Business Partner in XD01/VD01 how to create a vendor VN?

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

How can I create a business partner called Vendor VN and insert it in the "Partners functions" Tab of the customer master data?

Can someone show me a step by step process to achieve this?

Please advise,

Kind regards

Hai Chris,

In partner functions,

You can treat a customer as Vendor.

-

And

"Control Data" Tab

"Account control" area

"Vendor" field

Used for doing Raw material stock transfer from plant to plant.

In SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Set up stock transport order - setup shiiping data for plants

PLANT linked to CUSTOMER Number linked to Vendor Number

Hi,

In Standard Vendor will be created through XK01 transaction where we have to give Company Code, Purchasing Organization and Account group.

But a new if a new partner function need to add in the partner function needs to follow the below steps.

Go to partner determination by VOPA

OR

IMG  SD  Basic function  Set up partner functions  set up partner function for sales document header

1) Click on partner function and Maintain partner function ZV (Which I created) and back

2) Then select your existing partner determination procedure (Standard is TA) and click on PARTNER FUNCTIONS IN PROCEDURE and add partner function. And make it mandatory so even user forget to mention then at the time of saving system can remind user.

3) Then double click on PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE ASSIGNMENT

4) Assign partner procedure to sales document

Now when you creating sales order go to header partner tab and enter you institute partner number

For sales order and invoice report Execute this report by selecting partner function ZV in VA05N and VF05 respectively.

Dear Sivaramakrishnareddy Nandyala,

Thank you very much for your very detailed answer!

I have a question for your though:

What is the difference between that vendor as a Business Partner and the vendor that you see in the Customer Master Data:

1- "Control Data" Tab

2- "Account control" area

3- "Vendor" field

Please let me know.

Kind regards

Chris
