Account Group of Customer representing Ordering Sales Org. in Intercmp Bill

Hello everyone
As a standard process, we are implementing Intercompany Billing cycle.
1) Sales Org 1 orders goods which are shipped by plant of a different company code.
2) Thus in the end when Delivering Plant raises an Intercompany Invoice to the Sales Org1, the Payer on the Invoice is the Customer Number tied to the Sales Org1 in IMG config.
Now my questions is regarding the account group of that customer.
Should that customer be of account group = 0001 (Sold to party) ...or something else ?
Also can customer of account group ICBF be used ?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks
Vin

Hi Vinit
Customer account group = 0001 (Sold to party) only we have to extend the inter company customer to ordering company sales area and we have to assign this inter company customer to ordering sales organization
I hope itu2019s helpful to you.

Invoice Layout configuration for a specific customer within a sales org.

Hi,
I have a situation where the invoice layout need to be configured for one particular customer within a sales org in a different style from rest of the customers.
Could someone let me know how to do it please.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Srikrishhna

By u201Cinvoice layoutu201D, I assume you mean layout of the print output. If so, then
u2022     Set up a new output type as a copy of your standard output type. Assign an access sequence containing customer.
u2022     Add the new type to your active output determination procedure and assign an appropriate requirements routine (if any).
u2022     Assign a layout set (smartform, sapscript, adobe, etc.) that meets your customeru2019s requirements.
u2022     Maintain the condition record.
And away you go.

What is importance of Account group in customer code create?

Dear Experts,
whlie creating customer code we have difference types of Account group , what is the importance ? what is mean by bill- to party , sold-to party . i am very new to SD please guide me
regards
rajakarthik.

Hi Raja
First, try to understand "Customer".
"Customer" is actually one type of Business Partner.
If you will tell simply "Customer", then it does not make a complete sense to me, as in business, I will be interested to know, which "Customer" you are talking about.
Beacuse, there are four types of Customer. The Customer Partner type is categorised as per the function performed by them.
The Customer, who places order is called -- SP (Sold-to-party),
the Customer who receives the goods is called -
SH (Ship-to-party),
who receives the Bill is called -- BP (Bill-to-party) and
who makes the payment is called --- PY (Payer).
SP, SH, BP and PY are called "Partner Function" (i.e. Function performed by the Partner "Customer").
If you will take the example of a small business, you will find, the same person is placing the order, receiving the goods, receiving the bill and making the payment also. That means, he is performing the role for all the functions SP,SH,BP and PY.
But, if you will go for a big Corporate, you may find all four may be different. For example, Delhi office is the SP, Mumbai office is SH, Kolkata office is PY & Chennai office is BP.
All the 4 Partner functions are mandatory in a sales process, they may be performed by one partner or by four different partners.
As all the above Partner Functions are mandatory, they need to exist in the system as a Customer. A customer exist only when a master data is created for him.
ACCOUNT GROUP
You must have seen ,when Billing document is saved, there is posting takes place in Accounting.
A Debit posting to Customer account and credit posting to Revenue account. It indicates that, Customer is also considered as an "Account" in FI.
So, a group of Account (customer) behaving in a similar manner are one "ACCOUNT GROUP". Those different Account Groups are normally created in FI. There are various Account groups like 0001(Sold-to-party), 0002(Ship-to-party) etc, and you can create your own also.
When you create a Customer, system needs to know, what type of Customer (Account) you are going to create. System gets this information through "Account Group". If you want to create a Customer who will work as a Payer, then you need to choose the Account Group "Payer" and not '0002- Ship-to-party".
A "Payer" needs the billing and Payment related information, he does not require Shipping related information. Hence, the Shipping tab is not found totally in the customer master of a "Payer". Similarly, those fields which are not required for a particular type of customer, they are suppresed (made invisible).
Which fields will be mandatory, optional, suppressed & display purpose only, are decided/ controlled by the Account group and this is what we call "Field selection" which is controlled by Account group (one controlfunction of Account Group).
Similarly, when we save a Customer master, the customer number (either internal or external) comes from the "Number range" which has been assigned to the Account group. There are few other functions which are also controlled by the Account group like whether "One-time customer" default output etc.
That means without specifying an "Account Group", you can not create a Customer as now you know, Account group controls the Customer master data.
Hope, this explanation will create your doubts in a simpla manner.

