Supplier and Vendor ? difference.

What is difference between supplier and Vendor ?
Regards

Hi,
Vendor and Suppliers are almost same. Sometimes we may have difference. There is a concept called DUNS Number which they call as Supplier. There will be a system like third party system which is called one source system and they will collect all vendor information from different companies and sell these information to the people who need information reg vendors.
In that term Duns numbers are called as suppliers.
Hope this helps for you.
Thanks,
Arun

How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

Hi Forum,
This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
Question?
How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
Thank you all very much.

Hi Syed,
As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.

Deifference between GL balance and Vendor Subledger account

Dear
I have found the difference between GL A/C balance and vendor Balance report on the reconciliation account for the comapny code.
What i haev observed is that every year , the balance carry forward amount if difference on General Ledger report (S_ALR_87012277) and Sub Ledger report (S_ALR_87012082)..
Why the amount is different on these two report. Principally, when ever we post any amount to vendor account , the entry is passed on to Subledger account.
Here when i do run Gl report and Subledger report for same account lets say 1610000 recon account, he balances are different.
What can be the reason and how to correct it?
Thanks

Hi
There could be many reasons:
1. You have posted Special GL Transactions to vendor, which is a subledger A/c. In such a case, system would post to different reconciliation accounts. Check for totals of all the reconciliation a/c
2. There is a change in the reconciliation a/c in the vendor master and you have not run F101 for the same

F.05 - Foreign currency valuation of customers and vendors

Hello all,
My client wants to post the valuation differences realized gain/loss from exchange rates for customer and vendor open items to the customer/vendor account itself.
Meaning, at the moment the F.05 creates the accounting documents for revaluation of customer/vendor accounts like this:
Balance sheet adjustment account = Gain realized account or
Loss realized = Balance sheet adjustment account
and the required acc doc is:
Customer/vendor = Gain
Loss = Customer/Vendor account
What configuration are neccessary for the required acc doc to be posted automatically the differences.
Or is this even possible?
I mention that for G/L bank and house accounts valuations the acc doc is correct.
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

Hi
It is not possible to post the Re-Valuation Document to a Sub Ledger Account. Generally it is posted to an Adjust Accout and offsett will be Gain / Loss Account.
If your Customer Recon Acct is 124000 then a new account e.g 124001 need to be created and then Re-Valuation Document will be posted to this account once you configure the same in OB09.
The New Account 124001 will also be a Balance Sheet Account but not a Recon Account.
I am sure that the client wants to post the Revaluation Document to AR / AP instead of to a Balance Adjustment Account. It does not mean to post directly to subledger account.
Thanks
Prasad

Planned deliv. time in material and vendor master.

Hi,
in material and vendor master there is the field "Planned deliv. time".
How are these hierarchical organized?
Best regards

Hi
Planned Delivery Time are maintained in 3 places
1)In Material Master, MRP 2 View
2)In Vendor Master, Purchasing Data View
3) In Info Record, Purchasing Org View
Actually, In Vendoe master what Pln.Del.Time you are giving is common for all the material supplied by the vendor....
In Material Master, MRP View what you are maintaining....based on this thing only, the "Replinshment Lead Time" of MRP Planning is calculated...( RLT is nothing but PR Processing time + Planned delivery Time + GR Processing time)
In Info Record What you are maintaining, it will be copied to PO
Rewrd if useful

Integration of customers and vendors- customer exit for renaming

We are planning to use customers for capacity reservation functionality and vendors for subcontracting in APO.
Due to this, we will need Vendors and Customers in APO.
Currently some plants are using same number range for customers and vendors.
So, we will have to rename either customer number or vendor number.
In such situation, do you recommend renaming customer number or Vendor number?
Do you see impact of renaming customer or vendor in above processes?
Can you please e-mail me which customer exit I should use and steps that should be followed for renaming?
Thanks,
Srini

Your problem:
Different location types with the same name or number in the external system. For example, a customer and a supplier both have the number 1000. This problem occurs especially with vendor and customer numbers.
You can do the following:

Bus. add-in implementation name     APOCF001_TYPEDIF
Implementation short text     Locations of different type with similar names
3.     Choose Change.
4.     Confirm the warning message.
5.     On the Business Add-In Builder: Change Implementation APOCF001_TYPEDIF screen, choose Activate business add-in implementation.

Forex Revaluation for customers and vendors

Hi,
I ran FAGL_FC_VAL for period end for forex valuation of customers and valuation. Following Entry is posted:
Unrealised Loss A/c... Dr
To Forex balancesheet adjustment A/c
Forex balancsheet adjustment A/c is normal GL account.
Now i want to see vendorwise and customerwise forex valuation. Let me know how to get this report.

Hi Deepak,
I feel very sorry to say that there is not report to display the foreign currency valuation for customers and vendors. But I think you could defined difference reconciliation account for customers and vendors, then defined a foreign
balancesheet adjustment A/c per reconciliation account in OBA1,then you could confirm the value in FS10K or FBL3N.
Hope this information are useful to you!

Matching Customers and Vendors

Hi
How to match the customer and vendor ( both are same).

Hi Raju,
Customer: is a person who buys the goods and render services and finally pay for goods.
Vendor : Supplier of goods or services of a commercial nature; may be a manufacturer, importer, or wholesale distributor. For example, one component of the Index of Leading Indicators is vendor performance, meaning the rate at which suppliers of goods are making delivery to their commercial customers.
Some cases the vendor becomes a customer to the company.
Eg;- vendor supplying a raw material and finally purchasing the finished product from the company as a customer.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.Please reward if really helpful.

