Hello Rafi,

You may have to block a vendor for a number of reasons like vendor delivers poor quality goods , repeatedly misses deadlines , failed to reach agreement with you on conditions, vendor repeatedly issues incorrect invoices, vendor has gone into liquidation etc.

Purchase order placed with the vendor, purchase requisitions involving the vendor, allocation tables that involve purchase orders being placed with the vendor (purchasing block). In simple terms in order to restrict the business we are blocking the vendor at purchasing organization level for not making any POs and invoices further.

You can block the vendor at purchasing organization level in XK05 else

Go to XK02 ---> Extras Tab ---> Click Blocked data ---> You can block the vendor at relevant level according to your requirement.

I hope it clears!

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

In brief blocking or restricting a vendor to do any purchase transactions(Buying). Purchase block will be at purchase organization level or at company code level. This can be done from Xk02->Extras-> blocked data -> click relevant blocks as required. Else you can use XK05 directly to perform the same.

Hi,

In the Business terminology, if you don't want to do the any purchase activity against to any vendor you can activate the blocked for posting or activate deletion indicator.
