Accounting Posting Problem related to Customers

Question

We have a custom program that creates customers using function module SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL. The program runs without error and returns a customer number for the new customer as expected.
When we create a contract using that customer, there is no problem. However, when we attempt to invoice the contract, accounting is not posted. We need to first open the customer using XD02 and then save the customer again -- no changes are involved -- and then we are able to invoice the contract.
I attempted to try to find out if perhaps a field were missing or not but was unable to find the difference between a customer that is created from the program and then a customer that has been re-saved. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated and points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The problem was that in our customer creation program, we assign a default reconciliation account. Originally, the leading zeros for the account were not included. This does not result in any errors when using SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL. However, by opening up and then saving the customer, the leading zeros are automatically entered.
I didn't think about this earlier but what we did was opened it and then saved it, then checked the change log to identify the problem field (Environment -> Changes).
Thanks.