Regarding Diff between KR and KA, Vendor Invoice and vendor Document, SM35

Hi Guys
Can I know the major difference between Vendor Invoice and Vendor Document, KR and KA
Can I know how to create and batch job for the documents to be reversed every month starting which created in FBS1 screen to be reversed every month first week or first day of every month
Steps to set up the Batch job in SM 35 dont know exactly the tcode .
Please assist me how to reverse the documents posted to be setup to reverse on the 1st of every month
Regards
Ravi. Aadhi

Hi,
FBS1 is for posting provision entry for the current month and that will be reversed in the next month.
Yes you can schedule F.81 in background with the help of Job scheduler for this you need to take help from ABAper.
From Functional point of view you need to Create Variant for F.81 SAP program in SE38 and the same program & Variant can be used during execution. This is to be on the same date which you have entered at the time of FBS1.
Hope this helps!!!

Type of Supplier in Vendor Master

Dear All,
Can we maintain the type of supplier (Manufacturer, Dealer, Distributer, Trader) i the vendor master.
Regards,
Manish Jain

Hi
There is field in the Control View of vendor Master > Refernce data subscreen - Field name is Industry- where you make entry .
Industry key
An industry is a distinct group of companies with the same basic business activity. The industry key is used in selecting data for evaluations (for example, a vendor master data list). You can specify industries such as trade, banking, service, manufacturing, health care, public service, media and so on.
The industry field belongs to the general data area of customer and vendor master records.
You can define industry key based on your requirement. and can also fetch report based on these keys.

Miro hitting inventory and price difference

Dear All,
I would like to seek advice of the posting during MIRO on point 4 and 5 why there is a hitting on inventory account and price difference of the amount given? How system get the amount in inventory account and price difference account?
Really need advice.
1)
GR - qty 20
dr inventory $1500000
cr GRC $1500000
2) GI - qty 1 and now remained only 19 qty
moving price = $75,000
qty = 19
price unit = 1
value = $1425000
3) MIRO
dr GRC $1500000
cr vendor $1500000
4) MIRO say qty is 21 and amount no change
dr GRC $1571429
cr vendor $1500000
cr inventory $64626
cr price diff $6803
5) MIRO say qty is 20 and amount i enter $1507500
dr GRC $1500000
cr vendor $1507500
dr inventory $7125
dr price diff $375
thanks

refer my remarks in BOLD
4) MIRO say qty is 21 and amount no change
This scenario is not possible as you have taken GR for Qty 20 only.
*still you have added $ 71429 in GRC so this should be uploaded on Inventory ($71429 / 21 = 3401.38) hence Inventory account will get updated with $3401.38 * 19 (available stock) ie $ 64626 & diff of 21 - 19 = 2 * 3401.38 ($6803) will be updated in Price Diff account*
dr GRC $1571429
cr vendor $1500000
cr inventory $64626
cr price diff $6803
5) MIRO say qty is 20 and amount i enter $1507500
* Goods receipt is posted with 1500000 but vendor has presented invoice of 1507500 hence the additional cost ie 7500 has to be loaded on inventory but available inventory is 19 as 1 qty is already issued from stock hence (7500/20 = 375) for 19 qty inventory account will updated with $7125 (375*19) & for material which is already issued prior to taking invoice receipt ie 1 Qty (375 * 1) = 375 will hit to Price Diff Ac.*
dr GRC $1500000
cr vendor $1507500
dr inventory $7125
dr price diff $375

OFR - Supplier matching "Vendor ID + Vendor Site ID"

Hi
I am configuring OFR to read invoices that will be passed into an EBS environment. The standard set up of OFR is that Vendor ID identifies a unique vendor, but for EBS you need to be able to identify a supplier by VENDOR ID and VENDOR SITE ID.
Appendix D of "OFR A/P Solution Guide" goes through the configuration of VENDOR ID field. D1 defines how to set up with just VENDOR ID, and I have this working. D2 suggests some changes for "Configuraing Vendor and Site ID". However, after I configuring to match the suggestions, the OFR process does not match any Vendors. All invoices are dropping into 550 state, and when I open them in Verifier, the Vendor ID is blank. I can then enter the composite ID (e.g. 517001173 - where 517 is the vendor id and 1173 is the site id), and verifier lets this through, however the resulting XML contains <vendorid>517001173 </vendorid> - the composite id, which is not right.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have spent far to long trying to get this going.
Cheers,
A

I just went through this same scenario last week, and I hope this helps save you a bit of time.
Couple of things here -
- Assuming that you are using a view to retrieve the vendor pool data, in the view definition where you are concatenating the vendor id and site id, change your view definition to build this composite key as "VENDOR_ID || '~' || VENDOR_SITE_ID". Rebuild the pool.
(I'm assuming the OFR project ini file is set with the following tow settings "ASA_OP_01_AlphaNum=YES" and "VND_VL_AlphNumSiteSeparator=~") as this is the project default.
- Also in the ini file, ensure the following settings are present
SRC_VL_ID=VENDOR_INDEX
SRC_VL_SiteID=VENDOR_SITE_ID
SRC_VL_ExternalVendorID=VENDOR_NUMBER
- Finally, as Ryan noted, you have to edit the VendorASSA data. In the "Class Format" box, this value should read
[VENDOR_NUMBER]_[VENDOR_NAME]
or
[VENDOR_NAME]_[VENDOR_NUMBER]
not [VENDOR_INDEX]_[VENDOR_NAME]
