Vendor Partner VSR Invoicing Party Partner Function

[Former Member]

In S4HANA, the VSR is overriding partner function value when we add partner function with different vendor id in the partner function. This behavior is only happening when using VSR functionality to make different partner id for different plant location. This question is not related to how to default partner function in vendor master but it is related to why same vendor id is getting as default value in partner function. Is it bug in the system ?

So you can directly compare S4 with your ECC6 and could answer my initial question "Do you want to say that it worked well before you upgraded to S4?"

I can also rephrase this question into " Did it work well this way in ECC6? "

If it works differently while having the same fields defined in master data and doing the same in the purchase order then you may open a call at SAP Support to tell them that this function does not work anymore

Jurgen,

We haven;t upgraded, yet. This process is to house two different vendor id for two separate delivery site by having common purchasing organization and VSR should allow to save different vendor id in the partner function than original vendor id for different site. It is allowing to put different vendor id but on save event it flip back to main vendor id in the partner function. This is purely in the vendor master master data. For example, we would have vendor 'A' ship to site 'A', and vendor 'B' ship to site 'B', vendor 'A' and 'B' are subset of main corporate vendor 'C'. When i create VSR in Vendor Master 'C' i want to designate vendor 'A' for site 'A' and vendor 'B' for site 'B' with VSR functionality, somehow it overwrite 'C' for both site 'A' and 'B' in vendor master.

You haven't upgraded yet... does it mean you can compare the situation in S4 with the ECC6 and it works differently?

We do have sandbox of S4 🙂

Do I understand correctly that you encounter this issue while creating a purchase order?

When exactly do you enter a different vendor which is then overwritten by the VSR partners?

Was it before you had the info record number (and hence the VSR) in your PO visible?

Are there more materials in the PO?

Do you want to say that it worked well before you upgraded to S4?
