U can do so using XK01/XK02....If already exists use XK02 to update the fields...

Hullo,

for existing vendors you can either use the transactions XK02 or MAP1 to add contacts... You can creade a BDC on either of those transactions.

IIRC there's also a BAPI to create customer or vendor contacts... "BAPI_PARTNEREMPLOYEE_CREATE".

Hope this helps.

Sorry,

I don't have a SAP R/3 system available at the moment... but either it would be a workarea where you'd give the information, or you'll refer to a number of a contact (or employee) which has been previously created.

But also from the top of my head...

You're using RFBIKR00 with your LSMW right? Vendor master that would be object 0040 (or 0050? one of those is the customer master you'd know the correct one anyway)...

It should come with 2 methods... (0001 and 0002) in one of those there is a structure BKNVK in which you can populate contact information. I'm guessing you're using the method that doesn't contain that structure.

Test the other method and look for the structure BKNVK. It should help you with your problems without having to resort to FM's.

Hope this helps.

Hi Venkat,

There are several means to load the Vendor master data.

1. Do a recording and Use LSMW. Create the input file and specify the file and follow the steps of LSMW.Once you create the session, you can process this session and once it is completed it will give you a detailed analysis of the created and error records.

2. Do a recording and use BDC. Create your own custom ABAP program and do all validation and display the error_audit report in the last.

3. Use Standard BAPI.

4. Use SAP Standard program.

Please check and use one of the above methods.

Thanks.

Hi Venkat,

for contact information you have to do one more LSMW, after the direct input program.

Use XK02 in recording(in the initial screen select the central address Management) and update the contact info with the same file which you used for direct input.

with the standard program don't map the all address info.

and in the second LSMW map only vendor number, acct.group... and only address screen.

hope this helps you.
