Hi Sanket,

Some times in business there are suppliers from whom we can received only sample products, we do not post any accounting documents, neither we requires so for that cases SAP provide us the feasibility to maintain supplier only for Procurement process through MK01!

Thanks,

Hi Sanket,

XK01 - used to create the vendor master centrally.

MK01 - used to create vendor master from Purchasing or MM side.

While creating the vendor centrally one can edit all the views and while crating from MM side only MM side views are allowed to update or edit.

Hope this helps you.

hello

This is a basic question which you can just search on net ...

Many companies have vendor as reaponsibility of finanCe and purchase both.so to bifurcate that we have two more transaction mk and fk.each function fill the data separately.

ALso mk transaction isnused for creting vendor with only purchase view which will be your partner as goods supplier

Fk transaction can be used for vendors for only payments . a invoicing party or a vensor which is to be paid for service directly

Thanks
