creation of customer master data

Every business needs to maintain accurate and complete information about its customers. Customer data is the information maintained about customers/debtors like their names,address,contact details etc.

Before creating customer master data their are some configurations to be done on BP and Vendor side.BP is the central master record used to record all kind of business relationships whether it is a customer, vendor or even an employee. Instead of maintaining separate master records on customer/vendor side a central record is maintained.

First we can customize on customer side

DEFINE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT GROUP

T CODE:OBD2

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING>ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE>CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS>MASTER DATA>DEFINE ACCOUNT GROUP WITH SCREEN LAYOUT.

CREATE VENDOR ACCOUNT GROUP WITH SCREEN LAYOUT

T CODE:XDN1

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING>ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE>CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS>MASTER DATA>CREATE NUMBER RANGES FOR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT GROUP

ASSIGN NUMBER RANGES TO CUSTOMER ACCOUNT GROUP

T CODE:OBAR

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING>ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE>CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS>MASTER DATA>PREPARATIONS FOR CREATING CUSTOMER MASTER DATA>ASSIGN NUMBER RANGES TO CUSTOMER ACCOUNT GROUPS

After customer side customization BP customization can be done

DEFINE NUMBER RANGES

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>CROSS APPLICATION COMPONENT>SAP BUSINESS PARTNER>BUSINESS PARTNER>BASIC SETTINGS>NUMBER RANGES AND GROUPINGS>DEFINE NUMBER RANGES

DEFINE GROUPING AND ASSIGNING NUMBER RANGES

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>CROSS APPLICATION COMPONENT>SAP BUSINESS PARTNER>BUSINESS PARTNER>BASIC SETTINGS>NUMBER RANGES AND GROUPINGS>DEFINE GROUPING AND ASSIGNING NUMBER RANGES

Now we can link BP to Vendor

DEFINE NUMBER ASSIGNMENT FOR DIRECTION BP TO VENDOR

PATH:SPRO>SAP REFERENCE IMG>CROSS APPLICATION COMPONENT>MASTER DATA SYCHRONISATION>CUSTOMER/VENDOR INTEGRATION>BUSINESS PARTNER SETTINGS>SETTINGS FOR CUSTOMER INTEGRATION>FIELD ASSIGNMENT FOR VENDOR INTEGRATION>ASSIGN KEYS>DEFINE NUMBER ASSSIGNMENT FOR DIRECTION BP TO CUSTOMER >BASIC SETTINGS>NUMBER RANGES AND GROUPING>DEFINE GROUPING AND ASSIGN NUMBER RANGES

GL CREATION FOR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

we need to create a gl account for Accounts Receivable before creating Customer Master data as all gl need to be updated to gl as it is a reconciliation account.

CUSTOMER MASTER DATA CREATION

So all the customization needed to create a customer master data is created,now we can create a customer master data
