How to Create Vendor Master data in SAP ECC, using T code: FK01 (FI – Company code level).

In SAP ECC, the Vendor Master is a central repository of data that stores all necessary information about vendors (suppliers) who provide goods or services to the organization. It plays a crucial role in procurement and accounting processes by ensuring that vendor-related transactions are consistent and controlled. This blog provides a step-by-step guide to creating a Vendor Master in SAP ECC.

Note: In SAP S/4HANA, this process has been replaced by the Business Partner (BP) approach, which integrates customer and vendor master data into a single unified framework.
