Spend on Vendor

[former_member394865]

I have a requirement for a report. Business wants to see how much spend/Procurement they have done over a period of time from a family of Vendor.

Example- My main Vendor Name is “XYZ” and this vendor has presence is different countries for example XYZ-China, XYZ Europe, XYZ-US. XYZ-India. All these vendors from China, Europe, US, India have different vendor codes in SAP. Now business wants to see the total spend/Purchase value for XYZ in whole. Business doesn’t want to enter individual vendor codes at ME2L. They just want to enter XYZ and want to see total Spend/Procurement Value. How to club individual vendor codes from China, Europe, US, India under one Code to see the report.

Vendor Sub range doesn’t look a possible solution here. Please suggest some possible solution.

Each vendor with an own address is an individual vendor with another vendor number.

To link 2 or more vendors to each other you either can use partner functions, classification or vendor hierarchies.

None of these three options will allow you to see the value of the main vendor in ME2L, those options are just ways to link one vendor to another. But you might be able to use such information as basis for own reports

I personally never worked with vendor hierarchies, just know what can be read in help.sap.com
