0Vendor or 0Ven_Purorg

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing modeling and I came across Vendor in our reports. Iam getting lot of infoobjects for LIFNR( field name) and more infoobjects like 0vendor, 0ven_purorg etc. How do we know which infobject to use ? what is the criteria to decide which one?

Thanks.

Hi Vaishali,

It depends according to your requirements.Usually we use 0VENDOR for LIFNR.Its adviced to use 0VENDOR for Vendor account ie LIFNR.So better go with that.

Also check once in table RSOSFIELDMAP that which object is assigned to LIFNR in the extractor you are using.

Hope this helps

Hi Vaishali

Interesting question!!! In SAP there are so many objects which are populated from different source system. say we have 0product from ECC, 0BBP_PRODUCT from SRM , 0product from APO and many more. The deciding factor would be the application component defined in the infoObject. Check your application component in infoObject then search the data source in RSA6 under this application component and use this source system.

This is not hard and fast, i have seen scenario where application component are different from Application component of data source.

Hope it will help

Thanks

sorry didn't read your question properly

You should use LIFNR for 0VENDOR. Although the same field may be mapped with 0ven_purorg but the data source is different. I would suggest start with your infoObject and find the field in R/3 instead of finding BW IO for R/3 fields.

Thanks

Hello Vaishali,

It depends on which segment data of Vendor you want to load to BI.

Vendor data is available in three segements. LFA1 (A-seg) LFB1 (B-seg) LFM1 (M-seg)

The Infoobject: 0VENDOR --> contains A-segment data

The Infoobject: 0VEN_PURORG --> contains M-segment data

The Infoobject: 0VEN_CC --> contains B-segment data

so decide on which data you want to have in BI for vendor.
