Vendor search by matchcode - account group authorisation

We have various vendor account groups including one for paying employee expenses. We are finding that users with access to vendor matchcode search can see vendors for all account groups (including employees) listed in the search even though we have restricted them by authorisation object F_LFA1_GRP to specific groups. Whilst they are not permitted to view full details of the employee the list does show address details. Does anyone know how we can restrict this?

HI,
most of the applications have no authorization checks implemented in their matchcode search....
Please refer as example to [SAP Note 639188|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/639188]
I hope, this information helps...

Search customers by account group

Hi experts,
I want to search customers by account group.
Please explain the steps to achieve this.
Thanks

Dear Jamal
Go to XD03, place your mouse next to Customer and press F4. You will have some options to choose based on which, the customer list will be displayed.
In the said screen, on top right side, you can see two arrows one pointing towards left side and another one pointing towards right side. There is one more button next to arrow pointing right side. Select that in which there is an option [Account group] Place your mouse on that so that you can see customer list based on Account group.
Alternatively, go to SE16, input table [KNA1] and input Account group and execute. You will get the desired result.
thanks

Validation of vendor number vs. Accounting Group

Hello Experts,
We are using ESO 5.1 with integration package, connected to an ERP 5.0 backend system.
I've confirmed an issue when creating a vendor in ESO for publishing to ERP, as E-Sourcing does not validate the vendor number the user is assigning. System only checks if the Accounting group has a internal or external numbering.
Has anyone encontered this issue before? Any standard solutions for this?
If so, I'll appreciate if you can share how this issue was solved. Validation script? If so, can anybody share or give me some pointers on how to create it?
Thanks!
Regards,
GG

I can answer by words of Axel Angeli - top level SAP R/3 consultant and R/3 cross-application development coach, the author of classic book "SAP R/3 Guide to EDI, ALE and Interfaces":
"SAP R/3 delivers a serious of predefined EDI programs. Many project administrators see them as standards which should not be manipulated or modified. The truth is, that these IDoc processing functions are recommendations and example routines, which can be replaced by own routines in customizing."
and
"SAP R/3 is delivered with a series of predefined IDoc types and corresponding handler function modules.
Some of the handler programs have been designed with user-exits where a developer can implement some data post-processing or add additional information to an IDoc.
You must always see those programs as examples for IDoc handling. If the programs already do what you want, it is just fine. But you should never stick to those programs too long, if you need different data to be sent."
So now you can feel free to customize

Maxim.

PO creation for vendor account groups

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please tell me where do i look in IMG for the following
1) ability to create prucahse order by a vendor of a different account group. In our system few PO were created by a vendor number that happens to be the number series for PI vendor
Thanks
Anusha

The PI vend has a purchasing view maintained in the vendor master. Also there is nothing maintained in the partner functions tab of the PI vendor ( 400031), which is correct because 400031 can act as a PI vendor for the main vendor VN. I do not seem to understand how could a PO have been created with a vendor number 400031 ( which is PI vendor) in the first place? now i'm trying to delete a PO which was created with this vendor and it does not let me do it. I'm also trying to force the PO and check the delivery completed indicator check box on tyhe PO and system keeps on saying that role VN not possible for 400031 in the partners tab of the PO header. Please help
Thanks
Anusha

Vendor Account Group block

Hi All,
When any user tries to create Purchage Order against vendors belongs to one account group (Ex. KRED Vendor account group), system should not allow.

Hello Murali,
You can block those vendors that belongs to KRED using MASS functionality
You can also update that quickly via LSMW

Vendor account group assign to Reconciliation account

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to customize a reconciliation account assignment to vendor account group?
Our requirement is when you create a vendor, then select a vendor account group, the reconciliation account will automatically be proposed in the field. This is to avoid selecting wrong reconciliation account when creating a vendor.
I had a look in SPRO but I couldn't find anything that could do that.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Catherine

Thanks for your inputs,
I have checked in the system if there is a user_exit. Could you please confirm me that the user_exit "GLPLAN00 - Enhanced authorization and master data validation" is the good one?
My objective is to have the correct reconciliation account automatically populated when I am creating a customer/vendor with a specific account group.
e.g. select account group - XXXX Non-trade customer / Reconciliation acct XXXXXX non trade customer automatically populated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Extend vendor with multiple account group

Hi,
I have a query.
I have three account group say Domestic, Import, Service.
I want to create vendors say ABC only in these three account group(Means ABC in domestic, ABC in import, ABC in Service)
How to maintain this? I have used same number range for these account groups.
Can you throw some light on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Piyush

Hi,
You will not get teh same number from all the 3 account groups.
You can create one vendor ABC using one account group, with all the correct entries.Now lets say vendor 12 is created
DO the same for the second acct group also. Now maintain the same address, country, telephone etc.... and related entries and save it. Now vendor 13 will be created. Now for both vendors, you can provide teh same reconciliation account.
Similarly do for the 3rd acct group.
Now, all the three vendors will be reconciled using one reconciliation account and this will solve your problem.
Otherwise, it is not possible to have 3vendors in 3account groups with same number

Mass updation of Vendor account group

Dear FICO gurus
Found XK07 -Individual processing to change Vendor account group, but issue is i need to change for more than 2500 vendors. Can any one suggest the alternative t.code as solution (apart from LSMW/BDC).
Thanks in advance
Deepak

Hi,
You can use transaction MASS, enter LFA1, select table LFA1. Select the account group field, enter the value of the account group you want to change and execute. This will bring up a list of all vendors with that account group. Enter the new vendor account group and execute. All vendors with the old account group will be updated with the new vendor account group. However, you must have all fields settings the same on both account groups for this to work.

