Default data for article master -Purchasing/Logistics view

[Former Member]

Hello,

What is the difference between below configuration settings:

1. Logistics general --> Basic data retail --> General control, retail master data --> tab Control parameters for article master --> field 'vendor default data'

2. Logistics general --> Business Partner --> Vendor --> controls --> Define account groups --> go to details --> tab default values

Are these settings intended for same purpose ( e.g. copy default data from vendor master to article master) ?

Thanks,

Pat.

Found the answer

Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Purchasing Data

All changes that you make to the reference data in the vendor master record are copied to the purchasing data in the article master record if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Business Partners in Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Vendors.

Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Logistics Data

The changes are also copied to the site-specific logistics data if the vendor is either the sole vendor or the regular vendor and if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Logistics Basic Data: Retail in General Control, Retail Master Data. For more information, see Vendors: Copying Changes to Other Data Records.
