Fields KUNNR vs KNDNR!

Hi all,

What the difference between two fields KUNNR and KNDNR?

Which one should i use to be a characteristic in CO-PA?

Thanks,

Hi,

KUNNR is the sold-to-party in SD.

KNDNR is always filled in CO-PA with the Sold-to party by default unless you change this behavior via some derivation logic / user exit.

Hi Waman,

I know that but I wonder, why the system do not use KUNNR instead of define another field like KNDNR>

And when I maintain operating concern structure, the system issue a warning: field KUNNR and field KNDNR are indistinguishable?

So, what should I next?

Thanks for your reply!

Hi,

KNDNR is a fixed field in COPA i.e it is delivered by SAP and in case of SD documents it is automatically filled with KUNNR from SD i.e. the sold-to-party. So there is no need for you to create another char called KUNNR.

I have seen some customers who have both KUNNR and KNDNR because they do not want the system defined logic i.e. through derivation (tcode KEDR) they overwrite KNDNR with another value of their choice. In that case it makes sense to also have another char KUNNR since then you want to capture customer and sold-to-party seperately.
