Vendor Master Management - How to make 'Corporate Group' field an autoupdat

Vendor Master Management - How to make 'Corporate Group' field an automatically updated field
Frnz,
I am doing a Spend Analysis and thereby restructring some aspects of SAP and business processes. One of the intiatives is to leverage the 'Corporate Group' field in Vendor Master for getting the consolidated spend visibility at the corporate group level of vendors. So far this field wasn't been used to effect. I can update it manually, but the question remains is how do I do with the change management of the corporate group of large vendor base in the scenario of everhappening Mergers and Acquisitions. Are there any alternatives anybody can suggest ? (Like linking D&B numbers etc)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions..

Hi Shiv,
Let me elaborate the purpose of using this field. I want to have a consolidated spend visibility across a corporate group which has multiple vendor codes. Its difficult everytime to group the spends of these vendors manually especially when the number of vendors are too high. Also sometimes the names of vendor companies may not indicate that these are from same corporate group but in fact they could be. In order to have the reports generated on corporate groups, I must maintain this field in vendor master or a Z table. But the problem here is, it should be possible to update this field as and when there are any mergers or acquisitions at vendor side and the corporate group of a particular vendor gets changed due to this. So this has to be effected in vendor master or Z-table automatically. I do know that there are certain agencies like Dunn & Brad (DNB) which provide possibly the details on corporate group of a company but its not fully effective for Indian Vendors as its not mandatory on them to have DNB number & also its a disconnected process and I was looking to connect it seamlessly to Corporate Group field so that I need not bother to update these things manually everytime. I also wanted to explore various possibilities of doing this.
I hope I have spelled it out correctly.

    The Account Groups is the one which maintains the field status for the customer master. In case you want to change the field status (i.e. changage the mandatory field to optional field) you need to maintain the same (i.e. changage the mandatory field to optional field) by navigating to the field status screen and then to the general data tab. Here you can change the status of the your field by selecting the 'OPTIONAL' radio button for the respective field and then save the transaction.

    Not familiar with that format. As far as I know iTunes will only play H.26 and MPEG-4 formats (.m4v, mp4, .mov). There are some apps that will allow you to play other formats within that app like VLC Player will play avi on the iPad but I don't think that one is available anymore but there may be an app that will do what you want it to do. You could always use a converter like handbrake to convert it into an iTunes format.

    How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

    There is currently no native way to email groups from iPad.
    The only way to do this is if your recipients are already members a a distribution group controlled elsewhere such as a Google Group or an  Exchange Organisation, then you can email the distribution group address which will then in turn forward to the individual email address of the members.
    Does it have to be email as currently you would have to add each recipient to the email manually.
    iOS to my knowledge doesn't support contact groups in context other than organisation.

  • How to make Sales Office field mandatory in VA01 initial screen?

    Hi,
    How to make Sales Office field mandatory in VA01 initial screen? I mean in the first screen where we enter the document type and the sales area?
    Regards,
    Ajit

    Dear Deepak,
    Thanks for the clarification.
    But, as far, I have understood the query - it is very simple and that is..
    Whenever one creates a Sales Order (T.Code: VA01), Parameter: Sales Office needs to be mandatory (for all Sales Order, irrespective of Customer Account).
    Until-unless, user won't enter the parameter: Sales Office, System will not lead to next page (now, here we need to enter Customer/ material etc...).
    I have answered the query, in this regards, only.
    Best Regards,
    Amit.
    Note: Pls. correct me, if I am wrong. Thanks for everyones guidance.

  • How to make valuation type field not changeable  in delivery tab of PO

    Hai friends,
                    I am new to badis..please guide me to solve the issue...
    how to make valuation type field not changeable  in delivery tab of PO...
    The field shd be in display mode only ...actually...there  a badi has been used before
    to get valuation type from a ztable depending on material and plant...
    Now ..my requirement is that the user shd not change the default value brought from the ztable...

    Hi SRINIVAS,
    You can achieve this from BADI only if BADI is allows you to do this. You cannot achieve everything from a BADI. Check if there is any expoting field in the methods that can be ticked for making the field in display mode. If not then you cannot achieve this from BADI.
    The field you want to default to display is a standard or zfield. If z, then you can changethe attribute of the screen field to Output only.

  • FB03 display restrictions by using corporate group field of Vendor master

    We had new requirement for the FB03 Transaction display.
    1>     In vendor master data we are assigning the Secure and non-secure for the corporate account group field. Based on the Secure and non-secure, we have to restrict the FB03 transaction display.
    2>     If itu2019s secure vendor, then no one should have authorization to display the documents belongs to these vendors of any transactions (Fb03 or FBL1N).
    So based on this criteria we need to restrict the display for FB03 transaction.

    Prathap

    Hello Pratap
    Please seek help from your SAP BASIS
    How it works is
    1. You have a T code
    2. You see which roles use it
    3.  Then accordingly you can tag that role to the User
    4. Moreover when basis works they check in SUIM t code as to which roles the T code is tagged to and then they go ahead and assign the same to the user
    5. There is another t code PFCG where they create z roles as well since standard roles are not used by them. And in this t code the authorisation objects are handled as well and profiles and roles are created. This is then tagged to a user.
    6. then this authorisation is visible in SU01 in the user
    Thanks and Regards
