Vendor Partner Function in Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can we bring in vendor into the sales order as partner function at item level through standard configuration.

Scenario:

Vendors are mapped to materials through purchase info record

when customer are placing the sales orders we need to identify the vendors at the item level.

Business requirement:

Deliveries should be split according to the vendor.( Planning to use the vendor partner function in the vl10a)

Billing docs should be created based on the deliveries created for a specific vendor. (Not able to find a solution for this as Partner function is not available in VF04)

Can you please help me out in finding a solution for both of the issues.

1. Determining Vendor from material entered in sales order.

2. Billing due list by Vendor partner function.

Thanks and regards,

KK

Hi,

I dont think any such option is available.

One thing you can do -you can write coding in partners exit to enter the vendor number from Info record where in selection critiera you can give material & valid on .

- once vendor is available at item level, then by creating new routine for delivery split or invoice split , you can create delviery / invoice wrt; vendor.

- If your objective is to split only delivery wrt:vendor (, invoice split is not required) & vice versa ( invoice split criteria should have vendor + salesorder/item no)

- another options- I dont know how much feasible itz.

- detemine item category- (copy of TAS) which will create Purchase requisition tab & determine purchase info record along with vendor.

- By using this vendor , with the help of routine you can easily split delivery / Invoice.

Note: sch.line category should have dummy PR type ( which will not assigned to any PO doc type- & should not be used as reference in any of POs)

- Sch.line cat should be coopy of CP, but should have pr type.

check for the feasibility & try . In 2nd option you dont need to go for any enhancment , everything can be managed with customization & routine.
