Account Group and Vendor

I created account group and assgn number and tried to creat Vendor, but system is asking for partner number.
thanks

Hi Shahid
The problem you are encountering could be for teh fact that the number range assigned to the account group is external and hence the system is prompting to assign a partner number
The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records
The account group determines:
o the number interval for the account number of the vendor,
o whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,

Vendor/Customer Account Group and Master Records

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me during implementation Vendor/Customer account groups and Master Records will be prepared by FI Consultants or MM, SD Consultants?
Waiting for reply
ThankYOu

Dear Verma
It is the usual practice that FI consultants should prepare Account group and also maintain General data and Company code date in Vendor/Customer masters. SD and MM consultants are informed by FI to maintain Sales and Purchase organization respectively by SD and MM consultants.
If this helps please reward with points.

for example:
R1 Customers paying by bank collection

R6 Major customers
R7 Rental income
R8 Repayment of loans
E1 Domestic vendors

Change account groups in vendor/ customer master data

Hi,
Do you think is possible to change account groups in vendor/ customer master data?
Thanks

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
Changing the account groups will redetermine the Reconciliation account, which will be creating a chaos during Audit Reconciliation. But if there is a requirement, please go through the following link

Account group and Account Type.

Hi all,
Could you please tell me the diferences between GL Account group (by example cash, expense, revenue ....) which we define in IMG - Financial Accounting - General Ledger Accounting - G/L Accounts - Master Records - Preparations - Define Account Group and Account Type (by example: Vendor, Customer, Material, GL Account) which is in the screen "create account type" IMG - Financial Accounting - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Document - Document Header - Define Document Types ?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Account Group Controls the Master records. It controls the number range of Master record and Field status group (Supress, Required, Optional and Display) also. SAP follows a Grouping principle all throughout SAP to handle the Master Records that may be in GL, AR AP any thing. See to create a GL Account group you define at OBD4 there itself you assign the Number Range or those groups which also controls Field Staus of GL Master Records. And for Creating AR and AP Master Records you create at OBD2 and Vendor at OBD3 which will also controls Field Status Group of And Number range of Master record. The only difference between GL and AR/AP is assigning of number range. For GL will specify at OBD4 itself but for AR/AP we need to create a number range at FBN1 then assign to AR And AP at OBD2 and OBD3 respectively.
One more thing. Remember only Field Status group of Master recard (OBD2, OBD3, OBD4) only contain Display option but not to Posting Key or Field Satus Group (OB41 or OBC4). I am so specifing becoz I commited this mistake in one interview.
In summary, the account group controls:
i) The number ranges of the accounts,
ii) The status of the fields in the company code segment of the master record. Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can be bundled into different "account groups ". Usually one account group bundles
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, e. g. cash accounts, material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss
accounts,...

Difference in P.account groups and Payer

what is the difference between Payer account groups and a payer?
Plz explain.
Thanks

A Payer is the individual or company who settles the invoices foa a service or for delivered goods.
Whereas the account group determines:
Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data
Whether you can or must make an entry in these fields
How master record numbers are assigned (externally by you or internally by the system) and the number range from which they are assigned
Which partner functions are valid
Whether the business partner is a one-time customer or one-time vendor.
Reward if useful.

Re: change account group for vendor

hi expert,
i done the same which you mention in earlier form. i manage to change the account group for vendor master.
now there is an another thing came out that is for normal vendor i able to change the account group but there is another vendor which is one time vendor means for vendor i am going to from normal vendor account group to one time account selected account group so in this case when i am changing the group in xk07 the system is saying a following message.
new account group xxx is one-time group: change not permitted.
message no.F2692
so if anybody face the same problem give me your inputs.
thanks in advance,
kk.

Hi KK,
For normal vendors, you cannot change the account group to 'One time vendor' group. The one time vendor group will have most of its felds suppressed in the master data. You have to enter the Name, address etc. only at the time of invoice posting.
But your normal vendor will have the name and address details in the master data itself. So, there will be inconsistency in the field status of the normal vendor account and the one time vendor account.
Hence, the system may not allow you to change the vendor group.
Regards,
Mike

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.

The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.

Relationship between "Account Group" and "GL Acct. number".

I need to create a report that lists the GL Account numbers according to selection screen parameter "Account Group" .
Hi i need to find a way\(tables and fields) between the "Account Group" and
the "GL Account number".
to view "Account Group" go to transaction "kdh3".
to view GL account number go to transaction FS00.
the GL account numbers and cost centers are identified by the same number.

Hi guys, thanks for helping
Max, i tried that field, but it provides a different set of data compared to the account groups i get using the "F4" on KDH3
Chandrasekhar, i had a look at the view, but it also does not contain the same account groups as found in KDH3.
I have been stuck on this for a while.
thanks again

Questions: Vendor Account Group and Purchasing Organization

Dear SAP experts,
I'm just a novice user and would like to have your advice on the following questions:
1. How to change Vendor Account Group
Vendor has been created already with wrong account group. Can we change account group??
2. How to add Purchasing Organization
Vendors have been created without purchasing organization. When we try to raise contract, error msg. mentioned that "There is no purchasing organization for this vendor number"
Can we add purchasing organization to that vendors?? If so, could you pls let me know the procedure.
Thanks with rgds,
Su

Hello,
Changing Vendor Account Group is not possible. Block the wrongly created vendor (FK05) & create a new vendor under correct group (FK01). Transfer all the balances from wrong vendor to new vendor code.
Use Transaction code XK01 to extend the Vendor to purchasing organization. XK01 would allow to enter purchasing view of the vendor.

Vendor Account group and recon account

Hi,
I have 2 vendor account groups:
1) ZLOC- For domestic vendors
2) ZIMP- For Import Vendors.
My requirement is when I am creating the vendor master, the recon account meant for local vendors should automatically get selected and for import vendors recon meant for import vendor should be selected.
this is required to avoid entry errors by users. currently they are selecting by drop down and made mistakes.
Regards

Hi,
In std SAP, I don't think it is possible.
We have to maintain it manually.
It's not a day to day activity so very few chances of mistake by user.
