Customer Master - Customer Category

Hi All,
Customer Master having a field called Customer Category, Presently its having 2 records, I would like to add a new record in that. As i checked lookup forms, there is no category, but when i check the below query its showing 2 records like (CUSTOMER,PROSPECT).
SELECT * FROM FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_VL WHERE LOOKUP_TYPE='CUSTOMER_CATEGORY'
If there is anyway to add a new customer category please tell me. It will be more useful to solve this issue.
Version Used: R12.1.1

Sales orders/ invoice and customer master URGENT!!!!!

how can i correct this problem...... customer is linked to the wrong customer master, customer is supposed to be a canadian customer but linked to US customer master? in terms of currency
Also when the Sales order and Invoice was created for this customer they were inoviced in US dollars and not in Canadian Dolllars how do i reverse change currency from US to Canadian?
Does this mean that the sales order has been linked to the wrong customer master?

hI,
In this case if the invoice had not posted to A/C use vf11 and cancel invoice.and use vl09 and riverse pgi and delete the delivery and by going to VA02 delete order.
since u r saying that this customer falls under canadian customer while crweating CMR select A/C group of canadian customer then check all the critical fields of inco terms,payment terms,currency as per the standard and follow the subsequent sales process.
cross check the sold to party details weather invoice had made against proper sold to party or not?if not just cancel invoice and subsequent documents.
if the material had already dispached and you find there is any difference in total invoice value,create accordingly the needed Credit memo or debit memo with the proper reason.
later as a permenent solution mark this CMR for deletion and create new CMR with proper accounting group.

Tax category customer master

Hello,
Can two condition types be maintained in the customer master level.We are rolling new tax calculation process from SAP to external tax calculation however it will be in phases so there is an requirement to add new condition type in the customer master
till all the countries move to external tax and these two conditions work in parallel .
Regards,
Amy

I hope you were meant to say tax classification and not tax condition type. We do not maintain any condition type in customer master.
If that is the case, yes you can maintain different tax classification in customer master in Sales Area Data > Billing document tab. Parallely, in V/07, you have to assign tables like 293, 341, 368 etc. to differentiate your tax and maintain the same in VK11.

Business Partner creation for Customer Master creation

Hi
We have customized our system in order to trigger the creation of Business Partner whenever a Customer Master is created.
I created some customers for which the Business Partner creation was not triggered due to some reason.. In order to manage the same, i created a Business Partner manually and tried to link the same to my customer through T Code FLBPD2, but system returned with a message "The business partner could not be linked to the customer selected" Message Number CVIC_UI023.
Can anyone suggest something.
Thanx in advance

How to update partner functions in customer master

Hi all,
I want to update the partner functions for the customer master using transaction code XD02. I created the LSMW by means of recording but it doesn't work because the partner functions for the customer changes.
for example , certain customers have shipto paty, sold to party , bill to party payer and forwarding agent. some customers wont have all the above mentioned category.they may have only ship to party, sold to paty & bill to party.
Is there any other alternative way to update the partner functions for the customer.
Regards,
A.Rathinaprakash

Hi A.Rathinaprakash,
Please use the FM 'SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL' to maintain the partner functions in the customer.
Pass the partner details in the TABLES parameter T_XKNVP.

FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated

FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated for the FI documents posted in the customer account. I need to know is there any setting either in FI or in SD, which control whether the FI document is relevant to credit check?
In SD, we are having the item category but i am not getting how to control for FI documents? How can i make them credit relevant item. Also for special item, we are controlling the same through Transaction code : OBXY - by special GL indicators but what about the normal/general item?
How can I control the general FI documents having various FI documents type as relevant to credit check?

Apart from the above,please also check the below:
FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated for the FI documents posted in the customer account. I need to know is there any setting either in FI or in SD, which control whether the FI document is relevant to credit check?
As per me there is no specific control to active the credit active field in FI values unlike for updating the sales values in FD32 we activate credit active for the item cat(VOV7) which will ensure the sales values to update (open order, open delivery and open invoices) in to credit management.
For FI values to update i think this is inbuilt in the program only.( example update group 000012,15,18 etc).
Any way coming into query not updating the receivables, please check the below points once again.
1. Check the whether invoice has accounting document generated or not, make sure that it is generated then only system update the receivables.
2. Even if the above all points are checked including above all posts,then also still the same issue repeating then try to run the program RVKRED77, before this first run RVKRED88 and compare this values with FD32.
thanks,
Srinu.

