Vendor master Workflow

Hi,
I am thinking of designing custom Vendor Master Create\Change Approval Workflow. (1) However I did not see any events being triggered in event trace(SWEL) while creating or changing vendor master. could anybody shed me lights on triggering WF using any of methods ( message control, standard tranaction, status management, config or any other methods) for vendor master. (2) Besides, how should I design workflow so user can confirm changes via XK08.
Any hints/ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Maria

Hi Maria,
First create an Event in the BOR "KNA1". For this you have to create a subtype and then add your event in the subtype Say your event name is "Save_vendor".
Now Go to SE19 and implement BADI " VENDOR_ADD_DATA". Inside this BADI the Method "SAVE_DATA",explicitly trigger the event say(Save_vendor") in   which you have created in the BOR by using the FM
* CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
*    EXPORTING
*      OBJECT_TYPE     = 'LFA1' "---> this is the BOR Name
*      OBJECT_KEY      = OBJECT_KEY "--> Keyfield
*      EVENT           = 'SAVE_VENDOR' "--> Event name
*    TABLES
*      INPUT_CONTAINER = IT_CONTAINER.
Then automatically the WF which is linked with the Event will get trigger.... I am sure this will solve you problem

Workflow for Material Master and Vendor Master Creation

Hi
Has anyone mapped creation of Material Master & Vendor Master through SAP Workflow.
Seek your valuable inputs.

--Vikas

You may not get the complete standard form which will match this functionality. But you can develop your business logic in custom code for fetching the data and the interface and use the standard templates for layouts if any template matches your requirement. You can see the complete lest of templates in : "transaction SFP->Form->Layout->Tools->Template Manager
Most of the common templates are available here.

Until the amendments the process is going on. after this vendor master update will be there . it includes wait steps to finish the update. then PO has to be created. but from vendor descion to wait event the steps are disappeared when i checked in SWI6 for that user. pls help me.

Workflow for Vendor Master

Do we have any functionality of workflow for vendor master.

Thanks for your reply.
Dual control functionality we have already explained to the users. they are not convinced with that.
what users are looking at is the the purchase clerk will enter the purchasing related data in vendor master then the mail for approval will go the manager purchase. Upon approval, the accounting clerk will enter the company code date and for approval it will go to accounts manager. Once vendor master has been approved then only the transaction against this vendor should be possible.
Clerk creates vendor master> Manager Approves> then only vendor master is available for use in transaction.
this is the functionality the user is looking at.
Since I am a MM consultant does not know about work flow. If this kind of functionality is feasible in workflow then we can raise request in our company to arrange for a workflow consultant.
before that we need to be sure on that whether it is achievable or not.
Please confirm.

Vendor master file report.

Dear All,
I always use S_ALR_87012089 display changes to vendors to check vendor master data if they are created or updated in accordance with proper approvals (not a workflow in SAP).
Recently, I see other tcode S_ALR_87012090, but do not know what is its use.
Can you please let me know detail about S_ALR_87012090.
Thanks
Ndhoan

Hello,
The program S_ALR_87012090 displays changes to the sensitive fields (such as Bank Account, Bank control key etc. configured defined by us). The reviewer can confirm or refuse the changes interactively from the list produced by this report.

Issue in vendor creation workflow...

Hi,
I am trying to upload data from a XLS file for vendor master and thru workflow a notification goes to 3 people who need to fill in the accounting, purchasing and logistics data and the finally the approver will approve it and vendor will be created.
It so happens that when the accounting person tries to enter the accounting data, for the standard acct group YBST, he is forced to enter the withholding tax code. This is not happening when the same vendor is created manually thru XK01.
Now this vendor is created for a company code and that does not need to have any withholding tax code.
We tried a couple of config where for the company code this field was suppressed. This suppression was effective when I tried to create the vendor manually, i.e. I did not see this field and vendor was created. But again, when I tried thru workflow, it failed, and an error message was shown saying " Withholding tax code is mandatory for acct group YBST'.
Any tips on what could be wrong ? any more config settings to be done ? anything on the workflow front that can be analysed ? Pl advise.
thnks

Resolved. Looks like there was a custom code that had made the tax code mandatory !! I removed it. Thanks.

