Single Vendor code-imp

Issue:
Presently we have some vendors who have their offices / factories at various locations. Eg: Crompton, ABB etc. Each of these locations have a different vendor code and there is no co-relation between two vendor codes.
We would like to use SAP features available similar to that of a single customer code (sold-to-party) and multiple ship-to-party, bill-to-party etc.
Here, we would like to have one vendor code for placing all POs for one corporate identity, and have selection options to pick up the vendors location from where the material will be shipped.
Concerns which we can think of at this stage:
1.Are there any implications with regards to the choice of tax codes?
2.On which vendor code will the vendors invoice be booked? On the vendor on whom the PO is booked or on the Invoice presented by vendor code?
3.We are going in for electronic payments. Will the payment process pick up the correct bank details based on the invoice presented by code?
4.When we take reports of purchasing values, list of PO etc, will data of all codes get clubbed under the main vendor code?
5.Data from Spiridon goes into MODIAS, a system used worldwide for purchasing information. Will the new process have any implications regarding MODIAS ?
6.Can we have different ship-from codes attached to the same parent vendor code in one purchase order ? The ship-to site location may not be the same place.
Please let me know, As i have to submit my report on it.

Hello Bidhu,
You can do this with the partner functionality for vendors. Have one main vendor and mutliple partner vendors for the same.
PI - Pay to partner
GS - Goods supplier
OA - Ordering address
Cheers !

Multple Services Vendors to have Single Vendor Code and also Multiple TaxCd

Hey SAP Gurus,
Please help me with my problem.
Background:
1. Currently on SAP 4.7 there are close to 10,000 Vendors. Many of these Vendors are acting as more than ONE Goods / Services Provider.
2. Few Services rendered by Vendors are subject to Withholding Tax (Tax Deduction at Source).
3. For the Withholding Tax we are using Std SAP provided functionalities and hence for each Service, attracting a separate TDS Provision, we have set up a dedicated Vendor Code. All Vendor codes are linked to one Payee so that the Automatic Payment Run issues the Cheques to ONE Vendor code only.
4. The Vendors masters creation is an ongoing activity. So, say for ex, in 2008 one Vendor was providing X service, started providing Y Service in 2009 leading to creation of dedicated Vendor code. The same Vendor is now providing 3rd service attracting a different provision of With. tax - Hence in 2010 for the "same" Vendor / Party, a 3rd Vendor Master Record with different Vendor Code (system generated internal numbering) is created.
Problem:
A. Our client wants to have ONE single Vendor code with MULTIPLE Roles assignment. I am not very sure if we can have it done in SAP by creating some ROLES.
B. The MM module is not live here. This means, the PO related functionalities (if possible) cannot be used.
C. There are multiple systems from where the Vendor Liability Line item is generated and it comes to SAP for GL Posting and Final payout (Thru Cheque or Electronic Fund Transfer etc.).
D. In our Indian Scenario, each Section or Provision, leads to set up of 4 TDS Tax Codes: Basic, Surcharge, Cess 1 and Cess 2.
Due to this requirement, we have configured the said respective 4 Tax Codes per section.
E. If a Vendor is providing 4 different services attracting 4 different Sections of TDS, this will lead to having 4 X 4 = 16 Tax Codes for each such Vendor.
F. The problem would become more complex on receiving the Transactional Data File (thru Interface) from various Applications generating the Liability Line Item for Vendor.
Revisiting the Requirement:
Have One Vendor Code per Vendor or Party.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks
SAP Consultant

Hi
To overcome this problem you have two options.
1. you can create only one vendor code.For the withholding tax purpose you can have multiple tax code options.At the time of giving input you can select withholding tax code from the drop down list.why dont you use that option?
2. Here you can use the Head office concept.
first you create vendor(ex: xyz).
after that you can create one more vendor code(for same vendor for different service) and assign first vendor(main vendor) in the head office field in the account information tab under recon account field.
what ever the posting are doing for the different services automatically routed to main vendor(Ex: xyz)

Broadcasting via Bursting to multiple email address for a single vendor cod

Hello -
I have a requirement to broadcast out a web template based scorecard to multiple email addresses for a given vendor code. We have gotten it to work via a single email address, but I need to send it to more than one email per vendor code.
Has anyone else tried this?
Thank you!

Hi Chris,
If my understanding is right, you must be using the master data of vendor Code(Which has an attribute to store Email IDs).
You can add multiple email ID to the same master data separated by semi colon ";"
If you are using user IDs instead, I dont think it is possible to use multiple user ID in the same attribute.
in this case you need to enhance the master data with a new attribute to store the second user ID and the create a separate setting for this attribute.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

How to upload multiple company codes data for single vendor by LSMW Idoc

Hi ,
My requ is like this.
uploading data by LSMW Idoc method
In source file we have two company codes data for single vendor.
It should create vendor for two company codes.
But its not creating its showing error.
How to handle this?
Thanks in Advance.

have you ever see this docu:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1a/178ac72d3011d3bc3500105a6588b2/content.htm
You can use the recording function to create a new object (or a new "import method") if neither a standard batch input program nor a standard direct input program nor the BAPI/IDoc method is available for a data object.
Recordings are static, thats why you cannot do such flexible things like multiple company codes at the same time.
But with IDOC method it is certainly possible, I have done it several times already.
Unfortunatly the creator of this thread did not say what error he got with the IDOC method. Maybe he will add this. Otherwise I dont think that anybody can help

Vendor Master- Single Vendor or mulitple vendor code for diff address

I have a confusion in vendor Master
1. How to handle a problem of single Vendor with its presence in multiple cities. For eg., a vendor ABC has office in banglore, Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.
2. How to handle a vendor which is having multiple offices in a same city. For ex. ABC may have 2-3 diff offices in Mumbai itself. Each of these office may or may not be functionally similar.

