PLZ provide Scenarios pertaining Customer Hierarchy..

Hi All,
Can u plz provide/explain the Business scenarios pertainng Customer Hierarchy which cna be configured.
I have configured the basic settings pertaining Customer hierarchy but want to know where all is it used.
THNX in advance,
Subbz..

hi,
One use of customer hierarchy is in pricing
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.
reward if helpful
thanks,

  • Customer Hierarchy download in CRM7.0 Web UI

    Hi Experts
    Need your expert advice on the below issue:
    We are using customer hierarchy from ECC to SAP CRM7.0 for one of our client. I have performed the below steps to bring ECC customer hierarchy to CRM.
    SAP ECC System:
    1.Hierarchy node is created thru tcode- v-12
    2.Customer hierarchy is created thru tcode- VDH1N
    Replication steps in CRM:
    1.Replicate Customer Hierarchy Customizing thru TCode- R3AS, download object DNL_CUST_THIT .
    2.Assign ERP Customer Hier. to CRM hierarchy category in SPRO .
    3.Replicate Customer Hier thru Tcode u2013R3AS , download object DNL_BUPA_KNVH.
    4.Create account hierarchy thru Tcode- BPH_DNL , we need to create the hierarchy only for the sales area 0001,01,01.  So I have selected sales the required sales area only.
    5.I checked in web ui  and found the result for account hierarchies.
    Current Result:
    a.ECC hierarchy downloaded, however descriptions for the hierarchy nodes are missing in CRM web ui.
    b.Customer assigned to ECC hierarchy can be seen in the u201CAccount Hierarchy Detailsu201D assignment block , however I could not see the customers in u201C Assigned Accountsu201D assignment block.
    6.Expected Result :
    a.ECC hierarchy display with description in u201C Account Hierarchy Detailsu201D assignment block.
    b.Display customeru2019s information in u201C Assigned Accountsu201D assignment block.
    Can anybody support and provide the information if we are missing any configuration step ? or the result is the correct behavior of standard system ?
    I would really appreciate your help on this.
    Regards
    Satish Rikhi

    Hi Tanya
    My issue is got sovled with SAP note 1398619 .However, for the second issue there is no finding.
    I am assuming ,that is standard SAP CRM behaviour , if we assign any account in crm , that will be shown in the assignment block.

  • Pricing not determined based on Customer hierarchy

    Hi All,
    I searched the forum for the specific issue, but could not find a proper solution.
    I have a specific scenario where we are migrating from 4.6C to 6.0.  The hierarchy is already maintained in 6.0 version in a way which we need to adopt it.  The level 1 in 4.6 C would become level 5 in ECC 6.0.  The pricing procedure is adopted as per the 4.6C version where the key field for discounts are maintained as Customer hierarchy level 1 as level 1, now when we are raising a sales order, for none of the levels the price is  getting determined, even though the price determination field is checked in the customer master.  The system says initialized field, it is not able to trigger the HIENR01, HIENR02, HIENR03 field, even though the pricing records are maintained.
    Looking for your feedback.
    Thanks & Regards
    Aravind

    Aravind,
      Even though the price determination field is checked in the customer master. The hierarchy may be out of sync. You can verify this by looking at table KNVH for 1 of your hierarchy nodes and viewing field prfre. This is required to = X for the hierarchy fields to be populated during order entry. If you find that it is blank and out of sync with the customer master, then you need to go into Process Customer Hierachy(VDH1N), enter your highest level node and execute, Once in the maintenance view of the hierarchy, click in menu hierarchy-> Update programs-> All; this will sync up the hierarchy from the customer master and make these pricing relevant. You can verify in this screen as well by looking at the 'Relevant for Pricing' flag is set. Hope this helps.

