F2294 - Details

  • Error Code: F2294

    Error Message: Customer &1 currently refers to vendor &2


    Summary

    This error indicates that the customer master record you are trying to create or modify is already linked to a vendor master record in the system. SAP does not allow a customer to be assigned if it is currently referenced as a vendor.


    Root Causes

    • The customer number is assigned as a vendor number in the system, causing a conflict.
    • Cross-referencing between customer and vendor master data exists due to business processes like intercompany transactions or shared master data.
    • Incorrect master data maintenance where a number range overlaps or the same number is used for both customer and vendor.
    • Attempting to create or change a customer master record without checking existing vendor master data linkage.
