Vendor Partner Role in RFQ

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi All,

I have created a vendor as Dealer and main vendor as Goods Supplier.

In Goods Supplier vendor, I have maintained partner roles as Vendor Dealer.

I create RFQ for Vendor Dealer as I get quotation from dealer

Then I create PO for Goods Supplier(main Vendor form which payment will be made) I get error

Reference vendor  differs from vendor 3300000006

3300000006 - Is main vedor

3300000010 -  Dealer

Kindly suggest whether it is correct?

The error message is correct - you are doing wrong.

you create documents in SAP always to the vendor (partner role VN or LF if you missed translation)

If you want to send the papers somewhere else then you make use of the role OA order address (BA internally)

a Goods Supplier is just a dedicated information role,  GS (internally WL),  which is taken into consideration in case of Intrastat reporting to know from which country the material actually came if it is different from the country of the VN role.

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for your reply

So I should create RFQ for ordering address(OA) and PO for main vendor(VN)

Correct?

No you shall create a RFQ and PO  for 3300000006

And in the RFQ you make use of the partner role OA to send it to 3300000010

Hi,

Correct your vendor master first!

For vendor (which is dealer) 3300000010, keep only partner function OA.

For Main vendor( which is Main vendor)3300000006, keep following partner functions in Partner Functions  view in Purchasing organization data(XK02)

Partner function------- Vendor number

OA---------------------------3300000010

VN---------------------------3300000006

GS---------------------------3300000006

PI-----------------------------3300000006

Create PO for main vendor 3300000006 only  and keep vendor 3300000010 in purchasing document ( for example: partners segment OA in PO)

Hi All,

But client does not know the original vendor(supplier and invoicing party) while negotiating the prices.

So RFQ will be created for dealer and while creating PO w.r.t RFQ original vendor will be entered.

Can this be achieved?

Also client wants to track all negotiations happened for this RFQ. How to track that in one RFQ?

"But client does not know the original vendor(supplier and invoicing party) while negotiating the prices."

Isn't it just 2 questions more to ask during negotiations?

How does he get this info later?

Dealer will check the stock with foreign vendor(multiple vendor and location). Based on that, supplier(original vendor) will be provided in Indent by dealer.
