prefix on vendor ID using BBPGETVD

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

we have been asked from our client to replicate the vendors from backend system to SRM, inserting a prefix on the R3 vendors' ID.

The result they want to have is:

R3 vendor ID 1234

SRM vendor ID Y1234

Our idea is to create a copy of transaction BBPGETVD, including all the objects involved (functions, structures, BADIs, ...) , and asking the system to concatenate the prefix "Y" with the external R3 vendor number.

Does anyone have experienced the same situation?

Any critical impacts?

thanks for supporting!

Hi Elena

It could be possible for user creation.

But recommend the same vendor name in ECC as well as SRM so that there will not be confusion while searching / assigning the vendor.

Most customers does not prefer internal number range on Vendor.

Customers like unique number in SRM as well as ECC.

It helps all the time for no confusing till end of procurement process etc,

Hi,

How many backend systems are connected to SRM? I think it is not a good idea to chnage the ID.

Hi Masa,

at the moment there are connected 2 backend system, but the idea is to add 2 more in future, so the result will be:

backend 1 --> prefix Y, backend 2 --> prefix X, and so on.

The scenario is an extended classic.
