What does the Vendor Master Data Controller use to manually create vendor master records for individuals not registered in SAM?

The Vendor Master Data Controller uses transaction code XK01 to manually create vendor master records for individuals not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). XK01 is part of the SAP system, specifically designed for creating vendor master records. This transaction code allows the user to input various details about the vendor, such as name, address, and payment information, ensuring that all necessary information is available for processing transactions related to that vendor.

The other options listed pertain to different functions or modules within the SAP system. For instance, ZK01 may refer to a custom or alternative transaction not typically used for vendor creation, Z002 and Z005 could also refer to custom processes or unrelated transactions. Therefore, XK01 is the appropriate and standard transaction code for vendors not already registered in the SAM system, highlighting its significance in managing vendor data effectively.
