Customer Account Group

[former_member200480]

Dear Experts,

I have created a Customer Account Group - Z001-Sold-To Customer. I have assigned it a number range 01. I have done all setting in Partner Determination Procedure too. But when I am trying to create a customer with tcode VD01, this Customer Account Group is not visible there. Please Help. Thank in Advance....Hitesh Gaur

Hello,

May sound silly but I have seen people with this issue.

Does your account group gives the technical names of the group or only the description. If it gives only the description, your account group might be visible but you might not be able to recognize, it is the same one which you created.

In case the case is the above please do let me know.

Regards,

Could you please explain what was the issue and your solution?

Debadeep's post is interesting, probably with your description and screenshots it (the issue and the solution) would be clear.

Thank you, in advance!

Hitesh,

Assign ZSP to Z001 in partner determination procedure assignment.

Then add all partner functions in ZSP to Z001 as you did in point 4.

You will get it!

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

From the screenshots, we see that

1. Customer acc group = Z001

2. Partner procedure = ZSP

3. Have you assigned this partner procedure ZSP with the customer account group (Z001)?

After step 3 is done, in XD01 create a customer master record.

[former_member200480]

Yes TW....

I have done that too...But result is still same.

Hitesh,

In OBD2, check if "Sales Area" button and related fields (with option "Req. Entry") are setup for your customer account group Z001

Please paste the two screenshots from Z001

[former_member182378]

Sumeet,

Is it partner type to account group OR is it partner function to account group?

E.g.

Partner type is KU
Partner function is SP

[former_member184771]

Dear TW,

It Partner Function to A/G assignment.

Thanks

Sumeet Sah

[former_member184771]

[former_member200480]

Dear TW,

This is the screenshot.

Thanks & Regards,

Hitesh Gaur

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

This is interesting!

Please go to VD01, give this customer account group & the sales area, execute.

Paste that screenshot here.

Thank you!

TW,

My issue is that A/c group Z001 is not visible in A/c group list.

Hitesh Gaur

[former_member184065]

Dear,

My issue is that A/c group Z001 is not visible in A/c group list.

This means ,you didnt create account group .If create account group then definitely you will see your account group in that list .So,better to create again account group and save it and see table level is updating or .

If you have any doubts please let me know .

Thanks,

Dear Naren,

Thanks for your reply. Have you gone through with entire thread.

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

I would suggest that you do not spend more time for this issue.

First check, in VD01 / XD01, in field Acc group can you see acc gr 0001. If yes then -

Create a new customer account group, by copying 0001. Probably name it ZZ01.

Check if this account group features in the list of acc groups, in VD01 / XD01.

Then assign the partner procedure to it.

[former_member184771]

Dear Hitesh,

I believe your problem is solved then please close the threat. If not then please let us know what issue your facing.

Thanks,

Sumeet Sah

Dear Hitesh Gaur,

Try to create the customer in XD01.

Hi Hitesh,

I think you have been to change mode of customer master (vd02) rather than vd01 just for that reason you couldn't find the account group.

[former_member184881]

hi,

have you tested it by XD01? it(Account Group: Z001) is in there?

thanks

Hi Hitesh,

It could be the reason that the account group is not shown in XD01 / VD01 because the
description is not maintained in the logon language.

When logged in with f.e. language EN:
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
-> Financial Accounting (New)
    -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
       -> Customer Accounts
          -> Master Data
             -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data
                -> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)
Check that account group Z002 does have a description (T077D-TXT30) maintained in EN.

These account groups will then be shown in transaction XD01 in EN environment.

I hope I was able to help you.

BR,

Zsuzsanna

[former_member182378]

Zsuzsanna,

Interesting suggestion!

Could you please test this and let us know?

E.g. if a sales document type is configured, by a consultant using EN language.

This sales document type is available (for use) to users of all countries, irrespective of their login language.

Do customer account groups (configuration objects) not the same? (in this regards)

[former_member189545]

Hi,

yes you are right, the account group do not has the usual translation process. This is a lack.

