[Former Member]

Hi ,

Do we have table for maintaining the validity

period of the Vendors.if so , help me out.

or how the validity period is taken for the

vendors.

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no validity period for vendors. You can set a deletion indicator, but this doesn't actually delete the vendor.

the deletion flag.

A vendor can be marked for deletion at various levels: company code, purchasing org or everywhere. Depending on that it can be LFA1 or LFB1 or LFM1.

LOEVM is the field.

Use transaction FK06 to mark a vendor for deletion. You can also use transaction FK05 to block it.

Note that if you mark a vendor for deletion, you will still be able to post to it. Blocking prevents posting.

As I said before, marking it for deletion won't delete it. The archiving program does this (but only if there are no open items against it).

What do you mean by validity dates for a vendor? I don't know if there is one. Are you referring to inforecords where validity period makes sense?
