Location of Indian Tax IDs in Customer Master Record.

We are enabling India as company code/sales organization. One of the requirements put upon us is to carry 2 tax id numbers on the customer master and at the transaction level. We are being requested to carry a CST (Central Sales Tax) id and a VAT tax id. I am using the VAT registration field kna1-STCEG which is 20 characters long. The business is telling us that they need the CST to be 25 characters. Our original intent was to store it in kna1-STCD1, however this field is only 16 characters long. The business is telling us that the validity years need to be appended to the tax id number which pushes it over the alloted 16 characters. Has anyone else run into this, if so what was the chosen method.

Hi,
I had the same problem in my previous implementation. If the tax condition types in your customer master and material master are not in the same sequence, then your condition records would not behave properly. They would either throw out some junk values or multiple condition types may appear in your sales order.
To over come this, I have made the sequence of the condition types in material master through OVK1 T.code as the same order as the customer master condition types.
This resolved my problem and the condition records were correctly picked.
By doing this your issue also would be resolved. Please update the forum if you still face issues or if you use a different method to over ride this.

Rohan Gudavalli

  • Maintain Sales Tax Exemption Certificate info in Customer Master Record

    Hello people!
    I really need your help in this one: we are going to implement SAP in a company settled in Canada. The users requested us that it is highly important to maintain Tax exemption certificate for GST (GST is "Goods and sales tax" -- not withholding) in the customer master record.
    I couldn't find anything in SAP to store this info in the Customer Master Record... have you ever had this issue before? is there a workaround? We are not using any external tax system (for example: Vertex). Any information is useful. Thanks in advance. Maria.

    Hi Maria,
    I was going through how GST works and I think you can create Tax codes under withholding tax and use the same as withholding tax.
    As per my understanding of GST, all your process can be met...
    However, for reports because there is no standard avail, you would need to develop reports..
    Hope this helps..
    Cheers,

  • Vendor in Customer Master Record

    Hi,
    Need to make the tie between vendor and customer. I could not find any fields in the customer master record (XD01 / XD02 / XD03) for this purpose. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    The vendor link is located on the customer master in General Data --> Control Tab.  It is at the top under account control.  As the previous poster mentioned, if you are not seeing it is because it is supressed and you need to open it up through config.
    The config is located in the following area:  Financiall Accounting >Accounts Recivable / AP> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Prep for creating customer master data --> define account groups with screen layout
    Kind Regards,

  • Customer master record

    well, i m new in sap..may i know what is customer hirarchy, how does it work...and how to configure it in the system?

    Hi,
    CUSTOMER HIERARCHY:
    Customer hierarchies are available in Sales and Distribution, so that you can create flexible hierarchies to reflect the structure of customer organizations. If your customer base includes multi-level buying groups, cooperatives, or chains of retail outlets, for example, you can create hierarchies to reflect the structure of these groups. Use customer hierarchies during sales order processing and billing for determining pricing and running statistics.
    A customer hierarchy consists of nodes.
    To create a customer hierarchy:
    1. Create master records for each node.
    2. Assign the nodes to each other.
    3. Assign the customer master records to the relevant nodes.
    Hierarchy nodes are only valid for a certain period of time. They may also be moved. If a node is moved, the system automatically reassigns all related nodes and customer master records.
    With customer hierarchies, you can assign price or rebate agreements to a higher level node. The agreements are then valid for customer’s at all subordinate levels to this node. You can create pricing condition records for each node indicated as relevant for pricing. If one or more nodes in the hierarchy path of a sales order contain pricing information, the system takes them into account automatically during pricing.
    'How to check'
    All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
    All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
    1) Define hierarchy type: just put and ID and a name to the new hierarchy.
    2) Set partner determination: if you want to user the hierarchy in price determination, then, in the orders, at the header level, you have to have a Partner Procedure with a partner function for each level. In the partner procedure, in each partner function you must indicate the source partner function. With this information, in the order, you obtain the business partner for each partner function.
    3) Assign account groups: you indicate which accounts groups are allowed for being part or your hierarchy.
    4) Assign sales areas: simple you indicate which sales areas are allowed in your hierarchy. (Here you can customize common sales areas, just for not having to build de hierarchy in all the different sales areas).
    5) Assigning hierarchy type for pricing: you indicate which classes of documents uses hierarchy in pricing determination.
    It is possible to maintain so called customer hierarchies. This might be useful when for example you create a condition discount for a customer that is part of such a hierarchy structure. All subnodes in the hierarchy below that customer, will thus receive the same discount.
    Customer hierarchy setup, firstly decide the hierarchy type to be used.
    The standard is type A.
    You can also assign a partner function to the customer so that the higher level customer in the hierarchy is copied into a sales order as a partner function - but you don't need that right?
    Next assign your customer account group to the hierarchy type. And enter the combinations that will be allowed for creating the hierarchy.
    You want to assign a ship-to to a payer. So enter the ship to account group and enter the payer account group as the higher level.
    You must also make an entry for permitted sales area assignments. So if you want to a hierarchy for customers in the same sales area then enter the sales area and enter the same one as the higher level sales area.
    All these settings can be found in the IMG. Under SD - master data - business partners - customers - customer hierarchy
    You use for example customer hierarchy when you have an company like Unilever and you agree both on a discount. Unilever does have different locations / businesses and you have to maintain the discount for all customers. If you use a customer hierarchy you can maintain the discount for the partner in the top of the hierarchy and in this way it will be valid for all customers in the hierarchy.
    Please go through the following links,

  • R/3 4.7 Customer Master records replicated to SRM Business Partner

    Hi Gurus,
    Does SRM 5.0 provide any ability to replicate R/3 4.7 Customer Master records across to any SRM Business Partner that we may choose to define?
    Our particular scenario is that some of our R/3 SD Customer records represent polling locations (this is specific to the local government offices in our SAP public sector solution). The solution would need to allow for any R/3 updates to be auto replicated across to SRM.
    Any insights on how this could be acheived would be valuable.
    Thankyou.
    Mikey.

