vendor account group

[Former Member]

Dear all

what is the use of different vendor account groups

like employee vendors, finance vendor, one time vendor

Hi

Vendor Account GRoups control the fields required for various types of vendors such as one time vendor, regular vendor etc., For one time vendor we need specific fields and for regular vendors we may need some more fields. Instead of keeping all the fields for all the vendors, SAP has given choice of selecting fields according to vendor types and there by reducing load on DATA and server. You can create vendor account groups and select your required fileds based on vendor type at TCode OBD4

Hi,

Vendor account group: - The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records.

The account group determines:

- The number interval for the account number of the vendor,

- Whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system i.e. Internal or External

- Which specifications are necessary and/or possible in the master record i.e. Field Selection
