[Former Member]

Hello All

If in any case Sold to Party , Ship to party , BP and PY are different , then how can I make these changes in SAP system. I have created a customer " XYZ" through xd 01 and when I go to partner function Tab , It is showing all functions alloted to XYZ.

Now If I want that Ship To Party sholud be XYZ's Mumbai unit and payer should be XYZ's delhi office in that case how can I make changes in the sysytem.

please explain in detail with Path to be used to make changes.

Thanks & Regards-

Yes, when you create sold to party from XD01, system always allocates XYZ to all the partner functions. SP, SH, PY and BP. But you always have provision to change SH, PY and BP. For this, you have to first create a new SH or PY or BP from XD01.

Go to XD01 and select the account type as 0002 - Ship to Party. (if you are using a Z account group select that). Provide all the details for the ship - to. Save it. Make sure that ship to party is created at the same sales area as that of sold to party.

Now Go to XD02, give your sold to party number, give the sales area (where you want to put in the new SH party), go to partner function and assign the new ship to party to the sold to party.

Note: you can completely remove XYZ as ship to and put in the new number (say XYZ1) or you can keep XYZ as ship to party and assign a new one as well. One sold to can have multiple ship to.

Hope this helps...

hello mukund your reply is quite helpful . I tried same procedure but the problem is that I have created account group for a particular company XYZ and and account group series starts from 3000000542 . so while creating customer through XD01 first I Use XYZ Account group and system automatically assigns 3000000542 to the the customer A. which is also SOLD to Party . now I use 0002 ship to party/003 BP as account group then system picks up a new series 600003 / 600004 and so on . ànd it gets created. so I want to know that is it ok or there is some other procedure through which system can pick 3000000543 for ship to party.

It depends. The number is being picked up from the number range you have assigned (or that is present) for the account group. It does not matter unless your business wants it all in one series (Sold to and ship to). But usually business prefers to have Sold to in one series and ship to in another series if the business has more than one ship to for a sold to. So it will be easy for the business to recognize.

The number range does not matter. What matters is the the account group by which you are creating the customer.

Hope this helps...

I think your question has been answered.

You can also determine partner functions at Sale Document Header level . Here you can define even different SH/ BP/PY partnerfunctions , other than the customer master.

IMG -> SD -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Setup Partner Determination -> Partner Determination For Sales Doc Header

Pls refer following link for further details :--

Hi Abhi

If you want Ship to Party for XYZ's Mumbai unit then you need to assign another ship to party (Ex: XYZ1).So you need to create XYZ1 customer in another account group exclusively for ship to party and assign it to XYZ customer
