Hi

A customer is created for a particular account group and it controls all the datas in the customer master.

You can check in the transaction OVT0 or OBD2 wherein the account group is defined. The account group also specifies whether the customer is one time account or not and controls for the number range as well.

IN OBD2, in the field status double click on the gen data or company code data or the sales data and you fill find the different control radio buttons which control the customer master.

If you want to see for hich account group a customer is created, in XD03, goto Extras>Admin data.

1) account group controls field status and field control.

2) account group controls number range.

3) with the help of acount group we can decide which fields required and not required and which is mandotory, optional.supress you can decide.

i hope you have understood

Dear Ankur

When you create a master record for a business partner, you must enter an account group. The account group determines:

=> Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data

=> Whether you can or must make an entry in these fields

=> How master record numbers are assigned (externally by you or internally by the system) and the number range from which they are assigned

=> Which partner functions are valid

Whether the business partner is a one-time customer or one-time vendor

Additionally, for vendor master records only, the account group determines:

=> Whether default purchasing data in the vendor master is to be transferred to article master records and purchasing information records

=> Whether there are any other data retention levels below the purchasing organization level (for example, site or vendor sub-range level) at which data can be retained in the vendor master, and if so, what these are

In the standard R/3 System, if you create a master record for the partner function ship-to party, for example, the system proposes an account group. You can also use account groups to define all other partner function combinations (for example, if the ship-to party is also the payer for the goods).

Hi

Account group controls the views and fileds of the Customer Master Records. Customising the Account Group you can define how the customer master should be. WIthout Account Group, you cannot create a Customer Master Record.

Thanks,
