Reverse archived Vendor Infor Record

a buyer accidently marked a vendor for deletion some time ago. Now the vendor has been archived. Today we discovered that we need that vendor. Tried to unflag deletion but received an error that the vendor was archived. We do NOT know how to unarchive it so we can remove the deletion flag. Tried to create a new vendor info record, but SAP says, vendor already exists... Any suggestions?

You cannot retrieve the vendor once archived. Completely delete the archive file and then create the new vendor.
Select the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB in transaction code SARA and chose the delete program to select the archiving file (which contains the archived vendor). Delete this file completely and create new vendor.
Hope this helps

Archiving Purchase Info Records

Hi,
Can you please let me know what are the prerequsites that need to be completed before archiving a Purchase Info Record?
do we need to check for any other dependency/flag other than the Mark for deletion (table field LOEKZ 'X')
Please any one of you sugest me the solution for the above questions;
Thanks,
Jeevan.

Hi Jeevan,
In order to be able to delete an info record, you have to mark the Info Records for deletion.
To do so, use transaction ME15 and flag record for deletion. After you have deleted all info records, use archiving program RM06IW30 or follow the menu path Logistics - Materials Management u2013Purchasing - Master Data - Info Record - Follow on Functions - Archive.
Make sure that you only archive Records Marked for deletion as all records may be deleted!
Create Archive File: Info Record:
a) Select Action: Archive and enter a new Variant, for example: Z_EINA_ARCH_ 01, press 'Maintain'
b) On selection screen enter the data range (Vendor, Material, etc.) you want to archive.
c) Deselect the 'Test' flag if you don't want to test first.
d) Press green back-arrow and enter the description of this new variantt on the screen which follows.
e) Save the variantt which brings you again to the selection screen. Press green back arrow again.
f) To start archiving process (batch-job), press the 'Start Date' button and select the time when you want to start this process. Select 'Immediate' for instant processing and press the 'Save' button on the bottom of the Start Time' window.
g) Select the 'Spool Parameter' button and save entries. Eventually enter a valid printer to have the result outputted.
h) You are ready now to start the process. Press the 'Start' button and monitor the success with the 'Job Overview' button You can also go the 'fast path' by using transaction SE38, program RM06IW30 to archive info records. For large data archiving, use the background jobs and run those during off-peak times. If you run the program online, you will see a confirmation on the status bar telling 'New Archive file created:.... ' Delete Archived Records: Info Record
a) Follow the menu path: Tools - Administration - Administration - Archiving
b) Select the Object Name MM_EINA for info records
c) Select the menu button 'Delete'
d) Select the menu button: 'Archive Selection'
e) Click the archive created in previous step
f) Select Start Date for process and Spool Parameters for output
g) Submit selection.
h) Check status by pressing the Job Overview button

Archiving Vendor master

Hi,
I try to archive vendor master with the object FI_ACCPAYB   Vendor master data
I am able to archive the company code and the purchasing data by the series of steps I execute. As a result the entries are deleted from the database tables, LFB1 and LFM1.
However, the data from the table LFA1 is never deleted. Does archiving not delete the general data for the vendor master?
With Kind Regards
Faisal

Hello Faisal,
I believe you are missing archiving the "general data" step for vendor masters. Depending on the release you are at, you either need to make sure the "General master records" check box is selected in the prepare job (release 4.6C), or the "Data to be Archived" selection is set to "General Data" (release ECC 6.0).
Here is some additional information:
Definition
Vendor master data is archived and deleted using the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB.
Use
Vendor master data is stored in three different areas, and therefore also archived in three different areas:
●     General data
●     FI data (company code-specific)
●     MM data (purchasing organization-specific)
To be able to archive, you must set the deletion flag in the master record. You can set this flag for a complete vendor or for individual company codes or purchasing organizations.
Use
In order for the system to only archive data that is no longer needed in current business processes, this data must meet certain conditions. To make sure the data to be archived meets these conditions, the write program performs several checks.
Master data is only eligible for archiving if you have set the deletion flag in the master record in each area.
When you archive general data for vendor master records, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
·        The deletion flag is set.
·        The vendor is not locked for deletion.
·        Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
¡        Business partner of the vendor
¡        Vendor plants
¡        Customer/Vendor links
¡        Company code-specific data (FI data)
¡        Purchasing data (MM data)
¡        Vendor partner roles
Additional checks may be implemented in your system via the BAdI FI_ACCPAYB_CHECK.
When you archive FI data for vendor master records, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
·        The deletion flag is set.
·        The vendor is not locked for deletion.
·        Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
¡        Transaction figures
¡        Special general ledger transaction figures
¡        Open items
¡        Cleared items
¡        Store items
¡        Customer/Vendor links
¡        Parked documents
Additional checks may be implemented in your system via the BAdI FI_ACCPAYB_CHECK_FI.
When you archive MM data for vendor master records, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
·        The deletion flag is set.
·        Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
¡        Purchasing documents
¡        Purchasing info records
¡        Vendor partner roles
Additional checks may be implemented in your system via the BAdI FI_ACCPAYB_CHECK_MM.
Hope this helps.

Delete vendor master record

Dear All,
We need to delete some vendor master records and following the below procedure for deletion.
Step1:   Flag for deletion for the vendor to be deleted in XK06
Step2:   Maintained logical file and assigned path in T- code FILE (Physical path is maintained as F:\usr\sap\T3P\DVEBMGS00\work\{<FILENAME>} taken from T code AL11from the directory DIR_HOME)
Step3:   In SARA, maintained object as FI_ACCPAYB and in configuration maintained logical file name
                Selected write option, maintained variant with the vendor name ,selected the check box General master records and saved
                Executed the archive program
Step4:   In job overview write job is shown but not delete job (ARV_FI_ACCPAYB_WRI20090427155628)
We followed the above procedure for material master and it was deleted well but unable to delete vendor master.
Please let us know if there is any other procedure to delete vendor master or we missing anything in maintaining the logical file or in archiving procedure.
Note      : No transactional data exists for these vendors to be deleted.

