MASTER DATA IN SDCustomer MasterThe customer master is a data record that contains all the information pertaining toa client, a customer, or any other business partner who plays a role in the business.As noted, a master data record is shared and updated across the organization. Thecustomer master data is used and updated by the sales department (which maintainsthe customer groups, preferences, classification, and so on) and the finance/accounting department (which is more concerned with things such as bank details,credit classification, and account numbers). The common datasuch as the customersname and addressis used centrally. Based on this requirement, SAP structures

customer master data into three parts:1)General data, which is common to the entire organization2)Sales data, which is specific to a sales area3)Company code data, which is specific to the company codeThis breakdown enables you to segregate authorizations and structure the customermaster data.

Common Terms in Customer Master DataBefore proceeding with how to set up the customer master, you need to understandwhat partner functions and account groups are.

Partner FunctionsIn each sales transaction, different groups or individuals can have different rolesand responsibilities. For example, at the customer location, the party who places theorder can be different from the receiving party. In addition, an invoice may need togo to a different address than that of the payer. Therefore, you have to map all thesedifferent roles in the system, which are called partner functions.When you create customer master data, you also specify the roles that the customerwill play. SAP then copies this information to all the sales documents for this customer.Thus, you can ensure that the delivery is shipped to the door of the ship-toparty and that the correct payer is scheduled to make the payments.The following partner functions are the most frequently used:

1)Sold-to party (AG)2)Ship-to party (AU)3)Bill-to party (RE)4)Payer (RG)

Account GroupsEach partner function is assigned to an account group. Account groups are primarilyused to control the screens and fields required to maintain data for each customer,based on the customers roles. As you will see in the subsequent sections, youcan control several important settings based on the account group.

Creating Customer Master DataThe menu path to access customer master data is SAP Menu Logistics Salesand Distribution Master Data Business Partner Customer.Under Business Partner (see Figure 3.1), the nodes let you create or change otherbusiness partners such as sales partners and forwarding agents.You can use three sets of transaction codes to create and update customer masterrecords:XD01 XD01 gives you the authorization to maintain all views of the customermaster data. Hence, its a master transaction code, which only a few individuals inthe organization should have permission to use.VD01 VD01 confines the user to maintaining the sales area data and generalinformation, preventing access to the company code data.FD01 FD01 is the converse of VD01. It permits the user to maintain the generalinformation and company code data, preventing access to sales data.In this chapter, you will work with XD01 only.T-Code for Create Customer master FD01 / XD01 / VD01 FD01- Company code level & data will be stored in tables KNA1 and KNB1. XD01- Include sales area & data will be stored in tables KNA1, KNB1 and KNVV (With company code data).VD01 Include sales area & data will be stored in tables KNA1, KNB1 and KNVV (w/o Company code data).We will use here XD01 for Customer Master Creation.

The customer master data is divided into three areas:1)The General Data section has common information such ff as the Address tab,which contains name and contact information details, control data (such asindustry, transportation zone, and tax information), payment transaction(bank details and payment card details), marketing (Nielsen ID and otherclassification), and other tabs based on relevance to the business.

2)The Sales Area Data section has tabs called Sales (containing informationon sales groups, pricing classifications, and so on), Shipping (which controlsitems such as delivery priority, shipping conditions, and so on), Billing (fortax classifications, Incoterms, and so on), and Partner Functions.

3)The Company Code Data section has tabs called Account Management (reconciliationaccount details) Payment Transactions, Correspondence, andInsurance. From the General Data and Sales Area Data sections, you can alsobranch out to Extras Additional Data to reach other fields.

One-Time CustomersSome customers require your service once in a lifetime. Therefore, it is not requiredto set up these types of customers. In such cases, you can set up a one-time customermaster record. In this type of customer master, you do not capture any dataspecific to a single customer. This makes the customer master record reusable.Specifically, the same customer number has different names and address informationin different sales documents, and whenever you use a one-time customer numberin a sales order, the system prompts you to enter the actual name and address ofthe customer placing this specific order (Figure 3.3). Since this data is stored only inthe current sales document, you can reuse the customer number. One of the commonbusiness processes where a one-time customer is used is in a regular cash sale.Because the customer pays immediately for the product or service, there is no needto track and maintain a record for future use.

