How is the Vendor Master Record Structured?
Vendor master records contain important data on your vendors. You can also store data in the
vendor master record that applies to certain specific organizational levels (e.g. company code,
purchasing organization, plant) within your enterprise.
The vendor master record consists of three areas:
1. General data
Data that applies equally to each company code within your enterprise (address,
telephone number, language in which you communicate with your vendor, etc.).
2. Company code data
Data kept at company code level (payment transactions, number of control account,
etc.).
3. Purchasing data
Data of importance with regard to your enterprise’s purchasing activities and which is
kept at purchasing organization level (contact person, terms of delivery, etc.).
The following Data Retention Levels [Ext.] of particular relevance to the wholesale/retail
trade exist below the “purchasing organization” level:
_ Vendor Sub-Range [Ext.] (VSR)
_ Plant
_ Vendor sub-range/plant
In addition to the data applicable to a specific purchasing organization, you can maintain
purchasing data or partner roles for a certain plant or vendor sub-range (terms of
payment or Incoterms, for example) that differ from that at the purchasing organization
level. Data specific to sub-levels that varies from that stored for the higher-level
purchasing organization in this way is referred to simply as different data.
Vendor master data maintained at company code level. So you need to extend vendor to other company codes.
