the display the regular vendors/customer.So one time table name BSEC
Please advise
Regards.
Edited by: yps y on Nov 13, 2008 1:26 PM

Hi,
line item reports FBL1N/FBL5N are reading the line items (wow, what a big surpise ) and displaying information on line item level.
As the vendor/customer name is NOT stored in the line items, you cannot display this in the lines (along with other item level information., like amount, posting key, doc.type, etc.). You may find a field called "Name 1) in the field catalog when configuring the ALV layout but this is empty for normal customers/vendors. It is only filled in for one time (Cpd) customers - the reason is as explained above: for these special accounts, the name IS stored on line item level (it varies from item to item),, that's why it can be read and displayed in the items.
Now how about normal customers/vendors?
You have to activate Business Transaction Event 1650 and implement a simple code so that depending on the account type (D = customer, K = vendor), you get the business partners name from table KNA1 / LFA1 and put it into field Name1.
Hope that helps, points welcome

Vendor and GL balancefor recon acc did not match

Hi,
When i tried to generate balances for vendor recon acc using
s_alr_87012277 - GL acc balance
s_alr_87012082 - vendor balance in local currency
the report did not match. What may be the reason?
Can any one pls help me in this..
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Hi,
Reconciliation account for AP is linked to all the vendors. The Recon account will have the balances of all the accounts but whereas in the other report of Vendor balances in local currency you have the option to check for a particular vendor or range of vendors.
If you want to check the balances for regular vendors using report S_ALR_87012082 and in the output control you have many options. You can check the vendors with special G/L balances check that option.
Get back if you have more doubts.

Vendor bank in down payment request

Hi Experts
While doing regular vendor invoice (FB60), I can choose the vendor bank to pay, using the Partner Bank Type field (If the vendor has some bank accounts).
While doing down payment request - F-47, this field is missing and I can't choose a specific vendor bank.
I have tried to change the GL field status variant and also PK field status group but with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ofer

Hi Ofer,
Go to OB41 select Posting Key 39-> Click on Maintain Field Status-> Selcet Payment Transactions.
Check wether Bank Business Partner is in Suppress mode, if it is in suppress mode change it to optional.

Hi,
The vedor(OTV or Regular vendor) will be decided after the price comparision only.
Once the OTV (account group:CPD/CPDL) is finalised as the final vendor for procurement create a new vendor master record (With A/c group:0001) and maintain Inforecord and source list and create PO.
Maintain all the conditions in the Inforecord from the quotations (you have the update info option from price comparision itself)

One time customer/vendor

Good morning
Consultants..........
i am not clarified my self about one time vendors/customers ,,,,,,,,
pls let me know how exactly came in to picture one time customer/vendor and one example for this
Thanks in advance
Regards
prabhakar

Hi,
Practically speaking Customers/Vendor with whom you have an one time Purchase/Sales were called One Time Customers/Vendors.
Why ?
If your regular Vendor/Customer were not able to transact with you at some point of time,you find a Vendor/Customer to whom you have a transaction only once.
So basically you dont need any details about this Customer/Vendor because your transaction is going to last for one transaction.Thats why no Master Records are maintained for this One Time Customer/Vendor(reason behind this is to save some space).
There is one more situation where You have this One Time Customer/Vendor on a regular basis that is whenever your regular Customer/Vendor fails you are going to depend on this One time Customer/Vendor.So you need to segregate the transactions of One Time Customer/Vendor.
What you can do?
You can create a Dummy Customer/Vendor for a particular region with the details like Master Record Name,Currency,Sales Office.
If a One Time Customer from that region orders goods, use the customer number master record when processing the Sales Order. You enter the address and other data that is not in the master record in the Sales Order.This is called Collective Master Record of Customers/Vendors.

Andrew
