Vendor Number Range Assignment

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a question... when we create a vendor using XK01 it automatically takes the system generated Vendor number, can you please tell me how can I manually enter a vendor number for a particular vendor. Also is there a way if we can keep both the ways working i.e. we should have a capability to create a vendor using the system generated number and at the same time we should also have a capability to do it manually also.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Raj

I dont find any ABAP related issue here.

Anyway did you try creating vendor with your external number ?

You can create vendor using both internal and external number range

based on your system configuration.

Hi

Which number can be assigned to a vendor depends on Account Group.

In customizing it's assigned for every Account Group if the range is internal or external.

So if u need to have vendor with an external range u need to define a new account group.

I don't think it's possible to use both kind of range for vendor belonging to the same account group, but in your system u can have account groups with external or internal range.
