Hello Experts

I have the currency as an optional field in the vendor master data for de purchasing data.

So when doing an RFQ for this vendor without currency informed, an error appears:

No currency assigned to vendor (Maintain master record)

Message no. 06497

And in the customizing I put the currency as an optional field for the RFQ.

What can I do? It is necessary to put as required field in the vendor master data?

Thanks in advances

I know that the currency should be requerid in the contract, but why I need to have it mantained in the vendorr master data? I would like to put it in the contract directly for those vendors that dont have the currency in the master data.

the more you enter in master data, the less you have to enter in the thousands of transaction data which is created using this master data.

Even if you have a currency in vendor master, you can maintain a different currency for the exceptional contract.So you just maintain exceptions instead always.

Yes, I know what you mean.

But I have the field of the currency in the vendor master data as optional. So if the user does not indicate the currency in the vendor, it is not possible to create a Contract (tx ME31K) for this vendor because the following error appears:

No currency assigned to vendor (Maintain master record)

Message no. 06497

Procedure

Please maintain the purchase order currency for this vendor in the purchasing data of the vendor master record.

And the system does not allow to indicate one manually.

For the PO, instead, it is possible to make reference to a vendor that does not have any currency and indicate then it in the PO.

Thank you for your help,

It does not work in the way neither.

I fill all the information in the first screen of ME31K (vendor, dates, type, pur org, pur group) and the I press the hat (header data) and then I have to enter the company code. after entering this information the error appears...

Any other solution?

Thank you very much

06497 is a hardcoded error in program MM06EF0U_UEBERNAHME_LIEFERANT, so there is no way to stay with your design of no currency in vendor master if you want create contracts
