Customer-Material-Info

[Former Member]

Hi,

can anybody inform which partner does control customer-material-info in SAP (transaction VD51). Is it sold-to party, bill-to party, payer or ship-to party?

Thanks much.

Hi

Welcome to SDN,

It is always SP, the reason being he is the first party who is responsible for the all transactions although there could be SH,BP,PY etc..

Suppose ;

1) You have ordered Pizza, and asked the pizza boy to deliver at your address You are the SP.

2) If some one at the address recieves it - He is SH

3)and this some one says please give the bill to mom - she is BP

4)Mom says Dad will pay the bill - He is Py

But in all these scenario who is main party for ordering the pizza ? YES it is you and you are SP so Sp is responsible for the Customer material info records.

I hope I could be helpful to certain extent.

Thanks,

CMIR can be created based on Sold to / Ship to / Bill to ...etc. During order procesing Sold to have the priority.