  • Customer Hierarchy and Contract

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement - where my client has a customer who is globally located .....every year the Customer Head office gives a contract to my client and the contract is valid across his offices located globally...say one office in UK,one in US,one in Australia.....Referring to the same contracts orders have to be created for the UK ,US customer like wise.
    And every time a slaes order is created based on the order from the UK/US customers the qty has to get decreased from the same contract.
    Pl share some idea on how to go with this.
    Cheers
    Ivy

    Hi,
    As per info. given in the question,There are two levels in Customer's org as far as
    Global Head quarter of customer  is SP for Contract and it's country branches are  SH
    or
    Global Head quarter of customer  is SP for Contract and it's country branches are  SP for release order.
    [Authorized partners to release the contract|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/dd/55fdbb545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm]
    Depending on the scenario you can configure.
    In T-code V0V8 you need to select appropriate partner authorization rule in contract section of contract doc.type.
    You need to define partner determination procedure for contract.-In customizing  Sales-Basic function-Partner determination-set up partner determination.
    You need to maintain customer hierarchy master data.V-12

  • Materials provided by the customer to produce Assembly

    Dear All,
    How to handle this scenario "material provided by the customer" . my client produces the base component and to pack the base component the client's customer  is providing the packing materials with free of charge.
    There is a  indicator available in bill of material whether the material provided by the vendor or material provided by the customer.
    The issue is currently the material provided by the customer is not active in SAP.
    Is there any other way to handle the  above scenario.?
    Expert comments will be rewarded
    Thanks &  Regards,
    Irshad

    Dear Irshad,
    Whatever material comes in have to be counted. You can create it as non valuated, but a stock material-material type UNBW
    Assign this material in BOM.
    When you receive the material, I hope you receive through some PO with ZERO pirce, then do the GR.
    If you are getiing it w/o PO, you can receive it through 501

  • Authorized Partners for Release Orders with customer hierarchy

    Hello everyone,
          I have created a value contract with order type WK1, in the order type WK1 configuration, choose rule B  for check partner auth. field, namely we want to use
    customer hierarchy to detemine the sold-to-party for the follow-up release order. Also I have created the customer hierarchy with hierarchy type A. There are
    four levels under this hierarchy, it contains four customer nodes and four customers. Every customer is belong to a customer node. The partner determination
    for the customer hierarchy have alredy done, I can see the customer hierarchy "1D" at the partner tab of header in the contract, but when I release the sales
    order against  the contract, input a low-level customer number, still got the message "partner X is not authorized to release from contracts.".
         I want to know if I missed some settings in order type configuration or the copy control from WK1 to OR. If this scenario need integrate with  CRM system?  I
    have found some related information, just list below:
        Partners in the hierarchy (Rule B)
    If the partner who wants to release against the contract is the sold-to party of the contract or at a lower level in customer hierarchy to the sold-to party in the contract, the system accepts the partner as the sold-to party for the release order.
    If rule B is defined for the contract type, you can search for authorized partners for a release order using the contract number. Equally, you can search for the relevant contract for a release order using the partner number. In this case, the partner authorization rule is irrelevant.
    Prerequisites
    If you wish to use group hierarchies other than pricing hierarchies to determine authorized partners, you must have created a hierarchy category and a hierarchy:
    To create the hierarchy category, go to Customizing for CRM under Master Data --> Business Partner-->  Business Partner Group Hierarchy. 
    To create the group hierarchy, go to the SAP Easy Access Menu and choose Master Data --> Business Partners --> Maintain Group Hierarchy.
    Note that you can only create group hierarchies in the SAP GUI and not in the People-Centric user interface.
    You must have activated the necessary settings for the sales contract and the release order in the IMG for CRM. For more information, see Transactions ---> Settings for Contracts -->Define Settings for Authorized Partners.
      Thanks!

