FK02 :: vendor master data change

I want to change payment terms to a particular vendor but i am getting a error message

<b>changes for vendor not yet confirmed.</b>

I tried FK08 to confirm earlier changes but i could only confirm company code changes and

not the general data.

How do i confirm earlier changes and also assign new payment terms.

Help appreciated

Hi,

Probably you may not be having authorization for confirmation of changes made to Vendor Master. If user X has made changes to Vendor Master, the same user X will not be authorized to confirm the changes.

I guess Murali is right. I may not be having the authorization to confirm the changes because i made the changes to vendor master data earlier.

I tried FK08 where it clearly states changes yet to confirmed but the confirm tab is not highlighted

Thanks for the help

Hi,

It is correct, user who made the changes to Vendor Master (sensitive fields) cannot confirm the changes. SAP Help states:

<i>Only those accounts are displayed for which you have authorization to confirm changes. As a result of dual control, the system also checks whether you were involved in the sensitive changes.</i>

You can ask any other User who has authorization to transaction code FD09 to confirm the changes. Logically, if the user who is making the changes also confirms the changes, it defeats the very purpose for which this process is defined. Hence, I think SAP would have put a validation to check the user who made the change and whether the same user is approving the changes.

Thanks

Dear Prashanth,

You should be able to confirm with either of the transactions:

FK08 Confirm Vendor Individually (Acctng)

FK09 Confirm Vendor List (Accounting)

Are you getting any error as such?
