Use   

In the Customizing activity Specify Number Range (Grouping) and Address Type you determine for each application (example: real estate contract) and role (example: caretaker) which grouping should be used. Sometimes partners created in different company codes need to use different groupings (and therefore also number ranges). This is especially relevant for customer or vendor roles since the account group of the customer/vendor is determined by the grouping.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

You have the option of determining the grouping of each application category, depending on the three attributes:

  • Business partner category
  • Company code
  • Role

It is possible to leave any of these three attributes blank (or two of them, or even all of them) if the grouping is independent of the attribute. When you create a partner, the system first checks all three characteristic values and then searches for generic (blank) key fields, giving priority to the most specific entry. The attribute "role" is more specific that the company code, and the latter is more specific than the business partner category.

Example

All business partners in company code 0001 have to be created for all contracts with grouping A. In company code 0002 the master tenant with customer account TR0600 is to be created with grouping B. The following applies for all other roles in this company code: grouping C is to be used for natural persons (category 1) and grouping D for all other business partner categories.

You should make the following settings (for easy understanding, a blank entry is indicated by "-"):

App.    Typ    CoCd    Role    Grouping

0036    -    0001    -    A

0036    -    0002    TR0600    B

0036    1    0002    -    C

0036    -    0002    -    D

If you now try to create a master tenant in company code 003, the system will not find any information in this table. It searches for an entry in the company code-independent table. If there is no entry there, when you try to create the partner the system issues an error message.

If you wish to edit a grouping that is intended to be valid independent of type, company code and role, you should leave these fields blank and make the following entries for the contract:

Appl    Typ    CoCd    Role    Grouping

0036    -    -    -    X

The system then uses grouping X for all partners created in contract management and for whom there are no specific entries in the table. The company code-independent table is not read in this case.

Note

It is not possible to determine the grouping to be used without considering the application.
