Structure customer master record

The structure of master data in the customer master record is comprised of these three
areas:
• General Data
This includes information such as address, telephone number, etc.,
and is maintained for every customer. This data is only identified by the customer
number, and is not specific to the company code or sales area. Maintaining the data
is possible from both the company code view ([XD02]) and the sales and
distribution view ([VD02]).
• Company Code Data
This data is mostly of interest to the accounting department.
It includes, for example, information on the reconciliation account and dunning
procedures and withholding tax. This data applies to only one company code.
Transaction code [XD01] is used to create customer master data, with company code
relevant data.
• Sales and Distribution Data
This data is only of interest for the sales and
distribution area. 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).
