Creating Vendor Operation Documents 
Creating Vendor Operation Documents
Use
You use the Vendor Operation report to monitor and create documents for the vendor operation procedure. The report takes an existing invoice and uses it to create a new one for the original amount plus the fees for the vendor operation procedure – in much the same way as the bill of exchange procedure. The items in the new invoice are assigned a special G/L indicator of their own and the system blocks the original invoice for payment.
The report enables you to determine which bank offers the lowest interest rates and stores this information in the vendor operation document for use later on during payment runs. Alternatively, you can select the bank yourself.
Prerequisites
The report accesses the
customer's master data as well as Customizing settings, so be sure you have maintained both of these.Procedure
To access the Vendor Operation report, from the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable ® Reporting ® Brazil ® Vendor Operation.
Selection
Make the following required entries:
If you create a special G/L indicator other than I (as described under the Customizing settings), then you must enter it in include RFBRVEND as constant SPLIND.
Whatever value you enter here, you must also enter it as the first two digits of the partner bank type in the customer master record. The field's default value is VN.
You can restrict your selection with the following optional criteria related to the invoices:
If you create a payment method other than V (as described under the Customizing settings), then you must enter it in the include RFBRVEND as constant PAYMETH.
Lastly, you can control the list display with the following criteria:
Output
The system displays a list of each vendor's open items that have not yet been included in the vendor operation procedure. If you have set the Status display indicator, the list also shows the items that have already been dealt with. If any errors occur while the list is being generated, the fields are highlighted in red. To find out what caused the errors, choose Error list.
From the output screen, you have the following options:
