Vendor Master Data Structures

The following transactions are processed using the same batch input program, RFBIDE00, and you therefore transfer them together in one file under a session header record:

With the create and change transactions, transferred block fields or deletion flags are also processed. The system then goes to the additional screens provided for this.

The following table provides an overview of the structures and record types available for vendor master data.

The structure BLFBK must be transferred for each set of bank details to be processed.

If you want to delete existing bank details, you must select the field BLFBK-XDELE .

If the bank master data for a set of bank details is new, then you can also transfer the data for this bank into the BLFBK structure. The new bank master data is then created when you process the session.

In the bank detail tables LFBK, you can only change the BANKS (bank country key), BANKL (bank key), and BANKN (bank account number) key fields by creating the new bank details and deleting the old ones.

To process vendor sub-ranges, partner functions, supply regions, purchasing data, or customs tariff preferences, the corresponding BWYT1, BWYT3, BLFR, BLFM1 or BLFM2, and BLFEI structures must be transferred. If you want to delete a record, you must select the XDELE field in the appropriate structure. If you select the BWYT3-XDEKO field, you delete all the partner functions for a data retention level.

For vendor master data, you have two options for processing withholding tax . Transfer:

If you want to delete an existing withholding tax type , select either field BLFB1-XDELE or BLFBW-XDELE , depending on the category of withholding tax.

You can transfer the alternative payees to structure BLFZA as either company code-specific or cross-company code. If you enter either SPACE or the NODATA character in the field BLFZA-BUKRS , an alternative payee is defined as cross-company code. If you select the field BLFZA-XDELE , the alternative payee is deleted.

For Retail Users:

For contact persons , you do not have to enter a partner number (internal number assignment). If however you do enter a number, this number may not have already been assigned to a different contact partner otherwise the program will terminate. If you select the field BKNVK-XDELE , the contact person is deleted.
