Alternative Payer

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I have a customer, say 1000 in customer code 9999 defined as sold to party, ship to party, bill to party and payer. Now I want to create different payer for this customer WITHOUT creating another customer code.

I am trying to do the following (but to no avail) -

Change customer (XD02)

Go to the 'Payment transaction tab' in General Data and click on the check box, 'Individual entries'. I was hoping that here if I add another payer, it will reflect in the header level while creating a sales order (VA01), but I haven't had any luck yet.

Q1) What exactly is the meaning of that check box mentioned above? What does it do?

Thanks!

Abhishek

Dear Abhishek

In the same area what you indicated, you can see the following tabs:-

- Alternative Payer

- Allowed Payer

You can maintain in either of these fields and try the process.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately I haven't been able to see the effect of the alternative payer in the sales order as yet. I have tried both options above.

I will try to run the whole cycle again till the time the payment is received (F-28) and see if the alternative payer is 'hit' and not the sold to party...

Thanks

Abhishek
