Group Key for IN customers?

Hi Friends,
While creating a customer using XD01 for country INDIA "IN", the message I get while saving is
" All "IN" customers should have a group key ". However, I am able to create the custmer when I give other country like "DE". Incase I do that for the sake of completing the master record, I am not able to post the billing document to accounting. Its pointing out at incomplete export data.
What is this Group Key and where do we maintain it?

Hi,
Group key can be given in "Control Tab" in Customer General data
Group key : If the customer or the vendor belongs to a group, you can enter a group key here. The group key is freely assignable.
If you create a matchcode using this group key, group evaluations are possible.
Please let me know if you have any concerns,
Hope understood and assign points if you get through.
Thanks,
Vasu..

Grouping Key

Hi Gurus,
I was create a Grouping Key 02. This GK was stored in the master record of the vendor. But, does not work the way i expect it to.
In the Grouping Key; in the frame of "Fields for grouping payments" i put only the field LIFNR. This means that in the payment program' i want to group the Open Item by vendor. But doesnt work
Can anyone explain to me what happens or if something is missing/
Tks.

Hi,
The grouping key represents a rule according to which the open items of Vendor accounts are to be grouped together for payment/ Dunning. For creation of Grouping key for dunning, T code is OBAQ and for payment grouping T code is OBAP. By these T codes you can create the Grouping Keys and assign these keys at the time of creation of Vendor Master. So while running the report for payment/ dunning, you can extract the report by Grouping Keys.
You can get the vendor line item reports by Grouping Keys.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have you initialized the planning area for the 11th key figure to be loaded. Make sure that the key figure which you want to load is initialized for the planning version for the respective planning area.
Also check the loading period inside the variant is within the planning area initialized period for that key figure. And make sure that you have made the key figure assignment for the info cube and planning area inside the variant.
thanks and regards

F110 - Grouping key

Hello,
Requirement is like: when we do F110, payment should be done by Vendor and PO no. means
Vendor1     PO no 1     RE document 1        for this three invoice document only one payment doc
                                     RE document 2
                                     RE document 3
Vendor1     PO no 2     RE document 1        for this two invoice document only one payment doc
                                     RE document 2
I have used the grouping key in vendor master but still system is posting one payment document only because Vendor is one only.
If we maintain the grouping key then in vendor master then from where the key is getting fetch.

Amit mistry

Hi Amit,
It is not possible to group by the purchasing document number in standard.
Please review notes 305414 and 164835 for further info regarding the grouping of documents. Grouping is done based on the fields in structure ZHLG1.
Also to define grouping key in OBAP, check the fields available, PO number is not part of this.
In general as explained in note 152335, the display of the purchasing document number for customers/vendors via the line item display is not possible. However, you can branch from the vendors/customers line item display into the document overview and there display the purchasing document number for the individual G/L account line items. Since it is not filled in the vendor line item the same cannot be used for grouping etc.
Hope this information helps.
Kind Regards

Starter Pack now includes 60 day Eval product key for SLES

Q1: What is the Starter Pack?
The Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition Starter Pack is a product that provides a Customer with a no-cost, one-time, 5-user license for Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition. This is not a trial or evaluation license but a full product license.
Q2: Am I required to purchase Maintenance with the Starter Pack?
No!
Q3: Are all the NOWS SBE components and add-on products included with the Starter Pack?
No. Maintenance is required to obtain some of the component products and product updates. At one point there was a list of the additional products that were available to customers who purchased maintenance but I am unable to locate it, perhaps because NOWS SBE licenses can now only be purchased with maintenance.
Q4: What is the issue regarding product keys for SLES?
When NOWS SBE is installed, customers are required to enter product keys for each of these three products: NOWS SBE, OES, and SLES.
Product keys are normally included with most products when the product is delivered however SLES product keys work a little bit differently. A SLES product key allows access to patches and updates and is provided when a customer purchases maintenance. Novell will provide a temporary 60-day "Eval" product key when a customer downloads an Eval copy of SLES. This subtle distinction goes unnoticed when NOWS SBE is delivered because NOWS SBE licenses can only be purchased with maintenance.
Novell now delivers the Starter Pack with a 60-day Eval product key for SLES to allow customers to complete the NOWS SBE installation without having to purchase maintenance.
Q5: What do I do if I need licenses for more than 5 users?
Simply purchase as many additional groups of 5-user NOWS SBE licenses as you need. For example, if you had ten users, you could purchase the Starter Pack plus one additional 5-user NOWS SBE license.
Note: Since NOWS SBE 5-user licenses can only be purchased with maintenance and customers with maintenance must purchase maintenance for all licenses, you would be required (in this case) to purchase maintenance for the 5-user license obtained with the Starter Pack.
Q6: How do I get the Starter Pack? <customer>
Your Novell Reseller can provide additional information and order it for you. Some conditions apply.
Q7: How do I get the Starter Pack? <reseller>

