Displaying a Customer Master Record in SAP SD

If you want to display a customer master record, it is not necessary to access all the screens that you had to when creating it. You can directly access selected information. You can mark the data screens with the data of interest to you. You can not carry out any changes in the display mode.

By using the function Goto you can reach every individual screen in the customer master record. You can go forward and backwards in the sequence defined, or access certain screens directly. You can also access screens you did not select on the initial screen.

Steps

To display a customer master record, use the following steps:

1. In the
SD Master Data Screen select, Business partners ®Sold-to Party ®Display ®Display.

You access the screen Display Customer: Initial Screen.

2. Enter a valid sales area and the number of the sold-to party you want to display. Select the data screens you would like to see.
3. If you have selected several screens, you access these screens of the customer master record one after the other by pressing ENTER.
4. If you press ENTER after having reached the last data screen, a dialog box appears in which you are asked whether you want to end the display of the customer.
5. Select Yes and press ENTER to leave the customer master record.

You return to the initial screen Display Customer: Initial Screen.

Displaying Special Information

If you need special information on a customer master record, such as the name of the user who created the customer master record, or the sales areas, you can use special display functions.

User Who Created Master Record

If you want to display the name of the user who created a customer master record, select Extras ® Administrative data in the customer master record display mode. The names of the users who created the customer master record for the accounting department and for the sales and distribution department are displayed.

Sales Areas

If you want to display the sales areas for which the customer master records are maintained, select Extras ® Sales areas ® Sales areas/customer in the customer master record display mode. The system displays a dialog box which lists all sales areas for that customer.

Blocking

If you want to know whether certain blocks have been set for a customer master record, select Extras ® Blocking data in the customer master record display mode. You access the Display Customer screen: Blocking Data. This screen shows you whether the customer has been blocked for the sales and distribution view or whether he has been blocked for specific business transactions in sales and distribution, such as sales order, delivery or billing in sales and distribution. Select Back to return to the customer master record display mode.

Deletion Indicators

If you want to know whether a customer is marked for deletion, select Extras ® Deletion indicators in the customer master record display mode. You access the Display Customer screen: Deletion indicators. This screen shows which parts of a customer's data is marked for deletion. The company code data can be marked for deletion separately from the sales and distribution data. Select Back to return to the customer master record display mode.

Texts

Depending on the screen you are on, the system offers different text groups for processing. If you are on a general data screen, for example, and select Extras ® Texts in the display mode of the customer master record, you access the screen Display Customer: Central Texts. On this screen all the different general texts are listed. You can display them in more detail via Detail Text. Select Back to return to the customer master record display mode.
