Hi Everybody,

i created my own sales org, distribution chnannel & div.

But when i tried to create coustomer in master data, its

asking for sold-to-party number.I followed all the steps.

Is there any specific setting i have to do in IMG.

Regards Shivaraj !

Hello,

The issue could be of the external numbering. your account group allows only external numbering. You give any external number and try to create the sold-to-party.

Thank you for the response,

the number ranges i assigned is internal so i cannot create sold to party by using external number range.

hello, friend.

when you execute VD01, FD01 or XD01 (create customer), the field for customer number is available for entry. normally this is not a required entry. try leaving it blank and make entries in the other fields.

the field for customer number is ready for entry for existing customers which you wish to extend to other sales areas, using the same t-codes.

please try again. if this field is a required entry, let us know and we will try to find out how to deactivate this field as required entry.

regards.

I did left that entry blank but still asks for sold-to-party # at the end.

hello again.

hhmmm. very interesting. is it possible you may have used a different account group from what you intended?

nevertheless, if it is possible, please give us a step-by-step picture of what you did and what messages you see. it would be very helpful.

thanks and regards.

Hi Shivraj,

Though you didn't do partner determination, it should give you an error at the end of the process w/o PF.

Try to give Customer number, from the given number range.

It should work for you.

Or is it giving error saying for the sales area you are trying create customer is not possible.

If this is the error, you have to maintain the reference Distribution Channel and reference Division for the DC and Div of your structure.

all the best

Looks like there is a external number range assigned to your a/c groups.
