Blocking a Vendor Account in SAP

In accounts Payable ,We can block vendor account in three ways

• Blocking a Vendor Account Centrally
• Blocking a vendor Account for Posting
• Blocking a Vendor Account for payments

In SAP, we can block a vendor account for posting. Before marking vendor master data for deletion, we have to block the vendor master so that no body can post to it by mistake.


There are several fields  in Vendor block for Master Data available for us. You can set the blocks for

• Posting block for certain company code or all company code
• Purchasing block for certain purchasing org or all purchasing org.
