Reserve Fields In The Customer Master Record

Reserve fields in the customer master record

The customer master includes reserve fields that are not assigned to any particular function. You can assign value to these fields and use them. To maintain the fields, select "Environment -> Additional data" on a customer master maintenance screen. The general data and the sales area data contain different fields:

1. Ten fields were included in table KNA1 (general part of customer master record):
Five two-digit fields:
Five three-digit fields:
Check tables TVKO - TVK9 and the corresponding maintenance views
V_TVV1 - V_TVK9 exist for the fields.
2. Five three-digit fields were included in table KNVV (Sales data of the customer master record):
Check tables TVV1 - TVV5 and the corresponding maintenance views V_TVV1 - V_TVV5 exist for the fields. The fields were included in tables VBAK, VRRP, LIPS, KUAGVZ. Value is also assigned to them in the tables, which means that they were copied from the master record of the sold-party and used in the sales and distribution transaction.

Note

In the standard system, the views are not included in the user interface. However, it is possible for you to include them in the user interface.