Restrict SaTy for 1 Customer in a Sales Org

Hello,
I have a scenario where a specific sales document type is to be restricted for 1 customer. All other customers for the particular Sales Org / Dist Channel / Division are to use this sales document type except for this customer, and my user would like a hard stop to be enforced (i.e. stop message) when attempting to enter an order in this specific sales document type for this customer. If a different sales document type is specified prior to sales order entry, the order should be created for the customer.
Is there any master data or standard configuration that could allow this scenario to work?

hi andy;
you have three options here:
1. create a Z table for the same the same with fields SALES ORGN/DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL/DIVISION/CUSTOMER NUMBER & SALES DOCUMENT TYPE which you want to restrict - this re usable any number of times because you will maintain in MAINTAINCE view inside Z table.
2. HARD CODE these SALES ORGN/DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL/DIVISION/CUSTOMER NUMBER & SALES DOCUMENT TYPE which you want to restrict & this is permanent setup but when ever you want to change it you need to go to the program MV45AFZZ : USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE will trigger to throw an E - ERROR message.
functionally :
3. block the customer with respect to the sales area in Go To T-code XD02-->
Extras-->bloc the customer or you can use XD05 for the same. but here blocing will not happen basing on the sales document.
please choose for which one you want to go with.
hope this clears this issue

Getlist bapi for customer based on sales org, distbtn chnl

Hi,
Is there any standard BAPI for customer Getlist , i want to filter based on distribution chanel and sales org and divison.
Now am using BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST its showing all customer list i want to filter this based on distribution chanel and sales org and divison.
Thanks ,
Arun

Hi Siva : )
In VK11 we have a key combination radio button called Country/ Destination Ctr./Plant/TaxClCust/TaxClMat.
I think it might be a custom key combination (so you might have to create a siliar one for yourself), but basically all I had to enter there was Country = GB, Destination Coutry = GB, plant SORG1 (it's called the same as the sales org and is linked 1-1), tax classification on Customer = 2 (because I want the central setting on the customer to be 2 = ICO, no tax), tax classification on material 1 = full tax goods and enter relevat tax code.
Hope this helps.
It worked for me.
Kind regards,
Tanja

Requirement: Customer account Group wise Sale area Allowed

HI
My client Requirement is Based on the account group system will allow few sales areas at the time of creating the Customer master
Is it possible in SAP if Yes please guide what are settings required
if No how to achieve this requirement
Regards,
Prasanna

Hi
As of my understanding we use account group for:
1. Controlling Number Range
2. Controlling fields (Display, Hide , Mandatory)
3. Partner Functions.
Now to control the Account Group for Sales Area might not be possible (Please do check at your end).
Here is a suggestion , if the master's are created by different user's try controlling it through Authorizations.
And , use the number range as a criteria to identify the as like, Domestic customer no range 110001--1199999
Export customer no range 220001--2299999.
And also you can use the sale office and sale group from the Authorization control point of view , reporting point of view.

Automatic account postings (for Intercompany Purchase order and Sales order

Hi all,
I need some help related to the automatic account postings (for Intercompany Purchase order and Sales order)which i can set for the follwoing scenarios. I have looked on the forms and searched alot but not able to a single solution to solve both the pupose. if one scenario works the other doesnt. Please advise.
I have created the master data
Customer receiving--G001
Sales Org.--GXIN
Distr. Channel- 01
Division - 00
Company code receiving - G1
customer supplying- V001
company code for supplying- V1
2 different scenarios
1- Intercompany Purchase order in which a Customer receiving- G001, gets stock replenishment NB purchase order from supplying company V1- GI and GR of stock is done. Biling document for customer receiving G001 is created. But now I need a way to do the opposite side posting at the supplying customer -V001-- this I do using an Idoc which creates a Invoice receipt for creditor(supplying customer) V001.
2. Sales order-- A customer X001 of company code G1 buys stock from the company code V1. the customer G001 of company code G1 bills the customer X001, but the intercompany billing doc/ invoice is created for the customer G001 by company code V1. then now i want an automatic account posting to be created at the supplying customer V001 via idoc.
Can this be achivable via Idoc with automatic account postings.
Please let me know if it doesnt make sense. thanks to all in advance
cheers
Jasmeet

