Maintain sold-to party

If you have identified a media customer manually in the Business Partner Search, and this media customer is a business partner in the sales area specified, the system copies the media customer into the order header as the sold-to party. If the sold-to party is not an agency, the system defines the advertiser from the sold-to party during order creation. The order is created when you enter the initial order data and confirm the booking unit for example. During order creation, the system defines a default order number and item category using the Customizing settings that have been made.

Work with dummy sold-to party

If you want to enter classified ad orders without having to first identify customers, create a dummy business partner in the Media Customer role, and assign the component profile for Ad Item Entry to this business partner.

The system defines the dummy business partner as the sold-to party when the order is entered. You must replace the dummy business partner with a media customer before you update the order. To do so, you must find and identify the customer in the Business Partner Search or overwrite the dummy business partner using the identification number for the customer. You cannot update the order using the dummy business partner.
