vendor deletion

[Former Member]

Hi gurus

I have a scenario where I created a vendor in R/3 , this was replicated to SRM.

Now i have put a deletion flag on this vendor in R/3 .

how do i ensure that all the delta changes are updated in SRM also. How can i set deletion flag in SRM , so that this vendor cannot be used for purchasing.

Should i directly use Delete partner in "Manage Business Partners" ?

Regards,

Hi

<u>Please provide the System version details -></u>

<b>Please look at some SAP OSS Notes below -></b>

Note 1039409 BBP_VENDOR_GET_LIST3: Update BP data by archiving flag

Note 972767 Vendors w/o reference to purchasing organization back end

Note 673331 Deletion indicator in purchasing data record of R/3 vendor

Note 566802 Preassignmnt of transmssion medium for repliction of vendors

Note 445496 Backend vendors with deletion flag are replicated

Note 594917 EBP: Replication of Vendor addresses

Note 501090 Locked vendors / vendors to be deleted can be selected

Note 431375 Checks for vendors

<u>Please try this -></u>

1) You can unassign or block this vendor contact person by using transaction code BP. Find out the business partner number of the vendor contact person and go to the status tab in T-code BP for the role vendor in business partner maintanance and click on block business partner. This will ensure that you are unable to select this business partner in the search criteria.

2) There is a Standard SAP report to delete the Business partner.

Use Transaction SE38 and execute the report BUPA_TEST_DELETE.

You can select Business partner or partners and delete.

3) Either using BBPMAININT (Manage Business Partner - Web Transaction)- Try either - Edit / Delete / Block; this Contact person.

4) You can do it from transaction USERS_GEN. You can delete and/or assign user from there.

Hi,

For deletion flag setting for EBP vendor,see the foll note:

Note 673331 - Deletion indicator in purchasing data record of R/3 vendor

Also if you no longer need to use the vendor in SRM,then you can delete the vendor from SRM system using the trasncn "Manage Business Partners"

OR

Run the FM "BUP_BUPA_DELETE" by giving the BP no and uncheck the checkbox for TEST run while running this FM.Also before running this FM,mark the archiving flag for the BP of that vendor in the trasn "BP".

Do let me now.

BR,
