What is one-time customer?

Dear All,
I am an ABAP guy and require some functional knowledge about one-time customer. Can you please tell me what is meant by one-time customer? Will the customer be used for only one purpose - only for asset selling for eg.?
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Hi Atanu
One time customer is the one with whom the organization will have rare transactions. So the data for this customer does not need to be stored in database as a master record. But on a transaction level it has to be feeded while posting.
In this way the classfication as a one time helps in reducing the size of ever increasing database.

Clear one time customer against normal vendor in F110

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to see if it is possible to clear one time customer against normal vendor in F110.
Customer and vendor have been linked and clearing with customer/vendor have been ticked.
Customer invoice of $100 and vendor invoice of $150 have been posted.
In F110 proposal, the two entries appears as separate lines. The customer invoice has a red icon and it says that debit balance is not possible for payment.
What are the matching criteria for customer and vendor transactions in F110?
I suspect it is caused by different payment recipient. The customer transaction took the customer name as payment recipient (e.g. ABC Coy - 00000001 which we have seen often for one time customers/vendors) I entered during invoicing. It's blank for the vendor transaction.
Putting aside the reason why we are not using a normal customer, anybody has any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you able to find a solution for your requirement.

How to create a sales order for one-time customer

Hi all,
I have a requirement where in creating a sales order, I have to add the tax code for one-time customer. This is not the tax jurisdiction but it is a text field that you can see in Further attributes and it will store in VBPA3 table.
My plan was create sales order first using SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE or BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. Then I used BDC of va02 for changing the salesdoc. But the problem is, we can't proceed because there's a message "TAX HAVE REDETERMINED" that it doesn't included in recording a transaction.
Another one is, instead of calling the standard bapi, I used BDC for VA01. Again, upon recording there was anothe message popped up "FREIGHT REDETERMINED". And it's not in the recording so we can't proceed.
Would you know what field is for the tax code when I use SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE or any standard bapi? Is there other way aside from calling a standard bapi or bdc?
Points will be given..Thanks!

Good afternoon Bella,
We are in a project that exactly need this solution. Could yoy please explain me how you solve the issue ?
Kind regards

One-time customer

Hi all,
I would like to have a better understanding on the purpose of having a one-time customer vs other normal customer account group.
For one-time customer, similar to other customers, we are required to create the customer master record and extend to a particular sales area where the sales are carried out in order so we can create an order for the one-time customer (example: "12345"). In order to use this customer for another different sales area, one-time customer 12345 is also required to be extended to the particular sales area for that matter.
So then, what are actual purpose in the technical perspective of having a one-time customer account group? It is similar to maintaining a new customer record in order to carry out a sales transaction.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

One-time customers are those who are not frequent customers. Company will be using those customers very rarely, maybe once in a life time. SAP is giving a special category for those type of customers. Normal customers will have separate Master Data which will have their address, country, bank account, terms of payment, payment methods, etc.
Whereas there will not be such records kept in Master data for those one-time customer. This way you will reduce the data base size. There will be one customers master record named as one-time customers and will have the check box ticked while creating this record. Country field is mandatory when creating a normal customer master (SAP standard) whereas it will not be in case of one-time customers.
When you post a document to this customers (One-time customers), it will prompt you to fill the name address and all the required fields at the document level.
So, we can conclude, One-time customer accounts in SAP means they are account groups for customer and where in only the general data of the customer are stored instead of maintaining the bank data and other company code data that are relevant for other account groups which are useful for long run purposes.
As you know everything that is entered in SAP is saved in some TABLE. Now the customer master is such a table which holds vast amount of data.
The business scenario where the customer which are being in system only for 1 transaction, it is not advisable to have all the data maintained in main master.
Therefore SAP has provided with the feature of One-time customer wherein in the document entry stage only you have to enter the name, address and other details of the customer.

