Customer Master Information is the basic requirement for billing the customer for goods or services that you have sold to them. Every customer record is exclusively defined by a unique number called the Address Book Number.
Set up the processing options for the Address Book application (P01012) and the Customer Master Information program (P03013), in order to create a customer master with a search type of C.
Customer Master Information can be entered through the Address Book program (P01012) or can be entered directly by using the Customer Master Information program (P03013). When you enter the Customer Information by using the Customer Master Information program (P03013), the address book record for that customer should first exist in the system or you should add the Address Book information before creating Customer Master. When you create the Customer Master, you should enter the information for invoice and manual receipt processing, G/L account information, information for processing automatic receipts, tax information, currenc y information, billing and shipping information for processing sales orders, credit and collection information, EDI (electronic data interchange) information for processing sales orders electronically, and category code information for the customer.