Block A Customer (VD05) This transaction is used to block a customer fromtransacting business with your organization. As seen in Figure 3.4, you have optionsto block sales orders, delivery, and billing documents in some or all the sales areas.

Flag For Deletion (VD06) You can flag a customer master record for deletionusing this transaction. Again, you have the option to delete the data specific to asales area or across the organization. The system also gives you an option to retainthe general data of the customer and delete business-relevant data such as SalesArea. This way, you can retain the basic customer record for future reference.

Defining Account GroupsSAP comes with a set of standard account groups that should meet most businessrequirements. However, if you want to segregate different groups of customerswith different number ranges or screen layouts, you can create additional accountgroups. For each account group, you can control the setup of various screens, fields,and attributes. If you need to set up a custom account group, use the followingpath: IMG Financial Accounting Account Receivable and Account Payable Customer Accounts Master Data Preparation For Creating Customer MasterData Define Account Groups With Screen Layouts.

Defining Account Groups and Field Selection for Customers (OVT0)For each account group, you can customize the screens, mark fields as mandatoryor optional, and even hide them. The purpose of this step is to keep only those fieldsthat are relevant to your business.To do this, start by specifying the account group that you want to customize, andthen click the Details icon. In Figure 3.7, we have selected the account group 0001(Sold-To Party).The Details screen will show you the attributes of the account group, such as thenumber range and partner determination procedure. To customize the field selection,first choose from General Data, Company Code Data, or Sales Data. Doubleclickany of these to go to the Maintain Field Status Group: Overview screen

Defining IndustriesAn industry is a group of customers with the same basic business activity. You canspecify industries of your customers, such as trade, banking, service, manufacturing,healthcare, public service, media, and so on. The Industry appears in thegeneral data of the customer master record (as seen in Figure 3.12) and can be aneffective grouping term.

Defining AttributesSAP provides 10 freely definable attribute fields. You can use these fields to capturevarious attributes or preferences of your customer. They are two-character fields. Toadd values applicable to your organization, click the attribute in the list, and enternew values.

Customizing Fields in the Sales Area DataWe have now covered the settings in the Logistics General menu for customermaster data. Next, the action moves to the Sales and Distribution node in IMGso you can configure fields in the Sales Area data. The path is IMG Sales AndDistribution Master Data Business Partners Customers. The following are

some of the key settings from the list of nodes appearing here

Marketing An enterprises sales and marketing team often classifies customersinto various groups. External classifications such as the Nielsen ID for the customercan be defined here. These fields will appear in the Marketing view in the customermaster.Sales In this section, you can define sales districts that cater to various geographicalareas. You can also create different customer groups. This helps users trackregional sales and derive reports.Shipping Among other functions, this tab lets you define delivery priorities.The value you input here will define the urgency of the order. Regular or importantcustomers can be assigned a higher priority by default. This field gets copied intosales orders, where it can be changed manually, if needed. Delivery priority plays acritical role in getting stock committed to sales orders. You will study it in detail in

Chapter 6, Availability Check, Transfer of Requirements, and Backorders.Billing Document In this section, you can define Payment terms and Incoterms,as required. These are usually set up in consultation with the FI team.

We will use here XD01 for Customer Master Creation.Step 1 Enter T-Code XD01 in Command field.

Step 2 Enter the detail in Address Tab screen as below-1. Enter the title and name of customer.2. Enter search term, for searching customer.3. Enter Street / House Number.4. Enter District / Postal code / City / Country / Region.

Material MasterThe material master contains all the information about the product or service beingsold. This information is shared across the organization and maintained by differentdepartments. Hence, it is structured in views according to the various functionssuch as Purchasing view, MRP view, Accounting view, and Sales view. SD-relateddata is structured in three viewsSales: Sales Org 1, Sales: Sales Org 2, and Sales:General/Plant. These three views will be the focus of the following discussion.