Customer Master / Vendor master Creation

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement that the whenever Customer / vendor is created or changed, then there needs to be a mail sent for the same.
We are currently using the user exit : EXIT_SAPMF02D_001 for customer creation and user xit : EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 for vendor.
The issue :
When the new Cust / Vend is created, the user exit is called. The issue is that the "Customer number" / "Vendor number " is blank as the number is generated by the system after the user exit is over. So the mail sent is having Blank Ven / Cust number which is not desired.
IF anyone knows any other User exit / Badi that can be used for this purpose. Or if there is a business object for the Customer abd vendor master, whose event is raised by the SAP transaction when Cust / vendor is created with the customer number passed to the event, then kindly let me know. I can then create a workflow for the same.
P.S: There is no issue when the customer is changed as the customer number comes in the above exit.
Thanks and Regards,
Anuj.

Hi,
I think you can use Business transaction events for this.
BTE 1320 and 1321 for Customer Master
BTE 1420 and 1421 for Vendor Master
And FYI,

Approval of vendor master

hi
I have scenario with vendor master creation and maintaining purchasing , accounting and bank details ..etc
Purchasing data will be maintained by purchasing department user .
Accounts department user will maintain accounting details of vendor.
After maintaining the accounting details, he will release the vendor for usage. Then we can use the vendor for procurement purpose, we can create PO ..etc
But my requirement is , whether there is any functionallity like maintianing the accounting details should be one person and releasing the vednor should be different person.
After these approval, system should allow me to use the vendor.. even though i manitian few details it should not allow me to use the vendor untill unless vendor has been released by different person.
The above things how we can acheive in standard SAP system.
Thanks
SAP-MM
Edited by: MM group on May 10, 2011 2:16 PM

hii
Thanks for all your suggestions.
But still problem exist with me ..
If i give authorization t.code wise., for eg first purchasing department has created vendor (123456) with genaral and purchasing data.
Here now the vendor is ready to use, system will allow to create PO with vendor (123456).- i should control this.
Then may be after couple of days , account dept they will update accounting data.
So, after updating the data from purchasing and accounting department, finally 3 rd person should approve this vendor (123456) for usage.
Before maintaining complete details of vendor, system should not allow to create
How this can be achieved , any possiblities in standard SAP system or how we can do it using custom program without workflow?
Hope clear about my query.. any clarification ..?
Thanks

Vendor Master Changes

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement in sap. When we changes any field like payment terms Etc in vendor master, we want to capture name of the person who made request to change the payment terms etc, date of request and reason for change. Also we want those fields in vendor change record.
How can I do that.
Please help.
Regards,
GR

You cannot capture the requestor of a change in SAP change log. You can add a text to your vendor master and with some self discipline you may enter this in the long text.
We use a workflow in Lotus Notes, called change requests with formal approvals.
there we log the change, then we do the change, send the workflow to the requestor and ask him to test the change in the QA system. then requestor has to give approval for the change, and we will start importing to production system.
So we have a database where is easily can trace any change along with requestor and approvar.

Vendor Master Creation in MDM

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein the client has around 300 company codes and we need to create a same vendor for all the company codes . The vendor master (a single record) is created for one company code via EP(Enterprise Portal) which is got as an input to the MDM Import Manager. Now in the Data Manager i need to replicate or extend the same to all other company codes.
How to do this ? Is it to be done manually for all 300 company codes or we have an option to replicate it automatically ?
Expecting your valuable inputs !
thanks in advance !!!

For solving the below issue ,you can address in three ways.
1) Using of SAP XI
2) Using Key mapping in MDM to syndicate Records
3) Try SAP ABAP Workflow.
