what is customer maaster record? pupose of it?

Dear Deva Raj,
Do search the forum (or google) for generic queries.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/1a/8fa038b380f66ee10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
In the SAP System, all business transactions are posted to and managed in accounts. You must create a master record for each account that you require. The master record contains data that controls how business transactions are recorded and processed by the system. It also includes all the information about a customer that you need to be able to conduct business with him.
Both the accounting (FI-AR) and the sales (SD) departments of your organization use customer master records. By storing customer master data centrally, you enable it to be accessed throughout your organization, and avoid the need to enter the same information twice. You can also avoid inconsistencies in master data by maintaining it centrally. If the address of one of your customers changes, for example, you only have to enter this change once, and your accounting and sales departments will always have up-to-date information.
You have to implement the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component in order to enter and process customer master records for order processing, shipping, and billing. For more information, see the Sales and Distribution documentation.

Naveen.

The material master contains information on all the materials that a company procures or produces, stores, and sells. It is the company's central source for retrieving material-specific data. This information is stored in individual material master records.
The material master is used by all components in the SAP Logistics System. The integration of all material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage. In the SAP Logistics System, the data contained in the material master is required, for example, for the following functions:
In Purchasing for ordering
In Inventory Management for goods movement postings and physical inventory
In Invoice Verification for posting invoices
In Sales and Distribution for sales order processing
In Production Planning and Control for material requirements planning, scheduling, and work scheduling

What is customer groups? pupose of its?

what is customer groups? pupose of its?

Dear deva
If you have a large number of customers or vendors, you can use the function Group customers or Group vendors when creating the balance confirmation.
You can find this function in the Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable screen under Periodic processing --> Print correspondence --> Balance confirmation --> Group customers or vendors.
This program enables you to group your customer and vendor accounts in intervals of a specific size or in a specific number of intervals. The grouping can only ever be applied to one company code.
You could, for example, divide your customers into five equal-sized intervals. The system creates this grouping and then gives you a list of the interval divisions together with the number of customer accounts contained in each division. You can then create five different variants for balance confirmation program by simply entering in the Customer field the interval divisions created by the system. You can then let these balance confirmation programs run parallel in the background.

What is customizing request?

what is customizing request?
regards,
phani.

Hi Phani..
Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.
You can see good details on this thread:

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.

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,

Sold-To customer master records

Hi,
Can ne1 plz help me out by telling me that what is this "Sold-To customer master records" in context of tables KNA1 & KNVP.
Thanks in advance,
Mohit.

Hi,
Type of customer can be identified on the basis of Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD).
Sold-To customers will have a defined Account Group to identify that those are sold-to customers.
I think it depends on the configuration in SPRO but try with 'Z001'.
KNA1-KTOKD = Z001 are sold-to customers.

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 customers 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.

In VKOA .. what are customer , material groups

hi ,
in the tcode VKOA what are customer and material groups
where to see customer groups and material groups.....
and when PGI is done what happens to the costing document
thanks
mmn
rewards for sure

Hi,
Customer group is different from customer account assignment group. I have explained you about the customer account group.
Customer group:
Identifies a particular group of customers (for example, wholesale or retail) for the purpose of pricing or generating statistics.
Use
You can freely define customer groups according to the needs of your organization. You assign a customer group to an individual customer in either the customer master record of the sold-to party or in the sales document. In SD Customizing, you can create a condition type that lets you create pricing records for customer groups. Additionally, when you want to generate sales statistics, you can use customer groups as one of the selection criteria.
Procedure
The system can propose a value from the customer master record. You can change the value manually in the document.
Customer group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - sales screen
Customer account assignment group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - billing screen.
Similarly material group and mateial account assignment group are both different. Material account assignment group I have explained earlier.
Material group:
Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
Use
You can use material groups to:
Restrict the scope of analyses
Search specifically for material master records via search helps
Material group you will find in - MM01 - Basic data 1 screen
Material account assignment group you will find in - MM01 - Sales:Sales Org. 2 screen.

Contact associated Custom object records in SR when contact is selected

Hi
We have a scenario like this:
Contact->Family members
For Contact - Contact Record Type
For Family members - using Custom Object 1 record type
This is fine. Whenever a family member is added, ContactId is stamped against the Custom object 1 record. So, when the contact is searched, the family members are also displayed in the child.
Problem:
Whenever there is a SR raised against the Contact, the child of SR should show up Family member names of the selected Contact. These records should be editable.
Have anyone come across such problem or do anyone have a good solution without using Web Services or any kind of integration here?
Regards,
Suchitra

Hi Becky, unfortunately you cannot directly create a custom object record in the manor you are describing (from a program or canvas step). However, what you COULD do is submit to a form from program builder using the "Form Submit" cloud connector. That way you can leverage the form processing steps as you would normally. Be warned, if you want to use one custom object for ALL nurture records, then you will have to create a unique key other than email address (otherwise you will simply overwrite the last record over and over again). The key could be something like email+nurtureName. BUT be warned again, depending how many contacts you are nurturing, this type of cloud connector could get "clogged" pretty easily, as last i checked it was only able to process something like 300 records an hour. If you have several thousand records potentially being nurtured, this may not be a great option.

Zfield is not apearing in the batch input session ( Customer Master Record)

Hello,
We have added one Z field in the customer master record (sales are tab). But this Z table not appear in the Batch Input session(SM35). My user want to update this field for all the customers at once, but this Z field not appearing even in MASS transaction.
For your information, we have appended the KNVV table. Can any one of you give some suggestions on this.
Regards,
Srinivas.

It's rather easy via a custom ABAP program to wait for the end of a batch input session. Some codes were already pubilshed (look whole SCN for APQI-QSTATE).
What you can do is to select the sessions to be started via this custom program, and it will submit a job which will run in an endless loop until the last session is released. It might use a WAIT UP TO X SECONDS to sleep for a few seconds between each scan of session status.