ABC and PQR are same companies having address as MUMBAI- Andheri and MUMBAI- Thane.
So these vendors are duplicates?
no these are not duplicates if they have different addresses.
even the same street address but different company names is not a duplicate.
The big question is, how do you do your business with them?
What ROLE do these different addresses (vendors) play for you in your processes?.
Is this information important for you?
do you want or have to control or default something based on this information?
Only by answering these question to yourself you can decide whether you need to maintain the second vendor at all
And if you need to make use of partner functions.

Vendor Code against Vendor Name

Dear All,
Is there any standar report or any other way by using we can find Vendor Code against Vendor description,,
Pl note we are having 960 vendor descriptions and we want to find vendor code against each..
We want to avoid indivisual search for vendor
Pl help

hi,
You can't find them all at once...
but in the other way you can make a search using the single table...
Do execute the table LFA1...w/o putting any entry...
And then inside the table you'll find the description with the codes to search..

Single vendor multiple currency

Dear Experts,
i am having a problem, a single vendor will supply a material both in INR and USD, but in vendor code i mentioned in INR , please help how to solve this issue.
regards
rajakarthik

Hi,
This can be handled through Vendor Sub-range (VSR). In Purchasing Screen of Vendor master, click menu "Extras --> Add. purchasing data" and here activate "Data retent. at VSR level allowed"
Now click on "Alternative data" button and here enter following;
Vendor Subrange, VSR description, and activate "Purchasing Data" and Press Enter and here in this screen maintain the different purchasing data for the vendor for e.g. Order Currency, Terms of Payment, etc... and Save
Now In ME21N, select the appropriate Vendor Sub-range under "Material Data" Tab to select the appropriate vendor currency.
Else
Also you can directly change the vendor currency in PO at Header level under "Delivery/Invoice" Tab and then chnage the condition currency in "Conditions" Tab at item details level.

Failed to retrieve data from the database.DB Vendor Code 156

Hi,
We recently migrated our scheduled Crystal Reports from BO XI R2 platform to BO XI 3.1, and are having issues with select reports that pull from the same SQL database. The tables and fields exist in the database - and I ran the SQL in a different tool and the syntax is correct. When I try to run an on-demand or schedule one of these reports in 3.1 Infoview I receive the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 156 ]
Running:
CR 2008 SP2
BO XI 3.1 SP2 (FP 2.7)
Please advise! Thanks!

Hi LuAnn,
Not really clear what he said but I believe this is correct. The BOE servers are typically running under the local System Account. So when it passed the report job from the BOE Server it is the Local System account that the database is getting. We only do single hop for security. Which means if you are logged into InfoView under your local domain account and try to run a report BOE will not, unless specified in the custom database connection options in the CMC, pass your credentials to the DB but will pass the local system account credentials which is likely why these reports are failing.
As A TEST only Ask your Administrator to set up a user account in MS SQL Server that has rights to run all reports. Or when you create the report check on the option to use Trusted Authentication. Then when the reports are published to BOE your log on credentials should get passed to the DB server through BOE.
You'll have to more testing to find a Use account that you can run BOE Servers under and still maintain DB security and report level security that works for you. I also suggest you post your security questions to the BOE Administrator forum to get help configuring all of this and what others are doing.
Thank you
Don

Oracle Database Vendor Code 1427

HI, I'm not sure if this question should go here or in the Connectivity forum, but from what I can see, it is caused by a report issue.
I am getting an error stating "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 1427 ]" I have also seen an error box stating "Single row sub-query returned multiple rows"
These reports were all working properly, but suddenly stopped and returned this error. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Sorry for not being able to provide more info, but I am trying to work remotely.
Thanks,
Aaron

I don't use Oracle so I'm not too familiar with the error codes but from the description you provided... It sounds like you have a sub-query in your select list that's returning more than a single record.
Are you using a SQL Command to pull the data set or have you placed a select query in a SQL Expression field?
If I'm correct, simply adding a MIN or MAX function to the sub-query (so that it can only return a single row) should do the trick.

