Hi,
If, for example, a customer who has always fulfilled the
function of a payer then takes on the role of a sold-to
party, you have to assign the new function to the customer.
However, since screen and field selection in the customer
master record are controlled by the account group, you can
only assign the other function by changing the account
group.
Changes to the account group and the accompanying partner
functions can only be made from a lower level to a higher
level. For example, this means that a sold-to party cannot
be assigned the function of a payer as fields which have
already been maintained for this sold-to party would have
to be masked. However, you can assign the sold-to party
function to a payer.
Account Groups Which can be Changed
You can change the account group for the following partner
functions:
Ship-to party
Bill-to party
Payer
The following topic explains how you change the account
group for a payer.
Steps
To change the account group of a payer, proceed as follows:
In the SD Master Data Screen, select Business partners -
Payer - Change account group.
You reach the Change Account Group screen.
Enter the number of the payer whose account group you wish
to change and press ENTER.
You reach the dialog box Company Codes/Sales Areas by
Customer. It shows you which company codes and sales areas
for this payer you must maintain after you have changed the
account group.
Press ENTER.
You reach the Change Account Group Customer: Initial Screen
dialog box which informs you of the account group of the
previous partner function. Here, you enter the account
group of the new partner function you wish to assign to the
payer.
Enter the required account group in the field New account
group and press ENTER.
If fields need to be maintained as a result of the new
account group, you reach the dialog box Change Account
Group: Critical Field Groups, in which the field groups and
fields to be maintained are listed.
If the window is not displayed, no fields need to be
maintained and you can proceed to Step 7.
Press ENTER.
You reach the Change Account Group dialog box where you can
change the account group if you made an error previously.
Check your entry and press ENTER.
You branch to the customer master record where you can
maintain the new fields for the new account group.
If the customer has been created for several company
codes/sales areas, master record maintenance is carried out
here for the company code/sales area which was displayed
first in the dialog box Company Code/Sales Areas by
Customer.
You only branch directly to customer master record
maintenance if you have the authorization to change master
records. Otherwise, these fields must be maintained at a
later point in time by someone who has the authorization to
do so.
Maintain all the screens in the customer master record
which you feel are important. Maintain all the mandatory
fields at least.
If you press ENTER after having reached the last screen, a
dialog box is displayed in which you can save your data.
Select yes and press ENTER to save your data.
You receive a message informing you that the account group
of the customer master being processed has been changed.
Press ENTER.
You return to the Change Customer Account Group : Initial
Screen and you receive a message informing you that the
changes have been saved.
You have now completed the maintenance of the new fields in
the customer master for the first company code/sales area.
If the customer has been created for several company
codes/sales areas, maintain the fields for the remaining
company codes/sales areas as well. The company codes/sales
areas for the customer are displayed in the dialog box
Company Codes/Sales Areas by Customer (see Step 3).
It may make sense to block the customer until all the
necessary data has been maintained.
