Use of PRAA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was informed that automatic creation of vendor from the HCM module can be done using Tcode PRAA. Can someone briefly discuss how this works? What are the fields to fill in before executing the program? And any pre-requisite requirement both in FI and HCM side?

Appreciate any inputs you can provide.

Thanks,

Hi Rod,

You would need a vendor already present as you have to need a 'reference vendor master record'.

you can either ask the FI consultants to do it or you can do it in TC FK01.

here you can link the vendor to pernr..

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt response, but what I need to create are the employees from the HCM going to FI as employee vendor.

hi Rod,

in TC PRAA are there any vendors in drop down of ' Reference vendor master record' ???

if yes select one of them and also enter the employee you want as a vendor and execute...

else create vendor in TC mentioned earlier, there is a place where you can assign pernr to vendor.. did you get that ??

Hi Vishwas,

I followed your instruction but upon executing the program, it shows only records of all employees that were still not created as vendor in FI. How this employee can be created as vendor automatically.

Please give the step by step procedure to follow.

Hi Rod,

In TC PRAA u have to execute the batch input to link the vendor to employee.

if u know how to do that plz do it.

else do it this way:

1- TC FK01

2- Enter Vendor name, com code , accoung gp ( Std in 0001 )..

3- Give the details that come. in sequence. in t Accounting info screen the last field in ' pernr' . enter t pernr for whom you want to create as a vendor employee.

this links t vendor to t employee.

Hi Vishwas,

Thanks for your time and patience.

You mean to say that I still need to create vendor manually in FK01?

Like for example, I have 5 new employees being hired this month and I want those employees be created as vendor-employee in FI. What steps do I need to make?

I am trying to execute PRAA in background with the following parameters entered:

Key date: Today

Selection: sample personnel number

Maintenance Mode: Initial Setup

Untick- create new company code.....

Reference vendor master record: sample employee vendor previously created

Work File: /usr/sap/DEV/SYS/global/APACT (defaulted upon accessing the program)

Process mode: Update run

Name of Job: A/P_ACCOUNTS

Name of batch input session: A/P_ACCOUNTS

After executing the program, message appear as BACKGROUND JOB WAS SCHEDULED FOR PROGRAM RPRAPA00. (In what tcode can I view this scheduled job)

By the way, my client doesn't have Travel Management as module.

Appreciate the help you could give.

Thanks,

Hi Rod,
