Documentation

Definition

Specifies an alphanumeric key that uniquely identifies the vendor in the SAP system.

Use

In the invoice verifcation (transaction MIRO) of a central Financials system, you can enter an incoming invoice with reference to a purchase order number.

In a distributed system landscape consisting of multiple logistics systems and one central financials system, the central financials system contains purchase order numbers from different external logistics systems. Since the logistics systems issue purchase order numbers independently of one another, the purchase order numbers are not always unique.

If you enter a value in this field, the selected purchase orders can be filtered by the vendor number. Only purchase orders that contain this vendor number are selected.

Dependencies

Example

In logistics system A, a purchase order is created with purchase order number 4711 for vendor VEND1. By coincidence, a purchase order for vendor VEND2 with the same purchase order number is created in logistics system B.

If the user enters purchase order number 4711 in invoice verification, two purchase orders are selected as follows:

  • 4711 from system A
  • 4711 from system B

If the user additonally filters by vendor number VEND2, only purchase order 4711 from system B is selected.
