Vendor Master Data: Tax Numbers for Bidders

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I would like to maintain Tax Numbers for Bidders (SRM7).

I can see that, somehow, corresponding table to handle tax numbers is not displayed when maitaining Bidders from portal. Such table is only displayed when maintaining Suppliers.

Does anybody know why? In order to implement the requirement, I thought of using Search Term 1 as Tax Number for Bidders, but I donot really like this way, taking into account that there is already a standard table to handle tax numbers :S.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi Vicente,

This is true. You cannot maintain tax numbers for bidders because they are not yet the finalised suppliers with whom you would want to carry out business. Only once you have accepted a bidder via supplier registration or supplier qualification, will these bidders be converted to suppliers. Then you can maintain tax numbers for them.

The norm is that sensitive information like Tax details should not be maintained until you do business with the potential supplier.
