Vendor Master - Can Postal Codes be different?

Hi.
A vendor has his office in Country X  and the PO Box in Country Y.
So, the Postal Codes will be in different format.
We have two fields in the vendor master (xk02) :
City Postal Code :  ADDR1_DATA-POST_CODE1
PO Box Postal code : ADDR1_DATA-POST_CODE2
However, the PO box postal code doesnot accept anything other than the format of the City Postal Code. 
Is there a possibility to accomodate both postal codes (in different format eg. NNNN AA   and  NNNNN)

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
Please go through the following SAP OSS Note
Note 384462 - Master data and addresses
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

    the checking rule is defined by SAP, following the country specific rules for their address and postal code layout.
    It is mainly used to check the entries made at vendor master, customer master, delivery address, plant adress etc. maintenance.
    But interfaces to external systems like VERTEX (just an example, not valid for NL, but other countries like USA have as well specific checking rules) rely on accurate entered postal codes.
    If you get business letters from a customer or vendor from NL, then they have usually printed the postal code in the right fashion, you just need to type it like it shown to avoid an error coming from the checking rule.

  • Vendor master creation postal code mandatory through LSMW

    Dear Expert
    Postal code is mandatory while create vendor master record through LSMW,
    but while create manually system is not asking the postal code,
    mean not mandatory. please can tell why?
    Regards
    karan

    you did not tell if you are speaking about a vendor in the same country
    you did not tell what import method you are using in LSMW
    if recording, then you may have missed to activate the small box for "use central address management"

  • Vendor master data Postal code

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new vendor in country Japan (JP).
    Postal code settings : Length 7 Rule 2
    But when I am creating a Vendor with postal code of length 7, system is automatically adding a hyphen '-' in between and throwing an error message "Postal code XXX-XXXX exceeds 7 characters. Message no. AM656".
    I am not sure why is this happening so.

    OSS note 1381564 - Postal codes
    explains that the  postal code for Japan is Postal code format for Japan is 'NNN-NNNN'.
    and you have to adjust your settings in OY07
    to a length of 8 for postal code
    and the checking rule should be set to 9.

  • Creating additional screen field in Vendor Master at Company Code Level

    Hi All,
    I have to add some custom fields in Vendor master at Company Code Level.I have alraedy implemented a BAPI suggested by the system to add additional fields.
    A  new Button is coming after implementing the BAPI , which gives me a space to add new custom fields , which i have appended at LFA1.
    My problem is that , the new Button is visible at each screen, i.e Button is coming at Address tab, Control tab, all screen correspond to company code and all tab correspond to purchasing.
    While i want that Button should only be visible at screens correspond to company code.
    Please suggest how to acheive the same.

       I'm facing a similar problem. I've got my BADI working properly with the exception of...

  • FI-AP (vendor master group, Zip code required field)

    Hello SAP Guru's,
    I am working on Vendor master data groups and my client asked me to make the zip code field mandatory. When i go to "define account groups with screen layout- vendor name-general data- address, i don't see a tab for Zip code to make it a required field. However, i checked Postal code, city field and make it into a required field. Is zip code = Postal code, city? or do i have to contact other programmers so they can design this functionality in SAP?

    Dear,
    yes, I also confirm You that the Zip code is the Postal code.
    So please go to IMG --> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
    and for Your Account Group do the following setting:
    double click on General data --> double click on Address
    and define as Required entry the field Postal code, city technical names:
    City                         LFA1-ORT01
    Postal Code            LFA1-PSTLZ
    I hope this helps You.

  • MM: MIR7: How to display vendor master data "bank code" in the invoice doc.

    Hi all,
    I would like to display the bank code of the vendor in the header screen of the invoice. At the moment only the name of the bank is visible. Is there a possibility in the customizing to modify the screen of transaction code MIR7? I do not want to make a modification to the SAP Standard.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can use custom validation program (Z*) by copying standard validation (RGGBR000) program.
    Modify the validation program to check table vendor master data.
    After that, you need to assign this  custom validation program to GBLR application area in GCX2.
    Thanks

  • Vendor Master can not replicate from SAP R3 to SAP SRM system.

