Restrict the creation of customer master records at sales area level

[Former Member]

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 Andrew,

the easiest way is to restrict authorisations object

F_KNA1_BUK and V_KNA1_VKO.

Try to avoid using screen and transaction variants with customer/vendor master data transaction.

It is quite easy to face 'surprises' as these transaction have their own handling of fields and screen settings

Hope this helped.

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.

I understand the supression of customer master fields. The question is whethere there is configuration to prevent a user from creating a customer master record at the company code and sales area levels when they populate those fields at creation for a certain account group.

Hi

Try to create Transaction variant by using transaction SHD0 and give authorisation to User for this Transaction Variant only.
