From the list of possible record types, select “Non SAP Customer”
Enter now the information on the account
•In Account name, enter the name of the account, for example 'Bayer CROPSCIENCE'
•Use then the lookup icon to search a Corporate Group
Search for Bayer Corporate Group and once found, click on the Name
You must also define the Partner Sub-Type. You have 2 options:
•Sold-to & Ship-to
•Ship-to
Value “Sold-to” has been removed for consistency purpose, as in SAP, any Sold-to is considered as a Ship-to.
