Wrong Vendor Code in Incoming IDoc

Former Member — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 10:28:44 GMT

Hi..

I have an issue to fix but not able to figure out the root cause.. here is the scenario :

Intercompany billing is transferred from One CoCode to another (both companies are on SAP but in different instances)

At the receiving Company say, R001, the vendor invoice is being posted to the wrong vendor code (1000), whereas it should be posted to vendor 2536.

The Outgoing IDoc at sending company (S001), has the following values in E1EDKA1 :

24347 is the Customer code of the receiving company in the sender's system and 0061 is the Sales Org. What I am confused with is the value of LIFNR which is appearing for partner function RS. What is the meaning of this RS function and where is this value getting populated from.

Having said that, the value 0000024347 is maintained in the vendor master of vendor 1000 at the receiving company in field "Acct w/vendor", and for vendor 2536, the value maintained in this field is 24347.

So, is it only due to this value that the invoices are being posted to 1000 instead of 2536, and will the problem be fixed if I maintain 0000024347 for vendor 2536 also. In such case, what about LIFNR value for RS in E1EDKA1.

I am not sure about all this as I am FICO consultant. Please let me know if this can be resolved at functional level ??

Thanks & Regards,

Nikhil Jalan

HI Nikhil,

RS is mapped to PI : Invoicing Party.

There is a detailed wiki for this.

Have a look.

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for the link. If RS is Invoicing party then why is LIFNR value showing as "0000024347", shouldn't it be 2536 ?

Hi All,

Closing this issue. Was resolved by updating Acc w/vendor fields in the vendor master for correct vendor.

Thanks !!
