How quickly do you convert a JDE Address Book prospect to a Customer in F0301?
A sales manager here wants me to add 110,000 Address Book prospects (from F0101) to the F0301 customer master. I think this is a bad idea and will cause more problems than it will solve. I bet that 99% of these 110000 prospects will never become a customer, so why pre-populate the F0301 until we are ready to create a sales order in F4201/F4211?
The sales manager says that our sales team is slowed down if they have to wait for our Accts Receivable manager to add a new customer to the F0301 customer master.
Up till now we have not allowed our sales team to add a Customer Master. P4211 DREAM writer processing option 23 is set to N. Some do not want our sales team modify/adding records to F0301 or the Address Book.
A new customer (former prospect) would be added to F0301 with these attributes:
- A5TRAR field payment terms set to PREpay
- A5ACL field credit limit is set to $1.
BILLING INSTRUCTIONS:
- A5BADT field set to X (Bill To and Ship To)
- A5ASN field set to ASFTUL (because we are on Advanced pricing)
- a bunch of other fields in F0301 would have to be filled with the appropriate default values as our business rules allow.
