error while converting Ship-to-party to Sold-to-party

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to covert a Ship-to-party to Sold-to-party using transaction XD07. While converting the above i m getting the following error

The planned change is not allowed as the following field

groups would be masked by the new account group

Group Modif group 1

V D315 Shipping 017 Order combination

When i checked the difference between account groups Sold-to and Ship-to, it was the Order combination field in Shipping tab which was suppressed in Sold-to party and an optional entry in Ship-to-party. because of which i was getting the error while converting a ship-to party to sold to party.

Please help me in transforming the Ship-to-party to Sold-to-party without changing the account groups in OBD2.

Thank you,

Arun.S

If I am correct, system will permit to change from Sold to Party to Ship To Party or any other Partner Function and not vice versa. I dont have SAP access to confirm this. You try to change any other sold to party to ship to party in development client and I am sure, system will permit to change. Update the forum on the outcome.

thanks

Hello Arun

I would still recommend changing the field status of Sold-to to 'Display'. Or use Transaction-Dependent Screen Layout to only display the filed during 'create or change'.

Check OSS Note 577480 meant for Releases 4.6 - 4.7. It talks about a Z program. See if you can copy and use it.
