Issue in SRM company code based Vendor search

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are having a critical issue in SRM company code based Vendor search. We are using Classic scenario.

By design we have different Vendor numbers for same Vendor across company codes. ie For example, Vendor name is Apple and Company code CC1, CC2, CC3. We have Vendor numbers as 111,112, 113 for Apple across CC1, CC2, CC3. Only 111 will be extended to CC1,112 to CC2 and 113 to CC3. At this point SRM Company code based search in Shopping Cart worked correctly. If we search using CC1 and Apple, we get 111 as result. As per expectation.

By a mistake, MDM team has extended all Vendors to all company codes. 111 to all CC1, CC2, CC3. Later we " Marked for Deletion" those irrelevant vendors for the irrelevant Company codes. ie 111 is marked for deletion in CC2 and CC3.

But, the SRM Company code based Vendor search in Shopping cart is having issues now. When we search using CC1 and Apple, we are getting all three results 111,112, 113. This is creating lot of issues for our users to choose the correct vendor between these three.

Kindly suggest a solution to solve this issues. Thanks in advance!!

Which search-help do you use?

Because with BBP_BUPA_AVL and BBP_BUPA_VENDOR search-helps, company code does not make part of search-help parameters (which makes sense as vendor company code data are not replicated to SRM from ECC).

So, i guess you have a specific process...

So adjust this specific process.
