Hello,

The reason for no KUNNR field in that BAPI because of the fact, customer number generated based on acount group (where number range id is assign of object DEBITOR)..like ship-to-part, sold-to-party..

So if you want to created a customer with own number, you can use IDOC (post in same system) and using customer function module you can pass own number..

Thanks
