Hi all,

wish to find out if there is a way when creating customer master record but not creating the company code view, system will prompt an error or a warning message to maintain the company code data.

T.code VD01

Hi Dylan

Since you cannot stop User from creating using VD01, suggest the following:

Update the field KNA1-AUFSD (entral order block for customer) with appropriate code by using a User exit for VD01 at the time of using VD01.

This would prevent the SO creation until the block is removed by Authorised user - who will do it after the Accounting view is created.

Hi

We create customer master using two types of T-codes

<b>VD01</b>- We can access General data & Sales Area Data(Sales area required)

<b>XD01</b>- We can Access General data, Sales Area data and Company code data(sales area+ Company code required )

If we use T.Code: XD01 for creating customer master data, it will not allow you to proceed without maintaining Company Code data (Reconcilation Account being required field). However, if we do not want to ctreate company Code Data & an FI Consultant will create the same in future, we can use T.Code: VD01 to create Customer master for relevant sales area.

or can i prevent the sales order from being created if there is no company code view created for the customer via user exit?

[Former Member]

A simple and easy way could be to remove the authorization for VD01 transaction for the users who creates the customer master data and give the XD01 transaction instead to them.Now they will have to provide CC data while creating customer.

Reward if this helps.

Hi Dylan,

The best option according to me would be to restrict the user from creating the Sales Area view before the Company Code View, instead of blocking the order entry.

I'm sure there but be an user exit available in VD01 option where you could add the logic to check if the company code data is available in table KNB1. Sit with an ABAPer to get the name of the user exit.

no.. i cannot make it optional.. then the customer will be saved. I want a warning message to say that no company code data is maintained.

is there any way ?

[former_member418015]

and i cannot make the fields in CC view mandatory. because they are maintained by 2 different department. if it is made mandatory, the customer cannot be saved.

[Former Member]

goto account groups... there put all fields as opitional and save.. then you can make and save...

reward if it helps..

sorry... i don't think i made myself clear.

what i meant was, if i am creating customer master but if i did not create the company code view, i want the system to prompt me error/warning message.

my scenerio is that the people who create the sales view and company code view are different dept. And the ppl who create the sales view will go on to create the sales order which is possible without the cc view.

That is what the finance (ppl who create the cc view) do not want. They want to review the customer before creating the company code view. If rejected, they will not approve of the customer and thus will not create the cc view. But by then the sales order is already done which is a legal document.

VO01 is T.Code for creating customer master for Sales purpose. We will maintain General data & Sales Area Data for the same. An important information, suppose FI consultant have already created the customer & maintained General data & Company Code data, in that case in VD01 only the sales Area Tab will be available to you (subject to creating Customer master with same code).

hi ,

use the transaction code VD01 when you are creating a customer. so you will be creating the customer with only general data and sales area data

or when you are creating an account group supress all the fileds in the company code data section.

Please reward the points if it is helpful
