Procedure documentation Displaying a Vendor Master Record  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Both the accounting and purchasing departments can have access to a vendor master record. You can display either the general and company code data (the accounting data) or the entire vendor master record (with purchasing data). Personnel in the purchasing department can display the data about purchasing, invoice verification, and inventory control for a vendor.

This topic describes how you display a vendor master record either centrally or for accounting. You can find further information on the purchasing functions in the MM Materials Management documentation.

Display a Vendor Master Record Centrally

If you have purchased, installed, and configured the MM Materials Management application component, you can display a master record centrally as follows:

  1. From the Accounts Payable menu, choose Master records ® Maintain centrally ® Display.

    2. The system displays the initial screen for displaying master data, Display Vendor: Initial screen.

  2. Enter the account number, the company code and the purchasing organization.

    3. Depending on the data you want to display, you can omit the company code or the purchasing organization.

    A vendor master record spans several screens. If you want to see particular data only, you can select the screens you want to see in the initial screen. The system then shows you the corresponding screens only.

  3. Select the screens you wish to display.
  4. Select ENTER .

    5. The vendor master record is displayed.

  5. To leave the display, choose Vendor ® Exit.

You return to the area menu.

  1. Choose Master records ® Display.

    2. The system displays the initial screen for entering a vendor master record.

  2. Enter the vendor account number and the company code.

    3. A vendor master record spans several screens. To display particular data only, select the screens in the initial screen. The system then displays the corresponding screens only.

  3. Select one or more screens to display by clicking in the field before the name of the screen.
  4. Select ENTER to reach the next screen.

    5. The system displays the next screen that you have selected in the vendor master record.
