Hi

The main Difference b/t MK01 & XK01

--T Code MK01-Vendor is maintained at Purchasing Organization Level while & through T Code XK01-Vendor is maintained at Company code Level

-- for Purchasing material Like ROH, HALB etc.... which affect the balance sheet of the company in that case we will have to maintained the Vendor at Company code level through XK01

--for Purchasing material which does not affect the balance sheet of the company in that case we can maintain the Vendor at Purchasing Organization level through MK01

Thanks

intially the pur.organisation will find the vendor by mk01 and later it ll extend to company code level by xk01 ( same vendor no in mk01 ).

Hi

In MK01 you are creating vendor at purchase organization level means you can not create company code specific data in this.

While in XK01 that is centrally you are creating data for Purchase org and company code level

If you want only company code specific then go for FK01.

You can not maintain accounting info,payment transactions,withholding tax details in MK01.

Means MK01 is for MM and FK01 for FI and XK01 is center for both.

You will get clear when you go in XK02 MK02 and FK02 and enter your vendor and see data relevent fields then you will have clear picture.

Hope this will helps you,

yes both r used to crete vendor master but xk01 is used if u want to create vendor master at company code level

it means if u have created a vendor master using xk01 then the information stored in it like terms of payment or the partner role remains vaild for all the plants irrespective of place ofr plant like i can have palnts in delhi mumbai and for both the palnt i need differnt payemnt terms or differnty partner role

but it is not possible as u have created the vendor master at xk01

now if want to make dat of vendor master plant specific then i need to create it using screen mk01

and u might have noticed that in mk01

company code field does not come

an in additon to this let me tellu when u create parten role setting in backend or on img scree then u have 3 option there partner role for

purch org / vsr/ company code