Hi all,
For the Sales order and automatic posting we have created an output type ZR4N- this is creating a batch input session which can be triggered to be processed autmatically.
For the intercompany Purchase order -from Invoice we are creating a different output RD04 (sap standard) which creates invoice receipt at the vendor side.
Rest of the settings are defined using SAP standard functionality within transaction OBCA, OBCB, OBCC, OBCD,OBCE
thanks for viwing the post
Cheers

Account group in the customer master record.

Hi .
Why we have to use the ACCOUT GROUP For customer.
Account group differs for sold to party, ship to party, bill to party and payer.
but when we create a sales order if we enter the sold to party automatically the ship ,bill and payer will be taken by the system.
can any one give me the sufficient solution for this.
thanks
Devi Reddy

Hi,
For customer creation ACCOUNT GROUP plays a vital role.
Based on this Account Group only, concerned Fields will be activated. Thats why, when we create a Sold to pary it will ask for much information in all the tabs, where as, for ship to, bill to and payer all these fields are not required.
using the path : IMG -> Logistics General -> Business Partners -> Customer -> Control -> Define Transaction Dependent Screen Layout -> double click on Create Customer (sales)
here you can activate or make mandatory or optional all the fileds which are available in different tabs of the customer master.
And This you can do based on account groups also
Goto T.Code OBD2, select the account group (say 0001 sold to) and you can activate make which are all the fileds required for that customer. Like this you can do for all the account groups, so whenever u create the customer master based on that account group only those fileds will be asked by system.
For sold to party, we require all the info like sales, shipment, billing and parnter funtion. But for ship to you need only shiping data, for bill to you need only billing data, for payer you need billing also. for all these general data is required.
And where as for your second query, when you create a sales order automatically ship to, payer , bill to will come automatically based on what you maintaine in the sold to customer master. By default when you create a sold to, partner functions will be taken as the same for ship to, bill to , payer. Then you have to create different customers using account groups shipto, bill to and payer and those customer numbers you maintain in the sold to customer master -> Sales Area data -> partner functions.
Then whenever you create the sales order, differnt customer will be picked based on that data.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

Delta replication of Sales Org, Sales Off and Sales Group (ECC to CRM)

HI All,
I am struck with the delta of the Sales Area.
Sales org with 6 Sales Offices and 6 Sales Group were created in the ERP and all this were replicated in to CRM in Initial but now my client wants to add 3 more sales offices with 3 Sales Groups.
Sales Offices and sales group were maintained in the ERP system and i have created the Sales Offices in CRM but the problem is those sales offices and Sales groups were not reflecting in CRM.
Newly added Sales Offices and Sales Groups were not replicated in CRM?
I was trying to assign the ERP Sales Org,Offices, Sales Group with CRM Sales Org, Office, Sales Group in "Assign SAP CRM Sales Org. to SAP ECC Sales Org.""Assign SAP CRM Sales Offices to SAP ECC Sales Offices" , "Assign SAP CRM Sales Group to SAP ECC Sales Group" but i can not view the ERP Sales groups.
So what should i do inorder to replicate the newly added Sales off. and Sales Groups in CRM which were created in ERP?
Thanks and Regards,
Arun