Sideload keys for windows rt surface LOB deployment

Hi, we are a small group and are looking to internally deploy a small number of LOB apps within our company to windows RT surface tablets. We only need about 5-10 sideload keys. Microsoft said that resellers can sell them in small packs (say 10), but
that Microsoft only sells them in 100 packs. We are small and only need about 10. Does anyone know of a reseller who does this.
Thanks.

Also starting May 1, 2014, other customers who want to enable sideloading will be able to purchase an Enterprise Sideloading key for $100 through the Open License program.
An unlimited number of devices can be enabled for sideloading using this key.

F110 Grouping Key Issue

I have 3 open items for a vendor - 2 credit memos (with 1000 and 600 amounts ) and one invoice (with amount 600). In the current situation, these items are not offset against each other as they have different payment methods, payment supplement code etc etc. The only common factor between these items is the company code and the vendor number.
And the current requirement is that, only these 2 fields - company code and vendor number need to be considered in offsetting the open items and all the other fields including the payment method etc should be ignored. So, after some research - I figured out that there is something called a grouping key that can be set in the configuration using transaction OBAP. I set the grouping key in OBAP. And this grouping key needs to be used in the vendor master screen for payments for that particular vendor so that all the other parameters will be overridden by this grouping key. FYI..I set this grouping key 02 to use only the vendor number.
Technically.. SAP says this should work. They also say that if it does not work, go and generate the program RSZGR000 as this program contains the respective code to make the payment run program understand that the grouping key is the overriding factor. So, I generated this program too and made sure the code exists. This grouping key is populated in the structure ZHLG1-PAYGR and the payment run program is supposed to understand that this is the overriding field for offsetting the invoices against credit memos. I debugged the payment run proposal and saw that it is populating this field in the structure.
So, I do all this and yet, my open items are not cleared using JUST the Company & vendor. It is still looking for the other fields like payment methods, supplment code etc.
I was looking up at the note 164835 and found that for automatic payment transactions the following fields need to be same for the documents that are being offset with each other: Currency, Receiver, Payment Mthod in the Item and Bank Details in the item.
I was assuming that once the grouping key is populated and used, all the other fields above should be ignored for offsetting.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated!!

I do not think that is the issue here. The issue here is that the payment methods are different for these invoices/cedit memos. One of the Credit Memo's has a blank payment method. So, the automatic payment program is not picking that document with blank payment method.
Invoice 1 has payment method C
Credit Memo 1 has payment method S
Credit Memo 2has payment method as blank
There is an option in the Automatic Payment Transactions screen where you enter the company code and payment methods. In the payment methods, we can enter multiple ones - so, I added S and C, but there is no way to tell the program to pick documents with blank payment methods too.
That is why the Credit memo2 is left out and not settled with other documents.
Please let me know if there is a way out for this.

How to Decativate the Grouping key in Vendor Master?

Hello All,
I'm trying to create a Vendor from the transaction code FK01, I fill up all the details and when i come to the dinning part of the master it does let me save the vendor and asks for a "Valid Grouping Key"....i have checked with spro setting for Define Layout per company code (Vendor), there the radio button is at OPTIONAL for Dunning Area.
How can i get the system saving the vendor without asking me for a Grouping Key?
Thanks,
