Issue with Vendor Master Data-field notes ID (Table ADRT-REMARK)

Hello,
I have a issue related to Vendor Master Data maintenance.
The client wants to maintain the u201CNotesu201D field in vendor master data. The field gets populated from the field u201CADTR-REMARKu201D table ADRT.
Now client wants to maintain some alphabet to distinguish some of vendors (i.e. 1250) out of 5000 vendors. We tried to develop LSMW, however it is not getting generated as this field is not getting recorded as the field is inside the tab (next to e-mail id field) which requires click. It seems BDC also is also not working as it is not populating these fields except e-mail id.
The table ADRT contains filed ADDRNUMBER which is the same field in LFA1, and it is ADRNR (Address number).
Also please note that CATT/e CATT is not permitted at all the client level.
Can any body suggest the way to change the master data through some way.
Regards,
Chepan

Hi,
Did you heard about SAP GUI Scripting? There is SAP functionality - seems to Excel Macros. You are able to record SAP like macros, then after small code modifcation (code is in Visual Basic), and special excel origin (there could be excel prepared like for CATT) upload data to VMD.
If you have any questions I try to help you?
Best regards,
Piotr

Vendor Master Data - Field SMTP_ADDR (email address)

Hello Gurus, I need you help!!
We have recorded a legacy for transaction FK02, because we needed to enter a large amount of e-mails in vendor master records. However, this field was not available in the transaction when carrying out the recording, so we filled in the LFURL field (URL).
Is there any way we can relate these fields so that the URL entries appear in the e-mail address field?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Christine

Hi,
You cannot change MASS function for Email address change in vendor masterm, This can be possible with LSMW
if you need more information please let me know.

Vendor master data-name 1 40 or 35 characters?

Hi,
In vendor master data, field name1, the data element show it has 40 characters, but in LFA1, the field length is 35.
If I key in forty chaacters, and save, it is successful, go back to see it, it really display 40 characters, but check table:LFA1, I see only 35 characters, where other 5 character store? what is the logic of this?
Thanks.

Message no. AM228
Diagnosis
The address data maintained in field NAME1 occupies 40 of 40 characters The last 5 characters of the field NAME1 can be used only with restrictions.
System Response
In this form the data can be saved and used up to the complete length of 40 characters.
In some scenarios, the system only uses the first 35 characters of name fields, of the fields 'Street', 'City', 'District', as well as the first 10 characters of the field 'Search Term 1'.
These cases are:
ALE: the address data can only be transferred with 35 characters (search term 1 only 10 characters) in the case of some ALE message types (IDOC types) for reasons of compatibility with other releases and components. The message types in question are:
DEBMAS
CREMAS
DEBCOR
CRECOR
The problems do not occur if the relevant address data in IDOC ADRMAS is sent in each case, together with these message types.
EDI: the address data can only be transferred with 35 characters (search term 1 only 10 characters) with the standard UN/EDIFACT for reasons of compatibility.
Print: addresses are formatted with only 35 characters in some print forms for standard envelope windows. If the address number is in the address output structures, you can output the address fields in full length in forms. (See OSS note 145753 for FI forms.)
Procedure
If you do not want the address data to be truncated in these scenarios, only use the first 35 characters of the name fields, of the fields "Street", "City", "District" or the first 10 characters of the field "Search Term 1" during maintenance, or abbreviate the texts, if necessary.
Effects on Customizing
You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.

Which table of field "EXTENSION1" of vendor master data

Hi Experts,
I key in data in filed "EXTENSION1" (data line) for vendor master data, which table I can get this field?
Thanks.

Use this trick I learned from an ABAP friend of mine. Has a little of trial and error in it but its really good.
1. Open 2 SAP windows
2. In window 1, Go to ST05
3. Activate Trace
4. Go to window 2, access the field which you need to learn what table it is in. Ex. Go to XK02 to view the field. enter data in it.
5. Go to window 1, Deactivate Trace
6. In window 1, display trace
7. Check each table written there in SE11 and see if your field is in that table.

Vendor Master Data, (FK02), Bank Details Fields Need to be Shown

Dear Gurus,
Now, in the payment transaction tab in FK02 (Modify Vendors), some bank fields need to be shown, which possibly would be suppressed.
How to activate or surface these fields?
Some fields would be like IBAN number, Bank Code, Bank Country, etc.
Points Awardable.

