Change of ownership of a customer site in SAP

Hi
By change of ownership, we're talking about a customer site (physical outlet/store) changing owners from Owner A to Owner B. Owner A and Owner B can be totally different customers with different Payer details.
Currently we are creating a new Sold-To for Owner B and then making the old Sold-To (owner A) "inactive" which has led to a bit of a mess. We'd like to avoid having to create a new Sold-To each time a change of ownership occurs.
One option we're considering is to update the existing Sold-To account (for the phsyical outlet/store i.e Owner A) with the details of Owner B but create an Ex-Payer account (i.e dummy payer account that is no longer linked to the Sold-To) for Owner A and a separate Payer account for owner B that is linked to the Sold-To. This way we can manage debt collection/claims on the old owner through the Ex-Payer account and manage payments /invoices for new orders on Payer account for owner B.
What other options are available to us?
Can we use the Head Office / Branch concept in some way to deal with the above mentioned change of ownership scenario?
What is the best practice way of handling a change of ownership of a physical outlet (sold-To) in SAP ?
Are there articles that deal with Change of Ownership and / or Head office-Branch concept that we could read up on?
Any help or ideas on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Trevor

Hi
This is an interesting scenario. Creating a new customer and leaving old one as orphan doesn't sound a good idea. What you have shared is the best approach I think. You are creating new Payer and assigning that to existing sold to party and changing the name address etc of that sold to party is the good approach. With this you could have financial information of old owner separately and you can start new business with new owner.
Head office and branch customer is not for this purpose. That is something else which you may have already read that. Thats kind of parent child relation but in your case your ownership is changing so I think you are already doing good.
Thank$

  • Changing The Speed Dial Icon [Custom Pic For The Top Sites]

    how do i change the pic for the top sites on the speed dial. can i use a custom images like on chrome or opera??

    You can use virtually any image or link as an email button, the sky is the limit. To do this just insert your image into iweb and click on the inspector button, from here you go to the very last button called the link inspector, enable as a hyperlink and chose an email message. You can then put the url of the email address you wish to link it too. As far as customizing the look I would start with one of the blank page choices. Again to specifically customize the look of your menu or anything else on the page use the inspector. If you want to create your own menu there is an option not to display navigation on your page, and this allows you to have complete control of how your page looks. Create a simple page, open up the inspector, and have some fun creating your own pages. Hope this helps.

    i cant turn on the coockies when i go to the tools --->options--->privacy and choose use custom sitting for history and click OK. Then o go back nothing changed

    Note that the "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" (Never remember history means that Private Browsing mode is active).
    "Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Webserver - setting permissions for Custom Sites

    Quick q on setting permissions for custom sites default. Default home for custom (non-default) web site is:
    /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/ 
    and whatever subdirectory you stipulate, e.g. MyServer - or whatever.
    Server sets this as owner:
    drwxrwxr-x   7 root  admin  238 Mar  8 15:34 CustomSitesDefault
    drwxrwxr-x  16 root  admin  544 Mar  8 15:38 Default
    For security, shouldn't the permissions and ownership be changed - to some webamin user WITHOUT root privs? Or will this break Lion Server? Thanks.

    Hello,
    One option would be to disable the automatic Project Site Sync in the User Sync Settings Page, create custom permission levels and groups on your SharePoint Project site template(s) to meet your requirements - make use of default SharePoint groups where
    possible, save the new template(s) and attach the new templates to the EPTs. Then develop a Project Server event handler that adds the users to the Project Site on the Publish event (or what ever event you like). The project owner one is simple - just add
    the project owner to the new SharePoint group, project members - just read the project team and add those users and the visitors just add a domain AD group (Domain Users for example) to that group.
    Default Project Server sync settings / site permissions can be seen here:

  • I've bought an used macbook pro and want to change the ownership!

    Basically i've purchased on ebay a pre-owned macbook pro that hasn't come with the original OS discs and I don't know how to change the ownership!
    I've only have the ebay articule of the auction that I won and my credit card resume where I paid for the item that proofs my ownership on the macbook but nothing else!!
    I just want to state somehow legally that this macbook is now mine in case i need apple care assistance or anything else (legal matters).
    thanks on advance to the whole community!

    pre-owned macbook pro that hasn't come with the original OS discs
    Which OS was originally pre-installed?  You need this information, in order to receive the proper instructions on how to wipe it clean.
    Macs that came with the OS'es 10.6.8 & earlier are not suppose to be sold w/o the DVDs that originally came w/them per Apple's license agreement.  If this is the case w/you, then you purchased a glorified door stop.  The system DVDs have troubleshooting tools on them and they are machine specific.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Migrate the MOSS application that having custom site defination to SP 2013.

    Hi All,
    I need to migrate a SharePoint 2007 application that uses the custom site definition in to SP 2013. I believe custom site definition is no more supported in SP 2013. Can anyone please suggest me what should be the approach for migration?
    Regards Restless Spirit

    Hi Restless,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to migrate SharePoint 2007 application to SharePoint 2013.
    You cannot upgrade directly from the server products in the Office 2007 release to SharePoint 2013. The changes between versions are too great, and the hardware requirements differ so much between versions that a direct upgrade is not possible or supported.
    However, you can perform a series of database-attach upgrades to first upgrade your content to SharePoint 2010 Products and then to SharePoint 2013. More information, please refer to
    it.
    Or, you can use a third party to migrate SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013.

