SAP SD Customer Master Interview Questions

Why does the customer master have different views?

In addition to the Sales and Distribution data, the accounting data is also impo
rtant for a payer.
Therefore, one can create a customer master record centrally for the following
partner functions:
For the payer.
For the sold-to party who, in addition to the other partner functions, also take
s on the function of the payer.
Which different partner functions can a customer master record serve?
Customer:
- Sold-to party
- Ship-to party
- Payer
- Bill-to party
- One-time customer including all partner functions.
What is the structure of data in the customer master record?
Different data is maintained in each of the three areas:
General data, like address and telephone number, etc., is maintained for every c
ustomer. This data is only identified by the customer number, not by company cod
e or sales area. Maintaining the data is possible from both the accounting view
and the sales and distribution view.
Company code data is only of interest for the accounting department. It includes
, for example, information on insurance or account management. This data applies
to only one company code.
Sales and distribution data is only of interest for the sales and distribution d
epartment. It includes, for example, data on pricing or shipping. This data only
applies to one sales area, and therefore, is dependent on the sales structure (
sales organization, distribution channel, division).
Would you have different customer numbers if your customer was serviced by more
than one company code?
No.
Would you have different customer numbers if your customer was serviced by more
than one sales organization?

No.
A material is produced in plant Boston, plant Dallas and in plant Chicago. How m
any different material master number do you need?
Only one.
Is it possible to have different data for the same customer for different sales
areas?
Yes.
Give examples of general data in the customer master record ?
Address, Control data, Marketing, Payment transactions, Contact person, Unloadin
g points.
Give examples of company-code-specific data in the customer master record?
This data is only of importance to the accounting department. It includes, for e
xample, data on insurance and account management. Company code data only applies
to one company code. If you edit the customer master record you must specify cu
stomer number and company code in order to access the screens containing company
code data.
If a customer wishes to receive goods on Tuesdays only, how could you ensure tha
t in the SAP R/3 system?
This can be done by specifying goods receiving hours - Time schedule of ship-to
party which specifies the days and times that goods can be delivered.
Name at least five different partner functions.
Examples of partner functions in Sales and Distribution:
sold-to party, ship-to party, bill-to party, payer.
Examples of partner functions (roles) in Materials Management:
ordering address, supplier of goods, invoicing party, different payee.
Which are the two partner functions in SD that have to be maintained in FI too ?
Sold-to party, payer.

SAP SD Corporate Structure Question

In R/3 you can represent a company's structure by defining and assigning corpora
te structure elements. What is the purpose of doing that?
Enterprise organization diagram. Chart showing the organizational structure of a
n enterprise, its organization units and how they are related.
A combined structure can be created from the point of view of accounting, MM, S
D.
This structure forms a framework in which all business transactions can be proc
essed.

ir function?
Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products,
negotiates terms of sale, and is responsible for these transactions.
Distribution channel: Channel through which salable materials or services reach
customers.
Typical distribution channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales.
You can assign a distribution channel to one or more sales organizations.
Division: Product groups can be defined for a wide-ranging spectrum of products.

for example, partial deliveries, pricing and terms of payment.
Within a division you can carry out statistical analyses or set up separate mark
eting.
Name the three internal organizational elements within a sales organization and
briefly explain their function.
Sales Office. Geographical aspects of the organization in business development a
nd sales are defined using the term sales office.

Sales offices are assigned to sales areas. If you enter a sales order for a sal
es office within a certain sales area,
the sales office must be assigned to that area.
Sales Group. The staff of a sales office may be subdivided into sales groups.
For example, sales groups can be defined for individual divisions.
Salespersons. Individual personnel master records are used to manage data about
salespersons.
You can assign a sales person to a sales group in the personnel master record.
What does the term "business area" refer to and how can it be used?
Business Area. The system posts costs and revenue according to the business are
a.
The business area can be equivalent to the : sales area (if the accounts are t
o be posted according to sales)
plant/division (if the accounts are to be posted according to products)
The business area is defined in Customizing for Sales.
o Business area. A unit in an enterprise, grouping product and market combinatio
ns as homogeneously as possible for
the purpose of developing unified business policy.
o Financial Accounting (FI). A business area is an organizational unit within fi
nancial accounting which represents

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? Which (sub) module o
f SAP could make business areas obsolete?
Yes in CO .
What is a credit control area? What relationship exists between credit control a
reas and company codes?
Credit control area. Organizational unit in an organization that specifies and c
hecks credit limits for customers.

