Automatic creation of Company Code and Sales Area Data for Customer Master

Hi,
We have a organisation structure setup with multiple company codes and sales areas.
A customer will be created using VD01 via the Sales Order VA01. Because the customers are created using VD01 we need to automatically extend the customer for the various company codes and sales areas. The data on these views will be populated using reference customers.
Any recommendations on the best approach (technically) to auto extend the customer master would be appreciated.
I'm reluctant to use BDC's because of performance. We are in a Retail environment.
Thanks in advance
Craig

The sample code has been taken from the SAP notes - in which have the affected as outlined in the example.
The codes does not do what my requirements are, which is to identify the next available number in isolation of the BP type.

Custom fields to the sales area tab of customer master data

Hi Guys,
i have one requirement, where i need to add Zfields to the Sales tab in sales area data of customer master. Can somebody give me steps how to do it? do we need to do screen programming or just appending KNVV so that functional consultants can do configuration based on account group?

Thanks in advance
Siva

Hi,
.First in IMG - Enterprice Structure - Definition
Create the Organisational Units you want to use
2.Then In Enterprise structure - assignment
Setup the sales areas you want to use in SD
Then go to XD01/ VD01 and create a new customer to whom you want to sell goods & service thr a particular sales area which you have already set up in IMG.
YOu can create a customer master for only those sales areas which you have created in Step 2 above.
Then create a sales document type VOV8 and then assign sales document type to sales area in which you want to use.
IMG-Sales & distributin-sales-sales document-sales doc header
Do all other assignments like item category determination, schedule line category, pricing procedure determination etc
and then you can cretae a sales document using the particular sales area.

Change Company Code and Sales Organization

I have a group of records numbering about ~1K records that are in the wrong Company Code and Sales Organization. I can identifiy this group and put them in a flat file but they have account numbers that are not linear, by which I mean they aren't account numbers 1 to 1000. WITHOUT creating new customer mater records, how can I simply change the Company Code and Sales Organization code for these records? I've looked at the XD99 transaction but that seems to be limited to a range of accounts?

Hi Mark
It is not possible to change the Company Code and Sales Organisation of an Existing Customer.
The only option is that you can Extend the same Customer to New Co. Code and Sales Org. by using XD01. You may use old customer as reference. Once you create the new Customer Master you may block the Old Customer master initially and later on Delete them or Archive them.

How to get new company code and controlling area in SRM

Hi SDN,
we are on SRM 5.0.
Our finacial experts want to implement a new company code and controlling area.
In SRM I can set up a new company code easily in ppoma_bbp and import a new plant from backend for the new company code.
When testing in EBP I get the error: "company code xyz not available in controlling area zzz"
So I need to import the new backend controlling area, too. How can I get the second controlling area in SRM?
Thanx for help,
matthias

Hi Muthuraman Govi and Sanjeev,
in fact I can see in backend in transaction KS03 (show cost center) there in the F4s, which comp.code + controll area combinations are valid and have indeed cost centers assigned.
So I have a new valid comp.code and a new valid cont.area.
The new comp.code belongs to the new contr. area.
In SRM I set the BUK attribute as described by Sanjeev (I had that already done). Still, if it is like you say, why do I get an error in EBP when trying to buy products from the new plant in the new company code...
Is there any more config.work necessary in backend or SRM?
kind regards, matthias

Steps to define company code and its dependent entries for mm,pm

Hi Experts,
kindly share that how to define company code and its dependent assignments for PM & MM module

Dear Hitendra
Company code, Contolling area, Profit Center are Financials related fields and are mapped under FI Enterprise structure as its Org unit. Plant (Logistics Plant) is defined in MM. Related modules like PP, PM, SD extend this logistics plant in their repsective modules as Production Planning Plant, Production Plant, Maintenance Planning Plant, Maintenance Plant, Sales Plant etc.
Company code is never defined in any logistics moudle , its in Financials where it is defined. It is then assigned to the Plant in logistics thru which the company code gets populated easily in respective modules.In contolling end, its controlling area that talks.

How to Extend Sales Area data for a BP

Hello Experts,
I am working on CRM 7.0 and the requirement is to add a new new field in Complaints Tab in Sales Area Data screen of Business Partner in GUI as well as WebUI.
Question-> Can we add the new field in WebUI using AET? Does it supports extension of relevant Assignment block(Sales Area data->Complaints and Returns)? If yes then how can we add the same field in GUI after that? If not then what is the alternate solution and Can we use BDT to fulfil this requirement?
I assumed that EEWB does not supports extension of Sales Area data for a business partner. Please let me know if I have got it wrong.
Regards,
Amit

You can use AET to extend the sales area data of BP. However, it wont add the fields automatically in GUI, But the generated fields are available in the relevant DB tables.
BP GUI transaction is no more supported . Im not sure why you want to work on GUI.

