Contact Type for an Account

Why 'Contact Type' is required to be entered for an Account, as we already define 'Account Type' and ideally same should be populated for a 'Contact Type' while linking a 'Contact' to 'Account'? Any specific reason ? (Scenario > I am first creating an Account & then linking Contact to an Account)

Hi Bobb,
Thx for you answer, but i am still not convinced on a contact being linked to multiple Accounts,
Lets take a scenario; i created an Account "General Electric" with Account Type = 'Customer'. I am now creating a contact for this account (from Account Detail page) named "Mr. John Miller"; logically this contact should be 'Customer' type only, as i cannot have this contact as my 'Competitor' or something else. Do you agree?

I would like to send contacts via wireless in vcf format in an e-mail. iPhone doesn't even see the attachment. Is there a special file contact type for iphone?

I must be more specific:
I am attempting to send a vcf from a Windows Computer using Outlook to another Email account that syncs with an iPhone. When I read the e-mail on the iPhone, I can't see the vcf file. But I can see the contact on outlook as a VCF.

Create new contact types for customer contact worklist

Hi,
I'm new to Collections Management and have been asked to add some new dropdown options to the Create Customer Contact screen, Contact Type field. The current options are 'Outbound Call', 'Inbound Call', 'Visit to Customer' and 'Visit from Customer'. This is viewable in the Worklist (tcode UDM_SUPERVISOR).
I've searched SPRO and thought it might be set in the Customer Service or Notification area but can't find it in either.
Any suggestions welcome.

Valuation type for two account category reference

Hi Experts
I created valuation type for
1) DOMESTIC & IMPORT with account category reference 0001 (for raw material)
it is applicable only with ROH material type.
2) Same Valuation type DOMESTIC & IMPORT system donu2019t allow to create for other account category reference 0003 ( it is for ZESS spares)
Here requirement is material type ROH & ZESS need to DOMESTIC purchase and IMPORT purchase. hence both material type need DOMESTIC & IMPORT valuation type How to solve this?
karan

Assign both the valuation class to the account category reference. And then assign both the material types to the same account category reference.
You can assign multiple valuation class to an Account Category Reference.
A valuation class can only be assigned to only one account category reference
Only ONE account category reference can be assigned to a material type
where as multiple Material Types can be assigned to a account category reference.
Hope this helps!!

BalanceRecurring type for system accounts

Hi All!
Is it possible to make system accounts (like Shares Owned etc) with type Balance Recurring?
I just want to enter or calculate data for system accounts in Jan and use it in next periods. And I want change it for next periods only if I need, but not for all periods.
Thanks in advance!

It is not possible to change the Account Type of the system account. You can create a new account which you can tag as Balance Recurring and in the calulation sub routine you can flow that accounts value to the system account.
Hope this is helpful

PCUI - Different Text type for Accounts and Contact Persons

Hi All,
While configuring the Text Determination, how can we have different determination procedures for Accounts and Contacts. On the CRM back end side there is no distinction on the objtect type for account & contacts. Instead there is one for BP.
We defined a Text Det Proc for Object BUT000 (Business Partners) which gives us the same text types in both accounts and contact person screens in PCUI. But we want different text types. Can any one please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Raj K

Hello All,
Any suggestions in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save.

Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not. Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone. However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine. That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone. When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.' Help!

MIGO - Accounting - Condition type for Mark up posting to Inventory account

Hi All,
We have a requirement for posting intercompany Stock transfer between Company A and B, and the transfer price will be Moving Average Price (say $ 100) + Mark up (say 25% i.e., 25) of supplying plant.
Created a new PO pricing procedure, and created a new Accrual condition type ZMRK for markup and made it statistical posting. Also in the pricing procedure the Condition type we assigned an Account key ZM1 and Accrual Key ZMA. we tried posting the Goods receipts in the receiving Company B, and it is posting the following entry :
Invetory A/C                 DR         125               (note: Account key ZM1 was not considered for debit account for markup)
GR/IR     A/C                          CR      100
Markup Accrual   A/C             CR        25
REQUIREMENT: Our requirement is that the Mark-UP condition should not hit Inventory Account and should be debited to I/C Mark Up account (assigned to Account key ZM1) and entry should be as below:
Inventory A/C           DR         100
Markup A/C            DR           25
GR/IR     A/C                  CR            125 (accrual is not required, if we can include the markup into GR/IR account)
OR
Inventory A/C        DR       100
Markup      A/C        DR         25
GR/IR         A/C               CR       100
Markup Accrual A/C       CR         25
NOTE: The Material is maintained as Moving Average Price and we dont want to add the Mark Up cost into the MAP of the receiving plant.
Please check and let me know if there is a way to do a condition type in PO pricing procedure to solve the issue of not hitting the inventory posting for condition record or any other way to handle this requirement.
Thanks in advance,
Surya

