Posting vs Purchasing Block for External Business Partner

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are using SRM 4.0 Classic Scenario.

We have an issue with Blocked Vendors during replication from R/3 to SRM.

If there is a Posting Block (All Company Codes) for a Vendor in R/3 and no Purchasing Block (All Purchasing Orgs) this is being brought in with a "central block" in SRM. This is preventing us to search this Vendor

or Vendor is not auto defaulted when Catalog items are added.

We want to bring in the Posting Block Vendors as well and use them without the central block set in SRM? How do we do this?

Please help!!!

Best Regards,

Hari.

Hi,

In BBPMAININT, you can flag or unflag the blocking.

Thanks Yann,

I made this change, but when shopping cart is created and when this vendor(Central block) is assigned as a desired vendor, it gives a warning message, but we would like have an error, when blocked vendor is assigned.

Any ideas on turning warning message into error message?.

Thanks,

Anji

Hi,

It should be message # 303

Please change in table BBPV_PDMSG

bus2206

bbp_pd

303 from 'W' to 'E'

Kind regards,

Thanks Yann.

The object for Shopping carts is BUS2121 n Message 303.

This complishes our requirement.

Thanks,

Hi

In SRM you can manually release the 'central block' for the vendors that are actually blocked centrally in R3.

But I think this is not recommended, as there will be inconsistency between the vendor masters in R3 and SRM...

Yes, it is not at all a recommended solution, as we do Vendor synch, which would set the block again automatically.
