Initmate Vendor Creation (MK01 + XK01)

[Former Member]

Dear friends,

I want to initimate Acc. dept. after creating vendor using MK01 tcode. MK01 used by Purchase people to create vendor and acc. dept. maintain acc. assignment. I want to initimate Acc. dept after creating vendor automatically.

Our company used 46C version but we are not using workflow. So kindly give me solution.

Thank you,

Hi Nilesh,

If you are not using workflow(the cleanest way), then you have two options.

<u>Option 1.</u>

Find a user exit that is as close to the 'SAVE' as possible. I found only one such user exit. SAPMF02K User exits: Vendor master data

Send an email out of this exit.

The only catch here is that, if the user has the ability to cancel after the call to this exit or the creation fails after the call, you will be sending an invalid message.

<u>Option 2.</u>

Let the purchasing create the vendor and you have another program that constantly monitors the change documents or LFA1 for newly created vendors and if found, sends out an email to the acc. dept.

Hope this helps,

Srinivas
