Vendor Hierarchy Validity Dates

Hi
I have a scenario where we need o create Vendor Hierarchy with past validity dates to support rebate aggrements, SAP standard will only allow you to create Vendor Hierarchy with validity date as current date.
What is the alternative approach for this, is there any way we can maintain vendor hierarchy with historic past date as validity date.
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards
Vickey

Hi venkat,
I have worked in Territory but never encounter any mass update issue. I dont think that there is any standard API to do so. You would have to write a program/API to do so.
Why mass update of validity dates for Territories ? I am interested to know the current Territory model at your site. When you create any terriotry then its Valid to date remains as 31.12.9999 by dafualt. As per your requirement you can create more valdiity period within this period. Had you delimit the valid to date during Terriotry creation ?

Validity date in RFQ

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me what is the correct definition of the Validity start date and end date in the RFQ.
The reason I am asking this question is , If you eneter the start date and end date in the RFQ and create the PO with reference to RFQ, these dates gets copied on to the PO. if the document type of PO is NB then these fields are not visible on PO screen bu in the background the table EKPO is updated with these two filed. And the if you try to eneter the SES after these dates sysetm is not allowing and giving the message as SES date is beyond the valididty date.
Has any one come across any such issue. Can any one suggest any solution to this.

Hi Don,
RFQ means...requesting quotation from a vendor. Validity date start and validity end means the quotation should be send before the validity end date from the vendor. Before getting the quotation and before knowing the rate, how could you make purchase order to that vendor. Before you rise PO, you should maintain the quotation in ME47. As per standard SAP, you should rise po w.r.to quotation.

Hierarchy Key Date

I've noticed something strange in our system.
We have queries defined using a time-dependent hierarchy for which we specified a key date different from the query date.
Now I cannot change it because the selection options for key date are greyed-out. Even creating a query from scratch with the hierarchy results in greyed-out key-date options on the hierarchy. It defaults to the key-date of the query. Can this be a change in behaviour after upgrade to 3.5?
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
Ive made an additional search for OSS notes. Found a lot, concerned mainly on incorrect hierarchy or query key date.
Found also very strange note, # 674220 Date entry not valid for time-dependent hierarchy structure:
<b>Symptom
For characteristics with time-dependent hierarchy structures, the
hierarchy validity date is always the key date of the query
Other terms
Query, time-dependent hierarchy structures
Reason and Prerequisites
Programm Error
Solution
The date radio group buttons available for Key date
has no meaning, when hierarchy structure is time-dependent. The validity
date for hierarchy will always be taken as the key date of the query.
in this case. Hence, kindly ignore any other date entered in this field.
A corrective action will be taken in the future release to stop
entering any other date.</b>
It might be understood that hierarchy key date should always be as a query key date. Though the note was applicable to earlier releases but it could be read as that in future releases this option for hierarchy key date is going to be disabled.
Ive searched BW for 3.5 SP notes. Found nothing about this option to be disabled. Moreover, in my system this option is enabled. So, if there is a bug, I couldnt find anything usefull.
Documentation says that this option is to be enabled for time-dependent hierarchies only. So, if your situation is not caused by a bug, then something might be wrong with your hierarchies. Please look directly in SE16 at your H, I, J & K hierarchies tables, try to find something unusual. Maybe DATEFROM or DATETO values are missing in H table. Maybe the hierarchy is not active or corrupt. Or something.
Should you have found nothing, the last resort is to raise OSS note to SAP.
Best regards,
Eugene

