Question:
Hi, all. I often meet a question about displaying vendor name. the question is: the SAP system only set the LFA1-Name1 as the default value to be displayed in many documents, such as purchasing order, purcasing contracts. but our user want to see the english name of vendor in purchasing orders. we have maintained the english name of vendor in LFA1-Name2 and LFA1-Name3. most of time, our user want to see the chinese name of vendor, however, the manager want to see the english name of vendor. can you tell me how to solve this problem.
any answer will bw appreciated.
Answer:
Hi,
Totally different from the material master where you can use many features (such as classification, intelligent code and so on) to identify the material number, you can only have limited choice of finding out the vendor number based upon such criteria as company code, purchasing organization, search terms, description and so on.... If it is a must that you should look for such feature, then I would recommend you of using the classification in the vendor master (class type 010).
Cheers,
HT

I think I do not need to use different search criteria to look up the vendor. I hope we can see the english name of vendor for purchasing documents and finance documents. because system only display the vendor's chinese name, not display the english name in purchasing docuemtns and finance documents. can you tell how to deal with it?
Answer:
Hi,
Then ask your ABAPer to look at the printing program to include the name of the vendor in English.

Answer:
First, in order to enter the vendor name/ address in Chinese, you have to install SAP Chinese version. After that, you can enter the vender name and address in the international verion with 'C' -- Chinese. All the english and Chinese name and address will be stored in ADRC table. You can extract them out from this table to the PO or any other form/reports as you like.
Hope this help.
