Vendor Creation Workflow

[Stephens, Monique S L]

I would like to apologize in advance if my question is very basic.  However, I'm not completely familiar with all that SAP has to offer in regards to workflow.  Our technical analyst is more familiar with this aspect.

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.

Is there a workflow out there so that when a vendor is created, it would route to a group of people for validation?  We are on ECC 6.0.

Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