Which organizational element is central in shipping? Give a definition of it.
Shipping Point: Organizational unit at a fixed location that carries out shippin
g activities.
A shipping point could, for example, be a company's mail department or a plant'
s rail depot.
Each delivery is processed by only one shipping point.
Give a definition of plant (in SAP).
Organizational unit within Logistics, serving to subdivide an enterprise accord
ing to production, procurement,
maintenance, and materials planning aspects.
A plant is a place where either materials are produced or goods and services pro
vided.
Classification: Business object
Structure: A plant can assume a variety of roles:
As a maintenance plant, it includes the maintenance objects that are spatially l
ocated within this plant.
The maintenance tasks that are to be performed are specified within a maintenan
ce planning plant.
As a retail or wholesale site, it makes merchandise available for distribution a
nd sale.
As a rule, the plant is the organizational unit for material valuation.
The preferred shipping point for a plant is defined as the default shipping poin
t, which depends on the shipping condition and the loading condition.
For the placement of materials in storage (stock put-away), a storage location i
s assigned to a plant.
The storage location depends on the storage condition and the stock placement s
ituation.
The business area that is responsible for a valuation area is determined as a fu

A plant can be subdivided into storage locations, allowing stocks of materials t
o be broken down
according to predefined criteria (e.g., location and materials planning aspects)
.
A plant can be subdivided into locations and operational areas.
Subdivision into locations takes geographical criteria into account,
whereas subdivision into operational areas reflects responsibilities for produc
tion.
Can a sales organization sell from a plant belonging to a different company code
?
Yes.
How many shipping points can you assign to a plant?
Many.
How many shipping points can you assign to a sales organization?
None.
If you have a warehouse management system active, to what would you assign the w
arehouse number?
Plant & Storage Location.
Sales and Distribution - Transfer of Requirements T
he MRP department is informed about the quantities
and deadlines by which incoming orders should be delivered.
The system checks the availability of the goods based on the requested delivery
date of the customer and
creates MRP records which contain all necessary information for passing on to p
lanning.
It ensures that the goods are available in time for the delivery.
Materials planning transfers the reported requirements and creates orders or pu
rchase requisitions from them etc.
For controlling transfer of requirements, you have to carry out the following s
teps:
1. Each requirement type has to be allocated to one requirement class only.
2. The transfer of requirements must be switched on at requirements class level,
the sales documents at schedule line level.
3. You must define a check group. It is possible to have this check group propos
ed
for the initial creation of a material master record.
4. Note that a plant must exist for transfer of requirements to be carried out a
t document item level.
OVZG
- Requirement class It specifies the following points:
- whether an availability check and a transfer of requirements is carried out f
or a transaction
(for sales documents, fine tuning using the schedule line category is possible)
,
- whether the requirements are relevant for MRP,- the allocation indicator from
the sales view which controls the settlement of customer requirements with requi
rements
- whether an item is to be settled to an auxiliary account assignment,
- the settlement profile,- the results analysis key. (Use transaction SM30 for V
_* configuration)
OVZH
- Requirements type

V_TVEPZ_V - Assignment of requirement type to Transaction

V_TVEP_V - Schedule line category
OVZ2
- Define Checking Group
V_TMVFU - Define the checking group that the system proposes when you create a
new material master record.
You can overwrite the default value for the checking group in the material mast
er record.
Define whether the Material can be used at which Sales and Distribution process
Here you define how the system responds when entering a sales and distribution d
ocument with
this material in the different Sales and Distribution Process Flow..
You can use the material status, for example, to prevent orders from being enter
ed for
parts to be discontinued.
OR
To temporary block the creation of Sales Order for a certain materials.
Set the material status parameters in transaction SM30, Table Views V_TVMS.
Click Maintain and double click into the Materials Status code.
You can set three types of response for each Sales and Distribution process :1. no dialog
2. warning when entering the document
3. error message (that is, the sales and distribution document cannot be entere
d on
the basis of the material status)
Define Tax Determination Rules
You specify the valid tax types in transaction OVK1.
More than one tax type can be defined for a country by defining the sequence.
The SAP System determines the taxes automatically within pricing.
In the standard SAP R/3 System, the elements of tax calculation are predefined
(for example, tax condition type "MWST" for taxes on sales and purchases).
Assign the plant for Tax Determination in OX10, using the country key, the SAP S
ystem
recognizes which tax type is valid for a plant and thus which taxes are relevant
when
creating an SD document.
Define the Customer Taxes in OVK3, you will maintain the tax code in Customer Ma
ster.
Define the Material Taxes in OVK4, which will then be maintain in Material Maste
r.
For example :MWST
GST
0
Tax Exempt
MWST
GST
1
Liable for Taxes
Now, you define the Tax Determination in VK12.
VK12 - Domestic Taxes/Export Taxes
Condition Type
MWST
Customer Taxes
Material Taxes
Rate Taxes
0
0
0 %
0
1
0 %
1
0
0 %
1
1
9 %
In this example, if both the Customer Master and Material Master Tax code is 1,
Tax will be included when you create the Sales Order.
Link Between SAP SD, MM & FI

