Question:
Hi guys
I am trying to set the confirmation control key within the vendor master so that all purchase orders raised against that vendor will contain it. I just can't seem to find where to maitain it on the vendor master.
Can anyone out there help me?
Answer:
It is on the purchasing data view. You probably need to scroll down its below the control data.
Answer:
I have tried that honestly
Is there a way to restrict whether its available on that screen?
I am on version 3.1I
Help me please
Answer:
Honey,
Hmm... I have worked in a 3.0c environment 3 years back, so i cannot really recall whether the conf. control key is available in that environment, but common sense tells me that it should.
To check whether it is hidden in your system (sorry, I am at home and no sys access, flying blindly), go to config --> financial accounting --> acc payable and receivable --> master data --> vendor master --> look for something like screen setting/layout. Then try to find your field.
Hope this helps, as otherwise it should be there as svetja advised?
Good luck and don't give up!
Answer:
Hey, you didn't mention 31i before, so i checked 46c.
Monday when I am back in the company I will check 31i for you.
Answer:
Hi,
31i has already the field BSTAE in table LFM1, but I was not able to find the field in vendor master maintainance.
I checked OSS and found some notes about fields which are ONLY available on VSR or plant specific purchasing data and not under purch. org data.
but most notes except two are starting from 40A, fixing problems like confirmation control key is not copied from vendor master to info record or purchase order.
I guess field confirmation control key in vendor master is not active in 31I.
Maybe some other guys who are still on 31i can give better answers.
