48 CHAPTER 1 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
95. What are segments in the vendor master?
A vendor master contains three segments, which control different fields for a vendor.
These are:
■ General data segment: This segment holds a common set of data applicable
for all company code.
■ Company code segment: These are company code specific data that can’t be
shared with other company code.
■ Purchase organization segment: Like company code data, this segment contains
specific purchase organization data.
96. If a document type is configured for a vendor, can you use that document
type in the line item posting key meant for a customer?
With T-code OBA7 you are defining the document type. While configuring the document
type, you are defining the type of account to which it will post. If the document type is
defined only for vendors and you are using it for a customer, the system will not allow
us to post to the customer. Hence, the document can’t be posted for a customer.
97. What do you test in an automatic payment program? How is it done and
what type of errors are you likely to get?
Use T-code F110 to test the payment program.
1. Enter data in the Parameters tab.
2. Save.
3. Edit the proposal and press Enter . The proposal will be completed.
4. Display the proposal.
5. Any errors will show under Exceptions.
If there is an exception, check the logs that the system displays to see what you
have not done. If everything is correct, the system will show an amount in place
of Exceptions.
Then you need to run the payment.
Remember that you can edit or delete the proposal before the payment is run.