  • Stop changing server ownership

    Does anyone know how to stop DW from changing ownership
    and/or group rights on the files on the server. I am an
    administrator of a fairly large website, which has many
    contributors. Every time I edit the pages of some else's part of
    the site, DW changes the ownership of the file on the server to me
    (we use RH Linux). This means that the real owners of the pages
    cannot edit them, and I have to go in by hand and reset them.
    Really frustrating. Thanks all!!

    I have never seen DW do this. Does it happen in all sites for
    you?

    hi folks
    don't worry, i have given up as it really seems iWeb can not do this.
    however, i have identified 2 possible solutions. the one i have chosen is to simply add new albums by choosing one of apple's templates and then modify it until it fits my design. i have created 15 additional main albums this way and it took me (because of the "mass production") only 15 minutes per album to get it done. now i have enough empty albums spare for the next few years...
    the other way to accomplish what i wanted would have been to make the main "my album" page invisible for visitors and use it only for administration (so it can contain 100 albums but nobody would ever have to wait until they load). then create a new page which i call picture (copy any of my other pages and modify it) on which i will post some "virtual albums", which means use any picture out of an album and create a direct link to the album. i could use a vary low resolution version of the main pic and this way i would have a "picture" page which loads extremely fast but is actually nothing else than a link to the real album. then just copy this page as many times as i need albums and change the pictures and the links in it. the advantage is that it loads very fast, the disadvantage that i loose the ability to scroll through albums by moving the mouse over it, as what you see is of course only a picture and not the album.
    i have chosen the first version because it has the advantage to be able to move albums as one pleases. however, both versions would be fine.
    it's already done and eaten.
    thanks anyway for reading yourself through this...

  • Assign Values to Category column in custom Site template by using save a s template method

    Hi All,
    I am trying to develop a new custom site/web template in SharePoint 2013. In the site  I  have used Issue tracking list. I rename Issue status  to Risk status. In the category column I gave my custom values e.g.
    <CHOICE>Change Management</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Funding</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Global Communication</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Implementation</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Interdependencies</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Objectives</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Organizational Culture</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Resource Availability</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Sponsorship</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Supportability</CHOICE>
                        <CHOICE>Technical</CHOICE>
    I saved the site as template and uploaded the custom template into site collection. When I created a new site based on the custom template I noticed Risk status has been renamed to default Issue status and category  column has default values e.g. category
    1 category 2 etc. How can I fix it  ? Your help will be highly appreciated

    Hi,
    As the error message suggests, it is not supported to add this app into a site template. To work around this issue, it is recommended to remove this app from your
    site before saving it as template.
    The KB article below would provide more details about this issue:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2885566?wa=wsignin1.0
    To install this app to the specific sites you want in a batch, administrators can also use the App Catalog to push apps to specific site collections, managed paths,
    and site templates.

    I would also suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of Office 365 SharePoint Online:

    It
    is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft

  • How to track our stock at customer site

    We have some stock - spare parts - kept at customer sites.  We still have ownership, until it is used for a repair. 
    How should we keep track of this stock?
    a) special stock (type W) - standard consignement process.
    b) create a new storage location for each customer where this occurs
    c) allow the end-users to create new storage locations as needed.
    For bonus marks, which solution did the users write in the bug report, and did they:
    a) suggest
    b) demand
    c) insist

    Hi,
    As i understand your scenario, i think best suitable is consignment because how many storage locatio can create and its become hactic everytime to maintain location.  If the consignment, then you have track of stocks and alos when u dump the material in consignment agent your inventory value didnt get effected in books unless you issue for repairs.
    Hope this help.

  • Process question - manage stock at customer site

    Dear all,
    I have a business requirement and I am having difficulties mapping it to SAP, as I had never seen this process.
    My customer is a TELCO customer and sells or consigns materials to their agents (the materials have a serial number attached to it). They have a business need to always know how much stock is on their agents, so that they can plan their purchase orders accordingly whether if it's consigned or sold.
    If it is a consignation process, there is no problem as we always have visibility of the stock on the customer site. But how to know what is the stock on customer site if we made a normal sales to them?
    I have read a little bit about Vendor Managed Inventory but I don't know if it would be applicable as I have never customized it.
    Regards,
    Joã

    After the delivery I invoice them immediatly
    In SAP, once you billed the end customer, the invoiced quantity cannot be traced as the liability ceases from manufacturer. When inventory is not there, why do you want to keep track of this.  If you want still have to track the stocks, you have to create a zee table having the minimum required fields from VBRP and the customer code to whom the agent is selling along with afield called status.
    As and when invoice is generated on the agent, the data should be stored in this table with the status as "stock with agent" and once the agent distributes the stocks from thieir warehouse, status should be changed to "sold" and based on this status, you have to have a zee report.
    thanks
