you assigned your vendor to a plant in XK02 via menu EXTRAS > additional data
this is needed if you do STOs
Right below is the check box for data retention at plant level.
If you want data retention at plant level, then you have to flag this box.
Then you go back to the organisation screen and you will find a new button activated. if you click this button, then you can enter the plant number for which you want maintain specific purchasing data..
I guess you mixed those 2 different things and thought you have to assign your vendor to the plant directly in the first pop-.up.
Remove it from there.

Want to restrict the vendor at plant level

Hi Experts,
As per standard SAP, once the vendor is extended to comapny code then buyer can place order in any plant of same company code. My client wants to restrict the use of vendor at plant and after some business approval, will allow to use the vendor for specifc that plant. Could you please help me, how can I acheive this ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ajit

There is no solution for you in standard you have to develop something yourself.
It is even possible to create purchase orders before a company code view is created for a vendor master, hence it cannot be controlled via company code blocks. The block at company code will have an effect on goods receipt and invoice receipt, which is too late.
Purchasing blocks can only be set at purchasing organisation level. Even you can create a vendor with a plant level , it is not possible to set a block at this level. If this purchasing organisation serves many plants then a block will affect all plants.
only with a purchasing organization specific responsible for a single plant you can meet your requirement in standard with a procurement block at purchasing org level.

BDC for deleting vendors at plant level

Hi experts..
I have query regarding BDC. Please read below.
Go to MK02 T-code , select valid combination of vendor and purchase organiation -> select 2 check boxes in general data
-> select 2 check boxes in purchase oraganization data -> press ' Enter ' -> again press ' Enter '-> again press 'Enter '-> select ' Alternative Data ' in Tool bar -> There you will see all the plant descriptions belongs to vendor under purchase oraganization .
   Now i have to delete some plants ( based on certain condition ) here,this i can do by selecting plant   and press delete line .
   This procedure i have to repeat many vendors. i wanted to implement this through BDC .
     My question is , through BDC how can i select some plant descriptions ( there in the last screen ) . Dynamically i have to select some plant descriptions .

Partner determination at plant level

at present we are having partner determination at p.org level and plant level.
In our business we have a one vendor with 2 ordering addresses for 2 of our plants.
we had maintained these ordering address at vendor master --plant level.
when we are creating manual PO system is picking up the order address where as when we are creating automatic PO using ME59N transaction system is picking partner function maintained at p.org level rather than maintained at plant level.
plz suggest the solution.

Hi,
Check the intial requriment are there r not like source list before craeting the PO.
Check whether the Partner function are maintained at plant level in XK03 in partner fuctions selection field and also check whether you had ticked the data revel at plant level allowed.
Hope this will hep you.

Partner roles in vendor master

Dear All,
we have raised a PO to vendor 400035, goods are supplied from vendor 400036 and invoice is received from vendor 400037. we have defined partner roles for vendor 400035(account group COMP).
VN-400035
GS-400036
IP-400037.
These partner roles are assigned to account group:
GS-0001- GOODS SUPPLIER
IP-0002-INVOICING PARTY
Defined partner schema H1 under partner settings in vendor master record.
this schema is assigned to account group COMP( That have vendor 4500035) at POrg, VSR, Plant Level.
Partner schema for purchasing document is defined.
it is assigned to document type.
ISSUE
1.When we are raising a PO the schema is appearing in partner Tab. The different invoicing party 400037 is pulled from vendor master record into PO. when doing MIRO, it is not appearing subsequently as the default value when invoice is posted. in MIRO it is appearing as 400035 instead of 400037.
2.same is the case in MIGO, in partner TAB 400035 is appearing instead of 400036.
please help on both issues where invoicing party should appear autimatically in MIRO and goods supplier in MIGO.
QUESTIONS
1. Is it necessary to have VN in schema. is the partner role VN required in schema. if VN is removed output determination doesnot take place.
2. what is difference between assigning vendor role to account group and to a document type? why it is required ?
can be use only one of them.
regards

Hi,
There are just 4 mandatory steps:
1: Define partner role
2: Define permisssable partner roles per account group
3: Define Partner Schemas
4: Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups
You have setup your partner determination on purchasing org level.
But you forgot that you create a purchase order on plant level, which is a lower (more detailed) level. If the higher level box is left blank in your partner determination setup, then SAP tries to find partner on plant level. As you don't have partner on plant level maintained in your vendor, SAP can't find the vendor.
IMG > Materials Management > Purchasing > Partner determination > Partner Settings in Purchasing Documents > Define Partner Schemas
select your partner schema and then double click Partner roles in schema on the left.
In the appearing screen you can see the colomn for higher level
Then create a fresh PO and check.
Go through the below link:

Vendor master from one plant to another plant

Dear Gurus
i Have vendors in on plant 100 and now i want to transfer from 100 to 200 plant those vendors.. how can i do. xk99 is okay...
Thanks
ramki

Ram ki
see when you create a Vendor it will always be at company code level or at Purchasing Org level , you can never create a vendor at plant level so since these two have higher hierrarchy and plant comes under it , once you extend to this it will automatically extend for your plant.
The only place as per my knowledge where you use Vendor = Plant assignment is at Stock transport order for system to undertsnd that is maintained in Additional data tab.
so as i was saying you can extend this at company code or at Purch Org level
Hope this is clear
Cheers

How to create a substituion at Vendor master level

HI,
i need to make the House bank defaulted in vendor master while creating new vendor master in Xk01.
For this i need to define substituion.Kindly provide me the path or transaction codes to create a substituion at vendor level.It would be a great help for me
Points will be assigned
Thanks
Supriya

Hi
May be as 'Shannon' said, we can do the substitution at vendor master level.
But, this is not like using TCODE:GGB1 - this is a user exit at the Vendor master program level.
Thanks you 'Shannon', i don't have an idea on this exit part, thanks for sharing the information.

Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?

Hi,gurus,
Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?You know we can create vendor data using idoc CREMAS03 as the receiver adapter,but when change or delete the specified vendor data,must we use RFC adapter technique?
Another question:I found the bapi which creates a vendor master data doesn't have the parameter account group,then we turned to idoc technique.But which adapter should I use when change or delete the vendor data?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
>>>I found the field of the segment of deletion flag at different level,and very appreaciate your help.
yes - LOEVM - but remember this will not delete the record but only mark it for deletion
>>>It's a long time to wait for your new blog,what new and interesting things do you find?

Partner Function in Vendor master

Hi,
I want to know what is partner functions in Vendor master , what configuration settings required for it and is it necessary to maintain what can be the problem or why it use .
regards,
zafar

Hi Zafar,
Basically Vendor partner functions allowed you to define the rights and responsibilities of business partner in a business transaction. The R/3 standard partner functions are :
AZ     Alternative payee
OA     Ordering address
VN     Vendor
CR     Carrier
PI     Invoice presented by
CA     Contract address
GS     Goods supplier
DP     Delivering site
Accordingly the vendor is first the ordering address, then the supplier of good and after that Invoicing party and finally the Payee. You can determine which of the partner roles are optional and which are mandatory in the customization. If no roles have been maintained, the data of the vendor role applies
Now the Vendor partner function will work after few Setting in Customization :
1) Maintain seprate vendor master record for each partner
2) Activate partner function by ASsign Partner Schema to Account Groups
SPRO ; Material Management > Purchasing > partner Determination > partner Settings in Vendor Master REcord > here choose and account Group to active partner Function and from Field PS EKORG Select L1
3)Define Permissible Partner Roles Per Account Group
In this step, you can specify for each account group of the vendor which roles the vendor may assume.
I.e. you can specify that certain vendors may only serve as an ordering address, not as an invoicing party.
Maintain Partner roles, which is to be used in Account Group
GS - DIMP
PI-DIMP
OA-DIMP
4) Maintain partner function - Now in the Vendor master record you can maintain Vendor partner function .
or can assign partner at the Time of PO Creation ME21n, When GR will be done you can See partner Details.

Vraj

Account groups for Partner Roles in Vendor Master

1. Can we use same account group to create the vendor master for the different partner roles? for the partner roles like goods supplier, invoicing party, order party, etc do all these need to have different account groups , example one account group for goods supplier, one account group for invoicing party, etc , etc.
2. why we need the configuration for partner role in purchasing documents besides partner role settings for vendor account group. what is the logic behind to have partner role dependent settings for purchasing documents.
If we do not maintain for partner role settings for purchasing documents what effects it will cause?

> 1. We can have 1 account group represent all partner role or separate account group for each role.
1.If we use the same account group, the field selection control for fields will be applicable to partner roles also. If we have made vendor schema as mandatory in vendor master than we have to assign to partner vendor also. Example ordering address will not require company code data only purchase data, it will not require also pricing procedure as mandatory as no price determination will be required for ordering address.
I think we have to use combination of account group -same account group and different account group will defining vendors for partner function.
Do we require to assign vendor schema group to following vendors roles- goods suppliers, invoicing party and payee.
If we do not assign vendor schema group will these partner role determine price from the VN partner role. For example VN (vendor) has vendor schema group assigned, no vendor schema group assigned to invoicing party, then while doing MIRO the invoicing party will be defaulted. Do the price determined for VN role will be populated for invoicing party in MIRO?
> 2. we need partner role in purchasing doc because we can copy partner role from vendor master to purchasing document
It means we need to assign similar roles in schema for vendor account group and purchasing documents. If you see the schema in config for partner determination in IDES system, different roles exists in vendor schema and purchasing document schema.
This is creating confusion for me to understand.
Please clarify
2. we need partner role in purchasing doc because we can copy partner role from vendor master to purchasing document

PR to PO Vendor Master Setting

If i need using ME59N to convert PR to PO one of the requirement is set the auto PO in Vendor purchasing view.
I have an question is how about
I don;t set the auto PO in the Vendor Purchasing View but set under Vendor Purchasing view DC veiw auto ordering
Is it ok ?
Because I want the Auto PO function can down to Purchasing View -> DC level, but it's seems not work

OSS Note 335079 - ME59/ME59N: "Automatic purchase order" ind. in vendor master
explains a missing functionality
If a purchase requisition (PReq) is automatically converted to a purchase order using transaction ME59 or ME59N, the "Automatic purchase order" indicator must be set in the vendor master record of the source of supply. In this case, note that it is not sufficient to maintain this indicator under the alternative vendor data (plant level or vendor subrange (VSR) level). In the program, only the indicator for the general vendor data is checked even though the field is also available under the alternative vendor data.
Reason and Prerequisites
A function is missing.
Solution
There are none.

SAP TM PLNG AT PLANT LEVEL

Normally for Freight Units created out of DTR the source location is Shipping Point saying so planning is at shipping point level. Can we do planning at Plant level if yes how -what would be customising for this since this would results in minimsing the data of lane maintenance so that I am able to maintain the lanes from and To Plant instead of shipping point. and better utilisation of rescources as my rescources may be shared at Plant level .

Hello Amjad,
You can set all yout master data to shipping point instead of plant...
Anyway, if you really want to plan at plant level, you can change the source location of OTR/DTR using a BADI.
