Mass changes on Vendor line items

Business Scenario– You need to change one or more fields on many invoices, and it will take a long time to do this manually.

SAP provides an option of changing multiple invoices at the same time directly through the vendor line item display transaction.

Enter the transaction code FBl1N to pull up the vendor line items

Enter the criteria for which you need to make a mass change.

E.g., you need to change the payment method for all the 4 series vendors to Z as you created a new payment method which replaces the old payment method for wires.

In this, e.g., I am entering a single vendor

Once you hit execute, it will fetch all the items based on your selection criteria.

Select the invoices that you want to change by checking the box next to the invoices

The scenario is that you want to change the payment method of these invoices

After selecting the invoices click on the Mass change icon.

Enter the new values that you want to change it to

And click on execute changes

The documents will now have the new value that you entered

This is a very helpful feature in SAP as you will need to change values on a mass scale at numerous times.
