Customer Master - Sales Area

Can anyone advise why SAP allows customer master to be created for sales org w/o need to specifying the distribution channel and division in VD01?
Shdn't sales area entries be mandatory at VD01? What's the rationale behind this?
Thanks
Peter

hi, peter
            if we think generally   when we are creating customer master it is only required to know that perticular customer belongs to which salesorg. when& only when he given an order for a product then only divison and dist.chnl on shipping comes into the picture.(customer belongs to a salesorg not to divison, based his purchsing tothe distr chnl.
              i hope i did need full
                                                  ...best regards
                                                     rayal

Customer Master Sales area data Customer Tax Classification.

Hi Guru's
Want to know that hoew to increase the No. of tax classification lines in the master data. At present there are only two entries (lines) can be given for a single customer.
What is the config menu path and setting involved in order to increase these entries in the Customer master, so as to enter some more combinations in it.
For example I need the folowing combinations:-
DE - MWST - 1
GB - MWST - 4
IR - MWST -6
CH - MWST - 3
At present I am able to enter only any 2 of them and not more than that. I want a solution to enter more than 2 records in the Customer master.
Thanks. Points will be awarded.

Customer Master - Sales text copy to Sales Document Header

Hello,
I have properly configured the text types, access sequences, and text procedures to take text from the Customer - Sales & Distribution and copy to the Sales Document Header. After testing this in my DEV system, everything is working appropriately.
I have transported these changes to my QA system, all transports went through successfully. All configuration is now the same between my DEV and QA systems, and the access sequences are recognized in both systems via the TTXERN table.
All changes were made using transaction VOTXN.
The problem is that when performing my test in QA, the text is not copied from the Customer Master - Sales Area text to the Sales Document Header text. When going to the Text Determination Analysis view, it states 111 - Access Sequence does not exist. When selecting Customizing, it clearly shows that the access sequences do exist.
Has anyone encountered this issue? I have checked SAP notes but have not found a proper resolution for this issue.

Read OSS Note 1002455 - Errors in texts: Messages VX 201, VX 111, and VX 205 and Note 1002664 - FAQ: Text determination problems after upgrade.
Also check OSS Note 581779 - Text determination analysis: Access sequence does not exist.
One more OSS Note 970153 - Change to Customizing text not transferred to target system may also apply to your scenario.

Report to fetch the text information from customer master sales data

Dear Experts,
We have come up with a requirement where the business want a report/list of the customers for whom a particular text is not maintained in customer master -sales data.
There are many Z text id are configured and are maintained in Sales data- extras- text. In addition, business also need some key fields from the customer master such as name, city, delv plant, payment terms, sales off, sales grp etc.
I could not get any standard table where the text is maintained with the customer numbers. Table STXH can give the customer numbers for a particular text id type but what is maintained against the given text id is not fetched from the table.
So we need the valuable inputs to realize the requirement.
As an proposal, we are aiming to develop custom Z report with the FM READ_TEXT to get the text information with the customer no ( object type KNVV and text id ). But for the additional information, what should be the actual logic for fetching the data. say if this FM is used, what should be the sequence of the logic and ideal selection parameters.
In addition, we aim to use BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2 to fetch some of the customer ifnormation but many fields are not found in this . can we use some other bapi which can provide the complete general/sales data of customer ( delv plant, sales off, sales grp, custo grp, incoterms, payment terms etc)
Kindly suggest accordingly.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Dharmendra Kumar,
I guess the best would be to check in ABAP General forum on the READ_TEXT sequence/ logic etc..
For customer details, the available BAPIs are:
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2
However, you might have to check classes in SE24 to find any existing classes and its method yo give you all the information of a customer. Also check this thread: [BAPI for customer details like in IDoc DEBMAS;

Sales office authorization check in customer master,Sale order and billing

Hello Experts
We need to restrict authorization for customer master, sale order and billing based on sales office.
Can somebody guide me how to activate this ? Has anyone of you have successfully done that?
Regards
kumarlib

Hello Kumar,
User authorization is within Basis expertise, but if you want to get some feel for what authorization objects are take a look at trans SUIM. But basically how it works is for a given transaction the level of check is specified -- in this case Sales Office. Based on values stored in that field the user is allowed or not allowed transaction access.
So you determine whatever the needed matrix is for authorization restriction (i.e. user A can access Sales Office xxx, user B can access Sales Office yyy & so on). Also give Basis the transaction codes to restrict, along w/the technical table/field for each (like from customer master - KNVV-VKBUR, from sales doc level VBAK-VKBUR). Basis sets up the authorization object w/assignments to the users accordingly.
This is standard SAP & your Basis support should be familiar with it. Good luck.

How to define ABC class field in the Customer Master Sales tab

HI All,
can any one let me know how to define the new ABC class in the Customer Master Sales tab like below.
u2013 A (> 6,000,000 )
u2013 B (> 1,000,000u20136,000,000 )
u2013 C (> 100,000u20132,000,000 )
u2013 D (< 100,000 )
can any one let me know how to define and path in IMG.
Thanks in advance.
kumar reddy.