Shaik

Importance of Sales Area Data for BP

Please give me the various reasons for having or maintaining Sales Area for a Business Partner:
_Explanation:_ What is the importance of maintaining Sales Area Data for BP.Please list out several points.
As we know Sales Area is composed of : Sales Organisation, Distribution channel, & Division.
Thanks & Regards,

These are off the top of my head. I can reply a bit later to add some more.
1) The pricing procedure (entered in the Billing Tab) which affects the LEAD, OPPT, AG, QCTR, and TA documents. Without the pricing of the product, the transactions cannot be executed and the total product value cannot be determined. Without a total dollar value, a TA doesn't make sense.
2) The S.O defines the legal terms for the product and if the BP wants to return the product they ordered, they have that information.

Devdatta Joshi

Dear Joshi,
1.First you do the common divisions and distribution channels through the t.codes VOR1 and VOR2.
2. You assign common sales area to the suppliying plant which you have difined in the common divisions and distribution channels.
i.e you maintain one division and one distribution channel as reference to all other divisions and distribution channels.
3.The purpose of the assigning sales area data to suppliying plant is, we are allowing the system to sale or transferinmg the goods from that suppliying palnt.
I hope it will help you

Extending Sales Area data for a Business Partner

Hi CRM experts,
I searched the forum but couldn't find a thread that I'm looking for..
I've a query regarding the extension of Business Partner to a new Sales Area in CRM. In R/3 we can provide reference sales area and extend the customer to a new sales area. This will copy all the relevant sales area fields' data to the new sales area in R/3. Do we have similar option in CRM? If not what is best method to extend large volume of Business Partners from one Sales Area to a new Sales Area?
Any pointers around this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Charan

Hi,
In the BP go to Sales Area Data and select sales tab. In that select the sales Org,D.Channel,division for which you want to maintain and enter all the detail in all the tabs (shipping,Sales,Billing etc) and save the BP.

How to Copy Sales Text Data from Customer Master to Sales Order.

Hi SAP Guru's
I have Completed Configuration for Central Text for Customer Master for two texts 1)Additional Attachments 2) Wooden Packing
I got these two fields in Customer Master.
I need these data to be copied from Customer Master to sales order. But i am unable get these two in to sales order.
Steps which I have done for Text Determination.
1) Text Id in for Text Object KNA1
2)Placed Text Id in Text Procedure and assigned this procedure to Customer Account Group.
Could you please advice me
Thanks in Advance.

Text Control
In this IMG activity, you define the rules for text determination. You must carry out the following steps:
Select a text object and define the rules for text determination for this object. Text objects are, for example, the sales texts in the customer master record or the sales document header.
Define the permitted text types for every text object. If the text types contained in the standard SAP R/3 System are not sufficient, create new ones.
Define the access sequences. This way, you define how the SAP System should determine the texts for a text type.
Group the text types together in text determination procedures. The SAP System then proposes the text types from the procedure when you maintain a customer master record or a sales & distribution document. The search for the respective text is carried out using the access sequence which you have stored for each text type in the procedure.
Allocate the text determination procedures so that a procedure applies to the following criteria in each case:
account group customer
sales & distribution document type
item category

Company code and Sales Org.

Hi, this is one of the certification questions.
Can you create a sales organization without setting up a company code?
I am almost certain we can't but I want to get a second opinion.
Thank you.

You can definitely create a sales organization without company code, but you won't be able to post any entries to the accounting department if you don't assign it to company code.
You can even create a customer without the Company code, using the sales area in T.Code: VD51.

Sales Area check for custom partner function

When processing sales orders in our system, it does not check the sales area for the customer of a custom partner function. Can this be setup via config or is there a an exit that can be used for this.
Thanks,
Roy

Yogesh -- Thanks for your response. However, it does not address the functionality issue.
Currently, I created new partner function ZZ (for example).
I assigned this partner function ZZ to account group Z000.
I created new partner XYZ in account group Z000, in sales area XX00/XX/XX.
I created a sales order in sales area YY00/YY/YY.
Problem is that system allows me to assign partner XYZ to this sales order.
How do I prevent this?
How do I enfore that system will only allow partner XYZ in the sales order, if the partner is created in the same sales area?