Common Terms in Material Master DataIn your organization, you manage different types of materials such as raw materials,semifinished goods, and finished goods. Materials with a similar set of attributesare grouped under the same material type. The material type, therefore, is the keyto controlling screen sequence, data fields, and data. SAP has a set of predefinedmaterial types that meet most business requirements. Check whether the followingterms match the materials and products you manage in your organization:FERT: Finished productsHALB: Semifinished productsROH: Raw materialsDIEN: ServicesKMAT: Configurable materialsHAWA: Trading goodsFrom the sales and distribution angle, we will be most concerned with products andservices sold to the customer. Hence, FERT, DIEN, and HAWA will be of greaterinterest to us than other material types.

Creating Material Master DataYou can create a material master record using transaction code MM01. The pathis SAP Menu Logistics Sales and Distribution Master Data Products Material Other Material Create.

The Select View(s) button allows you to choose which data screens you want to create.You can always create a material for a certain view first (such as Basic Data) andlater extend it for other views. This is the typical scenario in most organizations,where different departments maintain their own piece of information and thenhand it over to the next group. Based on your selection, you will then have to specifythe organizational levels (plants, sales organizations, and so on) for which the datawill be created.The following are some views that you will come across in the material master. Wewill only discuss the major ones here.

Basic DataThis view contains product data common to the entire organization. Hence, you donot have to specify any specific organizational level to create this view. The materialdescription, units of measure, and attributes such as weight, volume, and statusappear in this view.There are three sales views in the material master: Sales Org. 1, Sales Org. 2, andGeneral/Plant Data.

Sales: Sales Org 1 ViewThis data is specific to a sales organization and distribution channel. The followingare some of the key fields:Units Of Measure Here you specify one or more units of measure used for stocking,selling, delivering, or procuring the material. You can maintain three differentunits of measure for a material:Base Unit Of Measure This represents the unit of measure in which the stocksof the material are maintained. This is the base unit of measure. All other unitswill be converted to the base.Alternative Unit Of Measure If you have more than one unit of measure, youmaintain the alternatives and their conversion to the base unit in the AdditionalData section of the material master. For example, some music CDs are stored asindividual pieces (EA) but could also be sold or procured in packs of 10 (PAC). Inthis example, EA is the base unit of measure; PAC is the alternative unit of measure.The conversion is 10 EA = 1 PAC.Sales Unit Of Measure The unit of measure in which the material is sold is thesales unit. If you need to specify a different unit for sales, enter it here.Quantity Stipulations You can specify any stipulations regarding materialquantity in sales.Minimum Order Quantity This refers to the lowest quantity that a customermust order for this material. The marketing or pricing strategy of your organizationmay set a limit on the order quantity.Minimum Delivery Quantity This refers to the minimum quantity that mustbe delivered to the customer. This is often governed by transportation and logisticalconstraints.Delivery Unit This is the unit in which the material is delivered. If you specifythe Delivery Unit setting as five pieces, then you can deliver in multiples of fiveonly (5, 10, 15, and so on).Sales Status To signify the status of the material in the sales life cycle, you usethe Sales Status setting. Certain products may be new and not yet released in themarket. Others may have reached the end of their life cycle, become obsolete, or bediscontinued. You can update the status in the material master in order to controlor stop the sales of such items. In the material master, you can set the Sales Statussetting specific to a distribution chain (using the field DChain - Spec. Status) oracross the entire organization (using the field X-Distr. Chain Status). These fields areused in conjunction with the validity date to specify when the status will take effect.Tax Data This allows you to specify the tax classification for the material in eachcountry. (We will cover the details and impact of this in Chapter 5, Pricing andTax Determination.)Delivering Plant This is where you specify the default plant chosen to deliver thismaterial.

