Hi,

I am not very clear about your query. But if you want to change the Account groups for existing Vendor Master data, it is not possible. Once a Vendor is created and transaction data is already posted, you cannot change the Account group.

New Account groups can be created and under those groups Vendor Masters can be created. However, the existing Vendor Master cannot be moved from one group to another group.

Thanks

Thanks for the response but If i use T-code : XK07 I am able to change vendor account group, Is it advisable ? and if it is advisable and allowed then after creating Vendor account group, can i assign existing no ranges (or) i have to create new no ranges and assign to all new vendor groups which i am creating?

Hi,

Thanks for the information on changing of Account group for Vendor. I tested in a Sandbox client and it did work. I suggest that carry out testing extensively in Test system and then carry out the changes in Production client.

Thanks

Hi , after migration of Vendor masters using External Alpha-numeric (eg G1000000 - G9999999) and posted transactions/documents on production client to these vendors...how can we change the setting from Ext to Internal? Thanks, Hannes Grobler
