HI,
Can any body tell me what is relation between party and customer.
I found a lot of documentation but still confusing.
the problem we are facing is in CRM module when quotation is creted for the existing customer by selecting customer system is creating some duplicate sites bill to ship to in receivables.
We are facing so many problems like (sites increased for the customer,statement spliting for different bill to sites)
Regards,
Stalin

In AR (Account receivables ) or TCA ( Trading community architecture ) , we usually comes across two common terms, party and customer. though both link each other still there are always confusion, Below is the difference between party and customer , hope this will be helpful
Points differentiates a Party and Customer which is as follows
Party
a) Prospective Customer and more relevant for CRM Purposes
b) No Business Transactions involved (Sales Order, Sales Invoice, Debit Memo, Credit Memo, Receipt etc.,)
c) A Party does not have account but have Sites
d) A Party can exist without Customer Record
e) A Party Record will not have record in following tables
HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS
HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALL
HZ_CUST_SITE_USES_ALL
HZ_CUST_ACCOUNT_ROLES
HZ_CUST_ACCT_RELATE_ALL
Customer
a) A Customer which is used both in CRM as well as in OM,Financials or any other module.Example (A Sales Order in OM or Invoice in Receivables cannot be created without creating a Customer record for the Party).
b) A Business Transaction like a Sales Order, Invoice,Debit Memo,Credit Memo,Receipt can be created.
c) A Customer will have account and as well as Sites.
