Vendor Creation Workflow

Thu Apr 1 15:46:23 EDT 2010

Hi Monique,

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.

Cheers,
Sue

Subject: Vendor Creation Workflow

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.
