Create sales order for a vendor

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can somebody please tell how to create a sales order for a vendor? We do not want to create them as a customer. Please advise if there is any other way of doing the same.

Thanks.

Hi Arpita,

If you have the process of selling goods to your vendors, then you can better create a customer master for that vendor and link them to the vendor master with the option ->Customer Master - > General Data - > Control Tab - > Account Control - > Vendor field

This way you can have your vendor transactions tracked. Since this scenario is possible, SAP has provided with us the option of creating customer master and linking to the vendor. And similarily, Vendor master can also be linked to customer master.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

But our client does not want to create vendor as customer. Not even as 'one time customer'.

My client explained that:

They have to send a vendor a material they carry for reference. They believe that it is possible and they should be able to send it to the vendor using their vendor number and not creating them as a customer. They have not yet clarified if the vendor is going to pay to our client for the material received.

Please suggest if there is any way of doing this.

Thank you.

Hi Arpita ,

I hope it is possible to send the material to Vendor. Check with any of the MM consultant. You can meet your requirement through PO with Return.

Arpita,

If a company wants to sell goods / services then a customer is needed.

(From SAP perspective, a Sold to party, Ship to party, Payer are needed to create sales orders, billing documents).

Why you donot want to create a CMR for this vendor?

Would this vendor / customer be paying (for goods received) to your company?
