XD02 : Previous Master Record Number

Hi,
in the customer master data we have this field : "Previous Master Record Number" (KNB1-ALTKN)
here we can enter only one number, is there any possibility to enter more than one number in this field ?
because for each customer i have two or three previous number !
Please advise.
Regards.

Hi,
It is a free field of length 10 digits. You can either manage to input all the numbers in that 10 digits or you can increase the field space in the table.

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

Infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record

Hi All,
pls help me what infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record in AP module.
Customer require when Create Employee then system automatic gernerate Vendor Master.
pls help us.
Thanks

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.

How to change Number range to Contact Person in Customer Master Record

Dear all,
We are maintaining contact person details under contact person tab in customer master record.
Currently contact person is being created using VAP1 transaction.
Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?
and where can we change the number range of contact person.
I have searched a lot to find the solution for this. Please help me to resolve this issue. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
To your first question: "Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?"
Yes, you can enter the contact person directly in the customer master in the contact person tab. A number is generated automatically.
To your second question, go to transaction SNUM, and there use object "PARTNER". Here you can configure number range for contact persons.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Nikhilesh

You only want to change the display for the field ?
If so then just redefine the method GET_ for the corresponding attribute (you can get all infos by pressing F2 when cursor is in the field).

Alternative account number in GL master record

can any one help me to define what is the use of alternative account number in gl master record as i am new in this line.
sanjay pradhan

Hi
The alternative account number field in the company code area is freely definable. You could use it to enter:
1) The account number from your legacy system or
2) The account number from a country chart of accounts if your corporate group uses a standard chart of accounts.
You might want to use a standard chart of accounts worldwide. However, the usage of another chart of accounts is required by law in some company codes. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the worldwide standard chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.

Hi,
In your partner determination procedure for Customer master, apart from assigning a Pratner proc to your A/c grp, you also need to maintain the combination of your a/c group with the partner functions that you have in your procedure.
On the left side panel, you have a link (i think 5th) saying Account group - Function assignment. In this, maintian the partner functions that you want to your a/c grp.
This will allow taking INTERNAL numbers during customer creation.
Thanks and reward points if useful

Vendor in Customer Master Record

Hi,
Need to make the tie between vendor and customer. I could not find any fields in the customer master record (XD01 / XD02 / XD03) for this purpose. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Douglas

The vendor link is located on the customer master in General Data --> Control Tab. It is at the top under account control. As the previous poster mentioned, if you are not seeing it is because it is supressed and you need to open it up through config.
The config is located in the following area: Financiall Accounting >Accounts Recivable / AP> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Prep for creating customer master data --> define account groups with screen layout
Kind Regards,
Jason
