Creating Business Partners for Vendors

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are working on an issue where we need to treat our vendors to be the business partners, and for this we need create business partners for all the employees that have as a role of a vendor. So can you please provide some documentation on this and also the way we can do this.

Thanks,

Hi ,

U can create an BP by using an standard BAPI Funtion Module Kindly check it out (BAPI_Create_BP) not sure.

U need to fetch all the employee from the Infotype 0002 and need to create an Bp.

After creation u can check it with Bp transaction.

Thanks,

HI Raj,

To create Business Partner you can use T Code: BP. Here you can create a business partner as Consumer or Business Partner General. As in your case you want them as vendors, so go to Tcode BP, create one BP as General and save it.

After that you can assign roles to it.

Other useful T code in this regard is BUPT, it is a task menu and have all the required things.

A good document on BP:

I have following questions regarding this issue:

1. Is there a config option that would allow us to create business partners manually for employees that need to be reimbursed?

2. Is there a enhancement spot to make (Vendor #) = (M number) (i.e. our external number), if we use BP as an option

Thank you,

Hi,

We are able to get a synchrnization between our HR and Business partner, as and when we are creating a new employee it's creating a corresponding Business partner for that. I also checked that both the employee and Business Partner for that employee are in sync i.e. if we are updating anything using PA20 for the employee it will also get updated in the corresponding Buisness Partner. We achieved this by doing the configuration settings that will link Employee and Business Partner. Now the issue is we want to have a corresponding vendor also as soon as a business partner is created for an employee, so this means that we want to link Business Partner to Vendor. We tried to look in the following notes but still it's not creating a vendor when a Business Partner is getting created.
