I would like to find out what is maximum number of contract account that one can create under one business partner.

What is the maximum number of contracts that are allowed under single contract account

How many contract account or contract can the CIC0 screen handle for one business partner (maximum)

Thank you in advance for your input.

It will allow maximum no of contract accounts in the CIC0 screen. You have to select the exact one to display the accounts.

Why do we require maximum contract accounts? We can use maximum 4 to 5 contracts accounts for each services(In utility industry we are having ELECTRICITY, GAS, WATER, HEAT).

Siva

Tsmash:

For Bp to CA relation, there is no technical maximum from a data model perspective. CIC0 has a max display of 100 - this is to prevent delays in pulling up the data. Generally, ths should never be an issue - maybe only with certain few large customers, but those might not be processed using CIC0. Proper searching can mitigate this even for partners with >100 accounts.

For contracts, again this depends on your data mode - but there is no technical maximum enforced by the system during contract creation. There is a consideration for billing/invoicing - if more than 5000 contracts are billed under one account, then there will be an invoice split due to internal line item maximum. With CIC0 limits, proper searching can mitigate this even for accounts with >100 contracts.

For customers with large numbers of accounts or contracts, consider using collective accounts.

bill.
