Customer / vendor master data

[former_member1203934]

Hi all

We are currently implementing controls over customer / vendor master data. In this regard, we need to implement the following:

1. Implement duplicate controls to protect creation of duplicate vendor / master data. We have used transaction OBA5 in this regard but it only checks duplicate addresses. We intend to add other checks like tax number, VAT registration number, contact number etc. We intend to create new messages to resolve these.

2. Master data fields have standard texts. We intend to change the texts like tax number to NTN etc.

3. Validation checks on master data fields i.e. we want to restrict tax number and VAT registration number to be in specific format.

We have tried many options but are unable to find any transaction to edit standard texts and create additional checks.

Can anyone help us in this regard.

Thanks

Hi All.

I found useful information on the thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/1577212. Now I am getting error message for customers / vendors with same VAT and information message for same address and tax number 1.

Thanks all for answering.

In OBA5 you can add additional message.

OBA5 -> F2

Add mesage 272 and 273 for VAT registration number check

Thanks Ali

The check worked on VAT registration number but we need to extend the check on Tax Number 1 too. Can you help in this regard.

Thanks

Hello,

Check below user exits for master data.

For customer master checks before saving.

FM EXIT_SAPMF02D_001/include ZXF04U01. Enhancement name is SAPMF02D.

For Vendor master checks before saving.

FM EXIT_SAPMF02K_001/include ZXF05U01. Enhncement name is SAPMF02K.

Ask your ABAPer to implement these customer exits and place all your validations here.

Thanks,

Hi,

You have to activate these enhancements by creating a project in t-code CMOD. Once activated, ABAP coding has to be done in these user exits to place all your validations. If any validation fails, raise appropriate error message.

This ensures, master data is saved only if it meets all your validations.

Thanks,

We have put in validations in place, but intend to create duplicate checks by using transaction OBA5 which gives one standard message for checking duplicate addresses. We need to create additional checks on tax numbers etc.