Hi All,
Anyone know if any customizing is required to activate the Customer Tax Classiification entry screen in the Customer Master of Sales Area (BillingT Tab)? I could not enter the customer tax classification as the entry screen doesn't appear in the customer master.

In OVK1 Enter the TAX CATEGORY for the Country
In the OVK3 transaaction code enter the TAX CLASSIFICATION for the Tax category defined in OVK1
after this assignment try to create the customer master , in the Billing tab the tax classification will appear.

Hello SDN!

Custom fields to the sales area tab of customer master data

Hi Guys,
i have one requirement, where i need to add Zfields to the Sales tab in sales area data of customer master. Can somebody give me steps how to do it? do we need to do screen programming or just appending KNVV so that functional consultants can do configuration based on account group?
help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Siva

Hi,
.First in IMG - Enterprice Structure - Definition
Create the Organisational Units you want to use
2.Then In Enterprise structure - assignment
Setup the sales areas you want to use in SD
Then go to XD01/ VD01 and create a new customer to whom you want to sell goods & service thr a particular sales area which you have already set up in IMG.
YOu can create a customer master for only those sales areas which you have created in Step 2 above.
Then create a sales document type VOV8 and then assign sales document type to sales area in which you want to use.
IMG-Sales & distributin-sales-sales document-sales doc header
Do all other assignments like item category determination, schedule line category, pricing procedure determination etc
and then you can cretae a sales document using the particular sales area.

hi good sap1,
Batch Input - Customer Master Data (RFBIDE00)
Description
All new fields for customer master records can be transferred to the R/3 System also with the report RFBIDE00.
Furthermore, the batch input can be carried out with the existing record definitions. By means of the end of record marker, the report recognizes which record structures do not yet correspond to the extended record layout and initializes the new fields with NODATA.
It is pointed out in the batch log, which structures are yet to be maintained. This should be done as soon as possible to be able to use the new functions or fields
Introduction
It is now possible to pass the information concerning tax categories and withholding types (for the extended withholding functionality) and the special Argentine fields via the standard batch-input program. Please look at the standard documentation if you need further information on the program.
Additional Fields
The additional fields have been added to the structures BKNA1 (general information) and BKNB1 (company code data). Please use transaction SE12 to see the fields of the structures.

Classification - Customer Master

To All,
A customer encountered a system problem a few weeks ago when creating customer master records. The users didn't report the problem and all the logs and short dump records are no longer available so its really not possible to determine what event in the system actually occurred.
According to the end users they saw a "System Error" message but were able to create and save customer master records so assumed the records were fine.
However a result of this event in the system has caused inconsistent data in the classification tables.
Example a customer is not assigned to class yet has the characteristics populated in the AUSP table. When you view the customer via XD03 the class is not assigned.
Question is has anyone ever experienced these types of data discrepancies an if so what is the best approach to clean up the erroneous data.
3 Customers were incorrectly assigned classification data (actually from a different customer master record) and they also were created out of sequence.
Buffering of customer numbers is set to 5.
Any comments appreciated on why this may occur.

Dear All,
I have idea about the use of these Tax Categories and Tax Classifications..
But I just wanted to know why they are four??
and if my material is liable for Tax and Customer is also liable to pay Tax OR even in any permutation what to maintain in these Classification...
shall I maintain "1" for every Tax Category OR only one is enough OR it has some specific maintanence required???
Which one will be considered out of FOUR while determining Tax Code??
Thanks..
Hardik.

Tax on customer master

Hi all,
I have situation, in which when i try to create customer for the country IE, for some reason under the Tax field for customer I have two country's defined as below
GB United Kingdom MWUK Output Tax
IE Ireland MWST Output Tax
I am not understanding why and from where its picking GB. As i would have thought only IE should be displayed,
Hope somebody could help!1

Hi,
The tax classification view of the customer master is not sales org specific though it appears in the sales org specific data. This view is common for all the tax related purposes and is relevant for all the company codes.
So, if a tax category is linked to a country in FTXP and this condition type is included in the tax procedure of a country, then automatically, the combination of the country and the tax category will be populated in this view. This is in the table KNVI. For this combination, you have to maintain the tax classification when you are getting into the customer master in change mode (the sales area data doesnot really matter. Even if you change the sales area which is not GB, the tax related data for GB will appear in this view as this view alone is not sales area specific but is applicable for entire tax determination)
Hope this helps you. If you have any doubts on this, please let me know.
