Does anyone know why SAP does not replicate a vendor marked as a sole proprietor in R/3 down to SRM? How can we replicate sole proprietors? We are running in extended classic scenario.
The Sole Propertiers are natural vendors who are mainly used for Tax Reporting purpose in backend system . SAP does not consider replication of sole propertiers as they do not have all master data like email id and some other details. If these kind of vendors are replciated from R/3 to SRM with the missing master data it results in inconsistency in SRM system.
So these vendors are not considered for replication on purpose.
Why then would BBPGETVD replicate that same vendor the moment I uncheck the Sole Proprietor flag. If master data details are missing it should fail regardless of if it is a sole proprietor or not, not because of it. To prove it, I created a sole proprietor vendor without an email id. BBPGETVD did NOT replicate, the moment I removed the sole proprietor flag (still without an email id) BBPGETVD replicated the vendor. Would that still not cause an inconsistency?
As mentioned as well, BBPUPDVD will replicate updates to a sole proprietor that's already in SRM (because I replicated by removing the sole proprietor flag), but BBPGETVD would not replicate it when it is first created?
In essense what this means is for instance, I can only buy Pizza from the large company like Pizza Hut, but I cannot buy from the single store Uncle Ed's Pizza because he is a sole proprietor.
Purchasing from a sole proprietor is not a problem in R/3, but in SRM6 it is. I'm looking for help on how other people are working around this problem.
This really is a big deal for SAP to say "we will not replicate sole proprietor vendors".
Our thought process right now is to run a job in R/3 to uncheck the sole proprietor checkbox in all vendor master records, run BBPGETVD in R/3 then when that is complete, mark the checkbox in the vendor master. However once that vendor has been replicated, BBPUPDVD will replicate updates to SRM that are made to the vendor master in the backend. That doesn't make sense to me?
It is marked in the control view of vendor master, in the Tax Information portion of the screen. Fieldname "STKZN". If you specify that exact vendor in BBPGETVD the message returned is: "No data records found for system <backend system>, client <client>; check entries", if you go back to R/3 and uncheck the sole proprietor check box BBPGETVD will replicate the vendor.
In the following countries, the system needs to know whether the taxpayer is a legal or natural person so that it can check the tax numbers correctly:
Brazil
Bulgaria
Colombia
Croatia
Greece
Italy
Mexico
Peru
Slovenia
Thailand
Ukraine
The flag is also used in conjunction with the Statement of Payments to Natural Persons report, as used in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia. This report only covers customers and vendors for whom you have set this indicator.
In South Korea, it is used in conjunction with the Generic Withholding Tax Reporting program.