One time customer/vendor

Good morning
Consultants..........
i am not clarified my self about one time vendors/customers ,,,,,,,,
pls let me know how exactly came in to picture one time customer/vendor and one example for this
Thanks in advance
Regards
prabhakar

Hi,
Practically speaking Customers/Vendor with whom you have an one time Purchase/Sales were called One Time Customers/Vendors.
Why ?
If your regular Vendor/Customer were not able to transact with you at some point of time,you find a Vendor/Customer to whom you have a transaction only once.
So basically you dont need any details about this Customer/Vendor because your transaction is going to last for one transaction.Thats why no Master Records are maintained for this One Time Customer/Vendor(reason behind this is to save some space).
There is one more situation where You have this One Time Customer/Vendor on a regular basis that is whenever your regular Customer/Vendor fails you are going to depend on this One time Customer/Vendor.So you need to segregate the transactions of One Time Customer/Vendor.
What you can do?
You can create a Dummy Customer/Vendor for a particular region with the details like Master Record Name,Currency,Sales Office.
If a One Time Customer from that region orders goods, use the customer number master record when processing the Sales Order. You enter the address and other data that is not in the master record in the Sales Order.This is called Collective Master Record of Customers/Vendors.

Andrew
PS:I think it is lil more elaborate for a simple question.

Transmission Medium 5 with one time customer..

Hi there, I have sent email from a smartform using a Z print program where I do all the coding to make the email go out. I really want to know how to use transmission medium 5 to do the same without making a Z print program and coding it all. SAP standard functionality allows this but I have seen many references of having to enter the email address on the customer master but in our case we are using a "one time Customer" for these documents where you wouldnt update the customer master, the email address is saved at the document level.
My question is: Does SAP allow for the use of transmission medium 5 for these one time customers.. If so what needs to be done for it to work?
We have the output type set up as 5, a print program and a smartform all ready.
Thanks In Advance .

Hi,
To maintain addresses of the email you can maintain it in ADR6-SMTP_ADDR.You can fetch this address based on the addrnumber

Display One time customer list and its transactions

Dear,
When we use one time customer in sales order and invoice, we'll get an additional pop up window where we can input name and address of the one time customer.
Where can i get the table they get stored?
If i want to see the one time customer report as well as customer report in fbl5n, what t-code that i can use?
Thank you

Dear,
I can see the one time customer list (added from additional pop up window) in BSEC...:)
What do u mean with this statement :"Here you can add table BSEC and field XCPDK(One-time account), once you add this field in the table, the field will be displayed in the change layout option of FBL3N"
Does it mean that i have to add "a field" in "the change layout option" when i run the transaction of FBL5N or FBL3N?
What field is that? because i didn't find any field of "one time customer as displayed in BSEC" in "the change layout option".
Thank you...:)

Unable to post one time customer to cash journal

Dear All,
I have difficulty in posting one time customer to cash journal, it did
not prompt me for name and address. However in the website
http://help. sap.com/bp_ bblibrary/ 600/documentatio n/N70_BPP_ 04_EN_DE. doc
it mention it is able, does not know what is the problem, any one has
any idea?
Many Thanks

Hi Chua,
1) please, make sure that in tr. FD02 this one-time customer exists. IF it doesn't exist, please, create as master data should be available in FI module.
2) According to SAP Library:
For customers whom you only supply once or rarely, you can create a special customer master record, the master record for "one-time accounts". In contrast to other master records, no data specific to a single customer is stored in the one-time master record, since this account is used for more than one customer. The customer-specific entries such as address and bank details are not entered until the document for the transaction is entered into the system.
When you post a document to a one-time account, the system automatically goes to a master data screen. On this screen, you enter the specific master data for the customer, which is stored separately in the document. This includes name, address, and bank data, for example.
3) as per note 490513:
"OTA: The system displays a new 'OTA' button. If you have entered an OTA business partner, then the system automatically displays a screen for the entry of the OTA data. It is possible to navigate to the OTA data via the 'OTA' button."
Therefore, according to standard design of OTA functionality if customer/vendor belongs to One-Time Account group you should enter all customer-specific data (Name, address, bank data, etc.) directly in a document. Otherwise, please, use a non-OTA customer/vendor master records.
I hope this information helps you.
Rewards me if it useful

Training & Event Management - Billing - One Time customer

Hi All,
Would anybody be able to help us with the below scenarios, Thanks in advance for the help.
1. How do, I do Billing in Training & event management?
2. Can we have more than 1 one time customer for different departments in training & event management. if yes, what would be the process?
3. Integration table _T77S0,_ have only 1 one time customer as integration between training & event management and sales & distribution, but if we assign different one time customer at Attendee level, there is a confilict, how we can assing different one time customer for different attendees( say department wise)?
Thanking you.

Hi,
One time customer itself means that there is no regular transactions with this customer, so that is why a generic account is created for such customer and the transaction for various one time customers posted with such generic account.
The credit check is not relevant to the one time customer.

