Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.
If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor. I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
So I need to know-
1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.
Thanks

Hi,
Define Shipping Data
Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations

Hi Guru,
Can i know what is the purpose to maintain Customer, SHipping data for each storage location for the STO between storage location?
Purchasing --> Purchase Order -->
Set up Stock Transport Order-->
Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations-->
Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations

The Sales org, Distribution channel, Shipping point, Vendor and Customer are maintained to created the delivery.
It is for the transfer of stock between storage locations with any movement type.
Eg: When you do a 311 movement type from Sloc A to Sloc B, then it will create a inbound delivery with the Vendor specified for Sloc A and an outbound delivery from Sloc B with the Customer specified assuming the customer and the vendor as the Plant.
You have to create a internal Vendor and Customer.
Hope it helps.

Define shipping data for plants / multiple sales areas should be assigned f

Dear All ,
Appreciate of you helped me in this:
I am trying to configure the intercompany STO process, when I reached the step of u201CDefine shipping data for plants u201C I found that the issuing plant is already assigned to sales Area ( 2000 , 60 , 10 ) which represent local sales , but I need to assign the sales area ( 2001 , 60 , 10 ) which represent foreign sales.
Both sales areas should be used because we are doing STOs with a local company here in jordan and another one in Algeria , so Is there any way to have both sales areas assigned for the same issuing plant?
Thanks ,
Malik

Hi Malik,
I am afraid this is impossible in SAP standard. For this purpose you have the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. The method PROCESS_ITEM of this BAdI gets one single parameter, IM_ITEM, which is the pointer to the PO item object. This object has a lot of useful methods, among them:
- GET_SHIPPING_DATA gives you the Shipping tab of the PO item derived by SAP, among them the ship-to number
- SET_SHIPPING_DATA allows you to amend the data on the Shipping tab
Let your ABAPer implement the BAdI and program its method PROCESS_ITEM.

Confirmation of Vendor and Customer General Data

Hi,
I have a following scenario. we want to allow the person with specific company code to confirm the vendor and customer data of his own company data.
User1 with Company Code C1
User2 with Company Code C1
User3 with Company Code C2
User4 with Company Code C2
Suppose User1 creates or changes the vendor data. Now only User2 with company code C1 should be allowed to confirm the changes using T-CODE FK09(for vendor) and not any other user 3 & 4 with Company code C2. and vice versa.
Is there any user exit in FK09 that will allow me to add these checks or any other possible solution.

FI Open Vendor and Customer Line item

Dear Experts,
Do we have to migrate the Tax code in the Vendor and Customer Line Items during data migration?
I read somewhere that is it not necessary to do so.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi ,
     It depends on the legal enviroment and sometimes on the settings used in your system. It is a matter of whether the Tax code information is needed in any circumstance that could arise subsequent to migration.
Examples where you must migrate the tax codes:-
     i) Deferred VAT is used.
     ii) Prepayments with Gross Display.
    iii) Prompt payment discounts are VAT relevant.
Kind regards

Error: "Not possible to determine shipping data for material" in STO

Gurus,
I have maintained the shipping point determination properly, still I get above error while creating ME21N.
What could be the possible reason?
Regards
Trupti

Hi,
On top of the Shipping Determination configuration done, pls check the following: -
1. Go to path IMG --> MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order --> Define Shipping Data for Plant --> Assign a Customer no.-Plant for the respective Plant. This number is created in Sales Customer Master.
2. Go to path IMG --> MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order --> Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule --> Make sure your PO Type is assigned to relevant Delivery Type.
This should fix the problem.
Thanks.

SPRO->Material Management->purchasing->scheduling Agreement->Setup Stock transport scheduling Agreement->Define shipping data for plants.
Select the particular plant and click on details there also you have to maintain the same customer that you have maintained in J1ID.
Then it will allow to create Stock transport order.
I did the same thing it was working for me.

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

To update vendor and customer details in BP transaction

I have created a donor in the BP transaction . i need to update the vendor and customer details for the reated donor.
please can someone suggest some BAPI's or FM's which are available to do the same.

Hello Om,
You can get vendor/costumer number and their names in FBL3N when you get bank ledger's line item.
You must use BTE functions.
I don't your techinal skills about SAP but if you don't know ABAP or ABAP dictionary details, you can get help your ABAPer.
I will explain step by step.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, You must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product : ZFI
Text : BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active : tick check fro activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure.
Define 4 fields.
Component : KUNNR - Component type : KUNNR
Component : NAMED - Component type : NAME1
Component : LIFNR - Component type : LINFR
Component : NAMEK - Component type : NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process : 00001650
Function Module : ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product : ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
I hope it helps to you.
Regards,
Burak.

Same person as vendor and customer

Dear
I have to create the same person both as a customer and vendor.
I have done the following settings: Added the number of vendor in customer master & customer in vendor master. Also checked the indicator for clearing in both.
I just wanted to know if now i do a sale to this person, will the Vendor Outstanding Amount get updated? Are there any more settings?
thanks
Pub

It's not mandatory to use the same ID for vendor and customer if they are the same entity, you can use different IDs w/o any problem.
It might be difficult, if you are using internal number assignment. It may occur that the ID is already occupied by a vendor or customer.
You can link your customer to your vendor both in XK01/XK02 (LFA1-KUNNR; control tab) and XD01/XD02 (KNA1-LIFNR; "Control Data" tab). One assignment is enough.
In this case you can always see, which customer belongs to which vendor.
Sometimes plant vendors, customers are defined via external number assignment, to have the same ID as the plant, but this should be decided in advance...(separate account group is used generally, with separate number range)

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.
Regards,
Bharathi.
