Question:
We have set up all carriers (=Transportation Service Providers or TSPs)
in R/3 with the (Vendor) account group "0001", therefore they are
showing up in APO as Location Type “1011” which is a “normal” vendor.
In R/3 we distinguish between vendors and carriers by the purchasing
org. We assign carriers to purchasing org 0055.
The standard setting to transport carriers from R/3 to APO –
specifically TP/VS – is done with the help of account group 0005 so
that in APO the Location Type "1020" (=TSP) can be assigned.
Is there a way to keep all the settings on R/3 side and use a
program/the CIF to convert the carriers on R/3 side to TSPs in APO? We are trying to avoid having to change all of our carriers in R/3 to account group 0005. This is a big deal.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Chip
Answer:
To make a distinction for a specific vendor account group, an entry must be made in the table CIFVENTYPE (using transaction SM30).
