Stop Fax functionality for some buyer codes.

[former_member560682]

Hello Everyone,

We need to stop faxing for certain buyer codes in SRM. Because some buyers are retired and we do not want to fax the POs under their buyer codes.

Because we run the L7A and L6G programe and it sends all the purchase orders to faxing. We want to stop the faxing of these POs while these programs are running and once these programs are complete we want to turn on the Fax functionality.

Can somebody help me in this?

Thanks,

Khushbu.

My understanding is that you wouldn't want the PO to be faxed to those buyers (also PO creators) who are retiring. If this is the correct understanding, you could modify those buyers' fax information, e.g. to a non-existing fax number, in your backend HR system then replicate those buyers to SRM. That way those POs are still going to be sent to valid vendors, but won't occupy your company's fax machine.

Thanks Jay for the reply.

Yes your understanding is correct. My requirement is like that only but can you tell me on which transaction I can change the output type for all the purchase orders?

As we know in SAP R3 we have MN05 transaction to define or change the output type for the purchase order. Can you please tell me the same kind of transaction in SRM?

in MN05 you can maintain for which messagetype of the and vendor you want to use mail instead of fax

When you have a messagetype in de PO like ZXXX for sending the fax then you can also set it to email in MN05 for specific vendors. (in customising mail must also be active for ZXXX ofcourse)

kind regards

Hi,

Output medium is maintained in Supplier master. It is not based on buyer user.

Thanks for the reply Masa.

Can you tell me what should I do in Supplier Master to stop Faxing functionality ?

Because when the certain reports run, it automatically send the Fax to the buyers who are retired and it is increasing load to the system.

Thanks,

Khushbu.