If you dont want the mark up to come in invoice separately, why do you want it to hit a GR / IR account? ( in short why use del cost condition )
If hitting gr / ir is not a requirement and you just need to acrue it, try the following
PB00 to take 100
create 2 conditions one positve and one negative ( accrual, without condition category ) to take the value 10
the + and - will cancel in the inventory account; you can accrue to different accrual accounts

BAPI/FM for creation of CONTACT RECORD for the contract account

Hi All,
I need to create a contact record for the a contract account.
The contact record details will be maintained in the table BCONT.
Let me know if there is a function module/BAPI/any othere way to create a contact record.
Regards
Shiva

Hi,
You can use the function module - BCONTACT_CREATE to create Contact record
(or)
make a BDC of the Tcode - BCT1(Contact creation) and use the same for creation of contacts in batch
Note: Contact is created against Business Partner and not Contract Account. So you will have to include your logic of finding out the respective Business Partner for the Contract Account for which you need to create Contact record.

Account groups & Sales order types for 5 Companies

Dear All,
There are 5 company codes under one client but these are five different operating entities (Companies). I mean there is no intercompany process at all. One company will act as a customer / Vendor to another and even they file there IT returns separately.
But the business (Sales / Purchases) processes in these company codes are exactly the same.
Please help me out with the following issue under the above situation:
1) Will there be a common Account Group for all 5 company codes as it is defined at client level or there should be a separate Account Group Company codewise as 5 companies are operating separately.
2) Similarly Sales Document types i.e., ZIN, ZQT, ZOR, ZLF, ZF2 should be defined separately for each company code or not?
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Akasha,
You said : for the document types again , a single document type can be used for all the company codes, unless there is some other specific case where in seperate document type is required
Cud you plz lemme know an example of any such specific case. Because if single document type for 5 companies is not affecting any Business Process Financially and operationwise. I can go ahead by sharing one document type for 5 Companies.
Only one thing cud be is the number range, which will also be shared. Am I right ?
Thnx & Best Regards,
Pankaj

Cost Distribution in Shopping Cart for different account assignment type

Hi friends,
We are at SRM Server 5.5 at level SAPKIBKT07. Business scenario is extended classic.
User is creating a shopping cart with single line item and distributing the cost to multiple account assignments (say Cost Center and Order). Shopping cart has a valid source of supply. System creates a PO in SRM and tryu2019s to replicate the PO in ECC backend, however fails to replicate.
My understanding is that in ECC backend it is not possible to combine two different account assignments while distributing cost at item details.
Solution would be to create separate line items for different account assignments (distribute between similar account assignments).
Is my understanding right?
Thanking you in advance,
Sandeep

Sreedhar,
Thanks for your update.
I am also MM consultant, so as far as MM goes we can only maintain one account assignment type per line item. In MM we have provision of multiple account assignment but it works only for single account assignment type per line item. Which means if account assignment is "k" then we can split between multiple cost centers, but we cannot split between cost center and WBS element in one line item.
You said it is possible to split between multiple account assignments in one line item. Will it be possible for you to try at your end and let me know how PO/PR are created in backend?
Sandeep

Contact Person for One Time Account Customer?

We have set up a One Time Account Customer for use in Sales Orders, using a separate Account Group to normal customers. However when creating our sales orders, we normally put in the customer contact person in the partner tab, having created the contacts in VAP1. I have tried creating a test contact for the OTA (just something like Accounts), and it will not allow me for the Account Group OTA. How do I correct this?

In the partner determination procedure assigned to this new Account Group (One Time Customer) please make sure to add the partner function Contact Person.
I think for Sales header Partner determination procedure you already have the Partner function :Contact Person added.

Sai
