Is it possible to add a supplier in RFQ which doesn't exist in S4/HANA. What about one time supplier?

Hi,

A one-time vendor refers to a vendor from whom materials are not procured frequently, typically used for occasional purchases or for obtaining quotations. Procurement from such vendors may occur once a year or on a need basis.

The process of creating a one-time vendor is similar to creating a regular vendor using transactions XK01 or FK01. The key difference lies in the Vendor Account Group. A separate account group is defined for one-time vendors, requiring only minimal vendor information during creation.

For one-time vendors, the vendor's address and other relevant accounting details are maintained at the time of creating the Purchase Order (PO) and Invoice Receipt (IR).

If you need to convert a one-time vendor into a regular vendor, you can update the vendor account group and maintain any additional data required for regular vendors.

Hi Raheel,

Thanks for the feedback, however there is a SAP note which states that from new version of S4, One time vendor is not supported.

For reference : 2681606 - Unable to assign a one-time vendor in Manage RFQ

Is there any other simpler way to achieve one time vendor creation as in our business this is a very common scenario. 

Is there any work around?