I encountered an error in the Payment Wizard screen as I was creating an Outgoing Payment for petty cash expenses. On the "Recommendation Report" screen, I clicked "Non-Included Trans." and saw that one of the vendors (Vendor Code: WILCO) has the followi

Hello,
I encountered an error in the Payment Wizard screen as I was creating an Outgoing Payment for petty cash expenses. On the “Recommendation Report” screen, I clicked “Non-Included Trans.” and saw that one of the vendors (Vendor Code: WILCO) has the following error:
“The document amount is greater than the max. amount allowed in the payment methods linked to the BP”
Upon checking, the “PCF-W” Payment Method linked to WILCO does not have any restrictions, nor does WILCO have any credit/commitment limit set. I have also appropriately defined the Dummy Business Partner Bank (under Payment Terms) as well as checked the “Included” box for PCF-W on the Payment Run-Payment Methods screen.
Could anyone please help me on this?

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Payment Wizard - step 6of 9 - recommendation report PLD has no vendor code

Dear all,
Our customer is on SAP2007A SP00 PL41, US localization, SQL2005, no 3rd party add-on
They are using Payment Wizard. On create new >> step 6 of 9, recommendation report, when they tried to print the report, we cannot see vendor code and vendor name. They are blank. We are using the system PLD.
If we just go through the exsiting recommandation, we can have vendor code and vendor name on the report. This only happened when we create new payment.
I can reproduce this in SAP2007 SP01 PL08, CA localization. Is it a bug or a system behavior? Thanks.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi,
Please check the issue in the Demo database on the Latest patch.
I think the customer is doing the Print Preview when the Payment wizard is being run.
Check for the saved recommended run , whether you can get the Print/print preview or not.

Vendor code in Stock Transfer Inspection Lot(08)

Hi Everybody,
I have noticed that when a Stock Transfer lot is created, the 'Data for lot orogin' tab in the Inspection Lot shows Vendor code in 'Data for goods receipt' section at times and at times Vendor code is not included in this section.
Please throw some light on the situations under which the vendor code is included and excluded.
Regards,
Manish.

I can't say for sure but I would compare the triggering document. I.e. Exactly what material movement is used in each case and what type of document triggered it, (I.e. an STO order). Than look at those documents and see if and why a vendor number is available.

Failed to open the connection - database vendor code 17

I'm upgrading a VB.net Windows Forms application from 1.1 to 4.0. In the reporting form, the list of reports you can choose are pulled from a folder where the .rpt files reside. Once the user chooses a report and executes it, vb code populates the current database connection information and displays the report in the report viewer control.
The following things are true:
- Version 1.1 works on my systems and my customers systems
- The code has not been changed, except that it now targets .Net 4.0 instead of 1.1
- The exact same .rpt files are being used
- Version 4.0 connects to the same database my customer is using, and I can run the reports just fine from here.
- Version 4.0 is able to connect to the database just fine from my customers systems (using the same connection information provided to the report)
- My customer installed this: http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_2.zip
The only problem is that my customer encounters this error when trying to run any report from his systems:
Failed to open the connection.

I read all of the articles I could find, and they either don't describe this exact situation, or there is insufficient information for troubleshooting this issue. Are there steps that I've missed to make Crystal Reports for VS2010 work on my customer's systems?
Your help is appreciated,
Mark

Hi Mark,
More information required -
- Does this happen with all reports or few?
- What is the connection type used for the report to connect to the database (OLEDB,ODBC etc)
- Are you changing the database at runtime?
few things you could check
- Check if the database is accaessible from the client machine with proper permissions / rights.
- If its an ODBC connection check if the DSN with same name is created on the client machine.
- Check the driver / provided used by the report to connect to the DB, verify that the same is installed on the client machine. (SQL NAtive client, SQL Server etc)
Also take a look at below articles discussing the simillar issue.
[CR for VS2010: Failed to Open Connection [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]|CR for VS2010: Failed to Open Connection [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]]

Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 53 ]

I'm upgrading one of our applications from Visual Studio 2005 to 2010. In the process I'm also switching our reports to run using Stored Procedures instead of Tables/Views. Everything runs fine on development machines after all the migration work. On the server however, it does not work. And I am getting the error message ""
Server is Windows 2003 Server 32 bit. And yes, I have installed the latest runtimes version 13.0.2000.0 on the server. There have been no other changes on the server other than to switch the target framework on the website in question from .net 2 to .net 4, and then to modify the web.config file to remove references to the older Crystal Reports and replace with references to the newer version.
I've seen many other threads on this "failed to open the connection" errors but none of them are my problem except there is one post that remains unanswered where someone had the same Database Vendor Code 53. I don't know what that error means, spent a considerable amount of time researching that before asking this question.
Lastly, it appears that this error only happens when the report is pulling data from a Stored Procedure rather than Tables/Views. If I re-copy the previous reports, they still work.
The ODBC drivers haven't changed, nor should they. They are fully up to date on that server machine.
I can't think of anything else that would be indicative of anything other than this is a bug. Here is the error text as it shows up in the event log:

Lots of great info here, except for the database; MS SQL? Oracle? Etc?
Database Vendor Code 53 is an error code that the CR engine simply passes straight from the database it's self. E.g.; look at your database error code and you should be able to find a verbose description of the error.
As a test, what happens if you add the report to your project and run it in the CR design part of the .NET IDE?
- A quick google search of Error 53 (for MS SQL - an assumption) comes up with a number of good hits. E.g.;
