Vendor Field in Customer Master Record

[Former Member]

Hi All,

A basic Question. What is the Importance of Vendor Field in Customer Master Record.( general data > control Data>account control)? I hope the customer number also appears in the material master record.

Thanks In advance

well u also have a customer feild in vendor maser record ..

this plays a role in third party processing ..

a sales order if vendor is fixed then the order having this customer number generates a PR --- PO wrt tht vendor.

Hi Sudhahar,

In some cases, your vendor could also be a customer to you.So in your system you would have a vendor master record and a customer master record. Now in the customer master record you can enter the vendor no and have a link between them. eg) Tata Motors buying tryes from MRF for their cars and at the same time MRF buys cars from Tata Motors

it means there can be situations where a customer is also your vendor. so we identify such situations by marking him as a vendor in the customer amster data.

hi

IF the customer happens to be a vendor also then we need to maintain the vendor by specifying the a/c number in customer master data and vice versa in vendor master record
