Automatic creation of employee vendor (KS01)

[Former Member]

I want to set up a process when HR sets up an employee, there could be an automatic set up of the corresponding vendor rather than a manual process as at present.. is there any SAP standard functionality to do this? any recommendations for the best way to do do this?

thanks

The creation of vendor transaction is XK01 & use transaction PRAA

to create vendors using HR infotypes.

Hi Mary,

If you use report RPRAPA00 to create the employee's vendor account, this is done automatically.

Hope this helps.

Please assing points as way to say thanks

Hi

Just to follow on from Ravi's reply: most sites that I work at have the report RPRAPA00 scheduled to run on a periodic basis (define the job via transaction code SM36) to automatically create employee's vendor accounts. A screen variant is usually saved for the program, and then the batch session is monitored on a regular basis to ensure that it has run successfully.

Hi Kylie,

thanks for your answer. I have tried out report RPRAPA00 and it works but when i run the batch input session it is stopping because there is no "Email" maintained. We need to enter email address because it is used to send a confirmation mail to the employee. Any ideas on where we can pull in a value for Email automatically? or how this is usually handled? We don't have email maintained in the HR records, only in the user details in SU01.

thanks

this can be done as a business partner.

So create the HR record as a business partner and then use program SAPLCVI_VIEW_MAINT and SAPLFLBPC_CUST
