Hi
In Real Time Master Data team will look into Creation of the Master data.This will be as same as how you create in a training class.For every external party with whom we do business must be created as a Vendor or a Customer.The system offers seperate functions for maintaining Customer Master Records and Vendor Master Records depending on the requirements of your Organization.
A Complete Customer Account consists of General Data at the Client Level , Company Code Segment and Sales Area Segment.These Data records can be maintained Centrally for all areas or seperately for Financial Accounting and Sales and Distribution.
A Complete Vendor Account consists of General Data at the Client Level , Company Code Segment and Purchase Organization Segment.Vendor Master Records can be maintained Centrally for all areas or seperately for Financial Accounting and Materials Management.
