Update LFM1-KZRET ( returns vendor in Mk02 )

Hi experts,
I am doing a BDC to update vendor purchasing data ( LFM1-KZRET ) but its throwing the following error.
It is not possible to copy data from field 'Returns with shipping proc.'
It is allowing me to change manually but it does not allow me through BDC.
Help required.

I have to admit that the functionality you described under point 1 is not even known by me.
...but we are not using this return vendor flag for several reasons.
Our return process is supported by an own developed application. We actually have that few returns that always a consultant was needed to explain what master data has  to be extended until it could be posted successfully
It is not seldom that a vendor is as well a customer to us, hence this customer master exists already and we have to avoid that a duplicate gets created unintentionally by setting this flag.
From this points of  view I would actually say that your described functionality is dangerous to us
as it brings an inconsistency in the data maintenance processes.
And...we have a central master data team who is responsible for the general data, a buyer is not allowed to create this data, it has to be requested via workflow to ensure the correctness of address and tax data and to avoid duplicates
This LFA1-KUNNR is as well used for other processes like subcontracting. Do you then enter the customer number manually or do you set the returns vendor flag to get it created automatically?
I agree that some old programs could deserve some restorations, I desperately miss a BAPI for vendor and customer load. I usually load with IDOCs and here you are certainly resricted to the object itself. E.g. I have to load my main vendor data with CREMAS Idoc followed by ADRMAS Idoc to create the central addresses. And here even the field lengths for the address fields are different.

  • Error when marking return vendor in MK02 ( field LFM1-KZRET )

    Hi experts ,
    I am doing BDC to update vendor purchasing records ( MK02 ) but it is giving me the following error.
    'It is not possible to copy data from field Returns with Shipping Proc. '.
    Can anyone help me on this or suggest an alternative.
    Best Regards,

    Hi
    The following are common reasons for BDC error sessions:
    ■ Posting periods are locked
    ■ C hanges in master data, e.g., in general ledger (G/L) accounts, profi t centers are locked for posting
    ■ Changes in screen layout of SAP program
        These scenarios are only examples; there may be several reasons for errors. To process incorrect BDC sessions, you need to fi nd out the reasons for these error sessions. The easiest way to do this is to analyze the BDC log. In transaction code
    SM35, select the BDC sessions in question and click on the log. The Batch input: Log Overview screen will appear; double-click on any of the rows of the Log Overview tab to see an error screen. After analyzing the error, fi x it and process the BDC
    sessions.

  • Data transfer error when checking the Return vendor flag (LFM1-KZRET)

    I am working on a conversion program to update Vendor Master with return vendor flag (LFM1-KZRET). When ever i do it manually it works fine. But, if i try it through recording or BDC program i get an error saying '
    It is not possible to copy data from field 'Returns with shipping proc.'. Please can any one let me know if there is any other method to update this data or any OSS notes to be implemented to solve this error.
    The problem is only occurring when we try to update the field while doing recording or BDC.

    Hi Rob,
    I have already checked the note 964533 and i feel that its the solution to my issue. But our system is on release 500 and this note only supports release 600. We were not allowed to implement it on release 500. I have sent a customer message to SAP for asking the possibilies of implementing this note on release 500 and regarding any side-effects and waiting for there response. Thanks for your help and just want to know whether you have ever faced this issue.

  • Vendor Master - "Returns Vendor" Field

    Hello folks,
    I am trying to load vendor master data.  For Purchasing Data, there is a checkbox titled "Returns Vendor" (LFM1-KZRET) - indicates that a vendor return is carried out using shipping processing.
    I am running into problems trying to load this field automatically.  The standard load program does not work since when you tick this checkbox, a pop-up comes up asking you to specify a customer (and creates a new customer if you don't specify an existing one).  However, in my case, the "customer" field in the general data view of the vendor master record will already be populated with an existing customer.... so when I tick the "returns vendor" checkbox, the pop-up will by default list the customer number and won't allow me to change it anyway.
    I have also tried creating a BDC recording, but it prevents me from doing so.
    I hope my explanation isn't too confusing...can anyone help me out?
    Thanks,
    Jayesh

    Hi Rajesh ,
    What is return Vendor?
    As per my undetstanding  , when you are doing returns the sales area determined  automatically from customer master?
    Note-Vendor can also customer  OR Customer also  can be   Vendor , here there is link between these two  ,once  you  assign that  vendor in Customer master general data-Control data - you have field  you can assign that vendor code there, the same with vendor  you can also link customer with Vendor in the same assignment in vendor master data
    May be    this assign is done already for that  customer or vendor plz  check.
    Hope it is helpful to you

  • Update Private Note in Vendor Master

  • Sub contractor marked as return vendor

    When a customer (ship to party) is created  for a required sales area and assigned to sub contracting vendor,marked as return vendor (view :purchasing data ) the system automatically extends customer to all available sales areas.(KNVV table)
    Can anyone please let me know how to restrict customer not extended to other sales areas apart from created for.
    Thanks in advance
    Mallik

    hello, Murali.
    very helpful, indeed.  but i guess we don't have to define our own sales order type, because we will be using MTO, and the MRP strategy would be the key... interesting.
    is still necessary that we issue a PO for a non-valuated customer material, which we reference when creating an inbound delivery (type EL)?  in 0VLK, there is a setting for "order required", there are entries such as "purchase order required" and "inbound delivery for sub-contracting" - what is the significance of the latter?
    when we MIGO the material, the movement type should be the one so that the components are kept as customer material.  perhaps even store it in a special storage location...
    if we are to automatically limit this to the specific sales order, i guess PP can configure the BOM so that the component is sourced from this stock?  and is it properly described as "consummable"?
    i know that these are extended questions... but i am very thankful!!!
    regards...

  • Return vendor rejection from production line

    Hi,
    Guru,
    How to return vendor rejection from production line and it should be vendor wise.
    regards,
    rakesh patel

    Hi..
    To achieve this requirement there are some developments are required.
    e.g.:- One different movement type should be there for handling vendor rejection from production line to transit store.
    One different transit store should be there  for handling the rejections.
    And you must know that particular material has come from which vendor e.g. 10nos are from xyz vendor and 7 nos from abc vendor.
    Now you can do the transfer posting thru MIGO from production line to transit store. and can select supplier from partner tab.
    Different movement type and storage location would be very helpful for reporting part. And maintain discipline.
    Regards
    Vivek.

  • 2 'Invoicing party" in Vendor details (MK02)

    The zone 'Invoicing party" becomes empty and non-modifyable in ME31K after having added another 'Invoicing party" in the Partner Functions of the vendor in MK02 (requirement).
    After this change in the Vendor details, the aim is to have the zone "Invoicing party" in the Header Data for a Contract (ME31K) filled in by default and modifyable.
    Customizing (SPRO>Define Screen layout at Document Level) does not seem to resolve the problem.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    For changing Partner functions in SPRO
    SPRO>Materials Management>Purchasing>Partner Determination>Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents-->Define Partner Schemas
    Assign Partner Schemas to Document Types
    Check which parner scema assigned to your contract document type,Then you change partner scemas in Define partner functions (change/mandotary)