  • How to change Number range to Contact Person in Customer Master Record

    Dear all,
    We are maintaining contact person details under contact person tab in customer master record.
    Currently contact person is being created using VAP1 transaction.
    Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?
    and where can we change the number range of contact person.
    I have searched a lot to find the solution for this. Please help me to resolve this issue. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Best regards
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    To your first question: "Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?"
    Yes, you can enter the contact person directly in the customer master in the contact person tab. A number is generated automatically.
    To your second question, go to transaction SNUM, and there use object "PARTNER". Here you can configure number range for contact persons.
    Hope this helps,

  • Account Group and partner functions in customer master records

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help to confirm the following understand if correct:
    1. To create customer master record for partner function Ship-To, need to create a customer master record using the uniquely assigned account group for Ship-To , that is, 0002 . In this ship-to master record, define in its partner function tab, the other partner functions related to it. 
    2. To create the above, it cannot be achieved by just assigning the partner functions in the partner function tab of SOLD-To customer master record , created using account group 0001.
    Question:
    1. How does the system know or allow what codes a user can select (f4) or enter manually when defining in customer master record's partner function tab, the partner functions and their respective codes?
    How is this controlled? Is it by user authorization? or will user / sales administrator be able to select any codes tied to a partner function?
    2. Lets say there are 2 partner functions : Sales employee VE and 9E called Sales Representative. Both of these partner functions are of Partner Type PE.
    When defining in customer master record's partner function tab, how does the system know what codes is selectable for the administrator for each of these partner functions?
    best regards
    M Russo

    hi russo,
    this is to inform you that,
    1. yes you are right.
    2. you need to follow the steps as you said.
    Question:
    1. that you can find in the search basing on account group for partners.  that assignment we should know russo which SH to be assigned to which SP.  no need to have authorization for that, make a note of the list of SH and SP to be assigned that's all.
    yes, he will able to select any SH from the list but make sure that we assign the correct SH to the list of SP.
    2. that you will be defining it in Partner Determination Procedures.  at the time of CMR creation you have to select the correct code that will get populated in sales order.
    hope this clears your issue.

  • Restrict the creation of customer master records at sales area level

    I know that you can supress fields at the company code and sales area level in customer master, but, is there a way in configuration to restrict the creation of a customer master record at the company code and sales area levels?  Only the general data level is needed for this customer account group. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi
    Create the Customer Master without entering the Company Code and sales Area. The system will allow and ask you to fill only the General Data.
    The other way is that Create a Account Group and suppress its all Fields of Accounting View and Sales Area View, so that for that account group you will have to maitain only the General view.

  • How to change the field sequence in Customer master record.

    Dear Friends,
    We are required to chage the sequence of customer master record fields that are available under different tabs of 'General Data', 'Company Code Data' and Sales Area Data.
    Our client requirement is to place all mandatory fields in the first screen of customer master record. Here the intention is to save the user time instead going and clicking multiple tabs/screens to fill information on only one or two tabs. Please suggest us the availabe solution in SAP for this requirement.
    Thank you
    Raghu Ram.

    Hi
    Step 1: Take help of a FI guy and:
    The fields can be suppressed by configuring through Financial accounting > Business Partners > Customers > Account groups.
    Step2 : The challenge inyou project is to have a single tab with the allowed fields
    A technical guy can only help you out on this . Again This would be a huge effort since first you need to change the code for customer master. As customer master is a source of data for various documents in SD , at each place you will have to do changes in th code...I don't think it is feasible.
    Instead of doing this , create an external interface for transferring the value to SAP through BAPI. this would involve integration and may be as per defined SAP standards you can use CSV files or XML files for the integration process.
    This would be a better option than fiddling with SAP system

  • Facing Problem in creation on Customer Master Record with reference

    Lokking forward for your quick response on the same.
    Regards
    Parul Deshwal

    Hi Parul Deshwal,
    - The number range is created in XDN1.
    - The number range is assigned to the account group "Stock Transfer - Depot" in SAP Customizing Implementation Guide>Financial Accounting>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Customer Accounts>Master Data>Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data>Assign Number Ranges to Customer Account Groups
    Remember - If you are entering an external number it generally means the number is created in an external system and replicated to your system.
    Help - Check what external number was used last by doing SE16 on table KNA1 and use the account group "Stock Transfer - Depot" as a selection parameter.
    Best regards,

  • Automaticaly create customer master record

    Hi, can you create customer master record from employee data (HR) like you do with RPRAPA00 for vendors?

    Hello Madhu, can you elaborate your affirmation? I can only find references for vendors in that program and I need CUSTOMER master data creation. The documentation you mention does not clarify this or any identical functionality for customers!

  • Create customer master record with reference

    Hello guys,
    I'm trying to create a customer master record with reference using XD01 (existing in the referent company code only) but no data are copied at the general level of the customer (not only the address data but also these contained in KNA1). Is there something I can do in order to get the referent data?
    Thanks

    Only data that does not refer directly to the customer/vendor is copied from the reference account to the new account, that is,no address information, and so on.