In my opinion, you don't have any such std table/view to update ABC Classification field. You might need to update relevant infostructure based on your requirement, such as sales, invoiced, etc..
Try with following, based on your requirement:
MC(A
SIS: Customer,Inc.Orders - Selection
MC+A
SIS: Customer Returns, Selection
MC+E
SIS: Customer, Sales - Selection
MC+I
SIS: Customer Credit Memos - Selec.

Hi Gurus,

If through COMMON DIVISION , this problem is resolved please explain ,How means step. Because i want to assinge min 10 sales area to asingle plant means may be have to create common division funada, But how I m not getting.
Please Reply ASAP.
Devdatta Joshi

Dear Joshi,
1.First you do the common divisions and distribution channels through the t.codes VOR1 and VOR2.
2. You assign common sales area to the suppliying plant which you have difined in the common divisions and distribution channels.
i.e you maintain one division and one distribution channel as reference to all other divisions and distribution channels.
3.The purpose of the assigning sales area data to suppliying plant is, we are allowing the system to sale or transferinmg the goods from that suppliying palnt.
I hope it will help you
Thanks,
Murali.

Dear Friends,
i need of your help in finding out the proper tables in CRM for the BP Master -- Sales Area data(Region, Sales District, Sales Office, Business Partner Code, Business Partner Name
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can check table BUT000 for BP general data.
For Org data check CRMD_ORGMAN and BUT100 for Roles.
I think these are sufficient for the fields mentioned from your side, if it doesn't suffice let me know.

IDoc error "customer and sales area : GR could not be uniquely determined"

Hi All,
While posting some IDocs i am getting error customer and sales area : GR could not be uniquely determined even when entries are available in EDSDC table.
Please assist.

Double check your entries. Once I ended up even sending a message to SAP and turned out there was a simple typo in the table.
Also since you're saying "some IDocs" - check how exactly they are different from those that don't have this error.

Adding new field to Customer master sales data area sales tab

Hello everyone,
I am new to module pool so seeking some help from experts here.
I have a requirement were in I have to add a new field to the customer master (VB02) sales area data sales tab.
I found that there is no screen exit.Is there any other way of doing it?
could you please provide me with a step by step procedure of doing it.
With Regards,
Karishma.

Hi,
How did you look for screen exit? Have you also tried it in BADI? 'Coz normally, adding custom fields to a standard screen has to be implemented in exits.
I haven't worked with VB* screens yet so I can not give you a some possible exits. But you can do some debugging. I think there's an available code in the net that searches for exits/screen exit (ask Mr.Google). You can also ask him how to search BADI in debugging mode. I remember it's TCode SE24 then look for cl_exithandler class, get_instance method. Then look for exit_name variable.
Hope this helps.

Deleting Partners from the Customer Master that are on Open Sales Orders.

Does SAP handle removing the Partner from Open Sales Orders when a Partner is deleted in the Customer Master. For us, this is not happening, this there some config that must be turned on for this to happen ?
Or do we have place in code in a User Exit in the Customer Master to check for Open Sales Orders and if so, block the Deleting of the Partner ? If so, what User Exit should be used ?
Looking to see how others have handled this.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Try this user exit.

Customer Master/Sales Order

Hi Guru's i have a requirment for my client.
My Client produces Materials (in liquid or plastic form) that it later sells to its customers and Distributors for end use products e.g in ( footware, tape, Paving roads). My client would like in the Customer Master, to map its customers by the end use how can i do this in the customer master? or sales order?
The other challenging thing comes about when my Client sells to Distributors who later sell this product to other customers for end use- how can i map the Distributors since i don't know the custmers they'll sell to and the end use of product.

Hi
You can use different fields avaialble in the customer master data - sales area data....that are used for grouping of customers. You can use two different fields for meeting your two requirements. I donot remember the exact naming of those fields and hence I could not provide the field names.
Regarding the nature of the business of your customers...whether they are wholesalers or retailers or endusers....it is the reponsibility of the client to provide you the details and it is not our headache to find out those details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Customer Master Sales Texts

I'm trying to configure the customer master so that the same sales texts (Extras->Texts in Xd02) that show up in one sales org / distchan (for example 10/10) also show up up in a different one. For some reason when creating/modifying a customer in a different sales org / dist channel (for example 30/30), these texts do not show up for editting. Any ideas?
Thanks,
MK

I would just say it is not possible to do what you want.
The texts are stored with key:
customer number, sales org, distribution channel. (and some more key fields)
So whenever a number changes a new record needs to be stored. This way each Sales area can have their own texts.
I understand that you dont want it this way, but It is not just the sales order that gets somehow the text from the master data. Several other programs would need to be changed to make your wish come true.
Imagine: you enter a customer master with Customer number 1234 and sales org 0001 and DC 10, but exact this XD03 transaction shall now use
Customer number 1234 and sales org 0002 and DC 20 to retrieve the text. This is not possible.
Much easier it is to develope a small program that copies the long text from one sales area to another (scheduled in background to run every night or hour)

I have created four account groups - SP ,SH, PY & BP respectively.
