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.

Customer Master Record and Sales Area

Hi All,
I'm new to SAP SD and so would appreciate some help.
A Customer Master Record may exist for many sales areas. Does this mean many sales area within one Sales Organizational right??

Welcome to the forum. As a new member, I would like to inform you that there are certain rules and regulations applicable to this forum which you can find to your right screen where it has also been indicated that posting basic / repeated query is not allowed.
Please AVIOD posting queries like this. Since you have indicated that you are new to SD, it would be better if you test in SAP and see whether system is allowing or not so that you will learn on your own.

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,
Glynn

Hi Ghanesh,
Below are a few helpful links on how to use MASS.

If you are using this tool for the first time, i would not suggest directly using it on Production. Use it few times on Test client for making yourself familiar with this tool. It is a very powerful tool and changes made from this cannot be undone.
You can also use LSMW to run mass data. Few links for LSMW are as below:

Problem with the creation of asset master record

Hi Gurus,
i am having problem in creation of a new asset master with the use of existing man asset number and different asset sub number. I am trying to create the asset in the same company code but different depriciation area, but the system is not allowing me to do that. Is there a setting in the SPRO by which I can allow the use of creation of the asset number by using the already existing asset number with the new asset sub number. This is actually happening in the system for one type of equipments but not for other.
Can any one tell me what settings are to be made to allow this for all containers.
Thanks in advance
Anoop Sharma

Hi,
A sub asset master can be created with AS11 only.
You cannot create a asset sub number under a main asset number, in the case, where different set of dep areas needs to be maintained.
When you create a sub asset, all the dep areas will be copied to sub asset's master from main asset master. Since this set of dep areas cannot be different from main asset to sub asset.
Hopw you understood this.
Thanks,
Srinu.

Problem : Customer Master, LSMW, RFBIDE00, Sales Area

I'm having a problem loading customer data using LSMW, RFBIDE00 & tcode XD01. I can successfully load Sold To customers (account group Z0001), but have a problem trying to load ship-to (Z0002).
The problem I have is that the batch input session created by RFBIDE00 is giving an error saying that "No batch input data for screen SAPMF02D 0310". I have checked in the display converted data and all the required fields for the screen are getting populated in BKNVV structure. Also i check the internal table before RFBIDE00 does the BDC insert statment. The internal table FT has all the required data(FNAM and FVAL) for program SAPMF02D screen 0310, but still when i process the session it is giving an error saying that no input for "No batch input data for screen SAPMF02D 0310".
I have noticed that few people had similar problems a while ago, but i could find any reply which offers a solution.
We're running 4.7 and LSMW version 4.0.
Thanks for your help,
Venkat

Abdul and Sharath,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the entries in the internal table FT and it does have BDC data for screen 310 and also it has the correct sequence. For some reason, the values are not getting transferred to screen 310 during call transaction. I have no problems in creating the customer manually using the same data as in LSMW internal table FT and also i tried recording transaction XD01 with the same data, again no issue there also.
Thanks for your replies.

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

Taxes in billing document tab in sales area data in customer master record.

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem here. There is no country IN in the taxes in billing doc tab in sales area data. What is the settings for getting the same in customer master record?
Please guide.
Edited by: Chetan Barokar on Mar 17, 2008 3:56 PM

Hi Chetan,
Go to the transaction XD02 then enter your Customer Number which is giving problem then go to the Sales Area Data-->Billing Documents Tab,there you check whether you have entered the tax detailes or not,
If not entered , enter the tax detailes.
-->If the tax detailes not coming in the Customer master >Sales Area data> Billing Documents tab
-->Also check the settings related to between Country (IN) and Tax Condition type (Tax Category) in the transaction OVK1
-->If the Tax condition type not assigned to the country IN assign the tax type to the country IN in the transaction OVK1.
-->Check OVK3 transaction also.
I hope it will help you

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,

Customer not extended to sales area

Hi experts,
Even though I have extended a particular customer to the given sales area, division and distribution channel, when I run the program I still get the error saying "Customer not extended to sales area" . What could be the reason for this? I am a ABAPER. I am new to SD transactions.I have checked in xd02. the customer has been extended. Where else should I check?
Please explain in detail
Regards
kalyan

HI,
Which program are yout trying to run?
How did you extend the customer? If through XD01 then try going into XD02/XD03 and enter customer and click on customer sales areas. You should be able to see the sales area that you have extended the customer into !

