1 MASTER DATA
1.1 Create Vendor Master Record
Business Process Description Overview
All vendor data is stored in the vendor master record and controls how transaction data is
posted to a vendor.
Vendor master data is used not only by the accounting department but also by the
purchasing/materials management department. When setting up your master records, you
have the option to create the accounting and materials management sections separately,
each in its own application area, or together by creating the vendor master centrally.
Creating/storing vendor master records centrally permits common access and requires
data entry only once avoiding contradictory/redundant data. If a vendor's address has
changed, for example, you need to enter the change only once, and both the accounting
department and the purchasing department will have access to the most current data.
A vendor master record includes data such as:

vendor name, address, language, and phone numbers

Tax numbers

Bank data

Account control data, such as the G/L reconciliation account for the vendor account

payment methods and terms of payment as agreed with the vendor

purchasing data
This process describes creating the accounting section of the vendor master record.

1.3 Block Master Record


Need to block this vendor from posting.
Business Process Description Overview
You can block a vendor from posting, from order processing or from both. Blocking (and
unblocking) can be set in either Financial Accounting or Materials Management.
Within Accounts Payable, you can block a vendor account for posting. (See BPP Block
Vendor (Accounting)). You have to block a vendor master record before you can mark it for
deletion. You would also block a vendor that you use only as an alternative payment
recipient, so that nobody can post to it by mistake. Only block an account if there are no
more open items in the account. If an account is blocked, you cannot clear any open items
in it.
Within Purchasing, you can block a vendor from order processing. (See BPP Block Vendor
(Purchasing)).
You can block a vendor from both posting and order processing simultaneously from either
Accounts Payable or Purchasing (See BPP Block Vendor (Centrally)).
You can cancel a vendor account block at any time. To do this, simply remove the
relevant indicator.

2 TRANSACTIONS
2.1 Down Payments
Down payment to be made to a vendor.
Business Process Description Overview
You can post a vendor down payment whether or not you have previously created a down
payment request. Creating a down payment request is an optional step and is simply a
noted credit entry against the vendor (not included as a financial posting) that is covered in
another BPP. Note that when the vendor invoice is eventually posted you should use the
Clear Vendor Down Payment transaction (f-54) to ensure that the invoice credit will offset
the proper down payment debit and the result will be cleared without the risk of double
payment.
To post a down payment made in cases where a down payment request has been issued,
you select the down payment request when you post the down payment. The system then
only needs the data in the initial screen to make the posting. These include the vendor's
account number, the bank account number, and the special G/L indicator. The system takes
all other data, such as amount or tax code, from the down payment request. If you need to
make any further specifications, the system offers you the down payment line item, after
you have selected the post function, so that you can make any necessary corrections.
To post a down payment made without reference to a down payment request, you post the
down payment directly. You supply all the necessary data including the vendor's account
number, the bank account number, the special G/L indicator, and the amount.

2.2 Vendor Invoice Posting


Business Process Description Overview
Every document consists of a document header and two or more line items. The document
header contains information that is valid for the whole document, such as the document
date and the document number. It also includes controlling information such as the
document type.
The line items only contain information on the particular item in question, for instance an
account number and amount. Whether any additional information is present depends on
the business transaction involved.
Following are the most critical steps involved in entering and posting a document:
Call up the required document entry function. Bear in mind that the system offers several
functions. Each function is designed for a specific business transaction. The General Ledger
document entry function is covered here which will post one or more debits vs one or more
credits to general ledger master records (accounts).
Enter the document header data.
Enter the line items.
Enhance or correct the line items as needed.
Post the document.
The system creates the document, updates the transaction figures for the accounts affected,
and in some cases, displays an internally assigned document number when the document is
posted.

2.4 Vendor credit Memo posting


Business Process Description Overview
Every document consists of a document header and two or more line items. The document
header contains information that is valid for the whole document, such as the document date
and the document number. It also includes controlling information such as the document
type.
The line items only contain information on the particular item in question, for instance an
account number and amount. Whether any additional information is present depends on the
business transaction involved.
Following are the most critical steps involved in entering and posting a document:
Call up the required document entry function. Bear in mind that the system offers several
functions. Each function is designed for a specific business transaction. The General Ledger
document entry function is covered here which will post one or more debits vs one or more
credits to general ledger master records (accounts).
Enter the document header data.
Enter the line items.
Enhance or correct the line items as needed.
Post the document.
The system creates the document, updates the transaction figures for the accounts affected,
and in some cases, displays an internally assigned document number when the document is
posted.

Page 47 of 54

Project: Eimskip Group SAP R/3 Implementation

1.3.1. To Display the open items for processing, double-click on the line item. Use the green
arrow to go back to the process open items screen.
Process the open items by choosing and then activating the necessary open items. To Select
an open item, place the cursor on the line item and click the Select item icon.
Note: Processing is the last step before posting a clearing document. The system takes
tolerances, which are acceptable payment differences, into account when posting clearing
documents. Depending on your system configuration, the system posts small differences
between debits and credits to an account for underpayment or overpayment. Your system
administrator defines the limit of acceptable underpayment or overpayment. See Payment
Differences for more details. In general, you should try to choose and process open items so
that the debits equal the credits.
When the line item(s) you enter and the open item(s) you process have debits equal to
credits, you can post a clearing document. For example, if you enter a vendor payment for
Rs.1000, you must choose and process vendor open items that equal Rs.1000. If your system
has a 1% tolerance, then you can clear open items with a value from Rs.990 to Rs.1010.
In processing open items, you can:
Activate or deactivate an open item
Activate or deactivate cash discount

Page 48 of 54

Project: Eimskip Group SAP R/3 Implementation

Maintain cash discount amounts


Enter partial payments or residual items
Once the debits equal the credits, choose Account Clear. The system assigns the clearing date
and clearing document number to each open item cleared.
Note:
The Not Assigned amount shows the difference between the amount to be cleared and the net
total of the active open items selected for clearing so far.
