Error While Creating Customer Master Data

[former_member321825]

Hello,

I am trying to create Customer Master data through IDOC and it gives error "Incomplete Data". When I debugged, found that sold to party , ship to party should be entered.

If I am creating Customer for the first time and if sold to party is same as Customer Number then as the customer is not yet created what should be given in sold to part .How do we normally resolve this kind of issue ?

Highly appreciate if anyone can suggest what value should be given in sold to part when the customer is created for the first time .

If you create customers without specifying a customer number because you want that the program picks the new number itself from the internal number range then do not include the E1KNVPM segment and SAP would create the data itself like it is done in XD01 .

Otherwise determine the number of a customer before creating the IDoc using the function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT , this takes the next customer number from the internal number, you use this customer number in your Idoc and it will post using this preassigned number.