Dunning letters for one-time customer

Hi,
I have looked through the program of SAPF150V which F150 will execute the dunning and placed the customer data in MHNK.
My issue is the customer address are drawn from master table, which one-time customer (customer id is shared by several customer, hence the address would be differently stored in SAP) may have problem since the address is not stored in the standard SAP master table.
Apart from changing the calling program, is that anyway to do the configuration in order to cater the one-time customer dunning process?
Thank you in advance for advice.

Hi,
The only difference in the process of dunning for one time customer and normal customer is that, the dunning frequency for one-time accounts is not checked in the master record but for each individual document.
Apart from this, there is no specific configuration as such for dunning of one time customer.
You can refer the below link:

F-32 for one time customer code

Hi,
This is related with F-32 cusomer open item processing. It involves some of these document type....billing type RV , DA i.e. credit memo and many other. After processing open item if debit credit matches with differnce zero system easily post the clearing doc. But when there is difference system passes one document for balance amount. like if more of RV billing doc it will show receivable or vice cersa more of DA type doc it will show advance received right?
Normally System automatically post document for this differnce figure. Document type AB i.e. now my customer will have open item with AB document type till next clearing. However in case of one time customer sytem simulates the documet. Pass first line item with document type AB for differntial amount but shows error 'correct first line litem before posting. '
When i open that line item, it shows business partner data i.e. customer adress is blank and if you filled up that system allows to post.
As per my analysis when i tried to do F-32 for other than one time customer code system flows this address (If more of RV
balance then from RB Billing Type or advance received i.e. more of DA type then that corrosponding document.) But in case of one time customer code we do not maintain master and therefore systm can not find out that adress deatils and ask for it before posting docuemnt. This is as per logic and correctly understandable.
But i want to know is there any other way or config through which system can automatically pick that adress data in case of AB document type for one time customer code?
Kindly note that it happens only with one time customer code and all other customer codes are doing perfect.
Kindly share your views.
Regtards,
Aks

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
But tell me one thing even adjustment document posting (doc type AB) system consider it as second transaction?
I feel one thing strange that my users never found such problem earlier.
I told them to find out any such scenario where system posted AB document for one time customer code.
If not then being this is first time case can be accept.
Secondly if volume is less then i don't think any abap development is required.
Bcaz anywez we can manually enter those customer address data for AB document type.

How to handle the One-Time Customer Process (Customizations - Master Datas)

How can we handle the processes of one time customers (for example sales from a store without a warranty process fort he products)? Iu2019m planning of creating a different sales document type and use a single customer number for all of the documents created. On the other hand SAP has a solution for the one-time customers but I donu2019t know its details. Can anybody explain me the standard one-time customer process of SAP (the needed customizations and the master datas to be created)?
Thanks in advance for the answers....

Hi..
the one-time customer is an account group (CPDA) that is used for "walk-in" or "cash" buyers. although this account group can be used for regular sales orders, this is intended to be used with the Cash Sales type of sales documents, where no accounts receivable is created. you also need the one-time customer as a "dummy" and avoid creating many customer masters for buyers who may only do one transaction with your company.
when you use the one-time customer account group in the Cash Sales order, you enter the one-time customer number in the sold-to party field. the system will then prompt you to enter the actual name (and address) of the buyer. you can have the option of generating SD reports with the real names of the customers.
you create the one-time customer the same way you do with the regular Sold-to party. there are some differences, in the sense that this is a "dummy" account. you do XD01 or VD01 to create the account, choosing account group CPDA. you also make entries in the sales areas.

Post one time customer payment with clearing

Dear,
I paid one time customer billing using F-28. When i choosed a n open item (billing doc) with ope item selection as follows :
- account : customent number
- account type : D
- standard OIs was ticked
but there was a message :"no appropriate line item is contained in this document"
Then, i created payment document using F-02 with doc type DZ.
In the one time customer pop up screen, i entered the name as the same as the name in the billing doc.
I tried to clear customer manually using F-32, but the message is still the same : :"no appropriate line item is contained in this document"
Thank you for ur help...

Hi,
Please check if you can see open item in FBL5N for this one time customer.
Check whether there is any Invoice in open Item
If you can see that in FBL5N definitely you can clear with Payment in F-28.

What is one-time customer?