FI-AA and the Automatic Creation of Equipment Master Records

Our client is currently on SAP R/3 4.7E and per SAP Notes 176056, 370884, 361520, releases above 4.6B should be able to automatically create an equipment resord master record from within FI-AA. Configuration shows that undaer FI-AA Master Data the integration should be possible, but we have tested and cannot get it to work. No equipment record is ever created.
Has anyone been successful in performing this function?
What are we missing?
Thank You.
Ruthie

Hi,
Simple,
1. Go to AOLK and check which tab layout is assigned to your asset class, to transaction group 'Others'.
2. Go to AOLA select layout you found out at 1st step, then double click on 'Tab Page Titles'.
3. Select tab page Allocations and click on position group on tab pages.
4. Click on new entries and insert 'S0013', save.
after doing this you will be able to find 'equipment' box under allocation.
and regarding asset synchronization..
Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> Automatic Creation of Equipment Master -> Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data
In this step, under the box 'Edit Asset Master Record' mention,
Create Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving
Change Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving
Make sure you do not have any other field 'required' in equipment creation and not assigned to asset field.
After doing this you should be able to get equipment created automatically..

How to fill the KNBW Customer master record (withholding tax types) in IDOC

Hi experts,
The creation of a new customer (intern) with idoc has status 51 with error : No batch input data for screen SAPMF02D 0610. When à use the WE19 transaction, in background step by step, the batch-input stops in withholding tax types. But those informations aren't compulsory and not filled!
1 - Why did the idoc stops in this step of the batch?
2 - If i had to fill those informations, i don't find a segment in the DEBMAS01 or DEBMAS05 to fill the informations. Should i create an new segment?
Thanks à lot for you responses.

Account group in the customer master record.

Hi .
Why we have to use the ACCOUT GROUP For customer.
Account group differs for sold to party, ship to party, bill to party and payer.
but when we create a sales order if we enter the sold to party automatically the ship ,bill and payer will be taken by the system.
can any one give me the sufficient solution for this.
thanks
Devi Reddy
Edited by: bareddy devi on Aug 1, 2008 5:58 PM

Hi,
For customer creation ACCOUNT GROUP plays a vital role.
Based on this Account Group only, concerned Fields will be activated. Thats why, when we create a Sold to pary it will ask for much information in all the tabs, where as, for ship to, bill to and payer all these fields are not required.
using the path : IMG -> Logistics General -> Business Partners -> Customer -> Control -> Define Transaction Dependent Screen Layout -> double click on Create Customer (sales)
here you can activate or make mandatory or optional all the fileds which are available in different tabs of the customer master.
And This you can do based on account groups also
Goto T.Code OBD2, select the account group (say 0001 sold to) and you can activate make which are all the fileds required for that customer. Like this you can do for all the account groups, so whenever u create the customer master based on that account group only those fileds will be asked by system.
For sold to party, we require all the info like sales, shipment, billing and parnter funtion. But for ship to you need only shiping data, for bill to you need only billing data, for payer you need billing also. for all these general data is required.
And where as for your second query, when you create a sales order automatically ship to, payer , bill to will come automatically based on what you maintaine in the sold to customer master. By default when you create a sold to, partner functions will be taken as the same for ship to, bill to , payer. Then you have to create different customers using account groups shipto, bill to and payer and those customer numbers you maintain in the sold to customer master -> Sales Area data -> partner functions.
Then whenever you create the sales order, differnt customer will be picked based on that data.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks
Praveen