Goto IMG>> Fin A/c >> AR & AP >>> Vendor A/c >>> Master Data >>> Prepration of Creating vendor master data >> Define screen layout per activity (vendor)
click : Change Vendor (Accounting)
Goto General data : >> Payment transactions
Make Bank details as optional filed from supressed.
Hope this helps
Please assign points as way to say thanks

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?
Hi I need to add one additional field for other VAT Reg. number in vendor master data FK01, We currently have two field
Current Settings:
Country : LFAS-LAND1
VAT registration no.: LFAS-STCEG
I need to add one additional field for text information. Is this possible?
Thanks you very much
Luis G.

If you want to add new fields that are not possible from config (check with your consultant) you need to implement BADIs
In SPRO, go to:
>Logistics-General
->Business Partner
-->Vendors
--->Control
>Adoption of Cusomter's Own Master Data Fields
and read the documentation provided there.
You will need to implement following BAPIs
Processing Master Data Enhancements: VENDOR_ADD_DATA
Customer Subscreens: VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS
I am not aware of any other way to add new fields to Vendor master (however, check with your consultant for config related screen modifications)
Should you need any further info to implement it, post back (read it thoroughly first, it's quite self-explanatory).

Vendors PAN Number field Mandatory in Vendor Master Data

HI,
I am working in 4.7 EE version. I want to make Vendors Pan Number field mandatory while creating Vendor Master Data. As per my knowledge we cannot use Validation for this purpose.
Regards
Sudhakar

Hi Parag,
In ECC 6.0 you get a tab CIN details in vendor master itself wherein you can maintain PAN no. sales tax no. etc of the Vendor.
you dont need to use any field for PAN no... If this is followed then wht you are saying is correct. But the problem is that we want to make PAN no. in CIN details tab mandatory and that is not possible.

Bank Account field in Vendor Master Data

Hi Guys,
Anyone of you might have faced this kind of problem.
The field for bank account in vendor bank details provides only 18 digits.
We have a couple of Polish and Russian vendors which have 20 digits in the bank account and because SAP cuts off the first 2 digits payments cannot be made.
Will it be possible to extend the number of digits in the bank account field? If yes,
can anyone let me know how it can me done.
Thanks
JR

The situations where REGUH-ZBNKN (bank account number) is longer than 18 digits. in this case the bank account number continues on field REGUH-BKREF (reference).
You have to implement OSS#96624 to solve this problem
Regards.
(Finding more detail in OSS Note)
Symptom
This note refers to business partner bank account numbers with more than 18 digits.
Banks of certain countries use bank account numbers with more than 18 digits. Consequently, these bank account numbers cannot be stored completely in the bank account number field of the R/3 System, but are to be used for the payment transactions with the bank in the data medium exchange (DME).
Solution
Depending on the country of the bank of the business partner, we recommend that you enter that part of the account number which does not fit into the respective 'Bank account number' input field in the 'Reference specifications for bank details' field or in the 'Bank control key' field of the customer or vendor master data.
We recommend that you use the fields in the R/3 System as follows:
China- Various account number formats, some have more than 18 digits
- Save the first 18 digits in the 'Bank account number' field
- If the Chinese bank account number is longer than 18 digits, the
remaining digits are saved in the 'Reference specifications for bank
details' field.

Obligatory fields "iban" and "swift" in vendor master data creation

Hi,
I need a way to get obligatory iban and swift in vendor master data.
I need to check if iban and swift have been filled during creation or modification of a vendor (transactions XK01, MK01, FK01,XK02, MK02, FK02 ).
In user-exit ZXF05U01(function EXIT_SAPMF02K_001) I can't check iban and swift fields.
Do you know another way to solve my issue?
Thanks in advance. Stefano.

Hi Stefano,
swift codes are data from financial institute (and not vendor data). So try exit (CMOD) SAPLBANK (but I dont no if it will work!).
As i remember (at time iban where introduced), there was an exit to check consistency (mean "rules") to propose/create iban from account no of vendor. But i cant remember the name of this exit, so you may search in sap notes for this exit.
Best regards,
Christian

Vendor Master - ADRNR field details.