  • Rebate agreement with customer hierarchy

    Hi,
    I want to use customer hierarchy for customer rebates where in the accrual rate with scales shall be maintained only the high level customer. Invoice values of all the subordinate customers should e accrued using this rebate agreement.
    Have learnt about extended rebate agreement functionality wherein such a scenario can be adopted.
    Looking for a solution immediately to meet the week end deadline for POC.
    Regards,
    Rajesh Mohapatra

    Thanks Veera !!
    In this case my rebate receiptant is one only.
    I am trying to use a customer hierarchy node (scaled down customer code w/o partners, recon account etc.) and made it relevant for Rebates & Price determination.
    All the customers in the hierarchy are also relevant for Rebates.
    But the condition record maintained with hierarchy node is not getting picked up the billing document as system is looking for the subordinate payer instead of the hierarchy node.
    Not using the same node as Rebate Receiptant.  Incase of using wrt the below link, am getting error as "Customer for function PY may not have account group 0012".

  • Contracts and Customer hierarchy

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement - where my client has a customer who is globally located .....every year the global customer gives a contract to my client and asks to ship the material across his offices located globally...say one office in UK,one in US,one in Australia....sometimes the order may come from the customer from US/UK ....referring the same contract.
    And every time a slaes order is created based on the ordereafrom the customers across the world the  qty has to get decreased from the same contract.
    Shall i need to have a customer hierarchy and in that case can i refer to the same contract........or do i need to create a on single contract on the main customer and add the reamining customers as partner functions .......i am not sure how to go on with this ....please help me out
    Cheers
    Ivy

    Hi Ivy.
    In this scenario, there has to be a customer hierarchy, as the highest level of customer will be as parent customer and lower levels will be child customer. As you may need it in credit control also.
    For contracts lets wait for other consultants to answer, as i am not sure of it.

  • Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers ?

    Hello Sir,
    We r using ECC 6.0
    Which is right to assign to Scenario  ?
    IMG: Financial Accounting (New) => Financial Accounting Global Setting (New) => Ledger => Ledger => Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
    Select 0L (Leading Ledger) => Double click on Scenario
    New Entries:   1) FIN_CCA                 Cost Center Update
                          2) FIN_GSBER          Business Area
                          3) FIN_PCA                 Profit Center Update
    Why we assign?
    What the purpose?
    It is related to Document Splitting?     
    Thanks
    J

    Hi,
    SAP provides totally 6 Scenarios and you cant increase these scenarios. Generally all the 6 scenarios will be assigned to the leading ledger, for non leading ledgers it depends on your business requirement for attaching the scenario. And coming to the functionality of the scenarios, as you asked yes it is regarding document splitting.
    See when you post any document with additional account assignment like profit center, segment or business area. Based on the scenario you assigned to your leading ledger, these fields will be displayed in the general ledger view. If you did not assign the scenarios then that scenario wont be displayed in your general ledger view.
    HOpe u understood.

  • Customer Hierarchy Partner determination in a Sales Order using Payer ?

    Dear SD Experts/Gurus
    We use Customer Hierarchies extensively in Sales Orders for Pricing & Rebates and it all works fine.
    The Hierarchy structure consists at the bottom level of a SoldTo linked to a Hierarchy Customer and many SoldTos can have the same Hierarchy Customer.
    We set price conditions at the Hierarchy Customer and that all works fine.
    We would like to change our Customer Hierarchy to link the Hierarchy Customer to the Payer rather than to all the individual SoldTos.
    This is because we have many SoldTos linked to 1 Payer and this will allow us to have simpler Customer Hierarchy structures making it easier to setup and maintain.
    I have changed the SAP configuration to do this and I can certainly maintain the Customer Hierarchy without any problem using transaction VDH1N.
    But when I create a Sales Order, the Hierarchy Customer does not get pulled through to the Sales Order Header Partners based on the Order Payer and hence no Hierarchy Customer price conditions are pulled through.
    Is what I'm trying to do possible in SAP ?
    If so please advise how this can be achieved.
    Thanks David
    Edited by: David Steele on Apr 15, 2008 1:57 PM

