Creating Your Own Vendor Master Record 

Usage

We recommend that you create your own vendor master record for this scenario. If, however, you prefer to use the reference vendor instead, it could be that the order currency has already been changed and this IDES scenario may no longer work.

You create a German vendor in company code 1000, IDES AG Germany. This vendor was previously invoiced in DEM. In early 1999, this vendor converted to the euro and now wishes to create purchase orders and invoices denominated in euros.
