ME32K - data retention levels Partner - add / delete partners

[Former Member]

Hello,

2 questions regarding partners in contracts, for which I would appreciate your comments / help:

• Is there any way to delete a vendor from contract in ME32K (VN)? We are able to delete partner functions, except VN.
• Is there any limit for adding purchase organizations in data retention levels? I ask this because we have several contracts which should be updated for other purchase organizations but we are not able to do it, in change mode. Please find below the print that show this situation. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jürgen L,

I have a situation where my client insert wrong VN role for a specific Purchase organization, in a contract.

The contract has several purchase organizations so they don't want to delete the contract because of a mistake in one purchase organization. Is there any other way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

AN

It does not make any sense to delete the vendor from the partner screen, if the vendor is not valid then delete the contract.

Once you use partners then the role VN for vendor is mandatory and gets its vendor number automatically from the vendor used in the document. Unchangeable.

You can have unlimited retention levels. It is probably the user who reaches his limits earlier than the system when maintaining the data.
