Duplicate Customer IDs

Hello,
I've created a report that includes customer IDs, there are some that are duplicated but I need to supress them and just show one instead of 5. Any ideas how this can be done?
Thanks.

if that doesnt work, and usually doesnt
create a group by customer id
place the fields pertaining to the customer in the group header
a group header returns the first unique value of a record, if it is dupd this will only display one.

How to restrict Duplicate Customer Creation in SAP

Dear all,
How can we restrict duplicate customer creation in SAP SD.
We are into retail sector, across the store customers are being created by different employees.
in this way for many customers more than one business partner records are being created.
we are looking for a sytem wise functionality to restrict the customer master creation (for Sold to party only) if name1, telephone number and street field values are same, then system has to stop customer creation by giving an error message.
Is there any standard functionality to address these requirement. If so how could we configure it.
Any of you can help us to solve the issue. your solutions and help will be highly appreciated.
thank you.

Hi,
2 solutions :
- Procedure manually (no SAP) ;
- Use extension SAP (SMOD : SAPMF02D) to check with differents data before recording.
No solution in standard.

How to include a new field for checking duplicate customer master

Dear All
we have activated the standard procedure to check duplicate customer master data. This is a standard procedure as below :-
Procedure:
Run SM30, key in Table V_T100C, select Display or Maintain, set App area F2. Here you can change current settings.
Check the transaction OBMSG for application area F2, where these messages are maintained and at this place you can convert the message from warning to error.e user needs one more field to be added to this check.
It is working perfectly fine but it only compares two fields for duplicates in the customer master i.e the customer city and name.
Is there a way to include a new field in this procedure ? For example we also want the system to check duplicate entries for field name " street 5" and give a warning /error message incase if there is another entry already existing on the master data.
regards,

Hi
Use the enhancement SAPMF02D to check these values.

U can change radio button option in per document tab of document settings for sales order,
Either change it to without warning / warning only When duplicated customer reference no. occurs.
Modify customer reference number by including dot at end.

Anychart bar graphs - Can we map colors to customer IDs in JSON/XML dynamically?

Hi,
We are using the Anychart bar graphs to show our customers data. We need to be able to map colors to customer IDs, so that anytime we use a bar chart a customer will aways be the same color.
Example: if one view shows 3 customers (cust ABC is maroon, XYZ is yellow and DXA is blue) and a second view, because of the data, shows 12 customers, that if 2 that are in the first view are also showing they would have the same colors as they did in the first view (cust ABC is still maroon and cust DXA is still blue and if XYZ is not in the second view then Yellow would not be present)
Is there a way to map the colors to the customers in an XREF table then build the JSON or XML dynamically and use that in the graph each time?
I have found the Anychart site and it looks like it is possible but was wondering if anyone has done it? Otherwise it looks like it is going to be to time consuming to read everything I would have to read.
Thank you,
Bill

Duplicate File IDs showing up in multiple post offices

We have come across a strange issue. Several users are missing their file IDs. We looked at the user databases and found duplicate file IDs spread across multiple post offices. Joe Smith might have file ID aba in Post Office One while Bob Jones would have the same file ID in Post Office Two. Is this normal? What would happen if we had to move a user from one post office to the other with a duplicate ID.? How can we fix this?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris Toledo

My boss sez "Whew"
My backup email admin sez "Whew"
I sez "Whew and Thank You very much"

As for moving a user, if their current fid already exists within the
target po, then they will get a new unused one as part of the move process.
So, there is nothing really to fix

Content generation error. [Error: Duplicate overlay IDs are not allowed]

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm creating a hidden navigation menu that has buttons for showing and hiding it. When the menu is on, there are a number of buttons grouped together in one of the states. It works when I preview with the preview tool, but when I try to preview through Folio Builder I get the error message: Content generation error. [Error: Duplicate overlay IDs are not allowed]
All of my multi-state objects have unique names, as do buttons and layers and I still get this error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christopher

Attached are screenshots of my layers palette, object states and buttons. I noticed in the layers palette, after I've made the menu into a multi-state object there's a sub-group called "normal" that's showing up in my layers palette. Could this be it?

The pins don't stay there, but you can bookmark pin positions, and then drop a pin on the desired customer's location by selecting the customer from the bookmarks list.

