Vendor Master Record number ranges

Hi,
We have one requirement . At present my client is maintaining the vendor master record number ranges with 4 digits. Ex. 0001 to 9999
His present requirement is that to maintain the number ranges with 4 digits .ex. 00001 to 99999. They want this should apply even to existing records. Ex: Old number 2345 , they want the present number should be 02345.
Request you to please help in resolving the issue. Thanks in advance for the help. Matter is urgent
Thanks

Hello Lakshmi,
It seems to me these are your alternatives.
1) For each old vendor in the 4-digit scheme, create a new vendor master record in the 5-digit scheme with the leading zero. Then, transfer all open documents/master records (invoices, purchase orders, info records, etc.) from the old vendor to the new vendor. Then, block the old vendor.
2) Same as previous except instead of changing all open documents, only change the master data (e.g., info records or long term contracts or agreements) to the new vendor master record and continue to use the old vendor master record until the open documents are closed. Then, block the old vendor master record.
I think option 2 will be the "safer" choice. Plus, for reporting, you will probably need to continue using both vendor numbers for a while.
Maybe someone else has an easier way...
Cheers,
Larry

  • Gaps in vendor master data number range

    Hi, we have noticed there are sometimes gaps (missing numbers) in the internally issued vendor master data number range. Does anybody have any idea why this happens and how to avoid this?
    Many Thanks for your answers!
    Lucie

    Hi Lucie,
    This happens due to buffering of the number range in question. You can go to SNRO transaction (object KREDITOR) and change the buffering options (deactivate them, actually). Please, consult your ABAP team before doing this. For more info, see note 62077.

    Hi,
    PRAA works absolutely fine. I have external number range for vendors.
    There is an option so that you can create HR accounts in vendor accounts
    Path:Accounting> Financial accounting>Travel
    management>Personal-Related Master Data> Create Vendors (tr.code PRAA)
    Look at this description:
    From the HR master data, this program creates a batch input session for
    maintaining person-specific vendor master records.
    The report can process vendor master records as follows:
    o Initial set up (create/add missing company code segment)
    o Uupdate (change completely according to vendor and HR reference)
    o Change (only according to HR master data, for example, name
    Block
    The following infotypes from HR master data are taken into account for
    the key date specified:
    o Actions (Infotype 0000)
    o Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001)
    o Personal Data (Infotype 0002)
    o Permanent Residence (Infotype 0006 Subtype 1)
    o Bank Details (Infotype 0009 Subtype 0 or 2)
    All other required data is taken from a reference vendor that you can
    specify as a parameter when you start the program. Note that for the
    reference vendor, reference data must exist for all company codes that
    are applicable according to HR master data. Since program RPRAPA00 cannot
    assign vendor master record numbers externally when creating
    vendor master records, you must be sure that the reference vendor is
    assigned to an account group that requires internal number assignment.
    If no house bank is specified in the reference vendor, this is
    determined via feature TRVHB (Implementation guide for 'Travel Expenses'
    -> Transfer to Data Medium Exchange -> Set up Feature for Determining
    House Bank according to the employee's organizational situation.
    The link between the HR employee's master record and the corresponding
    vendor master record is set up by entering the personnel number in the
    company code segment of the vendor master record.
    General program flow
    Program RPRAPA00 creates a sequential work file in the specified
    directory. Ensure that you use a global directory that can be accessed
    by all application servers; a directory is automatically proposed. The
    work file is later transformed into a batch input session by the
    subsequent program RFBIKR00, which is started automatically.
    In test run mode this program delivers information messages which
    document the creation of a batch input session. Since each information
    message must be confirmed manually, the test run should only be
    performed for a small number of personnel numbers.
    In productive run mode, however, the program RFBIKR00 is automatically
    started as a job; the information mentioned above is stored in the job
    log in this case.
    Initial setup of vendor master records
    Corresponding vendor master records are created from the infotypes
    listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
    vendor. During the process, the personnel number is stored in the
    company code segment of the vendor master record. Persons who already
    have a vendor master record with corresponding personnel number are
    rejected in this run.
    If a vendor master record already exists for a personnel number, but
    without a company code segment for the company code in which the
    employee exists at the key date entered, the program adds the required
    company code segment to the vendor master record. You must however
    activate the checkbox "Create new company code segment for existing
    vendor master records".
    The HR master data used is the info type record valid on the key date
    entered.
    Update of vendor master records
    The corresponding vendor master records are updated from the infotypes
    listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
    vendor. Persons who already have a vendor master record with
    corresponding personnel number are rejected in this run. The system uses
    HR master data from the infotype records valid for the key date.
    Change vendor master records according to HR master data
    All HR-specific data is changed in the vendor master records for
    personnel numbers that have changes since the date recorded under '...
    with last change since'. The system uses HR master data again from the
    infotype records valid for the key date specified.
    Block vendor master records
    All vendor master records which correspond with the selected personnel
    numbers are blocked for posting.
    User exits
    For the following situations, two empty routines are supplied in the
    includes RPRAPAEX and RPRAPAEX&H5F001 which you can adapt to your
    requirements.
    o The employee's last name is entered in the sort field in the vendor
    master record. If you do not want this to happen, you can program
    the situation you want in the user exit routine
    'set&H5Fmc&H5Ffield&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
    o If the address editing in the vendor master record does not suit
    your requirements, it can also be changed. For this purpose you have
    the user exit routine 'set&H5Faddress&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
    o If you want to assign numbers to the vendor master records to be
    created via external number assignment (for example, vendor master
    record number &H3D personnel number), you can adjust the user exit
    routing 'SET&H5FVENDOR&H5FNO&H5FBY&H5FUSER' (in include RPRAPAEX&H5F00). Note
    that
    the account group of the reference vendor must also have external
    number assignment.
    Note that in each case a thorough knowledge of the programming
    language
    ABAP/4 is necessary.
    Set up vendor master records in a separate system
    The distribution of personnel master data from a HR system to an FI
    system is a prerequisite for creating, changing, and blocking vendor
    master records.
    In the section Master Data Distribution (link to separate HR unit) of
    the ALE IMG, an explanation is given regarding the way in which the
    FI
    System is supplied with the relevant employee data from the HR System
    In the FI System, report RPRAPA00 described here can be used to
    create,
    change, and block vendor master records.
    Other wise try with VPE1 t.code.

