Configuring Group Key in Customer Master

Dear Folks,
I would like to add more group keys for selection in the field KNA1-KONZS.
This field is in the customer master => general data => control data => group key.
Could anyone advice me where in SPRO can I add more values to this field?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Junwen

However , I am not able to find the field in XD02 for maintaining cust payment guarantee procedure.
Can some one help me in locating that field . Can this customer master screen be controlled through field screen.
Regards,
Mrinal

Mrinal,
in Customer master , we can see the field in Sales area data billing tab.
But if u are nt able to see in that then i guess that fields are suppresed.
For seeing that do this
go to transaction OVT0
select your account group then On Field Status group, double click on the word Sales data then on the word Billing.
In this go to Hedging and credit contr. area which may be suppressed, it means that the field above is not visible in the customer master data. Make this fields visible.
Thanks,

How will i configure partner determination for customer master

how will i configure partner determination for customer master data.

hi
Check this
BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PARTNER DETERMINATION
In the partner determination procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (Customer Master, Sales Document, Item Category etc.) For each object, in which partner function can be created, you can define partner procedures. This also means that
For Customer Master
For Sales Documents
For Sales Documents and Billing Documents: for items
We can define our partner determination procedure for each of these levels as shown below. In Blue are given the ones wherein the Partner Procedures are assigned to the Partner Objects
Customer Master Account Group
Sales Document Header Sales Document Type
Sales document Item Item Category in sales
Delivery Delivery Type
Billing Header Billing Type
Billing Item Billing Type
Sales Activity Sales Activity type
By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure would be valid.
In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function
whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
whether the partner function can be changed in the document
BUSINESS PARTNER FUNCTION
By assigning a business partner function to a partner you can determine which functions the partner fulfils in the business process. Partner Functions are classified using partner type. The partner type represents the roles played by the business partner within the business transaction.
Following partner functions exist in the standard process of Sales and Distribution
Partner Type Customer
Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party, Payer and Sold-to Party authorized to release against a contract. You can define the sold-to party authorized to release against a contract in the partner screen of a contract. This partner may only schedule orders with reference to this contract, even when he is not the sold-to party authorized against a contract.
Partner Type Contact Person
Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (e.g. purchasers) Contact person can be created directly in customer master record.
Partner Type Vendor
A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
The other possible partner functions on the credit side in the sale process are interpreters, auditors etc. The forwarding agent is an agent who performs transportation services. This includes organizing the shipment, delivery and receipt of the goods, arranging the carrier services and handling the customs issues.
Partner Type Personnel
Employee Responsible
Sales Personnel
You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
In the Customer Master If the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer.
In the Sales Document If the employee is responsible for processing the Business Transaction.
STEP WISE PROCESS FOR PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->set Up Partner Determination->Set up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
First go to OVT0 create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.
Now go to IMG logistics general business partner customers control define & assign customer number ranges define the number. Here you range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.
Now go to VOPA here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. The following steps need to be done in partner determination area
Assign partner function to account group i.e SP,SH, BP, PY to account group (debit side ). Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->Assign Partner Functions on the debit side to account Groups.
Then create Partner Determination Procedure.
Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Function.
Then finally assign the Partner Determination Procedure to acc group.
Important Points in Business Partners and Partner Determination Procedure
Partner relationship maintained/defined in the customer master is proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document.
In customizing we can decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master.
In sales documents, the system is configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function.
We can define partners at item level in the sales documents.
Business Partners that are defined at the header level however cannot be changed at the item level.
You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered in a sales document.
It is also possible to manually change or enter the address of a partner, such as the Ship-to Party. This change does not affect the master record.

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

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.

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

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

Language key in customer master

hi
customer with both different language in customer master addess, e.g. german and english. For the printing, they want to use German addess, but keep english addess as well in company code ABC. But in comopany code DFG, mostly, the printing is english. So what should I do? also whats the function of international version in customer master. Pls advice. thanks

Hello,
it's not clear to understand from your question wether your customer have two different addresses or do you need a different form of printing (depenting of country for delivery i.e.).
If you need two different addresses, the Business Address Service can be a solution for you. The button "international version" customer master allows to hold more than one address for one customer. Have a look in customizing documentation at SPRO > Activate international address versions. You can define your own kind in customer namespace (between 0 to 9).
Than, if you have more than one address, you can choose in the printing programm the address which you want to print.
More informations about using the Business Address Service you will found at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c8/13b237b9a9a968e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm.

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.

Sort Key
Hi All,
in the master data (control data) of the G/l account XXXXXX (it's a reconciliation account) I've filled in the sort key the value ZZ1 (XBLNR).
Instead, in the master data of a certain customer which has its Reconciliation Account equal to xxxxxx, I've filled in the sort key ZZ2 (BELNR).
Posting a document, I need that the Assignment number is equal to XBLNR.
How could I obtain this?
Thanks a lot

Click on Change.
Click on where used list.
Check programs and uncheck all.

A list of programs will be displayed.If you double click on any program then,the lines where it is used are displayed.
Identify your warning message line.
Double click on it.
Change it from W to E before the numebr 423.
Save.
2.Unassign the block assigned for your customer in XD05 for your sales order type.
Suppose 01 is the block assigned for your customer.
Goto SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Define and assign reason for blocking.
Assign reason for blocking.
Suppose "OR" is your document types.
Delete the entry 01,OR in this table.

In this case for this order type,you can create or change the order even though the block is assigned to it.
