In this step, you maintain the settings for the business partner account groups for the industry-specific components for media.

The business partner account group is the same as the grouping for the SAP Business Partner. You must specify the grouping for each business partner master record you create in the industry-specific components for media. The grouping controls which number range the system chooses.

In this Customizing step, you define an account group for each grouping you have defined in the Customizing settings for the SAP Business Partner and make assignments between the two.

You can assign an account group from the customer and/or vendor master to each business partner account group. An account group from the customer or vendor master can be assigned to several business partner account groups.

These account groups are used when creating customer or vendor master records. You must also make this assignment between the grouping and the account groups in FI in the next Customizing step.

You can make the following assignments for each account group:

  • Customer field

    Customer account group in FI or SD

  • Vendor field

    Vendor account group in FI or MM

  • Grouping field

    Grouping in the SAP Business Partner

Requirements

The customer and vendor account groups must already be set up in FI. Use the search function to access the corresponding Customizing activities in the standard IMG:

Standard settings

The FI component in the standard delivery contains the IS-M-specific account groups for customers and vendors as a default setting.

Recommendation

Make sure that the following applies:

  • The limits of the number ranges for the account groups you create here must correspond to those of the FI account groups to which they are assigned.
  • External number assignment must be specified for the FI account groups.

Activities

  1. Check which account groups you require in the industry-specific components for media.
  2. Create any new account groups required as follows:
    1. Specify an alphanumeric key of up to 4 characters for the account group.
    2. Enter a text for the new account group.
    3. Enter the desired assignments in the following columns, starting from the left:
    4. Customer: Assign the business partner account group a customer account group from FI or SD.
      Group: Assign the business partner account group a vendor account group from FI or MM.
      Grouping: Assign the business partner account group a grouping for the SAP Business Partner.
  3. Once you have assigned the IS-M account groups, maintain the assignments of internal and external account groups for the individual business partner roles, at least for the roles AG, RE, RG, and WE. To do this, choose the IMG activity Define Partner Roles.

Further notes

  • In FI, the number ranges for account groups can only be used for automatic business partner transfer from the industry-specific components for media.
