Thanks all for your help

I am planning to go with seperate vendor master for each address becasue there will be taxation involve too and different countries have different rules.so different vendor master for each address will be helpful in handling tax rules.golabla vendors mostly have slightely different names in different countires.like somewhere use Inc.somewhere corp.so we can define this difference in description.

Create one main vendor and multiple ordering addresses.

While doing PO then select the required ordering address and use it.

IQBAL,

You can maintain multiple addresses for the same vendor using international addresses.

First, you have to Activate International Address Versions for each country/language via config at

IMG: Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) > Address Management > International Settings > Activate International Address Versions (You can do this even if you are not using Real Estate Management

Then, in the vendor master, address screen, select the "International Verion" button, select the address version and maintain your address.

If you have any programs that need to display or print these addresses, you will have to specifiy the address version to display/print. by default, the version (Field = NATION) is Blank.

I hope this helps.

Hello Iqbal,

Vendor Address is at Client Level and you can maintain only one address in Standard SAP.

If you need multiple addresses, you better go to custom development (maintaining a Z-Table with combination of Country/ Plant/ P.Org etc with different addresses).

But my recommendation is create seperate Vendor Masters for each Country so as to maintain different Accounting data (Country Specific, Currencies, etc.)

Hi,

I would suggest that you create one main account for the vendor and assign multiple ordering adresses . Then when the purchasing department creates the purchase order against this vendor, they will get a pop up asking him which ordering adress he wants to use. Thanking you.
