Before creating customer / vendor master records in the SAP system, you need to enter the account group on the initial create screen. In SAP Financial Accounting, once the customer/vendor account has been created, you can no longer change the account group anymore. However, if you use partner roles in Sales and Distribution, in some cases you can change the account group from an ordering address to a ship-to address, for example.

The account group in SAP determine the followings:

the interval for the account numbers
whether the number is assigned internally by the SAP system or externally by the user manually (type of number assignment)
whether it is a one-time account
which fields are ready for input or require filled when creating and changing master records (field status)
