Not sure how to explain this but I figure Im not the only one so here goes. Our company sometimes has vendors that sell to an end comapny. It is possible that more than one vendor sells to this same end customer.
So for example, say my company is called Supplier International. we have two vendors. They are ABC Company and XYZ Company. the end company is called Widgets Inc. We will drop ship to the end comapny as a favor to our vendors. Sometimes Widgets Inc buys our product from ABC Company and sometimes they buy from XYZ Company. In either case when the vendor places the order, we will ship to the end company. In VA05 we will enter the vendor as the sold to party and then enter the end company's customer number as the ship to.
I Think KNVP (cant remember at the moment) is the table that has the partners in it. Also I believe this table would have two records in it for the end company with two seperate customer numbers. One for the association with the first vendor and the other with the association with the second one.
the propblem we are having is that sometimes when someone enters an order, when they get the help screen for the ship to, they will type the name of the end company and will usually choose the first one on the list. If the first one on the list isnt the one associated with the correct vendor, this causes us a problem! What I want to do is have the help field not only give them the end company name and such but also the vendor attached to that particular row.
so in my example above, when they went to the help screen for ship to, it would bring up Widgets Inc twice, each with its own customer number and then there would be another column that says Vendor and in that column would be either ABC Company or XYZ Company. Choosing the right one would put the proper customer number in the ship to field and insure that our proper sales person gets the credit.
someone has already created a custom help screen ( I dont have the knowledge for doing this myself just yet but I will figure it out...for example how did they plug that help in to VA05!!?). However their help only uses knvv and kna1 and I dont believe either one of those have a field pointing to a parent vendor. i know Knvp does called kunnr2 or something similar.
Any ideas guys on how I can accomplish my goals? Also if someone can point me to how you plug in this help to an SAP screen that would be great. I saw where there is a help select and view in the dictionary just dont have the details yet on how It intertwines with that screen in VA05.
thank you all for your help!!
