To create an Account group, Goto Tcode: SPRO -- Financial Accounting -- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -- Vendor Accounts -- Master Data -- Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data -- Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors).

Here you can define your own account groups and can maintain screen layout for that particular account group.
The field status can be maintained for general data, purchasing data, company code data.
Just double click on general data, then double click on 'address'here u can maintain the field status for address screen in vendor master. Like wise for others.

SPRO -- Financial Accounting -- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -- Vendor Accounts -- Master Data -- Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data -- Create Number Ranges for Vendor Accounts. Here you maintain number ranges for the account group.

Ship to party- Who receives the materials. Goods can be supplied to many parties.