But this does not mean there is no 'easy' translation process.

Start SE16 for table T077X.

You will see that table can be maintained and also included within a transport.

BR,

Zsuzsanna

hi

check th OBD2, OBAR Level you find the your z001 account group ,

check the vd01 , here you find your account group , text  like z001-domestic, domestic group ,

check once

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

Please try to create a customer with transaction code XD01.

Once you start creating the customer master record, do you see the Tab Button "Sales Area Data"?

Hitesh,

Did you assign partner determination procedure AG to your account group Z001? Also

assign functions SP, SH, PY & BP to your account group Z001 in VOPAN.

[former_member200480]

Thanks Karuna for your reply.

Yes i have assigned AG too.

Regards,

[former_member182378]

Karuna, Hitesh,

(From what I remember) If one does not assign partner procedure to an account group, still the user can enter the data related to Sales.

But in the button Sales Area Data there would be no tab as Partners.

In other words, for these customers there would be no data in table KNVP. But for these customers, there would be data in table KNVV.

[former_member200480]

Dear All,

Thanks for your replies. I have confused now. I have few queries as under:

1. Partner Determination Procedure - I have copied PD AG to ZSP - is it correct?

2. Partner Determination Procedure Assignment - I am not able to to create a new entry?

3. Do i need to create a partner function? or what assignment shall i made here??

4. Account Group Function assignment - SP - Z001

Please help.

Many Thanks. Regard, Hitesh Gaur

[former_member184771]

Dear Hitesh, 

Step i - Correct. You need to copy Procedure AG and rename it to Say XX

Step ii - here you need to assign tout partner detn procedure which you created in step i) to account group

step iii - creation of partner function is not reqd if stnd is full filling your reqd.

step iv - here you need to assign your partner function (in step iii)to your account group. 

In addition to above step you need to partner function procedure where in you define your partner determination procedure & partner type (i.e. sp/sh/bp/py as mandatory and non modifiable), please check in your config setting, if you are missing this then it may be an issue. Please find the screen for your reference. (refer the highlighted one)

Thanks

Thanks a lot Sumit for your quick reply.

on Step ii) I m trying to assign Partner Det Pro to account group, i clicked on New Entries button. but it show an error "This function is not possible".

Regards,.....

[former_member184771]

Dear Hitesh, 

For step ii - you need to assign the partner detn procedure to account group (which you created in Tcode-OBD2, look for you a/c group by clicking on position and assign you partner detn procedure, Its not reqd for going for a new entry. 

Thanks, 

sumeet

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

Step ii) I m trying to assign Partner Det Pro to account group, i clicked on New Entries button. but it show an error "This function is not possible".

Good point! and you are correct!

New Entries wont work here!

As soon as a new customer account group is created, it populates in "Partner Determination Procedure Assignment".

All you have to do is assign (or link) the customer account group to the partner procedure.

Thus no need to create a new entry. Find the account group and enter the partner procedure for it (in  "Partner Determination Procedure Assignment", t-code VOPAN)

Note: Same thing explained by sumeet too.

I hope my above post is clear.

[former_member200480]

Dear Sumit/TW/Karuna,

Thanks a lot for your replies. However my problem has still unsolved.

I know you all guys are too busy in your work. But i have a request...if i give you my login details on my IDES, could you please be able to check the settings...Regards, Hitesh Gaur

[former_member182378]

Hitesh,

Create a new customer account group by copying 0001. And test with this new account group.

[Former Member]

Hi Hitesh,

Whichever account group you assign the partner determination procedure to will be displayed for selection in XD01 & VD01.

-So assign AG(partner det proc) or your own to Z001.

-For AG partner functions SP. SH.BP.&PY are already defined & assigned. If you have created new partner det proc, then add SP,SH,BP,PY & any other required.

-Also assign partner functions to your account group Z001 and check.

Further, it is advisable to copy standard account group 0001 and partner det procedure AG while creating your own. You can then add / change your own as required.