All vendors under account groups..

how to find all vendors which is under account groups?is there ant transaction code to find out?

Hi,
You can find all the vendors falling under one account group through table LFA1.
In SE16 give LFA1 table and Click F7.
In the next screen give account group and click execute.
You can find all the vendors under the given vendor account group.
I suspect there is no transaction code as such to find the vendors as per vendor account group.

Account Group and Vendor

I created account group and assgn number and tried to creat Vendor, but system is asking for partner number.
thanks

Hi Shahid
The problem you are encountering could be for teh fact that the number range assigned to the account group is external and hence the system is prompting to assign a partner number
The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records
The account group determines:
o the number interval for the account number of the vendor,
o whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,

Account Group and partner functions in customer master records

Hi Gurus,
I need your help to confirm the following understand if correct:
1. To create customer master record for partner function Ship-To, need to create a customer master record using the uniquely assigned account group for Ship-To , that is, 0002 . In this ship-to master record, define in its partner function tab, the other partner functions related to it.
2. To create the above, it cannot be achieved by just assigning the partner functions in the partner function tab of SOLD-To customer master record , created using account group 0001.
Question:
1. How does the system know or allow what codes a user can select (f4) or enter manually when defining in customer master record's partner function tab, the partner functions and their respective codes?
How is this controlled? Is it by user authorization? or will user / sales administrator be able to select any codes tied to a partner function?
2. Lets say there are 2 partner functions : Sales employee VE and 9E called Sales Representative. Both of these partner functions are of Partner Type PE.
When defining in customer master record's partner function tab, how does the system know what codes is selectable for the administrator for each of these partner functions?
best regards
M Russo

hi russo,
this is to inform you that,
1. yes you are right.
2. you need to follow the steps as you said.
Question:
1. that you can find in the search basing on account group for partners. that assignment we should know russo which SH to be assigned to which SP. no need to have authorization for that, make a note of the list of SH and SP to be assigned that's all.
yes, he will able to select any SH from the list but make sure that we assign the correct SH to the list of SP.
2. that you will be defining it in Partner Determination Procedures. at the time of CMR creation you have to select the correct code that will get populated in sales order.
hope this clears your issue.

Different field groups in the different account groups

Dear IT Experts,
I´m working on restructuring authorization in roles concerning the IC and TP customers.
The goal of this changes is be able to have different field groups in the different account groups (TP and IC), for give you some more detail a good example can be, the same AMS user should be able to change general data and sales views for TP customers but for IC he should only be allowed to change the sales views, however when the changes are made in the roles they are being ignored because as far as I could check the system does not have as a rule that the field groups are or can be dependent from the account group...
I can give you a clear example:
Role A
F_KNA1_AEN -> VGRUP = 10-16
F_KNA1_GRP -> ACTVT = 01, 02, 03
F_KNA1_GRP -> KTOKD = INTR
Role B
F_KNA1_AEN -> VGRUP = 16
F_KNA1_GRP -> ACTVT = 01, 02, 03
F_KNA1_GRP -> KTOKD = THIR
Despite it looks fine, the system is not validating the account group with the correspondent field group in each role, so the field groups that the system use is unique, it means it the content of the object F_KNA1_AEN in total independently of used account group!
So my question is, can we apply any other object that makes the field group being directly depending of the account group, as we can see for example activities for each account group having something similar for field group and account group?
Can someone please explain me step-by-step how I can do this work even if by another method?
I´m quite new on this issues and I really need your wisdom to find a solution for this.
Many thanks
Katjia

Hi Manoj
The debate is each inidividual business unit has defined different account groups for the same vendor in their respective systems.
The question is : What is the best practice-- Should we keep Vendor account group as main table field and define Vendors with one unique account groups OR we maintain the account group in qualified table each pointing to different business unit.
In my opinion this is going to be very complex solution. Ideally we need to define all the Harmonization rules before syndicating data to different target systems.
Is this possibel that the same vendor record which is existing as vendor of different account groups in different systems have same set of attributes. If yes then enabling the remote key for Account group Lookup field is one option and defining a unique Account group 'AG" (which is mapped to say AG1 from remote system1, AG2 from remote system2 and so on..)..
Managing this via Qualified table will be very complex and not advisabel. As Rajesh also mentioned Account Group in MDM should be considered as Global attribute and all such harmonization rules should be defined in your project. AG1=AG2=AG in above exmaple.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks-Ravi
