How to extend existing customer to a another Company code with a different account group.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a customer created for Company code 1000 in the Customer Account Group 'Internal Companies'.

We want to extend the customer to Company code 1010. But from 1010 company's point of view, this should be in the Customer Account group 'Related parties'

Is this classification possible in SAP FI?

If possible, then how this could be achieved? Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramzy,

you can create the new customer with new account group or you can copy the customer master data from company code 1000 to company code 1010. then if you want to change the account group use t-code: XD07.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

Account group is not on company-code level, so this configuration is not possible.

Thanks Eli.

I know that Account groups are created @ client level. but the Account group classification vary company to company. An Intercompany customer for one company is not exactly an intercompany for another company. how this could be resolved?

Hello Farook,

Please use t.code XD01 or FD01 and enter customer number and choose account group press enter, it will through warning message .

General data already exists. Account has

group XXXXX (.XXXX number assgnmnt)

Press enter and mention other fields in company code level and save it.

Thanks Sridhar.

I've tried to your suggestion. Although there's a option to change the Account group when extending the customer to another company code, system takes the initial account group for which the customer was created.

I think this could be resolved by forgetting account groups and run inquiries and reports using reconciliation account where we can have the company wise customer classification.