Vendor's master data validation

Hi,
I need to create a validation at vendor's master data. The validation that I need is regarding the IBAN is populated when vendor's bank data are informed. In other way, I want to ensure that IBAN is in the system when a vendor's bank data is informed.
I have check the Function Module EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 in order to create a user exit, the tables are:
T_LFBK     LIKE     LFBK
T_LFB5     LIKE     LFB5
T_LFZA     LIKE     LFZA
T_LFBW     LIKE     LFBW
T_LFAS     LIKE     LFAS
T_LFAT     LIKE     LFAT
T_LFLR     LIKE     LFLR
T_LFM2     LIKE     LFM2
T_WYT1     LIKE     WYT1
T_WYT1T     LIKE     WYT1T
T_WYT3     LIKE     WYT3
Unfortunatelly I do not see TIBAN table, so I am afraid that i cannot validate that IBAN is place
Does any body knows hoe to do this validation that i need
cheers
Rafa

hi Rafa,
there is a trick to do it from the exit. You have to define a field symbol and access the TIBAN structure through that:
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <tiban> TYPE tiban.
ASSIGN ('(SAPMF02K)TIBAN) TO <tiban>.
Now you can check:
IF <tiban> IS INITIAL...
It is also possible (I did not check) that tiban is an internal table and not a structure, in this case you have to go:
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <tiban> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
ASSIGN ('(SAPMF02K)TIBAN[]') TO <tiban>.
I am also not sure that the screen name is SAPMF02K, pls check...
hope this helps some

How can I set an validity date for a given vendor?

Hello,
we are currently trying to set a "validity date" for vendors.
Basically, our vendors need to be audited, and are "accepted" for a period of time, beyond which we'd need to re-audit them.
What we'd like the system to do is block use of the vendor if this date was exceeded.
Anyone has an idea on the way to achieve this?
PS: We know that there is a way to do this at the material level, we instead wish to manage it centrally for the vendor
Tx

Hello Nisha,
before doing business with a new vendor for services, our QA group needs to go thru a serie of verifications. We check various things such as insurance, certification,...
Once "approved", the vendor can be utilised by the plant for a certain period of time, after which a "re-audit" is necessary.
What I'd like to implement is a field where the QA group would enter this date, after which the vendor would be automatically blocked for usage.
This would then trigger the "re-audit" followed by the release from QA (who'd re-modify the date with the new one), and so on.
The vendor is not necessarily used for supply chain. Sometimes, it could be for services , maintenance, or other.
Tx for the ideas.

How to use Vendor Hierarchy in Vendor Rebate Agreements

Hi Friends,
I need to use vendor hierarchy in vendor rebates agreements.
Here are some inputs from my end so far I have done:
Customizing Settings for vendor hierarchy and rebate agreement (agreement type 3000 and condition types A003/ A004) have been done.
While creating the PO after creating rebate agreement (MEB1) I am able to see all higher partner functions (2A,2B,2C,2D) at header level in PO under partners.
I have (say ) 3 vendors V1, V2, V3 (V1 being highest) set up in vendor hierarchy (MKH1).
My requirement is; if my company make any rebate agreement with vendor at any node below the highest in the vendor hierarchy then that business volume should be taken in consideration for rebate purpose with the vendor at higher level while making any agreement with him.
I request you to please let me know how to set up this.

Hi lvshaolong,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I believe I have not misunderstood the business scenario.
But may I request you to tell me the process steps for the senario you told which is "Normally , you define condition with highest node in hierachy and then you can refer to it when you do biz with the lower nodes". How vendor rebate process takes place this scenarion (I mean process flow).
This might help me to find some solution further.
More input from my end:
When I am creating the PO against a vendor included in the vendor hierarchy(after agreement), rabate condiion A003 or A004 is not appearing in pricing and hence during BV comparison,system does not find any data to update.

Vendor Hierarchy in MDG

Hello experts,
I have a requirement for making a replication of Vendor Hierarchy, how it is on ECC, i need to produce the name results in MDG Supplier/Vendor.
I do know that MDG works on Business Partner functionality, which is different.
My question is, do we design from scratch Vendor Hierarchy or extend it.
Also some inputs from MDG BP perspective, why is it different
thanks and regards

Vendor hierarchy

Hi,
I am using ECC 6.0.
I would like to create vendor hierarchy in ECC just to enable reporting on vendor group.
A vendor group contains several vendor belonging to the same group.
I do not want to drive any price or address determination.
Could someone drive me in this process ?
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Yann

