Vendor Master Duplication

Hi All
I need to make a setting where I dont want the vendor master data to be created more than once, and I want the deciding field to be the VAT Registration number {Field STCEG} from the vendor master.
I have already set up a message to appear in Customizing - {Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Vendor Accounts --> Master Data --> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data --> Change Message Control for Vendor Master Data} - but this makes a check only on the name and address fields of vendor whereas I want another field to be the key check.
However, when I try to set this field in Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Vendor Accounts --> Master Data --> Matchcode --> Maintain Matchcodes for Vendors - i get an error message that says 'field name is not allowed..'
Can anyone please guide me as to how I can proceed further.
Thank you
Rukshana

For this propose use exit  EXIT_SAPMF02K_001

    you have to read the note and then get details from a possible SAP certified supplier.
    In general SAP explains search methods this way:
    Search Methods
    The search gives different results depending on the search method used. The system supports the following search methods:
    ·        Linguistic
    Language variants of the search term are taken into consideration with this search method. For example if you enter mice, the system also looks for mouse.
    ·        Fuzzy
    This search method is error-tolerant and also includes similar search terms. For example if you enter president, the system also finds documents that contain presidant.
    ·        Exact
    This search method only finds incidences of the exact search term. You can also use placeholders with this search method (?, *).

  • Vendor Master Data Check

    Dear Gurus,
    I have to configure certain checks for Vendor Master duplication checks.
    Can you please tell me the node in IMG and revent details for this config or if you can give the link.
    Regards
    Raju

    Hello,
    If I understand your questions correct, you would like to generate a pop-up list in case if you are going to create a vendor or customer master record with the same name.
    You can do this by:
    IMG ==> Financial Accounting ==> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ==> Vendor Accounts ==> Master Data ==> Preprations for Creating Vendor Master Data ==> Change message control for Vendor Master Data
    Give message numbers 144 and 145
    Put I (Information) for Online as well as batch.
    I would not recommend you put E (Error) as there are possibility that there may be vendors or customers with the same name exists in your business.
    Hope this solves your problems otherwise please let me know.

  • Is there any functionality to check duplicate records of vendor master

    Dear all,
    In creation of vendor master, there is probability of creation of same vendor twice by the user by ignorance.
    Do we any check in SAP so that we cannot create the vendor if that vendor already exists.
    For instance, based on vendor name can we put check so that system gives error message if that name already exists.
    Kindly revert back with your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Hi,
    First of all you need to have the information ,what are all the fields that needs to be checked for identifying the master data as duplicate, ie name /adress/post code/bank details.
    If you put only one 'name' only for checking the master data duplication then there might be cases where the two vendors having the same name . So i would suggest take more than one field for identifacation the vendors.

  • Check for Duplicate Fields in Vendor Master

    Dear Gurus
    We have a requirement to configure checks for Duplication  in Vendor Master.
    regards
    MS

    Hi
    Pls check the path
    IMG > Financial Accounting> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Vendor Accounts> Master Data > Preprations for Creating Vendor Master Data > Change message control for Vendor Master Data
    Give message numbers 144 and 145
    How ever, I suggest that you do not put the message as "E". There could be a scenario, where in, the Business may have certain customers and vendors with the same name and other common fields.

  • CLEANING VENDOR MASTER DATA

    I AM FACING A PROBLEM WITH SOMANY DUPLICATION OF VENDORS

    HOW DOES IT IMPACTS ON OPEN AND COMPLTED TRANSACTION DATA.
    AS SOMETIMES WE DONE ONE TRANSACTION AND WANT TO BLOCK THAT CODE.
    CAN ANYBODY SUGGEST THE BEST WAY FOR CLEANING THIS VENDOR MASTER DATA.
    THANKS AND REGARDS
    NAAGSEKHAR

    Hi,
    Generally if you want to do any transaction with Vendor in SAP, it would have been extended to the company code to which you are doing.
    You check your vendors with table LFB1 so that you will come to know the company codes .Say a vendor XXXX is extended to other company code , other than the one presently you are doing the transactions.memans the vendor xxxx is supposed to be with cc yyyy anjd it is there with cc  zzzz, you can also check for this vendor transactions in zzzz.
    means you can reduce the effort.Now with table EKKO you can find the purchasing documents for this vendor/cc.
    One more transaction with vendor comes in IM with 501 moment type ( initial entry with out PO).for this vendor you can check at MSEG table.