Hello Arun,
You have already created 3 Sales Offices & 3 Sales Group in SAP ECC Enterprise Strurcture.Now you require these new sales offices & sales groups into CRM System.
For that you use Transaction CRMC_R3_ORG_GENERATE. Here in this transaction you can see your newly created sales offices & sales groups. You have to select these rows & click on "Generate Selected Lines".
Once you have done with this you can see new rows added with New Organization units for each unique sales Office & sales groups.After this dont forget to SAVE.
Now You can assign the ERP Sales Offices & Sales Groups to CRM Sales Office & CRM Sales Group.
Best Regards,
Rajendra

Problem in customer creation for sales area

Hi all,
I could not create a customer for given Sales Org , DC and Division...
SAP Throwing error as "above mentioned sales area is not defined for the customer...
Karthick

Karthick V ,
When you create a Customer either in XD01 or VD01 Care should be taken while entering the "sales area" and the "customer" (Domestic customer or Export Customer or one time customer) again within this there is no. ranges which will be classified either Internal or External.
So care should be taken when you create a customer.
1. Check In IMG --> Enterprise structure -->Assignement --> SD --> Set up sales Area, whether you have created sales area (Check other assignements too. within Sales and Distribution). Generally check your Assignment sequence with reference to SD Process.
2. Check in OBD2 What Account groups have been used (you maintain different account groups this where you classify customer)
3. Check Assign no ranges to customer Account Groups
4. Check whether you have maintained common Distribution Channels and Common Divisions.

Pricing Date & Account Group

Hi
what is Exact use for Pricing Date in Condition Type?
Why does account group control customer?
regards
[email protected]

Dear Mohammed
a) Pricing Date
The pricing date is the date defined by date-dependent pricing elements such as conditions and the foreign currency rate.
Enter the identification code for the date to which a condition of this type is to be calculated in the sales document. If you do not enter an identification code, the pricing date or the date of services rendered is used.
For example, It is a good idea to use the goods issue date as the calculation date for freight surcharges. In this case, you enter 'A' as the identification code
b) Account Group
May be it would be appropriate if you asked "how", instead of "why".
The master records in the customer hierarchy are controlled by their account groups. You can use the same account groups for customer hierarchies as those used for partner determination in sales and distribution.
An important requirement for proper sales order processing is that each customer can only include those functions relevant for him in a document. You can achieve this by assigning permitted partner functions to an account group.
Thanks

Want to change ACCOUNT GROUP to BP from CRM to ECC

Hi All,
We would like to change the Account group of our (Inside/Outside sales persons) when they are replicating from CRM to ECC. We did change the PIDE setting according to our requirement but surprisingly 10-12 BPs are not getting changed. We opened an OSS and they suggested to write a Z function module and
registering it in the table CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU for the CRM OUTBOUND which HARDCODES the CLASSIFICATION DATA to the BP in accordance with the PIDE settings so as to get the ACCOUNT GROUP for these BPs.
I checkede the tcode CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU for the CRM OUTBOUND where we need to place our own FM. I know to write a FM, but not quite sure how to start. Can anyone out there please help me with this.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karuna.

I was able to change the account status from EXPIRE(GRACE) to OPEN. The trick as you hint at is to create a temporary profile, assign that profile to the account in question, saving the password from dba_users first, changing the password, logging in with the new password, then alter the user assigning back the original password with the identified by values clause in the later user statement and lastly assigning the original profile, either DEFAULT or custom.
Here is the temp profile I used which used values less than 1 for the critical limits involved here. Cannot have limit values less than 1 in 9i according to Oracle but you can in 10g.
CREATE PROFILE "TEMP_PROFILE" LIMIT CPU_PER_SESSION DEFAULT
CPU_PER_CALL DEFAULT
CONNECT_TIME DEFAULT
IDLE_TIME 15
SESSIONS_PER_USER DEFAULT
LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION DEFAULT
LOGICAL_READS_PER_CALL DEFAULT
PRIVATE_SGA DEFAULT
COMPOSITE_LIMIT DEFAULT
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME .0001
PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 5
PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX 1
PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME .0001
PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME .0103
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 3
PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION DEFAULT;
Thanks for your help.
