It will take to next screen which details Tab Pages of General data / Company code data / Sales data. Double Click on Tab Page for example: Address, Control, Marketing & so on.

Hi,

You can very well maintain the legacy number ranges in the search term of the customer master general data.This we have done it very successfully in our data migration plan for our rollout project.It is prefered to maintain in search term2 the old legacy numbers.