Sales: Sales Org 2 ViewThis view primarily contains various grouping terms:General Item Category Group This is a critical field that determines theitem category. It controls the behavior and flow of the material across the salesdocuments.Material Pricing Group This field is used in pricing a product. It is used to grouptogether materials that have the same price or pricing condition.Material Group There are five grouping terms provided to classify and group thematerial in various categories.Product Attributes You can capture the specific attributes of the product andcontrol the sales transaction such that the order can be processed only if the attributesare acceptable to the customer.

Sales: General/Plant Data ViewThis view contains some general data and some fields that are plant specific.Plant Specific Information This includes fields such as availability checkinggroup and loading group.Availability Checking Group The availability group controls how stocks arechecked and committed to sales orders. Hence, it is a critical field. It plays a keyrole and will be covered in detail in Chapter 6, Availability Check, Transfer ofRequirements, and Backorders.Loading Group This field plays a role in logistics by determining the shippingpoint. It will be covered in detail in Chapter 8, Shipping and Transportation.General Information Other general data fields include packaging material information,transportation groups, and weight.

Sales Text ViewOn the Sales Text tab, you can maintain a description or notes about the materialin different languages. Through controls in text determination, the text is copied tosales documents.

Material Requirement Planning ViewsData in these views are specific to a plant and storage location. This data containsMRP-related information such as the MRP type, controller, and plant-specific materialstatus. Information relevant to material requirements planning (MRP) is spreadover four views in the material master. They are named MRP1 to MRP4. Settingshere affect material availability check and inventory control.Purchasing ViewThe data in this view is provided by the purchasing department. It includes informationsuch as purchasing groups, handling and procurement of the material, tolerances,and order units

Accounting and Costing ViewThis view contains data about valuation class, standard price, past price and costingdata, and so on.Other viewsOther views that are beyond the scope of this chapter include the following:1)Warehouse Management2) Storage3)Work Scheduling4)Quality Management

Maintaining Material Master RecordsAs discussed earlier, you can create the material master using transaction MM01.The following transactions help you maintain existing material master records:Change Material Master (MM02) To make changes to any field in the materialmaster, you proceed with this transaction code. You specify the material numberand select the view(s) that are to be edited. You can then navigate to the requiredscreen, make the changes, and save the record.Display Material Master (MM03) This transaction provides display rights tothe user.Flag For Deletion (MM16) If any material master is to be discontinued, you canflag it for deletion using this transaction code.Change Material Type (MMAM) If the material type is to be changed at a laterdate, you can do so using this transaction code.

In the Setting For Key Fields node, there is a special submenu critical to sales anddistribution. The path to it is Logistics General Material Master Setting For KeyFields Data Relevant To Sales and Distribution. Two of the important settingshere are Define Sales Statuses and Define Material Groups.(OMSF)

Maintaining a Product HierarchyThe Product Hierarchy field appears in the material master view Sales: Sales Org 2.To maintain the value, use transaction code MM01 (Create Mode) or MM02(Change Mode).Based on the structure of your product line, you can create your own product hierarchy.The standard SAP system offers a three-tiered product hierarchy. Level 1 andlevel 2 are five digits each. Level 3 is eight digits long (and is called the 5/5/8 schema).Thus, the total length of hierarchy adds up to 18 digits.Customizing a Product HierarchyTo configure the product hierarchy, the path is as follows: IMG Logistics General Material Master Settings For Key Fields Data Relevant ForSales and Distribution Define Product Hierarchies Maintenance: ProductHierarchy (V/76).If the SAP standard schema (5/5/8) meets the requirements of your organization,you can maintain the hierarchy levels in this transaction. You can add new entriesto set up the various levels in your product hierarchy. When you enter a hierarchycode, the level number is determined automatically by the system based on thenumber of characters you have entered. For example, if you enter a five-characterentry, the system determines the level number as 1. Similarly, a 10-character entrywould be level 2. Level 3 would have 18-character records.Let us discuss this further with the example of Galaxy Musical Instruments, whichhas adopted the standard 5/5/8 schema shown in Figure 3.27 for its musical instrumentinventory.
