Download Customer from SD to CRM; Note 301059

[Former Member]

hello experts,

We are implementing ECC 6.0 & CRM 5.0.

In SD Customer Master, the field "VAT registration number"; in Control Area; is populated which results in the customer not being downloaded in CRM. Note 301059 says that this field has to be deleted for a non-EU country, here the country in question being India.

Is there any way work around this restriction? That is, maintain the field & be able to download the data by some modifications. Kindly share your views if you have encountered this issue.

Hello venkat,

There is no problem when the field is set to null. Anyway, I have been able to solve the problem. Entries have to be maintained in table V_TFKTAXNUMTYPE.

Thank you for your replies.

Hi Deepanshu

I think most probably, this field has been made mandatory at your end which should be changed to "optional". To do this, goto SPRO --> Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Define Screen Layout per Activity (Customers).

Select "<b>Create Customer (Accounting)</b>" and tick the blue lens on top so that it will go to next screen. Now double click "<b>General Data</b>" under "<b>Field status</b>" and select "<b>Control</b>". In this, against the field "VAT registration number", select "<b>Opt.Entry</b>", save it and then try once again.

Thanks

Hello Ganeshan,

This entry is already optional in the ECC system, nor does it exist in the CRM system.
