Dear Sunil

Business partners who have a business transaction with you only once are called one-time customers. You do not have to create a master record for one-time customers because you do not need this master record after the business transaction, and it uses space. You create collective master records for one-time customers.

You create a collective master record for a dummy customer that only includes data for all customers in a certain region. This collective master record can include the following fields:

• Master record name

• Language

• Currency

• Sales office processing the data

If a one-time customer from this region orders goods from your company, use the customer number of the collective master record when processing the sales order. You enter the address and other data that is not in the collective master record in the sales order.

<b>Prerequisites</b>

The account group can restrict the number of screens accessed in the collective master record for one-time customers and one-time vendors. If only some of the screens and fields for one-time customers and one-time vendors are relevant for your company, change the account group CPD or set up a new account group. You do this in the Customizing activities listed in the section on account groups.

<b>Activities</b>

When you create a collective master record, the system proposes the account group CPD. This ensures that you can access screens from different partner functions relevant for one-time customers. The system only displays fields that can be identical for all one-time customers. For example, all address fields are suppressed because the master record is collective for data on several business partners who can have different addresses.

Thanks
