Hi,

U cant create same vendor for different account grp. SAP has provided the provision to have different partner function to map the business requirement of same vendor having different master data.

IF you want to have specific to account grp, still u can create with different account grp and assign it in partner function.

But you cant create same vendor to different account grp.

I would like to add one more point to my earlier answer. Same vendor can be in multiple accounts with the help of partner function. But Every individual partner is a vendor by them self. So it cannot be considered as different vendor.

What SAP MM is saying if same vendor is used for import and domestic purchases should have different vendor in different acount group. His solution is not correct. SAP standard solution is to use vendor subrange for this purpose.

U can create one vendor for all account groups.

If the vendor is playing in all roles , like , dosmestic . import , ..etc.

u can create different vendor master for same vendor with different account group.

So while doing PO , it will show you the pricing procedure according t othe vendor schema group.

Revert any clarififcation.

Thanks

One vendor cannot be in two account group with same number. But You can change from one account group to another using t.code XK07
