Using this menu option, you define the account groups to which you assign customer master records with the same features (for example, group of one-time customers, group of ship-to parties).

Common features include:

  • structure of the master record input screens (field status)
  • number ranges
  • number assignment (internal/external)

Note

  • With the field status you define
    • into which fields you have to enter data when creating the customer master record of an account group
    • into which fields you can enter data
    • which fields should not be displayed by the SAP System
  • You define with the field status, for example, that the sales tax indicator is not suppressed.
  • Bear in mind that a screen is not displayed when you maintain a customer master record if you have suppressed all of the fields contained in it.
  • You can define the field status to be dependent on either account group or transaction.
  • You do not have to make entries for text determination, partner determination and other sales data at this point. You maintain these fields later when you set the defaults for the individual functions.

Requirements

You must specify an number range for each account group. To do this, you must first define the number range (see section "Define number ranges for customers").

Default settings

The standard SAP R/3 System is configured for typical account groups.

SAP Recommendation

  • If you want to implement new account groups, you should copy the existing account groups and only then make changes. This way, you can test the new account groups at this point (for example, concerning partner determination), even if you have not yet entered the remaining data.
  • The production system should only contain the account groups you require.
  • If you define your own account groups, the keys should start with the letter Z. SAP has reserved this name convention foe this purpose in the standard SAP system.

Actions

  1. Check to what extent you can adopt the settings for the existing account groups in the standard SAP R/3 System.
  2. Copy a similar account group and adapt it to suit your needs. In particular, define the field status of the fields in the master record.
  3. Make the field status dependent on transaction.
