Vendor Blocking - XK01

Question

Hi,
  We have the following workflow:
   1.  Vendor is created using XK01
   2.  Vendor is blocked for Selected Company Code(posting block) and Selected
        Purchasing Org. using a BADI.
   3.  Workflow is triggered (LFM1 object) and the vendor is to be unblocked by the approver.
   I have created a subtype for LFM1 object which calls the XK05 event so that the approver can unblock the vendor.
  The problem I am facing is that the company code is not part of the LFM1 object and so the approver is not getting the option of unblocking the vendor posting block.
   Appreciate anyone's response if they have faced a similar problem and if so how they were able to solve the same.  This is really urgent!!
Thanks & Regards,

Answer 1

Hi,
I do not have too much know-how in XK01 but,
the problem that your new parameter is not filled as the standard does not fill it, you have to do it on your own, somewhere you have to give company code to your container:
I think you have following options:
1. SWE2 you add your paramater - here is the issue to find out which company code is involved, here is the question how you find the appopriate company code
2. look for exit/badi/... to trigger your own event by filling the parameter
You may look in XK01 for an exit/badi/BTE where you can trigger your workflow so that you fill the parameter -> this would be the easiest one.
XK01 -> SAPMF02K -> if you look for OPEN_FI_PERFORM you will find 2 bte-s
'OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00001421_E'
'OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00001440_E'
both of them include LFB1 and LVM1 -> LFB1 still includes company code what you need and LFM1 is the object...
Here you set the container values so that you fill LFB1 + company code parameter then SWE_EVENT_CREATE (or SAP_WAPI...).
Of course you need to check wheter your BTE really is called during your transaction.
3. Modify standard:
If you look at the note 134604 you find the place where event is created:
include MF02KFMC and FORM CALL_SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
Than click on where-used-list button you will get: SAPLWR11 and
SAPMF02K for example in FORM WF_BLOCKED_PURCHASING_EBENE the system sets some container values in the following way:     
SWC_SET_ELEMENT KRED_CONTAINER 'VendorSubRange'   
"Name des Param. im Workflow XLFM2-LTSNR.
here you can put your company code as well...
Of course SAP does not recommend to modify standard...
If I were you I would use solution 2.
