vendors, temporarily usable

[Former Member]

Hi, all,

I've a question regarding vendor master creation, hope it's the right place.

I want to create a Vendor Master record - and block the usage after a defined period of time. Is this possible?

I checked the block function, but there only a flag without date can be set.

Is the purchase info record a usable option for that task (can the fields LIFAB/LIFBI avoid ordering at this supplier)

Does anybody know a simple solution for this problem.

Best regards

Steve

Hi Steffen,

If you only want that purchase inforecords should not be valid after a certain time, then "valid-to" field in the purchase inforecord is definitely the right place.

Otherwise, you could also maintain the validity in source list.

We can comment mostly from the point of usage of inforecord in APO. If you have requirement within R/3, then please post in the ERP-MM forum that Rajesh mentioned.

Thanks - Pawan

Hi,

Use t.code: ME01 and block vendor to procure material by selecting block check box , set validity periods and save.
