Grouping of SameVendor while making Payment

[Former Member]

Hi all

For Vendor XYZ, at the moment we have five different vendor codes for the same Vendor on SAP,eg; 2000005 for warehouse and distribution costs,2000435 for freight,2000436 for duty,2000437 for clearing ,and 2000439 for freight(again)

This makes it complicated to reconcile the account when we make payments and creates more work.

Is there a way we can set up SAP to have one vendor account and five different expenses accounts to split the costs.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Regards

Are these 2000005,2000435 accounts "reconciliation" accounts? Because you know, you can only assign one recon account to a vendor code.. however you can use alternative account.

You can use one alternate payee for all these vendors, however, real postings are stil made to these 5 vendor codes.

It's better to coordinate with your Finance to have one recon account.

Hello,

If I understand you correctly, you would like to user different vendors for booking different expenses accounts, but the payment should go to a SINGLE vendor.

You have the option to create alternative payee (VENDOR only) and assign the same to ALL individual accounts in general data segment and company code segment.

When you make the payment through F110 (Automatic payment program), then payment will go to the alternative payee.

However, note that this alternative payee will not work if you make manual payments through F-53 or F-58
