Vendor Master - Restrict Change of fields

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to grey out certain fields in vendor master so that they cannot be changed?
While using FK02 or XK02, I want certain fields to be greyed out so users cannot change.
And is it possible to develop a new transaction code using which the greyed out fields can be changed by a select set of users.
Thanks
Srik.

SPRO-FI A/C -AR & AP -Vendor a/cs -Master data - Preparations for Creating master data- Define

Vendor Master- Mass change to set block function 02 for selected PurchOrg

Hello,
We are using SAP 4.7.
We want to do Vendor Master- Mass change to set block function 02 (T code- MK05 in block for quality reasons) for selected Purchasing Organizations to approximately 2000 number of vendors. I tried this using mass maintenance (T code XK99), but in this case block function of all purchasing organisations gets changed. We want it for certain purchasing organisations only. Kindly suggest the solution.
In case I have to go for a development can you please suggest any functional module/ BAPI?
Can I achieve this using mass maintenance functionality (XK99)?
Waiting for your expert openion,
Regards,
Milind Dumbre

Using the block function in XK05 will block the vendor for all purchasing organizations (as mentioned in the documentation of the field). What you can do is to use purchasing block for the selected purchasing organization.
The field is LFM1-SPERM, and this can be done via mass maintenance using XK99.
Hope this helps.

FK02 :: vendor master data change

FK02 :: vendor master data change
I want to change payment terms to a particular vendor but i am getting a error message
<b>changes for vendor not yet confirmed.</b>
I tried FK08 to confirm earlier changes but i could only confirm company code changes and
not the general data.
How do i confirm earlier changes and also assign new payment terms.
Help appreciated

Hi,
It is correct, user who made the changes to Vendor Master (sensitive fields) cannot confirm the changes. SAP Help states:
<i>Only those accounts are displayed for which you have authorization to confirm changes. As a result of dual control, the system also checks whether you were involved in the sensitive changes.</i>
You can ask any other User who has authorization to transaction code FD09 to confirm the changes. Logically, if the user who is making the changes also confirms the changes, it defeats the very purpose for which this process is defined. Hence, I think SAP would have put a validation to check the user who made the change and whether the same user is approving the changes.
Thanks

Hello All,
In report Y_CD1_39000398 we can see the confirmation pending for the Vendor master data changs. There are some entries which are pending since last 5 years becasue the chagnes are rejected. Is there is any possibility to remove this so that in this report we can get only relevant entries

Hi,
I dont think it is the standard report. I think its a developed one as it is starting with Y. If so, then co-ordinate with your abaper and do the necessary changes to get the right result.

Vendor Master mass change

Hello,
I am changing the vendor master data in MASS / XK99 transactions. I am unable to find Street2 (STR_SUPPL1) field. Can you please advise in which way I can edit the field?
Thanks

Hello,
The reason for this is OBD3, this field has been suppressed in field status.
Go to OBD3
Double click on Vendor Group on which your list of vendor fall under.
Double click on General Data on Field Status
Double click on Addres on Select Group
Change the radio button from Supress to Optional Entry.
Now try with LSMW.
Hope this will help you.

CDHDR does not capture the Tcode for vendor master address changes:

Hi Guys,
Wish you a happy new year.
I have the problem to track the changes of the vendor master. I have a vendor master, which got changed by one user. If I look the change history, I can be able to see the change document number, old value and new value. based on that I used CDHDR table to find out the TCODE which is used for this change, but found no value in the TCODE field. What is the meaning of this? Is it meant to say that this field is updated by other sources other than direct changes (XK02/MK02)? If such a case, is it possible to find out the program or LSMW or BW, etc...which is used for this change?

Which userid? SCN or SAP userid?

Vendor Master Data change (VENDOR_ADD_DATA)

Hi experts,
I implemented the badi's VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS and VENDOR_ADD_DATA to create the subscreen
in XK01 but
i created the Z table for storing the data based on vendor and company code
i placed table control on the screen, because for single vendor i need to create more records thats why i created the ztable
now i am not getting how to store these details in my ztable for vendor
please tell me the sequence of methods to implement in the badi.
Thans&regards,
srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
These are the steps to implement BADI for XK01
Goto Transaction SPRO---->select SAP reference IMG button on tool bar
select 'logistics general' node-->select 'business partner' node>'vendors' node>control
--->'Adoption of customers own master data fields'
read the documentation of 'Prepare modification free enhancement of vendor master record'

Vendor master - restricting posting and allowing payment run

Hi,
We have a list of Vendors which needs to be deleted.
Our requirement is that we have certain Vendors who have open items, so our requirement to restrict further postings to the Vendor but allow the open items for Payment run.
Is there a possibility in SAP for such facility?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
There is an option to achieve your requirement without blocking the vendor.
Step No.1 : Establish a purchasing block for the vendor and that would mean no purchases can be made from the vendor and in turn no open items. Please go through the following link for more understanding.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/53/c9866eca3711d2b494006094b9114a/frameset.htm
Step No.2 : There are chances that user can still use FB60 to create invoice for vendor...to control that, create a validation rule in OB28 stating that no entry can be posted for the vendor code...if it is going to be for a set of vendors then create a set ID using GS01 for those set of vendors and call the set ID in OB28...This step would arrest the open item being created for the vendor.
In this way, the vendor master would be still open for making payments for the existing open items, but no new open items would come for the vendor.
Once the open items are cleared, delete the vendor once and for all.
I am sure this would meet your requirement.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Vendor Master or F-58 field

Good Day,
We are doing download program which involves F-58 to bank as a process of automatic payment. In this file that will be sent to bank to process payment, the bank requires SAP to capture a field which will indicate "Agent Charge" . Agent Charge is similar to bank charge.
Agent Charge field will have to just show three (3) scenarios where
1- Beneficiary - Vendor will bear the cost
2- Company - The company will bear the cost
3- Shared between Company and Beneficiary.
We just need a field that can cater or indicate the above scenario in SAP (either Vendor master or F-58 ). User should be able to select during the F-58 or in Vendor level .
I have search in Vendor Master but no idea which field that i can configure. And all text fields in F-58 are in use.
Appreciate your kind advice.

Dear,
This can be done with some program modification to F-58, ask your ABAPer to do a customized program for your requirement.

Customer / Vendor Master Dual Control - Sensitive Fields

Dear SAP Experts,
I have configured a business requirement to extend the Senstive Field functionality towards customer master. I have defined the new Customer group and also assigned the fields. Every time a change to the Customer master record (KNA1 and KNB1) fields are changed, the message pops for the confirmation to be done thru FD08/FD09.
The only question I have is the relevance behind this control as even after the changes not yet to be confirmed, the system is allowing me to bill the customer (Sd billing) and pass the entry to FI accounting? On the other hand the Vendor functionality does not allow a billing run unless and until the changes are confirmed. My question is what is the relevance of the customer master. Can anyone who has an idea about this provide some insight about the dual functionality of this sub module.
Rgds,
Abhai

hello, friend.
i wish to understand your situation better. if the sensitive fields restrictions are working for vendor, then there should be similar features for customer. the, my question is "are you -
1. "working in a DEV environment where you have consultant's (unlimited) authorization or
2. "working in a QAS/PROD environment where you have specific authorization?"
perhaps you have already checked this, but please indicate if you the authorization groups and transaction codes authorization have been set for the users.
many thanks.