Blocking of Duplicate Customer Ref Number in AR Invoice

Good Morning Experts,
Just want to know how to block duplicate customer reference number in AR Invoice Entry. System is currently give message that "Customer ref number already exists in this document type..".
My set up for Document Remarks Include in Document Settings is BP Reference Number. Is there any additional set up that needs to be done so that system will block duplicate reference number?
Version SAP 2007A

Thanks

Hi
You can try this sp_transaction notification : Copy the given code to store procedure sp_transaction notification where it says --add code here
if (@object_type = '13' or @object_type = '15')
and (@transaction_type= 'A' or @transaction_type= 'U')
begin
declare @venno as varchar(100)
if @object_type = '15'
begin
select @venno = NumAtCard
from opdn
where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
if 1 != (select count(docentry) from ODLN with(nolock) where NumAtCard = @venno)
begin
select @error = 1
select @error_message = 'Duplicate Customer ref no in SO Receipts. ! '
end
end
else
if @object_type = '13'
begin
select @venno = NumAtCard
from opch
where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
if 1 != (select count(docentry) from OINV with(nolock) where NumAtCard = @venno)
begin
select @error = 2
select @error_message = 'Duplicate vendor ref no in AR Invoices. ! '
end
end
end
This will block the transaction when you have duplicate customer reference . It will let you put same customer reference in Sales order but it will block from delivery
<b>Please test it in test environment </b>
Thank you

Duplicate Customer Ref No (Sales Order)

Dear Experts....
Can the system keep track of duplicate Customer Reference No during Sales Order Entry ?
At least a warning message to the user that the SAME reference No has been entered for the same Business Partner (BP).
Reason : Sometime the BP sends the same order twice without knowing the same order has been made before and we cant always keep checking whether the existing reference exist or not...
Please advise.
TQ
Cheers....
TOMMY

I tried using your suggestion but can not find the setting you are referring to.
When I click on the per document tab and select sales order i only get theses options.
Default days for order cancellation
Allow changesd to existing orders
Activate availability check
Sales order approved
We are on 2007 PL 47.
IS the option available in this version to give a warning when a duplicate reference number for a BP is entered?
Thanks

Duplicate Customer Master Records

First thanks for taking the time to read this post. I have always been part of the school of thought of maintaining a common distribution channel for customers. I recently started with a company that has duplicate customer master records. These are customer with the same address, etc. They have been created in some cases four times to accommodate 4 different sales offices, etc for commissions or reporting. I want to propose imrpovement in their system to have one customer instead. Is there any SAP functionality which I can use to have only 1 customer but with 4 different sales offices. I know there is no scope of defining more than sales office in customer master record. I thought of one option to propose TEXT Determination with which I can create a text for the user while creating sales order that this customer has 4 sales offices and allow user to manually enter sales office in sales order. But is there any better option you think of?
I am trying to dictate the best reasons for maintaining one customer and allowing other factors to control the sales office or partner assignments. I would appreciate any arguments and points you may have as to why you do not want duplicate master records. I.e. system performance, time saved in maintenance.

Dear Mohit,
In Customer Master - Sales Area Data go to Extras - Additional Data.
Here SAP has given five free feilds for any required use. They are under Tab Customer Group.
You can also change the feild description in CMOD. (you can name it Sales Off 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, etc...)
These feild can be activated in:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Master Data - Business Partners - Customers - Sales - Maintain Reserve Fields In Customer Master.
Hope this helps.. .
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

How do I duplicate custom print layouts across multiple pages?

Hi there, brand new to LR. Using a Macbook Air.
I understand that in order to print 3 4x6 images on one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper I need to create a Custom Package Layout and then manually drag and drop each photo into a cell. That's fine, I've created one page that meets my needs (has crop marks, leaves space between photos, etc.) and dragged and dropped my photos.
The issue comes in because I basically want to print 19 pages of this exact same layout but with different photos. Is there a way to copy and paste (or duplicate or something) the format from the first page of my template? So far it seems like I'll have to manually recreate the template on every page, then go back and add the photos.
Thanks!

It is probably easiest to create a single page template and save it as a User Template. You will still have to go a page at a time and drag the pictures in one-by-one but you won't have to recreate the template over and over again.
I don't see an elegant solution for you, Sorry.

Duplicate customer invoice through Tcode FB70

Hello all,
How can I control the duplication of customer invoices posted in FI via FB70.
My customer's auditors consider a risk if the system lets them post 2 invoices for customers with the same Reference number.
How it can be checked if the reference number already exists in table BKPF for another document?
I have found out that it would be possible to use a validation? But I have no idea how it should look like?
Can anybody help me with this or give me some hints?
Thank you.
Daniel Nicula

Hi,
You need to write a validation for the same.
That way you can give a warning message or a error message so that a duplicate invoice is stopped from posting..
Check if this helps.