Dear,
Deleting Vendor master is a big task even for experienced Consultants - I feel.
Usually you can change vendor name as DO NOT USE or DELETED. If any user try to use this vendor the name will appear as above.
Please check the OSS note:
Note 206812 - User exit for archiving MM vendor master data
Note 122641 - Vendor change documents not archived
Note 77670 - FI - Master data archiving Delete deletion flag
Note 84913 - Vendor master; deleting invalid partner functions

Hii purchase infor record when creating PR from a sales order

Hii
I have found an exit USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ when creating a sales order i can modify the table EBAN
there is a special flow where i need to remove clear out the Purchase info record (INFNR) since when creating a sales order the purchase determine his own vendor thus i have an error message which is trggered since the vendor of purchase infor record is different from the sales order vendor.
can you please advise what is the impact of deleting the INFNR data during the creating of sales order. Seems to me that the purchase requisition is not created automatically in this case?

Hi,
IN ECC 6.0 EHP 4, it gets copied from PR to PO but not in lower versions.
Hence you can achieve the same using some PO BADI's or through enhancement spots.
Thanks & Regards,

Indicator: Update Info Record
Determines whether:
The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
Use
The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
Procedure
Enter the relevant plant key:
A
Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
B
Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
C
Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
Dependencies
The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.

Error while Importing Vendor Master records

I get the following error when importing vendor Master records into the MDM repositorry
Cannot import qualifiers because the qualified lookup field is not mapped.
I noticed that the file I'm importing contains 1000 vendors. However the qualified lookup table "PHONE" for the vendors contain only 388 records.
After I imported the records I found that there was only 389 records in the repository.
I'm using standard map provided by SAP.
I ran the import again but this time I unmapped all fields for the qualified update.
Now the Import Manager uploaded the remaining 613 records.
I would like to know whether how I can load 1000 records in one load rather than having to go through the file twice.
This is important since I want to use the import manager server for my loads.
Thanks
manoj

Hi Manoj,
Try the following options.
1. In the Import Manager, Select Configuration->Options
set <b>"Merge qualified links using matching qualifiers value to Off"</b>
2. In the Map Fields/Values tab in Import manager, select the qualified field in which you are trying to import, right clik on the field->select Set Qualified Update -> Update -> Select All available qualifiers into Matching qualifiers->
New Links- Create
Existing Links -> Update (All Mapped Qualifiers).
Hope this should solve your problem.
Thanks and Regards

Partner roles in Vendor master record

Hi all
can some one explain me how to enter the partner roles in vendor master record
In sap help i didnt understood this point
"When working with partner roles, you must maintain the following settings:
Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners of a vendor that are to be entered in that vendors master record."
what does it mean
suppose i am creating vendor master record 1234
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1234       /*ordering address
i have to click 1234 in BA and select 'parner' at the top to enter the ordering adress right ...
what is the 'Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners' mean
it has to be like this?
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1235       /*ordering address
1235 vendor master record is created earlier and ordering address maintained ??
please help me in this record, any user manual or some screen shots to explain how to maintain partner roles in vendor master record
regards
Bhushan.N

Hi Sasi ,
What Ramkrishna explained is correct. I will try to illustrate it with the example.
Suppose you are creating a vendor 1234 which is Head office of the supplier where you need to place the order. But goods will be supplied from Pune plant so you should enter 1235 againts partner function GS , here 1235 is seperate vendor master record with Pune plant details & it must exist in the system so that you can use it as a partner function Hope this has cleared your doubts.
Similarly you vcan create other partner functions like payee,ordering party etc.
Regards,
Anand

Solved - Group Fields for Vendor Master Records in IMG

This was the solution.
The new field's data element I added to LFB1 did not have the "change document" field checked. I made that change and now that field shows up in IMG.
Hello all,
I added an append structure to the table LFB1. This structure has 1 field. I then created a "Modification-Free Enhancement of Vendor Master Record" to add the new LFB1 field to the vendor master screen, edit and display screens. This is the 3rd time I have done this. So far so good.
Now our functional analyst went into IMG to add this new LFB1 field to a "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records" which we have done 2 other times.
The new LFB1 field does not show up in the list of possible Table-fields.
There must be some other step I am missing.
Does any of this ring a bell? We are on version 4.7.
Thanks
Bruce
p.s.
This is the IMG path for adding 'Field Groups' to vendor master fields.

Hi Vandana,
There are several tables that are contain Vendor Master related data which can be used for extraction to BW. Some of the tables which can be useful for you are:
LFA1 : Vendor Master (General Section)
LFM1 : Vendor master record purchasing organization data
LFBW : Vendor master record (withholding tax types) X
WYT3 : Partner Functions
LFBK : Vendor Master (Bank Details)
LFB1: Vendor Master (Company Code)
ADRC: Addresses (Business Address Services)
ADR3: Fax Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADR6: SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADRT: Communication Data Text (Business Address Services)
You may use the Data sources mentioned in the previous update from Venky above namely :
0VENDOR_ATTR --- for master data attributes
0VENDOR_TEXTS -- For texts
Since the fields that you are using are from different tables so its better if you go for a Generic Data source where you can use the fields as per your requirement.
Thanks
