Hi Raj,

1. General Data - Which contains general information like Name, Address, Phone No, etc. which is utilised by any Document in SAP.

2. Sales Area data - Contains Sales Org., Dist. Chan and Division. Along with this it contains other required information like Plant, Shipping Condition etc. This information entere by SAP defaulted when you create any SD document.This is a information which is utilise by Sales Ord, Delivery, Invoice etc.

3. Company Code data - This contains accounting releated informatio like Recon Account, Payment Terms. This information used when any accounting information/doc. created in SAP.

Also generally this all informatio will be filled by the respective fucntional peoples e.g. Company Code data will be filled by FI guys.

Dear Raj

In some companies, they would like to have some controls through which only the respective section of people can access the required data of customer master.

A. General Data - Can be accessed by all in a company

B. Sales Area Data - Can be accessed by marketing people

C. Company Code data - Can be accessed by Finance people

thanks

Hi sai,

As you know we have 3 data sources for CMR.

1st we have General data which is at Client level. ie. if you maintain any information for a customer in general data, it will remain same throughout the client. eg. name, contact no. etc.

2nd we have sales area data, A customer can buy a product from one sales area for which he can be given different business information( like Incoterms, payment terms, shipping condition, etc.) so to have all these different we can maintain information based on diff. sales areas.

3rd we have company code data, which is used for financial accounting purposes. eg. payment terms, dunning procedures. etc.

For any more clarification reply to me.

If it helps you , please reward some points.

regards

AKhilesh

General Data - Table KNA1 , Company Code Data - Table KNB1 and Sales Area Data - KNVV.

This will also help in maintaining customers accroding to your various transaction codes -

XD01 /VD01/FD01.

Ofcourse you can change the order in which they appear - General Data/Company Code Data/Sales Area Data and also the order in which the sub screen appear. Tcode BPMDGD for general data, BPMDSD for Sales Area Data and BPMDFI for Company Code data.