Hi Yann,
No not exactly : I meant to use this exit to validate the entries in the group field that you were going to use to make sure that the entry in that group field was indeed a valid vendor number.
But since we don't have a field yet, there is nothing to validate.
You can explore via SE11 some more possible fields in LFA1, LFB1, LFM1, LFM2 etc..because not all fields are visible on screen for all account groups.
If you don't find any suitable candidate, you either use standard hierarchies or add a Z-field to one of the standard tables ( via append structure : upgrade safe ) and put it on the screen. I'm nearly sure there are also screen exits for this ( certainly on the customer master side ),

CIN - J1ID TAX RATE MAINTAINED VALIDITY DATE (INDIAN SCENARIO)

IN INDIA TAX RATES CHANGE DURING EVERY YEARS BUDGET. EXCISE AND CUSTOMS DUTY CHANGE FROM MARCH WHEREAS SALES TAX CHANGES FROM APRIL. THIS TIME DUE TO RECESSION AND ELECTION THE EXCISE DUTY STRUCTURE WAS CHANGED THRICE FROM DEC 2008 TILL DATE. FROM 14 TO 10 AND NOW 8%. IN CIN DATA (J1ID) THE TAX RATES ARE ALSO TO BE MAINTAINED. NOW THE TAX RATE IS STORING DIFFERENT VALIDITY DATES. THIS AFFECTS THE POSTING OF MIRO AND MIGO. WHILE POSTING THE DOCUMENT IT CONSIDERS THE POSTING DATE AND APPLIES THE TAX RATE AS PER THAT DATE. YOU HAVE PENDING DOCUMENTS WHERE THE TAX RATE IS DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT DATE. IS THERE A SOLUTION SO THAT TAX RATES ARE CORRECTLY PICKED.
BEST REGARDS
PANKAJ

HI,
The condition type has nothing to do with the consignment settlement.The factor which influence for
consignment settlement thro MRKO is the price u have given in PIR,PB00 & the tax code which u have
entered in the PIR tax code tab.It is no way connected to the vendor master.So if the tax code is
changing for different time period ask them to change manually.

Creating Vendor Hierarchy?

Dear BWers,
I need to create a Hierarchy in BW for Vendor that is based on table LFMH. Can anybody please guide me through the steps of creating the datasource in R/3 for a hierarchy. Also is 0VENDOR_LKLS_HIER based on LFMH? How do i find that? Thanks for all the help.
Raj

Dinesh,
The second link seems to be right for me for creating a custom datasource for a hierarchy in R/3 for 0VENDOR. Can you please describe this procedure for doing this in R/3? Also can i customize the available datasource 0VENDOR_LKLS_HIER so that it takes data from table LFMH which is the vendor hierarchy table in R/3.
The procedure suggested in the second link by you:
Sice you do not have any hierarchies available you would need to build the hierarchy using a function module extractor. In the extractor you need to populate the parent nodes, child nodes, intervals, etc from any table/view. You would use the Type Group "RSAP" for creating the hierarchy.
Thanks

Info record validity date is in Past

Hello,
we got an error saying "Info record validity date is in Past" while creating the PO.
But we had checked all validity conditions in PIR and all are fetched correctly from PIR to PO.
Due to this error we are unable to post the PO.
kindly guide me further where we need to check the settings in the system.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
SI

Check your posting period. Use OMSY to check. MMPV to reopen.
Check the info record. There you have Available From and Available To fields for the Vendor. Recheck the Valid to field in Conditions tab.
Check the souce list (ME01) for the material and plant. There you have valid from and valid to dates.
These are just suggestions. Let me know if your problem is solved.

Standard SAP report for vendor hierarchy

Hi Gurus,
Does SAP have standard report for vendor hierarchy? We want to use vendor hierarchy to capture all the expense to a list of vendors and wondering if we can utilize some standard report to see the total supply or we should develop custom reports to handle them?
Thanks a lot

Did you put the date fields to be dynamic in your variant? i.e if in your variant you specified date range of last year, this will not work for this year and eventually give you an error message that the date is not valid...
