Vendor Search F4

Dear Experts,
In search (F4), can we display only unblocked vendor in trannsaction like fk03, fbl1n etc.
i.e. at the time of vendor search through F4 search result should not display blocked vendors.
Is there any trick to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Mahesh

One of our searches on the tabs is 'B Vendors not blocked (by address attributes)'.  Not sure if this is a SAP standard search tab or was created by our Partners.  It is this tab which comes up as the default search tab when looking for vendors (hitting F4).  Therefore blocked vendors are excluded automatically.
If a Vendor is blocked and should not be used in the future, we also update the Search Term field in the Vendor Master Record (field SORTL) with the following:-
B 123456  - B and the correct Vendor number that should be used in the case of duplicate vendors
BLK 4 DEL - in the case of Vendors who have been created in error or were migrated and never used
BLOCKED - Vendors used, but may not be used in the future
This means which ever search tab is used, SAP users can easily see which Vendors are actually blocked or not.  It also helps with duplicates and you can see quickly which vendor should actually be used.
Hope this helps.

  • Vendor search with CNPJ number

    Hello all,
    We are in SAP SRM 5.0 Server 550 system with ECS.
    Recently we went live with Brazil, now there is a requirement that the users while creating SC want to select vendors based on CNPJ number (Legal tax number - In vendor master is Tax number 1 ).
    So the vendor search criteria should include CNPJ field. Can you suggest possible ways of achieving this.
    CNPJ number is getting replicated in SRM.

    Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. I talked to one of our search experts and he told me that most part numbers are searchable, as long as you are in the library that contains the part number. Alternatively, you can search for docs based on their part number n the Oracle Store.
    Each book that is published using the standard Oracle procedures goes into a directory hierarchy on download.oracle.com. In your example, the URL for the table of contents would be:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A75388_03/toc.htm
    However, that URL gives a "page not found" error. So I suspect that the book either was published so long ago that it wasn't transferred over to the download server.

  • Vendor Search Help

    I have a user that is requesting that Vendor PO Box and PO Box ZIP Code be added to the Vendors by Address Attributes tab in the Vendor search help screen. 
    Any ideas with where to start?
    Thanks!

    Hi Barth,
    That was over an year ago. I hardly can remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Well, actually yesterday is easy because I have Mexican every Sunday.
    Anyways, try setting a break point in the FM I mentioned. It shouldn't be too hard to debug. And it will answer two questions, if it is actually where the vendor is being fetched, and what is going on.
    If all else fails, open a new thread explaining what you've done and what the results are, as this topic has been closed.
    Good luck.
    Best,

    Hello Chetan,
    have you checked note 79166 "MM-SRV Hint: Vendor evaluation for service"?
    Define an evaluation criterion for services in Customizing of the vendor evaluation to be able to use the vendor evaluation also for the services management.The main criterion must contain the determination methods 'C' (determination from the quality valuation of the service) and 'D' (determination from the timeliness rating of the service) in the sub-criteria.

  • Sorting problem in standard vendor search help

    Hi all,
    I'm enhancing the vendor search help.
    I found that there is a sorting problem in the original standard search help.
    The 1st time to search vendor in the search help returns a correct list, then I just sort the vendor in ascending order. This time the column name of the hit list changes and mismatch the actual values.
    Any one faced this problem before?
    What's wrong are there ?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Peluka.
    But even I don't enhance the vendor search help, I still found that the original standard version has this problem after sorting.
    Is that the program bug?
    Have anyone encountered this problem before?

  • Using Trex for Vendor Search in SRM

    Experts,
       Please let me know if you used TREX to optimize the vendor search in SRM 7.0, ECC 6.0 EP4.
       Please let me know any tips or suggestions regarding the implementation.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Scott

    Hi Scot
    the below is for goa . try for BP too.. Why you require TREX search . std search dont enough. since
    TREX helps only if you want to enable  full text search for long texts and attachments in contracts.You need to instal  the trex server and configure the settings:-
    1.create RFC destination of type TCP/IP server using TCODE SM59
    2.MAINTAIN ENTRY IN back end systems settings
    3. Activate full text search y executing the program BBP_TREX_INDEX_ADMIN .
    bUSINESS oBJECT : - bus2000113
    subtype usiness object :- cc for GOA or blank for operational contracts
    Action for SRM TREX index :- select the appropriate value from search help . for example , you would specify A for the initial index generation.
    bundle size for indexing : enter "10." bundle size affects performance. The size indicates the number of docuemnts that will be updated in one pass.if there are a large number of documents, then the size may be reduced to improve performance

  • Display list for Vendor search in SC tcode in SRM 7

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 7.1 ECS.
    THe vendor search help display list in SRM 7 in the SHOP in 1 STEP tcode displays number of columns like VENDOR ID,name,street,city etc...IN SRM 5,there were only limited number of clumns(around 6) displayed like vendor ID,name,Porg,DUNS etc.
    I know in SRM 7,we can right click and always chnage the USER settings for each individual session/user.BUt if I need to craete a default display list for the vendor serach in the SC transaction,is that possible?
    Also if I modify the web dynpro application to limit the no of culmns,then changes will be displayed in all the trasnction sin which the vendor search help might be used.
    Users in our org have problemw when scrollingtop to bottom in the result list which is displayed for the vednor seaqrch due to the new web dynpro UI in SRM 7 and hence the query.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

  • Vendor search

    Hi All,
    My customer wants to remove some fields in the vendor search screen ( BP DUNS , Email ..). Can anyone give me some input on how to go about this.
    Points for sure!!
    Harshika

    Hi
    This is only possible by making changes to the search help using SE11 Transaction. Copy the relevant search help and make changes in your custom search hhelp and instead of calling the Standard search help, call your search help.
    <u>The search help used in this case is <b>BBP_BUPA</b></u>
    Hope this will help.

  • 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...

  • Update Vendor Search Term #2 after saving.

    Hello Xprts,
    I've been trying by several ways to update the search term #2 of the vendor master data transaction (xk01) after saving the record. The tcode has 2 badi's : VENDOR_ADD_DATA and VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CD but none of them has the right Method to update after saving a record, like "BEFORE_UPDATE". I developed a FM and try to call it by a UPDATE TASK with a CALL TRANSACTION XK02 in update mode with a batch input code but i also can't update in that mode. Does anybody knows another badi, event, method to clear this sceneraio. i'll really appreciate the help.
