PO created instead posting block set & vendor not extended to company code!

[Former Member]

Dear friends,

I have a vendor created for a purchasing organisation in a company code. there are two problems that i am facing.

1) I have blocked a particular vendor completely. Even then system is allowing to create the PO using this vendor.

2) This vendor has been created for a particular company code & has not been extended to another company code. Even then it is allowing to create the PO using the vendor centrally blocked for creating purchase order in another company code.

There is a service PR specifying this vendor as desired vendor & the vendor is ticked for auto PO. Could this be a problem? but i think even then it should not allow to create PO that too for a different company code.

Thanks & Regards

1) I have blocked a particular vendor completely. Even then system is allowing to create the PO using this vendor.

Answer: While creation Purchase order, purchase orgnization mandatory for vendor, if vendor blocked at company code level means system will not check Company code at the time of PO creation. here in PO creation use of company code is to recognise Currency of the company code.

2) This vendor has been created for a particular company code & has not been extended to another company code. Even then it is allowing to create the PO using the vendor centrally blocked for creating purchase order in another company code.

Answer: While creation of Purchase order, Comapny code is used for only currency recognisation , system will not check vendor is created for comapny code or not? but vendor should at Purchase org level.

If vendor is not defined at company code , then it will give an error at the time of invoice only. not at PO level.

At PO level Purchase orgnisation is very important

Hi,

The vendor has been blocked completely at purcahse organisation level. So i think craeation of PO itself should not be allowed.

Am i right?

if you have activated the box "all purchasing organizations" in section purchasing block in XK05 or MK05, then you cannot create a PO to this vendor, SAP will issue message ME 022

the box "all company codes" in section posting block covers FI activities such as direct postings and invoice verification, it has no effect of PO creation.

Hi dear,

In XK05 there is option to block vendor for all company codes and all purchasing organisations ensure you have ticked both the option for the said vendor.

If this is done then system will never allow you to create PO on that vendor.

Hello Tasleem,

If you set posting block with transcation XK05 , then system will prevent posting of items to this account and issues an error message to inform them that the account is blocked.

It will allow you to create purchase order. If you want to set purchase block, you need to set purchasing block with transction XK05 or MK05 for all the purchasng organisation or selected purchasing orgainsation based on your requirements.

This vendor has been created for a particular company code & has not been extended to another company code. Even then it is allowing to create the PO using the vendor centrally blocked for creating purchase order in another company code.

It seems that you are having centralised purchasing orgainsatuon, which procures material across compnay code, so the vendor if it extended to plant teh it will allow you to ceate purchase order.

Hi Tasleem,

If your vendor is blocked for purchasing as well then system should have given you warning message that "Vendor has been blocked for purchasing".

Even though your purchase order been raised with this block vendor,system will not allow you to post the invoice for this vendor.
