Restricting by vendor in MD04

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement that certain vendors will come to our office and access SAP to access their own purchasing relevant details. But this does not restrcit them to see only their vendors. Since they wanted to see their own purchasing docs, stock overview,material movements etc...I am thinking instead of giving them all the seperate transactions, I would use MDO4 which helps to review all of their information in a single transaction. But again, if they run MD04, they could mention any vendor and access other documents as well which should be restrcited.
So is there any exits available to throw an error if they try to input the other vendor so that this can be restrcited only to them.
Please help!

Mahee,
Aaaagh! I am incredulous that you would be considering giving a vendor access to MD04.  There is much information there that is none of his business.  He could share this info with your competitors.
I would say that a vendor should be able to see ONLY his POs and no others.
I would say that a vendor should be able to see ONLY GR against his pos and no others.
I can see that it MIGHT be appropriate for him to see Purchase Reqs that have been sourced to him.
I would say that a vendor should NOT be able to see stock, unless you have made him responsible for replenishment.
I would say that a vendor should normally not be able to see any detailed requirement for his material, only a qty/date.
Since it seems that you have not installed SRM, then one method to support this requirement is to send him a custom report or reports that will send him just the info he needs to do his job.  I can't imagine giving a vendor any kind of MD04 access.

  • How can I restrict a vendor with certain value limit?

    Hi Gururs,
    How can I restrict a vendor with certain value limit?.
    Scenario is like this
    If my company was decided to purchase goods from a particular vendor upto Rs.1000, if cross the rs.1000 limit don't allow the Posting the PO and get the Message as warning/error.
    Give the configuration setting's and T.codes
    Thanks and regards
    G.N.Rao

    Hi
    Go to T.Code oms4 and then select the material status BP (Blocked for purchasing)
    Click on Details
    In that under Purchasing select the option A= Warning or B=Error
    Click on Save
    Thus by doing this no further purchasing function for that material can be done. So the PO can not be issued
    So as and when the value limit reaches see that purchasing option is blocked
    So no further PO are generated in the future
    I hope this helps you out
    If found useful reward accordingly
    Thanks

  • For APP (F110) Authorisation to be restricted by vendor account group

    Hi,
    My requirement is to restrict the users to post the automatic payment program by vendor account group.
    Can anybody tell me the authorisation object name which can be restricted in rolls.
    Regards
    K Khatri

    Hi Ken,
    unfortunately no solutions found.
    Here is a reminder of the "business case"
    Within our company code we have different regional divisions with their individual A/P and Treasury departments running their F110 payment runs to pay "their" invoices. In our model this "regional division" is depicted as an SAP Business Area (GSBER).
    Internal Controllers and auditors argue that one Business Areas should not be authorized to run one anothers F110 to avoid paying one another's invoices.  That's wehre the idea of using L_LFA1_GRP came about.
    regards,

  • How to restrict a vendor to be used only for purchasing selected materials?

    A source list and purchasing info records allow us to restrict the source of supply (vendors) for the selected material masters / material groups. However, my task is the opposite: I need to restrict the material masters / material groups that can be procured from a particular vendor. E.g. Vendor 12345 can only be used for raising purchase orders for Material A and Material B. No other materials should be allowed in POs for that vendor. Is there a way in standard SAP to do this?

    Sorry for not properly understanding your requirement. Now one option comes to mind which you may explore. Create an Outline Agreement for a material group with Item category W and here enter the materials group from some materials which you do not want to be purchased from this vendor .But these materials must belong to the material group for which the contract is created .Than creat Source list on these items of the contract through the Item Overview screen of the contract & check the exclusion Indicator  . This will block these materials from being procured refering this contract . Also go through the documentation on "Maintaining a Source List for an Outline Agreement Item with a Material Group" .

  • Material Consumtpion restriction by Vendor

    Dear All,
    I am working with a pharma company where this unique requirement came out.
    Same raw material will be bought from Vendor A (M1) and Vendor B(M2) as well.
    Since these are pharma specific materials, they cannot even combine these two while consuming against a process order.
    The restriction should be done in the system in such a way that even if the M1 stock is not sufficient in the system for a process order, it should not go for M2. ie., for a given process order the RM consumption should only from one batch/vendor.
    The crude way of handling this is to have two different material codes,which i snot the solution acceptable because the stock tracking is done at one material code level.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    TKS

