Hi,

If it Customer then you need to use KNA1-KUNNR.

If it Vendor then you need to use LFA1-LIFNR.

If you have the sales order number and the item number, then you can get the vendor number from VBPA-LIFNR.

hi ravikanth,

yes, i have access to VBPA but i have outbound delivery doc no. item no. so KUNNR is filled in VBPA, not LIFNR

Vendor is the person who sells the goods..Your customer can also be a vendor for his/her customers....

Hi Surendra,

first thing u need to do before start looking into various tables is, ask the consultant wat exactly they mean by vendor n where they enter it...from the transaction n field where they enter it, u can easily track down the table where this value is stored... now vendor can be anything..lets say for selling this good, u had to purchase raw material from a <b>vendor</b>, this will be available in PO details( EKPO table ), or vendor for ur customer is <b>urself</b>...so verify first wat exactly this vendor is....

In all probability, you are looking for a carrier partner of a delivery, because this partner will be a vendor(you pay the carrier to deliver your goods to the customer). So ask your functional/business person to show you which partner they want on the delivery number. Then you can find that partner value in VBFA using that partner function, document number and line number(if partners are maintained at item level.

There is also a possibility that your customer is also a vendor in your system. In that case, you will maintain the customer number on the vendor master and vendor number on the customer master. So if you look at KNA1 record for the customer, you will see that there is a field LIFNR in there and there is KUNNR in LFA1.
