Copy function for "payment terms"

[donald_zhu]

I have payment terms setup with T-code MK01/MK02. After we changed the payment term with transaction XK02, the PO didn't pick up the new payment term while creating a new PO.

Any idea that we can setup it up to pickup the one changed by XK02 instead of the one set by MK02?

Thanks!

mk01/mk02 is maintenance of vendor master general data and purchasing org data

xk01/xk02 is maintenance of vendor master general data, company code data and purchasing org data.

So in general there is not difference if you maintain the payment terms in purchasing org data view with mk01/mk02 or xk01/xk02.

But I guess you maintained payment terms at company code level in XK01/xk02 and kept the payment terms at purchasing org level unchanged.

No the purchase order will never take the payment terms entered in company code data view, the PO will always take the payment terms from the purchasing org view.

Maintian it equally.

the payment terms from purchasing org data view are used in purchase process, the payment term from company code data view are used in financial process, where you dont have any PO.

Hello,

Vendor master has got 2 payment terms setup :

1. company code data - (stored in table LFB1 as field-ZTERM

This will be used in Financial postings e.g FB60

Purchasing org data - stored in table LFM1 as field ZTERM

This will be used in PO, or PO related invoicing i.e. MIRO

Check this 2 tables for your vendors and then it should explain the reason

Hope this clears
