  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You tried to change the customer name for an existing customer number
    and address. The customer is not uniquely identified by a VAT
    registration number, that is, either the number is empty or it contains
    a generic value.
    Unless the customer is uniquely identified by a VAT registration number,
    the customer name cannot be changed if the customer number has been used
    in documents that have been posted with a Portuguese digital signature
    (in a Portuguese company code or in a Portuguese organizational unit of
    a foreign company code). This restriction applies to all changes,
    including the correction of errors.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    System Response

    The system prevents the change.
    Note that until you run the report
    <DS:RE.SIPT_MASTER_DATA_MIGRATION>Record Customers Used in Invoices
    with Dig. Signature (PT)</> (<AB>SIPT_MASTER_DATA_MIGRATION</>), the
    system blocks master data changes for <ZH>all customers </>that might be
    used in a document with a Portuguese digital signature (that is,
    customers that are assigned to company codes for which documents with
    Portuguese digital signatures can be created).
    After you have run the report, the name change is blocked only if the
    situation described under <LS>Diagnosis</> applies.

    How to fix this error?

    If you have run the report and you still cannot change the name, you can
    do one of the following:
    Create a new customer master record with the required customer name.
    Assign a valid VAT registration number to the existing customer master
    record. Note that you must save the VAT registration number before you
    change the customer name.
