The industry field allows only one entry for your data that you have setup in customizing.

But cant you create a new industry code, which is a combination of 2 others?

Hi,

What is your category represent to vendor master?

Which field you entered /assigned your one category to vendor master/vendor number( XK02 or XK01)!

Now what problems-you are having to assign multiple categories to your single vendor number?

No it will allow only once Industry group, but you can have same group for another vendor also which will help you during vendor evaluation.

Hi Kaustubh,

You want to have multiple industry for a single vendor ? but does the vendor specified industry has the same address ? if not then create separte vendors and assign the industry sector to the vendor.

In general you cant have multiple value option for the field industry in vendor master.

Best Regards,

Anil

I think you have to understand the vendor category concept.

There are two types of vendor category

1. Internal

2. External.
