Figure 63: Account Groups for Customers
InthesamewayasforG/Laccountsandvendoraccounts,customeraccountsare
stored in various account groups, so that they can be organized and managed
more easily.
The accounts in an account group usually have similar characteristics. For
example, you could have one account group for domestic customers, one for
customersabroad,oneforaffiliatedcustomers,andoneforone-timecustomers.
Account groups have a number range assigned to them. Number ranges are
of two types:
• Internal: Do not enter a customer number when creating the customer.
Instead,thesystemassignsyouacustomernumberfromthenumberrange
assigned to the account group when the new customer master record is