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply. In this case, I already have these materials batch managed and classification is also active where in I am capturing the vendor. However, with batch determination what is happening is when stock is not sufficient in M1 it is going to M2 batches also as both these batches in one material. What I want is to restrict if stock is not available in M1 related batches, system should show missing parts while consuming.....
    Any ideas

  • Want to restrict the vendor at plant level

    Hi Experts,
    As per standard SAP, once the vendor is extended to comapny code then buyer can place order in any plant of same company code. My client wants to restrict the use of vendor at plant and after some business approval, will allow to use the vendor for specifc that plant. Could you please help me, how can I acheive this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Ajit

    There is no solution for you in standard you have to develop something yourself.
    It is even possible to create purchase orders before a company code view is created for a vendor master, hence it cannot be controlled via company code blocks. The block at company code will have an effect on goods receipt and invoice receipt, which is too late.
    Purchasing blocks can only be set at purchasing organisation level. Even you can create a vendor with a plant level , it is not possible to set a block at this level. If this purchasing organisation serves many plants then a block will affect all plants.
    only with a  purchasing organization specific responsible for a single  plant you can meet your requirement in standard with a procurement block at purchasing org level.

  • Authorization Restriction at Vendor level

    Hi,
    We want to give authorization for only 1 vendor for doing Invoice verification (MIRO) to certain users.
    Can anyone provide some idea how to do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Use Authorization field for that vendor in Control view of vendor master and assign authorization group to certain users which have authorization control using authorization object F_LFA1_BEK from basis side for your requirement for having authorization for doing Invoice verification (MIRO) to certain users. Just consultant with Basis consultant.

  • STO returns and visibility of qty at plant vendor in MD04

    Hi Guru's,
    When I create a return STO in R/3 the requirement appears at the receiving plant in MD04 but no receipt appears at the supplying plant (it is a return so opposite to normal).  When I create a delivery for this STO nothing changes in the MD04 view at receiving or supplying plant.
    We would like to see the return and the return delivery as a receipt in MD04 so it it contributes to available qty.  Can you provide some ideas on how this could be done?
    Thanks

  • Restrict FI postings from FB60 at vendor account group level

    Hi Experts,
    We have a requirement whereby the authorization for posting from T-Code FB60 should be controlled at vendor account group level (LFA1-KTOKK).
    We are also fine with restrictions at vendor master authorization group level (LFA1-BEGRU/BRGRU).
    So a particular user should be able to post to a vendor in acct grp A but not acct grp B from FB60.
    However, it seems that T-Code FB60 checks only objects BKPFBLA, F_BKPF_BUK, F_BKPF_GSB, F_BKPF_KOA.
    Neither of the above 2 fields are available in these 4 objects.
    In case you have a solution for restricting FB60 postings, please reply.

    Hi.
    In vendor maser data you can maintain LFB1-BEGRU='vendor group', and check it in F_BKPF_BEK-BRGRU

  • Restriction of ME22N by Vendor

    Dear SAP friends,
    We are trying to introduce authorization checks by adding "authorization groups" to vendors in ME22N.Since it is not possible to restrict by vendor with the authorization objects which ME22N has in SU24.
    We have a vendor called xyz123. I have added authorization group "abc" to this vendor in XK02 and saved. I noticed that it got updated in LFA1 table after I made the change.
    Now the issue is that even if a user does not have the authorization object "F_LFA1_BEK",he is still able to change POs under vendor xyz123. Pls. suggest if the procedure I followed is correct or not. I appreciate your answers.
    Regards.

    Hello Dipanjan,
    Thanks for replying.
    But I am unsure of the procedure to activate authorization check by "vendor". Auth object M_BEST_EKG is not helpful in restricting by vendor. Regarding "F_LFA1_APP", can you please explain the procedure to follow for introducing the check in ME22N.

  • Protecting Vendor Bank Details Display

    Hi Gurus,
    My company reimburse expenses to employee, for that purpose I have created seprate Vendor group for employee vendors.
    Authorisatoin for create/change/display vendors are also available to Purchasing department, which is fine for normal vendors. But company don't want all the employee to look at the Employee Vendor Bank detail, which is in general master data segment.
    How do I only allow accounts department to create/change/display Employee vendors, which is having seprate Vendor Group. Can I restrict employee vendor group to only particular Users in accounts department?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    We used the existing vendor account group "REIS" and created separate roles for managing this vendor account groups (Authorization object F_LFA1_GRP-KTOKK). For the other roles we added all the account groups besides "REIS".
    Hope it helps.