The link between SD and MM :1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied fr
om Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you co
ntrol this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order,
the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group
, plant data, shipping conditions etc.
This also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the
sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise
you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM.
Now the link between SD and FI :1.
Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods mo
vement takes place in the background.
eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to t
he customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM.
Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good
s hits some G/L account.
2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents
(invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link betwe
en SD and FI
3.Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link
between SD and MM

Update of the credit value is active for the corresponding item type if the
check box is
marked. This field corresponds to field "Active receivable" in Transaction
VOV7.
Item type:
Active receivable:
14. Transaction V/08, Pricing
In the pricing procedure used for pricing, subtotal "A" must be entered in a
line for
determining the credit value (mark the pricing procedure and double click on
"Control").
Usually, the net value plus taxes is used. This way the system is determined to
use this subtotal for credit pricing.
The credit price is stored in field VBAP-CMPRE and used for update and credit
check.
You can find the used pricing procedure of the order under "Item -> Condition > Analysis".
Pricing procedure:
Line with subtotal = 'A':
15. Transaction OB45
Which update group (field "Update") do you use in the relevant credit contro
l area? The
default setting is "12". If you use another update group, check whether this
is fine with
you. If you open an OSS message, please tell us the alternative update group
.

16. Transaction OMO1

Which kind of update did you choose for structure S066?
In any case, "Synchronous update (1)" has to be chosen as the kind of updat
e.
All other settings will lead to errors.
SAP FAQ (SD)
Master Data
Q: Some materials have been blocked for procurement and production.
Even though deletion flag is set for a material/plant level, the order can be s
till entered
( with a warning message). Is there a way to block such transactions for a mate
rial flagged for deletion?
A: Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the material master may
be used to block any transaction for the material.
Q: We can define our own exchange rate types and use them instead of the default
ed types, 'M', 'B' and 'G'. How can we overwrite default types in SD?
A: Exchange rate gets copied from the customer master record.
Exchange rate types are to be maintained for the customer in the sales screen o
f the customer master record. Shipping
Q: The PL00 condition is fine in delivery. But when we try to print to either th
e screen or printer, an error V1032 occurs. Why?
A: In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in delivery) you must do
'Packing' in the delivery note (edit->packing)
Q: we have to enter a shipping point while creating a delivery. Is it possible t
o create delivery without shipping points?
A: When you are releasing a sales order, choose Sales document -> Subsequent fun
ctions-> Create delivery, then the shipping point will be brought in from the sa
les order. In all other scenarios you have to key in the shipping point. The abo
ve described scenario will only work if all items on the sales order are to be s
hipped from the same shipping point.
Billing
Q: SAP allows a non-inventory item and an inventory item to be in the same docum
ent till delivery but splits at the time of creation of billing document. Can we
combine a non-inventory item with an inventory item in one invoice? Can we trea
t it as a value item in sales order so that it is priced and then make it as a t
ext item in delivery documents so that it appears in the same invoice and does n
ot split?
A1: Make the non-stock material deliverable, but not pickable. Both items will c
arry into the delivery, and therefore appear on the same invoice.
A2: Change the copy rule for orders->invoices and deliveries->invoices to specif
y that invoice combination is permitted. However note that for system to create
combined invoices, PO number, payment terms, sales organization, and distributio
n channel must be identical. Else undesirable combinations may be created by the
system.
Pricing Conditions
Q: It is impossible to price at the material level (matnr) , when a material has
a pricing reference (mvke-pmatn) set up against it in the master data. Pricing
always look for the pref, even if a price is set up against the material and not
the pref. How can we price by material and pref?
A: The field used to look up at the price is defined in Access sequence. You may
find a step with PMATN as material number. If you insert a step with MATNR then
the system will first look for the material, if not found (use the exclusion ti
ck box) it will look for the pref.
Customizing