    Hi All,
    We face one issue when we use bbpgetvd program to transfer Vendor master from SAP R3 to SAP SRM, after I check Analysis Application log, found the following issue:
    Error: No Bank Master Data Maintained No Bank Data Transferred
    Error: Name/Address for Vendor Already Exists Vendor: 0015118743 Address Number 0000054208
    Error: Warning: Complete Business Partner: Vendor: 0015118743 Backend: APP002TS No Transfer of Vendor Data
    But I check BP in SRM and can not find vendor 0015118743 information, so could you give me any tips or suggestions to fix this issue. Is there any table in SRM system to keep Vendor Master like SAP R3?
    Thanks for your kind suggestions or help in advnance!

    You cannot.
    Business Partner are stored in BUT000 table. I don't remember if its address number is also stored in this table.
    If yes, link is done directly between both.
    If not, this is the person number which is stored in BUT000. So, use your address number to get its corresponding person number using ADCP table. Then, with this person number, check in BUT000 what is its corresponding Business Partner.
    Finally, with its corresponding GUID, check in VENMAP table the vendor number.

  • Vendor Master and Company Code

    Hi All,
    We had an issue arise where a user created a purchase order with a vendor that was not assigned to a particular company code. Apparently the system did not give the error msg "vendor not assigned to company code -
    " However, now that the invoice is being entered,, we now receive the error message. Does anyone know what would allow the purchase order to be completed with a vendor that is not assigned to that particular company code?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The system does not check this at the time of PO creation, I cannot see any relevant error messages either.
    I will keep looking but it has not presented any major problems in my experience because the finance department can often be slow adding their data and so the PO would be held up unnecessarily.
    Are you sure that it causes significant problems?
    I can see that it may result in POs being fulfilled by vendors that you don't want to deal with perhaps?

  • Hi guys I need to restrict access to the settings with a passcode but also need passcode for the screen lock due to MS Exchange. Can these codes be different?

    We are introducing iPhonse into the business but have a question regarding security. We need to restrict user access to the settings on the iphone  probably via a passcode. We also need the user to have access to their emails (which when using exchange enforces a passcode). Is this the same passcode that is used for both by default? Because if it is then by allowing the user access to their emails they would by default have access to the code that allows them to change the settings of the iphone?
    Does anyone have any knowledge of this or how I can achieve something similar.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply
    Could you by any chance provide a few simple steps on how to do this as i not too sure how you differentiate creating a passcode for restrictions and creating a passcode for lock screen?
    Kind Regards,
    Paul

  • Communication method in Vendor master required at company code level

    Standard Communication method field in Vendor master, which determines the method of communication with the business partner, is placed at General data level. Business uses same Vendor master across company codes / purchase organizations. The communication method for each of them can be different for the same Vendor record. This currently is a limitation in using MDM for Vendor data management. Is there a way to either move std communication method field to purchase org / company code level ? Is there any other possibility availble for meeting this business requirement ?

    Hello,
    The requirement is to have communication method by country (company code / purchase org). That will enable business to have different communication methods (print, fax, EDI etc) with corresponding Vendor business partners in respective country.
    Thanks,
    Tushar.

  • Why we should not assign WHT Code for Payment in Vendor Master

    HI
    I have doubt re WHT.  When WHT Types for Invoice and Payment are assigned in Vendor Master, Why Its suggested to maintain WHT Code only for Invoice, why not for Payment. Pls clarify my doubt.
    Thanks

    Dear
    It all depends upon the situation.  Sometimes we may pay advance to the vendor.  At that time, if we need to deduct tds then we need to incorporate payment tax code in the vendor master.  Sometimes we may do either fb60/MIRO and at that time we need to deduct tax then we need to incorporate invoice tax code in the vendor master. 
    There might be different orders on the same vendor and there might be different areas operating the same vendor for invoice booking/payment.  In such situations, we need to maintain both invoice tax code and payment tax code in the vendor master since tds need to be deducted at the time of invoice booking or payment to vendor whichever is earlier.
    When first advance payment is made  to the vendor and when tds amount is deducted, then at the time of making MIRO we need to remove invoice tax codes so that tds is not deducted twice.
    Hope the above clarifies.