  • Vendor Master Record: Tax Number 1 Field

    Hi Everyone,
    For some reason, when you enter XK01 or XK02 for creation or change of vendor master record, Tax Number 1 within the Control Tab is visible and able to be input.  However, when displaying the vendor master record through XK03, the field is not visible.  Reviewing the field options for vendor master record did not reveal anything to me.  Any ideas why?

  • Create Vendor Master Record from HR Master Record

    Hi All,

    Hello
    In the report RPRAPA00, there is parameter ' 'Create new company code segment for existing vendor master records' as a checkbox under the 'Initial setup' maintenance mode, and it offers you the following option:
    If there is a vendor master record already available for a predefined personnel number, but it does not have a company code segment for the company code in which the employee is situated for the key date entered,then program RPRAPA00 supplements the vendor master record with the required company code segment.
    In your case, the company code already exist, so it will not create or add a new one with this option.
    This only works for "First creation" and not for updating. You need to use "update" or "change" in the setting to do this.
    Thanks and Kind Regards

  • Creating Vendor Master Records from HR Master Records

    Dear Experts,
    I have been using t-code PRAA to create vendor master records from HR master records.  The client would like to have one vendor number for a group of employees (in this case external contractors all working for the same company).  The system won't allow me to link several PERNR to one LIFNR (i.e. error message).
    Is it, however, possible to do this?
    Thank you.
    Edited by: Philip on Jan 14, 2011 9:58 PM

    Hi ,
    PRAA has one to one relation ship , means it created 1 vendor for 1 employee .
    If you are using PERNR then you cant use one vendor to may PERNR .
    Either create them as individual vendor or else have a manual control system in place where in you will have to create a dummy PERNR and then allocate all the cost to this invidual vendor , if you are paying the check to only 1 contractor for say 100 contract employees you can use this .
    else it is a better mechanism and control to have 1 is to 1 in case of employee to vedor .

  • Reg the Sort Key field in Vendor Master Record

    Hi MM Gurus,
    I have the requirement of displaying the Purchase Order number & Line Item number in the Accounting document of the Goods Receipt. i.e., in the "Assignment" field.
    I have made the necessary configuration in FS00 for the specific GL account & also specified 014 code in the corresponding Vendor master record.
    However, once I post the GR document, and checked the "Assignment" field, it displays only the Purchase Order number and not the Line item number.
    Kindly help me on this.

  • Error while Importing Vendor Master records

    I get the following error when importing vendor Master records into the MDM repositorry
    Cannot import qualifiers because the qualified lookup field is not mapped.
    I noticed that the file I'm importing contains 1000 vendors. However the qualified lookup table "PHONE" for the vendors contain only 388 records.
    After I imported the records I found that there was only 389 records in the repository.
    I'm using standard map provided by SAP.
    I ran the import again but this time I unmapped all fields for the qualified update.
    Now the Import Manager uploaded the remaining 613 records.
    I would like to know whether how I can load 1000 records in one load rather than having to go through the file twice.
    This is important since I want to use the import manager server for my loads.
    Thanks
    manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Try the following options.
    1. In the Import Manager, Select Configuration->Options
    set <b>"Merge qualified links using matching qualifiers value to Off"</b>
    2. In the Map Fields/Values tab in Import manager, select the qualified field in which you are trying to import, right clik on the field->select Set Qualified Update -> Update -> Select All available qualifiers into Matching qualifiers->
    New Links- Create
    Existing Links -> Update (All Mapped Qualifiers).
    Hope this should solve your problem.

  • Partner roles in Vendor master record

    Hi all
    can some one explain me how to enter the partner roles in vendor master record
    In sap help i didnt understood this point
    "When working with partner roles, you must maintain the following settings:
    Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners of a vendor that are to be entered in that vendor’s master record."
    what does it mean
    suppose i am creating vendor master record 1234
    Vendor master record:1234
    LF 1234       /*vendor
    BA1234       /*ordering address
    i have to click 1234 in BA  and select 'parner' at the top to enter the ordering adress right ...
    what is the 'Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners' mean
    it has to be like this?
    Vendor master record:1234
    LF 1234       /*vendor
    BA1235       /*ordering address
    1235 vendor master record is created earlier and ordering address maintained ??
    please help me in this record, any user manual or some screen shots to explain how to maintain partner roles in vendor master record
    regards
    Bhushan.N

    Hi Sasi ,
    What Ramkrishna explained is correct. I will try to illustrate it with the example.
    Suppose you  are creating a vendor 1234 which is Head office of the supplier where you need to place the order. But goods will be supplied from Pune plant so you should enter 1235 againts partner function GS , here 1235 is seperate  vendor master record with Pune plant details & it must exist in the system so that you can use it as a partner function Hope this has cleared your doubts.
    Similarly you vcan create other partner functions like payee,ordering party etc.
