ME5A report shows blank vendor code

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I run Std ME5A report and it usually displays blank code code in many PR line items. In my organisation the POs are created with source-assign (zee tcode) as well as direct creation (without source assign).

However I could not establish the exact behaviour whether the blank vendor code is displayed to only one particular case. It is not so, the blank vendor code is appearing randomly is any of the cases.

Kindly advise the needful.

Please create the Info record for that material in purchase organisation, also maintain the source list and quota arrangement if quota applied. If vendor is fixed it will come automatically in PR.

Or you can do ME57 assign vendor and then you can do ME59N accordingly.

Hi,

   Standard SAP will show the vendor name assigned in PR (only if vendor is assigned) in ME5A report. If you have altered standard program, please check the same with abaper.

   If you didnt alter the standard program and you are in ECC 5.0 or below, please check the following notes:

776978 - ME5A(ALV): Name of the desired vendor is not displayed

821142 - ME5A(ALV): Name of the desired vendor is not displayed

@AKPT

Thanks for the close answer. However, I am in ECC 6.0 and POs are created by both ways - Spot Creation with ref to PR as well as using source assign (custom tcode).

Hi,

   I think you are expecting the PO vendor in ME5A report.

   As of my knowledge, ME5A report is for PR only and it will show the vendor assigned in PR- Item Level - Source of supply tab only. If no vendor is assigned here, the vendor field will be blank in ME5A report.

   If you want PO vendor, you may refer ME2N / ME2L / ME2M report or you may create a querry with SQVI transaction linking EBAN and EKKO & EKPO tables.

Dear AKPT,

As explained earlier , even after assigning Source it shows blank.

If it shows the PO number then why the vendor column in blank.

ME5A report you can see the PR document and not the PO document the and source which had been assigned to PR.

If you have assigned source of supply (Via your custom t-code), then you will able to see the vendor in ME5A report.

Have you check the PR in ME52N t-code ?

Have you seen the vendor in Fixed vendor tab?

Also you can check the table EBAN

Can you see the vendor ...

Hi,

   Could you please post screenshot of ME53N with the source of supply tab. Also, ME5A report for the PR.

   As of my knowledge, it is standard SAP design that shows PO only, not the vendor. If you want vendor, you can use PO reports like ME2N or ME2L

Hi Ajay,

If there is no vendor present in the 'source of supply' tab in ME53n,you will not be able to see the vendor in ME5A.

As I mentioned earlier, even the Source of Supplier is assigned, it shows blank in ME5A.

Hi Ajay,

Try ALV scope list...

Dear Ajay

Vendor is not appearing in PR becasue source allocation is not done

use t.code ME57 to Assigne source (vendor) to PR later you can process the PR in ME58

Can you check the PR on ME52N which is showing blank in ME5A report.

Are you able to see the vendor in PR?

Then may be your assign source of supply is not working from Z t-code.