  • MASTER DATA ISSUE , VENDOR MASTER

    Hi,
    I have a problem in vendor master. first i will explain the scenario.
    we have two company codes one is in America, and the other is Europe.we have two purchase organisations called X (meant for america)& Y( meant for Europe) . X and Y has two plants called AMO1 (meant for america), US33. ( meant for Europe). purchase org X is assigned to  plant america (us33),purchase org Y is assigned to Europe(am01).we are using centralized POrg. so we asshined to POrg to Plant.
    Now when i am creating vendor master data. system is accepting for compay code Europe for Purchase org X( america). How it will happen?. It should propose X only.but i created vendor master record for cross combination of different assignment.Folks can you please suggest solution. SAP SHOULD THROW ERROR MESSAGE IF I CREATE THIS TYPE OF COMBINATION.But that doesn't happen.waiting for reply

    Hi Vamsi,
    Normarmally we can map the procurement structure by three ways.
    1. Corporate Specific Enterprise Structure : where CC will assigned to Plant and Plant is assigned to POrg., In this case CC & POrg. assignment dont happen i.e.
    a.  POrg. can procure the material for any CC.
    b. Vendor master can be created with any combination like CC ( USA) & POrg. (Europe) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (USA), here system will not throw any warning/Error message.
    and I am sure Vamsi your client is using Corporate Specific Enterprise Structure mapping.
    2. Company Specific Enterprise Structure : Here CC will assigned to Plant and Plant is assigned to POrg., In this case CC & POrg. assignment does happen i.e.
    a.  POrg. can procure the material for only specific CC assigned with specific POrg..
    b. Vendor master cannt be created with any combination like CC ( USA) & POrg. (Europe) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (USA), if you will try then system will throw any warning/Error message.
    i.e. .vendor Master can be created only CC ( USA) & POrg. (USA) or CC ( Europe) & POrg. (Europe) combination.
    3. Plant Specific Enterprise Structure : Here assignment will be same as Company Specific Enterprise Structure.
    POrg. can procure the material for only specific plant ssigned with specific POrg..
    Hope this piece of information will help you to resolve your issue.please let me know if you want any more clarification.

  • AP Check not printing all of address on Vendor Master

    Hello SAP Guru's,
    I have an issue where when we execute F110 for check run, it is not printing the complete address as we have under Vendor Master.  For example, the check print is not showing the following from Vendor Master record:
    Building Code
    Street 2  STR_SUPPL1
    Street 3  STR_SUPPL2
    District (not sure if this is necessary)  CITY2
    What is the problem?  How do I fix it so that we capture the complete address on the check?
    Thanks a million!

    Thank you Dianne but I don't see anything under SE71.
    Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the transaction.
    Is this something I can do or should I seek ABAP support?  I am not sure if this is a functional issue or ABAP.
    Thank you.

  • Vendor Master Replication from 2 Backend System

    Hi Experts,
                  I am facing a problem in replicating the vendor masters from two Different Logical ECC systems.
    The vendor master at 1st Backend system
    Vendor Master: 0011000196
    Company Code: C001
    Pur.Organization: P001
    The vendor Master at 2nd Backend system
    Vendor Master: 0011000196
    Company Code: 1000
    Pur.Organization: 1000
    In BBPGETVD, the vendor from 1st backend system is replicated successfully and available in VENMAP table. Again, I entered the same vendor code and change the 2nd Backend destination in BBPGETVD and clicked on start transfer , In SLG1 i could find the error as below
    "Error: The Vendor Number Exists as a Partner Number Vendor: 0011000196”.
    In VENMAP table for the above vendor there is only one entry for the 1st logical system alone.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks& Regards,
    Ramprakash N

    If it is the same vendor - it must have the same address in both backends.
    After that you should be able to start BBPGETVD with following checkbox activated.
    Then VENMAP should be extended automatically.

    Konstantin
