In the SAP System, all business transactions are posted to and managed in accounts. You must create a master record for each account that you require. The master record contains data that controls how business transactions are recorded and processed by the system. It also includes all the information about a customer that you need to be able to conduct business with him.
The account group is a classifying feature within customer master records. The account group determines:
- in which number range the customer account number should be;
- whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system;
- which specifications are necessary or possible in the master record.
