In this step, you define the business partner groupings. You use business partner groupings to define the number ranges for different groups of business partners in business partner management. You also assign the account groups for debit-side business partners to create customer accounts in Financial Accounting.

Requirements

Make sure that the number ranges you want to enter here have already been created for the business partner.

In Customizing for Financial Accounting you must also have defined the account groups and the number ranges for creating customer accounts which are assigned to the account groups.

In the following Customizing steps you can check the existing settings and make any necessary changes or additions:

  • Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records -> Define account groups with screen layout (customers)>.
  • Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records -> Create number ranges for customer accounts.
  • Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records -> Allocate number ranges to customer account groups.

Activities

  1. To create a business partner grouping, specify a grouping key and assign a business partner number range, a customer account group and a description of the business partner grouping to this key.
  2. If you want to use the business partner grouping for a collective business partner, flag the corresponding indicator. For a collective business partner you must select a one-time account group as the customer account group.

Further notes

Collective business partners are not supported in Real Estate Management.

The customer account group is used to create a customer account in Financial Accounting.

If no account group for customers is specified, the creation of customer accounts can be suppressed. This is sensible, for example, if the tenants are already usually created in the system as customers.
