Will it cause an issue if ARBCIG_AN_VENDOR table populated with all the vendors

[venkatguru]

Hi all,

We have just noticed that Ariba buying vendors were not included in the ARBCIG_AN_VENDOR table which caused issue with the invoice status updates. We are sending Invoice status updates, Remittance advice, Goods receipt and SES updates back to the vendor on AN. We decided that to avoid such issues in future it would be best to populate the table with every SAP vendor/company code. Would this create an issue if the vendor is not enabled on the network.

Will there be CIG errors for vendors that are not enabled ?

Thanks

Venkat

hi

See here to understand when is that table used:

For other transactions, table is not checked by CIG (for example PO sent from SAP to Ariba)

Hi Prem,

I did a quick test and GR message failed in CIG because the system could not find the vendor in AN. I assume it will be the same case for SES and Invoice status updates
