Freight fordword agent name description not changing

[Former Member]

Dear all

I am facing an issue in changing the freight forwording agent no in my delevery. The issue is through se16n I am able to change my ff agent no in VBPA  and the changed vendor no is coming in my delevery but by taking that address no from  VBPA and want to change the name description of the vendor then system allows me to change in that delevery but same changes are updating in my all other deliveries. and one more thing its updating the vendor general data also. Please help me out I just want to change for a particular delivery.

you valuable  advice will be  highly apperciated.

thank you

Hi Shane

I am wondering why you are playing with tables directly. Why don't you go to your delivery in VL02N and go to header partner tab and double click on your partner number and change the name. It will be changed only for that particular delivery. What is the need of changing in standard tables directly

Hi Ali,

thanking you for quick response, but my problame is the sales process has been completed (pgi, shipment doc and invoice is posted to fi) so now every thing is in gray mode, so in this case i dont have any choice. thats why I am tweaking the tables. Please suggest me if any other advice or technique if any thing you have.

Once again thankx

Dear Shane

Still it is not recommended to change data directly in standard tables. I think you should talk to your seniors or management and reverse the billing document and PGI with VF11 and VL09 respectively and make changes. You can again do the PGI and billing document even they are in some previous periods. Please consult with your FI guy also and follow what SAP has recommended. Tweaking with standard tables is not a good practice and you don't know what and where it will effect.

Hi Shane,

As per my understanding if you have done changes in vendor general data, its automatically update all delivery relate to that particular vendor, you can not restrict it for particular delivery.

If possible change it manualy in VL02N

Hi AJC,

I have not changed in vendor master data. I only changed in table ADRC by taking address no from VBPA table for a particular delivery.. Please put  some clarity on this .

thanking you in advance
