You need to create a vendor also in this case with the same address and then assign this vendor in the customer masterdata. In this case, both SD and MM transactions will be reconciled at one reconciliation account.

It is a must to create the customer as a vendor, if the customer is also a Vendor.

Dear Rajesh,

Thanks for your reply.

If i am creating X as a customer & Y as a vendor, i am also assign customer as a vendor & vendor as a customer .

also i am giving Reconcilation Account in both customer & Vendor as different.

Then what is the impact of that Customer as a vendor?

is it any impact in Finance?

Plz send me some solution for the same.

Hi,

Fine,whatever the transactions the customer made as a vendor, those will be stored in vendor Rec. account.

Also whatever he made as a customer, that will be stored in customer Rec. Account , mentioned in the CMR.

There will not be any clashes.

Hi Pankaj,

As Kaleeshwaran told above, SAP posts the values in to different Rec Accounts and which makes easy for the accounts while making the payment or receiving the payments.

All the transactions as a customer and as a vendor are maintained at the same place. This is the advantage.

Reward points if helpful

Hi Pankaj

It is necessary to define a Vendor. The Recon a/c. for this vendor will be different with that of Customer.

Hi Pankay,

While creating Customer master through XD01 you enter the data in the Control data tab which is related to Vendor details ,This will use when we take that perticuler customer as Vendor.

I hope it will solve you issue,
