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

  • Dual Control for Vendor/Customer Master Data

    We can set Dual Control for Vendor/Customer Master Data. I have set it. According to the cycle, I have customized sensitive field, and make changes in Vendor/Customer A/c. Here the changes will be confirmed by other user who is authorised to confirm the changes. In this scenario, I would like to know, can we avoid this confirmation once we have actived? If, no than how could we confirm the changes and where can we set authorisation?

    Dear,
    No, You cannot avoid the dual check if You activate it. Another user by FK08 has to confirm the changes.
    Then You can delete the field for the dual control into the table T055F and no check will be done in the future.
    I hope this helps.

  • Issue in changing Account Group of a Customer

    Dear Gurus,
    I am trying to change the Account Group of a Sold to Party in XD07, from '0001' to 'Z001' (an exact copy of '0001'), but the system is giving an Error message "Change of account group not possible; customer used in SD documents".
              '0001' = Sold to Party
              'Z001' = Non Operative Customers (who are not dealing with us now)(Same number range, same fields / values)
    I checked and made sure there are no open docs against his name and his account has Zero balance. The Customer is not having any Blocks. Still system is giving the Error message, now what to do?
    Best Regards.

  • 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

  • How to change the account group of a customer master?

    Would like to change Ship-to's to Sold-to's.  I know the transaction XD07, but when trying to promote a SH to SP, I receive the error
    The planned change is not allowed as the following field groups would be masked by the new account group.
    Below the error the table displays Group Name PO Box City and Address.
    How do i bypass this and successfully change the ship-to to a sold-to?

    Hi ,
        Chek out ur new account group for Sold to party ,whether all the fields in address tab is marked either optional /required. It should not be in display /supress mode then only u can successfully change ur SH account to SP account.
          I think , Number ranges should be same.
    if itz not  da same number range system will give the message ,but it will allow to change the account group.
    As I successfully worked in this issue earlier.
    As we all know, we only change the account group from lower to heigher,
    ie. sh,bp,py to SP only not viceversa.

  • Vendor/customer  Master data

    Dear Experts
    If existing vendor inform as with the letter, company name is  change form July 2009 ,what are the steps to be followed in sap
    If i change the Vendor Master from FK02 Transaction code, vendor master data will be changed. If i see the vendor master data /balance for DEC 2008 the vendor master data name is what i changed as of july 2009
    Is their any way to enter the period in master data as we change the cost center ( example:we define period in cost center)
    Does SAP has this Feature, if not any alternate solutions
    Your Responce will be appreciated
    Regards
    Shamulheq

    Hi,
    Vendor Name is stored centrally in the Vendor Master Data only and all the SAP Reports/Transaction would refer to this central information only, and hence if you would change the Name then the new name would only be visible everywhere......but yes the change history would always be available in the Vendor Master data.
    Your required logic can be implemented in a custom developed report by a ABAP programmer but in Standard it is not possible.
    Refer:

  • 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

  • Error while changing Account Group for Prospective Customer

    Dear All,
    I am getting an error when the account group of a prospective customer needs to be changed to Sold to Party
    The planned change is not allowed as the following groups would be masked by the new account group,
    S      Group                    Group Name             M                 Group Name
    V       D315                    Shipping                   030              Rail Specifications.
    Please let me know what is the reason for this error and as per my knowledge even if the no range is different for both these partner functions the system should allow me to change the account group however the earlier no given to prospective customer will still exist even if the prospective customer number is changed to sold to party please let me know otherwise.
    Kind Regards

  • Ship to party is not available in account group while creating Customer Master

    Hello All.
    While creating customer master in account group there is no SH(ship to party) what is the purpose of it . I can see PY BP but not SH (XD01). We always use Sold to Party but i have seen Payer and Bill to party as well while creating customer master . Just got confused why we select such options when everything comes under sold to party.
    I cannot see SH while creating customer for the first time is it necessary that SH should there while creating customer master.
    Regards

    Hi ,,
    please do assign ship to party to account group .
    SPRO --> S&D --> BASIC FUNCTION --> PARTNER DETERMINATION--> SET UP PARTNER DETERMINATION --> FOR CUSTOMER MASTER -- > A/C GROUP - FUNCTION ASSIGNMENT
    Here assign ship to party(sh) to your account group.
    Now you will find sh in customer master.
    If you want further clarification , please let me know.
    Regards

  • How do I define a new salutation for use in vendor & customer master data?

    Hi
    Can someone please advise how/where I need to go in order to define a new salutation type (eg: to be used in vendor and customer master set up)
    We currently have several standard salutations (eg: Mr, Miss) but not some really common ones we use (eg: Dr, Rev, Sir etc)
    I guess this might be somewhere in SPRO/IMG but anyone with the answer will be awarded points.
    Thanks

  • Reconciliation Account in Vendor/Customer Master

    What is the function of reconciliation account in Vendor/Customer Master?
    Regards
    Kailash

    Hi
    The  reconciliation account in the master record records all postings made to a subsidiary ledger.When you post items to a subsidiary ledger, the SAP system automatically posts the same data to the general ledger at the same time. Each subsidiary ledger has one or more reconciliation accounts in the general ledger. These reconciliation accounts ensure that the balance of G/L accounts is always zero. This means that you can draw up financial statements at any time without having to transfer totals from the subledgers to the general ledger.
    You can use the reconciliation accounts to make settings:
    You can use the reconciliation account to configure the screens for posting items to customer or vendor accounts. Using the reconciliation account you could, for example, suppress the fields for entering exchange rate hedges if these types of transaction are not made.
    You can also use the reconciliation account to specify which currencies you can use when posting to the corresponding customer or vendor accounts.
    You usually enter the local currency in the master record. Postings can then be made in all currencies to the customer and vendor accounts that the reconciliation account is assigned to. However, you can also enter a foreign currency key in the master record of the reconciliation account. If you do this, you can only post to the relevant customer and vendor accounts in the foreign currency specified.
    Thanks & Regards
