When we create a customer in SAP, several groups of information is entered. The Financial related one can be divided into 2 groups:

• Company Code data. This information is related to the company code where the customer is used. Examples of data entered here: recondition account to be used, the payment terms, bank details, the dunning procedure, alternative payer, etc. 

SAP transaction code to enter Customer data is FD01 or XD01. Also following those paths:
