Can we create P.O.for multiple vendors? How can we create it?..

Answer / ashik

Yes, Multiple Vendors can be used in single PO and it depends on Line Items. Simply,

Go to tcode XK01 and select the 'Purchasing Organisation Data'.
It comprises of Purchasing Data and Partner Functions.

Press Enter. Under the Tab ' Partner Functions' maintain respective Vendor Codes for
VN: Vendor
PI: Invoicing Party
TD: Trader
GS: Goods Supplier

But, to use this 'partner functions' functionality there is abit of customization to be done as per business needs as discussed below.

You can have multiple invoicing partner function in the PO for that you need to have these multiple invoicing partner function in vendor master. Since partner functions are called from vendor master.

To have it in vendor master you need to define them in customization and assign them to account group to which the vendor belongs to.

Go to MM - Purchasing - Partner Determination - Partner Roles - Define Partner Roles - Here you define the Z partner function copying the standard invoicing party partner function and naming convention use that is allowed in the naming space.

You will get the message if you try to use different two digit character to use from allowed name space.

Once you create Z invoicing party partner function assign them in account group to which your vendor belongs to in Define Permissible Partner Roles per Account Group.

Once you assign them to account group, go to vendor master in change mode and maintain these Z partner functions for invoicing party.

Once you have it in vendor master, in PO you have option to maintain multiple invoicing party partner functions.