Q: We generated a new condition table. Assigned the condition to access sequence

. Created a condition record. Access sequence is assigned to the output type. Bu
t when we create a billing document, output screen comes up blank for the output
type. When we look up Determination Analysis, we get an error "Note 524 Access
not made (Initialized Field)". What else is required to be done?
A: Assign output determination procedure to the header of the document and the o
utput type.
Q: How can we set up to have the VAT# be accepted in the Ship-To Master File Dat
a Control screen?
A: IMG->Fin. Acct.>AR and AP ->Customer acct>Master Record -> Prepare to Create
Customer-> Define Acct. Group.
Q: We want to explode Bill of Material automatically at time of Order entry and
explode an Equipment BOM in the sales order. What are the setting required?
A: Use an item category that is configured for bills of material for having a sa
les BOM to explode automatically.
Standard SAP item categories are :
TAQ - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM header level
TAP - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM item level
These can be automatically derived using the item category groups ERLA and LUMF,
respectively.
Q: How can we make the Customer Group 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5) a mandatory field?
A: Logistic General-> Logistics Basic Data: Business Partners -> Customers -> Co
ntrol -> Define account groups and field selection for customer
Choose Customer Acct. GR. (double-click). -> Field Status: Sales data (double cl
ick) -> sales (double click) .Check the radio button against Customer Gr as REQ.
ENTRY. Save the settings to make customer GR entry mandatory .
Q: Is there an user exit to copy the data into planning table?
A: Use user exit MCP20001 and include ZXSOPU01.
Others
Q: We get a report screen: "Goods issue: Problem Log" during the delivery proces
s when activating Post Goods Issue button. We want to include our own error mess
age to this list if the selected batch is not on a customer defined table. What
is the best way?
A: Try User exit - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE Difference between Condition T
ype
Please explain the difference between Ek01 ( Actual Cost) and EK02 Calculated Co
st.
These are the condition type that will display the results of the unit costing f
or certain type of sales document.
EK01 :
If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is issued to the firs
t position on the conditions screen for the item. The value can be used as a bas
is for price determination.
EK02:
If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is simply a statistic
al value which you can compare with the price.
Please note the following points :
1) The condition type must have condition category 'Q' (costing).
2) The condition type must agree with the condition type defined for unit costin
g in the pricing procedure.
Q. I have a customer who is being offered two discounts ie k007 and k005, now I
want to exclude k007 for the next 2 orders or so? I have set the exclusion indic
ator for the condition type, but still the condition is being accepted when I cr
eate a sales order. Am I missing something, how do I do it?
Need to change the validity of the condition record for the condition type K007
defining it not valid for that particular 2 months. And also the settings of th
e Requirements as it is correct that it overrules the exclusion. Accumulate th
e amount of condition types in accounting document
To accumulate the amount of condition types in accounting document without affec
ting the pricing display in billing document.

As an illustration :ZPXX 3500

ZDXX 1000ZWXX 500(all condition types are shown separately in pricing view)
Journal:
Dr Vendor 2000
Cr Sales
2000 (ZPXX - ZDXX - ZWXX)
One way to do it is :Mark the condition types you want to group as statistical and remove the account
assignment key.
Create a subtotal in your pricing procedure that will add them together and put
in the account assignment key for it. This way the individual components will st
ill display on your pricing screen but FI will only get one posting.
Determine sales price with shipping point (Scenario)
You are trying to use shipping point as a key field (with sales org. distributio
n channel and ship-to party together) to determine the sales price.
You created a condition table with the above key fields, and maintained the rele
vant setting (access sequence, condition type and pricing procedure).
There is an error message in the sales order pricing analysis ("access not made"
in the shipping point field).
In the access sequence, you found that the shipping point field's document struc
ture is KOMK.
Can you put to item level field in the condition table and access sequence?
Structure KOMK refers to header of the sales order, but shipping point of course
is on item level.
You'll have to do some settings to reach your goal, it is possible.
Step 1
Append structure KOMP. Do this by changing through SE11 the table KOMPAZ.
This is the include for structure KOMP.
Add a component e.g. ZZVSTEL with component type VSTEL.
Save, activate.
If you want to make more points, assign search help H_TVST to the component.
Ask a programmer if you don't understand this part.
Step 2
Change user exit MV45AFZZ. Say there that field ZVSTEL should be filled with inf
ormation from your shipping point.
Do this under part FORM USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP.
The coding should be like tkomp-zzvstel = vbap-vstel.
Save, generate.
Step 3
Make a new table as you did before, but first maintain your new field in Conditi
on: allowed fields.
When you create your new table you will see you have two shipping points.
With the button technical view you can check which one ZZVSTEL or VSTEL.
Step 4
Finish with the steps you did before. That was ok.