  • What are the important views or field in vendors master record

    All,
    We are converting two different companies into our SAP.  We are at blue printing stage.  I was assigned to gather vendor master data requirements in SAP.  I sent them all the fields that we are currently using in SAP.  I sent them a template of General, Company code data and purchasing views.  The legacy team is coming to meet with our it team one to one to discuss the importance of the fields.  Now my team manager asked us to submit a presentation about all the questions we should be asking the legacy team as well as the important information we should be discussing from SAP point of view.  Can someone guide me here please.  It's important.  
    Thanks,

    Hi The task is pretty simple. You would need to create a mapping from the legacy data to SAP data. You would go through every field of the legacy data and identify which field it will map to. there is nothing like important field. Ideally you would get all the fields. Identify the recon account that the vendors should go to.
    Hope this helps
    Points will be appreciated.

  • Error in ALE Service While Creation of Vendor Master

    hi,
    I am using a scenario where a third party system is sending vendor master data to a R/3 system The file is picked up by the file adapter(sender) and mapped to IDOC format, using Idoc adapter (receiver). A Vendor is then created by posting the CREMAS03 IDOC into the R/3 system.
    Everything goes fine till the Idoc comes into the R/3 system. There in BD87(Idoc Status Monitor), getting the "Error in ALE Service" error. When expanded further the specific error is that of "Cross-system company code xxxx does not exist". What is generally the cause of this error and how would I resolve it?
    For those of you who have attended TBIT 40, this scenario is Example 1 - Creation of Vendor Master Data.
    Any help would be appreciated?
    regards,
    SK

    one more thing
    if you want to be sure that you're using the right data
    try to set your system to send the vendor data out
    first - send it from BD14
    and then you'll know which fields do you need
    if you do that take a look at segment E1LFB1M
    and check for BURKS

  • Creation of Business partner by using the vendor master

    Dear all ,
    I have a requirement as follows. I  Have already vendor master created  in MM .Now the requirement is  while creating Business partner I have to use this vendor as the business partner .
    Can experts suggest the possibility of this .
    Regards.
    Arjun.

    Hello Arjun,
    Yes, this feature also works in 4.7. What has happened is that in ECC 6.0 the BP functinality has been totally redefined with a lot of automations. As such, if properly configured then in ECC 6.0 there is no practical use of the FLBPD/FLBPC Tcodes. However, in 4.7, both these traqnsactions should be working fine. The SAP ntes that I have mentioned are however only for ECC 6.0.
    Kind regards,

    2.) Added new button in xk01( vendor master ) using spro -> logistics-general -> business partner -> vendors ->
    control ->adoption of customer's owaster data fields -> prepare modification free-enhancement of vendor master record

    4.) Created a program with my own subscreen for the required fields
    The button is getting displayed in XK01, XK02 and XK03 respectively. Whenever the button is clicked the subscreen with
    the fields is also displayed. But whenever i try to save the data in either XK01 or XK02 it is not getting saved in to the
    database table LFA1.
    Request your help in this regard.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Vendor Master Modification Report

    Hello,
    I'm creating a report which must show the modifications done to a Vendor Master Record by a group of users. I work with two tables: CDHDR and CDPOS to extract the modified data.
    One of the requirements of this report is that it show's which Vendor Code (Number) was modified. I thought that this information could be extracted from table CDHDR, from the field Object ID, but this field doesn't contain it. Objects ID values are like this: "BP  0000041906".
    Is there any other way to extract a Vendor Code knowing the Object Id Value from this table or should I look for this information in another place?  
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Ankesh, thanks for you help.
    Actually 0000041906 is the address number (ADDRNUMBER) of the vendor whose master record was changed.
    The problem then is that depending on which object is modify on the Vendor Master Record, I would have to look for Vendor Number using different tables ?
