Vendor Sub-Ranges Functionality

[LIngeswar_1437]

Vendor Sub-Range: 

Vendor Sub-Ranges (VSRs) subdivide a vendor's total product range according to a variety of criteria. 

A vendor sub-range (VSR) can be breakdown of regions/product lines/locations/ whatever that we want to create for the individual vendor master record. For instance, even in the same plant we need a different vendor partnering setup because we have different (OA) vendors (order forms) for some products that we purchase from a vendor than for other products. 

• You can specify which materials or articles belong to which VSR in the info records of the relevant vendor. 


• You can also specify the sequential position of the material in the vendor sub-range, so that the items of a purchase order are sorted into the sequence in which your vendor expects them. 


• Vendor sub-ranges can be set up for any vendor master record as well. 


• With the help of Vendor sub range: you can maintain different purchasing data and payment terms etc... 


• In addition to the purchasing data or partners that have been created for a purchasing organization, you can enter different data or partners in the vendor master record for each vendor sub-range, for example, different ordering addresses, terms of payment, or partner roles.

 Conclusion: 

As we all know there are Suppliers who can supply internationally like 1 Supplier where headquarters in USA and branches in all other countries, here if they have many branches then there will be many conditions and many different values like.

E.g.: Different currency and payment terms, Incoterms and lead time 

Whereas in vendor purchasing view we can maintain only 1 value but here as per country the currency and payment terms will change. 

So here SAP we have option called vendor sub-range and this field helps to maintain different purchasing views for 1 vendor like 3-4 different currency, Payment terms and incoterms.
