Customer Master,for a Vendor, takes wrong Ship-to in Return Delivery

Hi Everyone,
Process: Return to vendor based on the standard PO (type NB) with return delivery (type RL).
Settings Made: A customer master with account group Sold-to created and the code maintained in vendor master and vice versa. In this customer master Ship-to parter is not the same as other partner functions. Say Sold-to = Billed-to = Payer = 1234, but Ship-to = 5678.
Issue: Whenever a return delivery is created agianst a PO (in VL10D) the system proposes Ship-to customer same as the sold-to 1234 . Delivery is getting processed without any error but the question is why system should propose 1234 as Ship-to which is not defined in the parter functions of Sold-to cusotmer 1234? Instead system should take 5678 as Ship-to which is the only entry in the sold-to cusotmer 1234 available.
If a sales order is created for this customer, system correctly populates Sold-to (1234) and Ship-to (5678). The issue is only when a return delivery gets created against a standard PO.
Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Hemant

Hi
My reply to you is more of logical than SAP
Normally SP is the most dominant and important party in a sales process
If you have a different SH in a CMR that means this sold to party tells you rather than delivering goods to me you deliver it to this person
In standard SAP goods receiving hrs,Taxes,ship to address these are the data taken from a SH in a sales order
In case of returns the decision to return stocks will be taken only by SP and not the person who receives the goods
What i am telling is more of logical business process
That is why the system is proposing likewise
May be the other experts has give better explanation for this

Return to vendor via delivery, customer number for each vendor?

Hi
We wish to use return materials to Vendor via delivery process
addition to required configuration, we need to maintain Customer number in Vendor master
In out plant we have more than 500 Vendor masters, do we need to create customer number for each vendor? or can we create a generic customer ????
Business has a concern on creating customer for each vendor since number is huge, Sales guys may get confused with these numbers
Please suggest a way out
Thanks

Thanks Jurgen for the reply
We have Vendor Work flow setup in the system. Which means when ever vendor master is changed [Return indicator ticked] workflow kicks off which means it goes for approvals. This is why we dont want to go for tick as and when needed. When ever there is a return, return to vendor must be ticked, it will go for approval etc so it slows the process
we are thinking if we can achieve through data load before SAP GO-Live so that users able to return without any delay
NOTE 447070 says 'the automatic creation of the required customer data is not supported in the data transfer'
this is related to automatic customer create isnt it
i was thinking as below
--> Create Ship-to's for all vendors
--> Load vendors via LSMW [along with return to vendor ticked and customer number(created above)]
Tested in SAP
created ship-to
Created vendor with above customer number
Do you see any issue?
Thanks

Create 1 customer master for some small customer

Hi All,
Our company have some small customer, sometime they buy our goods (may be they buy only one time). So we want create 1 customer master for them. Can we do it?

Dear ngocvt,
Transaction Code: V-07 - Create a one-time customer. (Account Group - CPDA)
One time customer / vendor accounts in SAP means they are account groups for customer/vendor and where in only the general data of the customer / vendor are stored instead of maintaining the bank data and other company code data that are relevant for other account groups which are useful for long run purposes.
As you know everything that is entered in SAP is saved in some TABLE. Now the customer & vendor master is such a table which holds vast amount of data.
The business secenario where the vendor or customer which are being in system only for 1 transaction, it is not advisable to have all the data maintained in main master.
Therefore SAP has provided with the feature of One time vendor / customer wherein in the document entry stage only you have to enter the name, address and other details of the vendor/customer.
The data, as far as I know' remains at doc level and does'nt go to the master tables.
If you want to change the standard functionality then go to
Transaction OBD2, u will find CPDA, that is standard one one time customer account group.
Copy it and make necessary changes.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks

Vendor Master and Customer Master for FI AP/AR

hi FICO Gurus,
I am Sapna here and I have questions regarding the Mandatory fields for Vendor Master and Customer Master which would be mandatory for Running FI AP and AR. I am basically a MM Consultant but I have been asked to perform this role of Master Data at my current client.
I am quite familiar with the fact that these feilds are based on the needs of the bussiness and can be configured in IMG as required/optional or suppressed or diaplsy only.
What I am looking is
1. Are there any fileds list which is <b>Mandatory</b> for running FI AP/AR in global financial implemntation.
2. Also from FI Perspective what is <b>Good to have/Recommended fields</b> in Vendor Master and Cusotmer Master for Global Finacial implemtation.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Please point me in right direction...

OK all implementations are different so the client should have some imput here.
However you need to make sure certain address details are mandatory such as name, post code street and city.
You may always want an e mail address or phone number.
All AR & AP customer/ Vendors will need a recon account, so it is important there is one set up, but you also need to make sure in change mode this cannot be changed.
For Vendors you will require some kind of bank details and payment method.
For Customers if Dunning is being used you may need the Dunning Procedure and Accounting Clerk.
Also for a Customer there is the Sales Org view, and it is best to contact the SD consultant to see which fields are required here. The tax code, payment terms are normally mandatory.
For the Purchasing Org, I guess you would know about this...
Hope this helps.
Award points if useful.

Vendor & Customer master for cross company code

There are two company codes:
AB01 and AB02
I have to create AB02 as customer and vendor in AB01. Same way i have to create AB01 in AB02.
Let me know what all fields i need to fill in masters.

Hi Meenu,
If you require clearing between the customer and vendor, the following requirements must be met:
The customer number must have been entered in the corresponding vendor master record, in the Control tab
The vendor number must have been entered in the corresponding customer master record, in the Control tab
The fields "Clrg with vend." or "Clrg with cust." must have been selected in both master records.
If you require consolidations at a group level, the following requirement must be met:
Maintain trading partners and assign them during the intercompany transactions.

Can Customer Master changes to Vendor Master Automatic

Hello Sir,
We are implementing SAP for the General Insurance Company. Here ones the policy is generated from the customer. if the customer met with accident then that customer will be vendor.
Can Customer be vendor Automatic at the time of the payment.

I believe you have to link the Customer's and Vendor's Master Data in FK02 and FD02. It does not have to be the same number, but it helps when you are reporting because it makes it easier to spot and link their data.
Best regards,
Julio Gomez

Hi, Sagar:
Nice to see your thread here
No matter what kind of transactions you are using, finally, there will be a document posted in General Ledger Accounting, which is what you want. So to read the result, you can always try function module, like FI_DOCUMENT_READ.
Hope it will help.

Bapi For creation and change for Vendor Master and Customer Master

I am looking for BAPI to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master which will not take me to standard SAP transaction but will work in the background
Explanation: BAPI to delete material (BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE) take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM06 but BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA) creates material in the background i.e. does not take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM01
So in my case (i.e. to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master ) I want BAPI which would work like BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA)

For general information,to find BAPIs associated with any business object :
Transaction : BAPI - choose alphabetical tab - Find customer - (right side choose - tools - create bapi list and search ) , you will get all the BAPIs associated with this particular business object

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.

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.
Regards
Patchala.
