<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>You could take a look at the SAP
delivered workflow WS20000001 – for MM Vendor. It looks as though you would
have to do some config to block the vendors when they are created, but
hopefully this gives you a place to start.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to apologize in advance if my question is very basic. However, I'm not

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We have
several users that have the ability to create vendors (in Finance and
Purchasing). They have the ability to execute XK01 in order to do
this. We chose not to limit these areas to specific t-codes for Finance
and Purchasing. Now, with some new players, certain fields are not
getting populated or not getting populated correctly. One
suggestion was to generate warning messages before saving the
vendor. I have learned that messages are normally ignored unless it is a
hard error. I would prefer to use some sort of workflow that when the
vendor is created, it must be approved first. I know there is an area in
the IMG for confirmations but that relates to vendor changes, not creation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