    Hello,
    I have a similar requirement, although we are building the hierarchies directly in CRM (as we are with BP's in general), and I am using hierarchy category 01 - PRICING.
    What I have found is that a sold-to BP must:
    1. be assigned to a hierarchy node
    2. appear TWICE (!!!) in the document part.det.procedure, once in partner function 000001 (sold to) and again in partner function 00000121 (Authorized partner: sold to).
    When the sold to customer exists in both functions within the document, I am able to determine the hierarchy node properly.
    Now, my question is, can anyone guess why the main partner (sold to) must appear twice??? or, is this an error in my customizing?
    Thank you in advance for your help, and I do hope my observation can help others find a solution.
    Regards,
    Allon
    PS in terms of customizing, I used the following:
    partner function 00000001 - sold to
    partner function 00000121 - Auth. Partner: Sold-to Party
    access for Auth. Partner: 0017 - current partner: sold to *this copies the sold to partner into this partner*
    partner function 00000076 - Hierarchy Node Partner
    access for hier.node partner: CRM_PARTNER_G Pricing hierarchy
    The last bit presupposes that the hierarchy is set up using hierarchy category '01 - pricing'.

  • How to create a custom Hierarchy in IDT 4.0

    Hi All.
    I am trying to create a custom hierarchy objects in the Information Design tool, But I am not able to find it here as same sort like the universe designer in 3.1 or 4.0 . I have found the navigational path but I am not sure how I can use it as a hierarchical objects in my reports, Can anyone please suggest how to create a custom hierarchical dimension in IDT 4.0.
    Thanks,
    Navin

    Custom Hierarchy are called navigation path in IDT. I will suggest to go through the navigation path tutorials below
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-22087
    Hierarchical objects are no different than any regular objects but they enable the drilling in drill mode in the report and you can create a cascading prompt on top of them..
    If after going through this you still have any specific questions just let us know...

  • Customer hierarchy-Discount not flowing through

    I am facing problem in customer hierarchy in pricing.
    I have assigned account group 0012 to 001 all customer. 0012 is Main company who is not issuing orders. I think this may be due to Partner determination settings. However, I have set 3 levels 1D mai n office which is not issuing sales orders act group 0012 Set partner determination at customer master level and  sales document header TA. In sales order in Partners tab I am getting 1D but not getting other like 1C nor 1B nor 1A.
    Assigned sales area as well to hiegher level sales area, order type to "A" cust. hierarchy, VDH1N well maitnined 0012 act grp to lower level 2 company which both are 001 act group.
    In VK11 maintained HI01 % discount different for head office & two branch office with same sales org, Distr Channel and division.
    Here HO is given 2% discount and one branch office 5% and another 7%
    When I am creating sales order for 7% branch, in pricing procedure it shows only 2% (HO) discount but not 7% for branch office. I have also tick marked in XD02 at billing tab price determination. In pricing analysis hirearchy 02 is having Exclaimation in Customer field. So why I am missing this customer field even though I have maintained that customer in VK11. Hope I have summarized all details. If any questions please feel free.
    I shall appreciate if you know the resolution.

    This is now resolved by proper settings in Customer Hierarchy

  • Customer Hierarchy not showing in sales document

    Hi All,
    I have used the standard hierarchy type (A) to create a 2(or 3) level hierarchy  (top level node, 2nd level node and sold t party) and the hierarchy assignments look fine at the customer level. I have assigned the hierarchy type to the sales order type as well. But the hierarchy does not get carried over to the sales orders (contracts) when I create  the documents. I am sure it is something really silly, but any idea what I might be missing or where to start looking.
    Thank you so much for your help in advance...

    Have you Mainted Price determination in the custome masrter record of the billing Tab.
    Have you correctly maintained the partner determinatin procedures.
    Have you assigned Customer hierarchy to your sales area
    Have you created Customer with 0012 Account group.
    Now you need to assign the customer creatd using 0012 to the customer 0001 account group.
    Have you maintainted the Customer heirarchy in VDH1n transaction..
    Here you need to assign 0001 account group customer to 0012 customer
    If u have maintained all these settings correctly you will get the hierarchy customer in SO.

Maybe you are looking for
