Hi All

I came to know that we can change the account group for the following

1) Payer

2) Bill to party

3) Ship to party

But it is said that we can't change the SP account group.

Can any one explain why can't we do that?

Hi,

See from the business perspective, but not from the system point of view.

Intial triggering point for any business operation(inquiry , quotation , order - others are dependant transactions) is sold to party ( the one who place the order), which means at the time of placing the order, respective business partner should completely aware of & disclose the required details to complete the business deal.

eg: where these order supposed to dispatch,

to whom business has to send the copy of invoice &

who is gonna settle this invoice amount.

So Sold to party will have all the required details. Hence one sold to party act as the other business partners.

Once agreed, then only business partner is created as Sold to party in system. If is there any changes from the Sold to party such as in future sold to party is not going to receive the goods, but they nominated some other business partner for this function, then the respective details will be recorded as Ship to party & assigned this number to Sold to Party.

So you cant change the sold to party as some other business partners such as SH, BP & PY.

hi,

this is to inform you that,

you cannot change SOLD TO PARTY account group to other partners account group's because:

Due to field selection in the CMR is controlled by Account Group for this sold-to party the fields are masked.

that means, the SP will be maintained with some mandatory fields and for which SH, BP & PY may not require as mandatory fields.

Hi,

While creating an so the system derives the data from the master record of SP only.That's why while placing the partner functions in the procedure we will check Not modifiable field for SP only and mandatory for all the partner functions along with SP.This is because Sold-to-party is always unique and the other pfs can vary.That is an SP can have multiple payers,ship to parties or bill to parties but there will be only one SP in a customer master.

I hope this will be of some help to u.

Ramesh.