Hi Experts,
This is regarding Vendor Master data.
Use T-code "SE16" then enter Table Name "LFA1" to see values for any particular Master record for eg. 1000.
In this you will find some Values in field "ADRNR, MCOD1, MCOD2". whereas if you open the same record with "XK02" you cannot see this values.
Even I am not entering this vause while creating records using "XK01". Can someone explain where can I see this Values.
Matter urgent.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Cheers
RC.

If it(ADRNR) is really there in LFA2 -> Vendor data table,
Use, SE16 Transaction,
and give LFA1 Table..
press enter, if you can see a pop-up box. find out the vendor field name or else press enter
then from tool bar, set ....choose select fields and find the ADRNR filed in that
and press Execute...
Then you can see the values.
(***If any thing is there in Database**)

How to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

Hi gurus,
can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
Please give me the steps.
Thanks
Sasikanth.

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

Vendor Master Data - General and Company Code Data

Hi,
We are collecting vendor master data requirements. The requirements that I have are for Vendor General Data, Company Code Data (Accounting Info, Payment Transactions, Correspondence etc.) and Purchasing Org Data. Out of these 3 groups I can only see Vendor General Data that is mapped to CREMDM04 in SAP supplied syndication maps. I am wondering if someone could tell me how much effort is involved to first create the structure in MDM for Company Code data and Purchasing Data and then map these additional fields to CREMDM04 fields?
Why is it that Company Code data and Purchasing Data is not mapped in pre-delivered syndication maps?
Thanks in advance,
M

Thanks Shruti for your reply.
I agree with you. However, our client is really pushing for Company Code Data and Purchasing Org data along with Vendor General Data. Now, this is something that is new to me to do. I have never done this kind of customization before.
I would really appreciate if someone from SAP could give me their recommendation and also help me answer the following questions
1. Is this doable to map and syndicate Company Code data and Purchasing Org data along with Vendor General Data
2. Is it possible to then extract the tables that hold Company Code data and Purchasing Org data from ECC and bring it back in MDM to update MDM tables (that we are going to create for this data)?
3. What's the effort involved in this customization (Considering that we will be extending our repository structure, extend the syndication map, extract new tables from ECC for MDM, create import maps for these tables to import Company Code and Purchasing Org data into MDM)
Regards,
M

Vendor master data upload

how do we upload vendor master data into SAP from legacy system.can anyone give me a detailed explination.
regards,
deepthi

Deepthi,
The steps would be (in LSMW) :
1 Create a new Project, Subproject (if not existing). Then give a name for the Object, say VendorMaster.
2 On the next screen, you will see several steps (radio buttons) to be performed. You should go in sequential order.
Double click the first, I think its called Maintain Object (sorry don't have access to SAP system right now)
3 On this screen you will see various options/methods (in the second section) for loading the data.
You may select which ever is appropriate or most suitable in your case.
Let's assume you want to use the very first options - Standard program for Direct Input/Batch.
4 Pull down (F4) for the Object & select Vendor Master.
5 Pull down again for the Method & select (I think( Standard). The program name & Type will be populated by LSMW.
If let's say none of the programs in this list satisfies your requirement, then you may decide to go for a Recording or a BAPI (again pull down & select appropriate method) or IDoc (CREMAS).
So now you have decided on the method you want to use for posting the Vendor Master data. Save the information & go back to the main screen of the object.
6 Double click on the next step for maintaining the Source Structure. Give the name(s) of the Source Structure(s).
7 Next step is to define the Source Structure(s) format (fields, attributes etc).
8 Next you maintain the relationship between the Structure(s) - Source & Target. The Target structures depend upon the method elected by you in step 5.
9 Next will be the most important step - ie specifying the mapping/conversion rules for each Target field. You can even write ABAP code by double clicking on the field - it will open up the editor where you can put in your ABAP code. There are also several events available - for instance at the <i>Beginning of Processing</i> or <i>Beginning of Transaction</i> etc. where again you can specify your own logic.
10 In the Next 2 steps you will give the file name & path & also associate the file(s) to the Source structure(s).
The develoment for the object is complete. Now you are ready to read, convert & post your Vendor Master data in SAP.
Let me know if you need additional assistance.
Regards,
Homiar.
