Assign the “placeholder” customer record to the customer master records you have created for your subsidiary. This enables the subsidiary customer to store the SAP Business One end customer ship-to address, in addition to the already available address data, without overwriting it in sales order processing.
In the sales area data segment of the customer master record, you can assign different customer numbers to the partner functions to cover differing or alternative partner data, such as several ship-to addresses or different bill-to partners.
Assign the “placeholder” customer record with the partner function you have created for your “placeholder” customer; for example ZH.
