Re: [sap-log-sd] Common Distribution of Channels and Assign SORG,

In sales area assignment you create all sales areas based on all distr
channels you have

sales org dist channel division
NL01 01 01
NL01 02 01
NL01 03 01

If you do not define the common distr channel, you will have to create
customer master data for all 3 distr channels.

If you define common distr channels as follows:

distr ch common distr ch
01 01
02 01
03 01

then you only have to create customer master data once (for 01).
That data will be picked up in sales documents created for all 3 distr
channels

Subject: Common Distribution of Channels and Assign SORG,

Hi,

When we are doing the config. settings in IMG assigning sorg, dch and plant, the F1 help for dch says:

Reference distrib.channel for customer and material masters
Specifies a distribution channel that you want to use as a reference for customer and material master data for other distribution channels.

Procedure
You can specify one distribution channel as the source of customer and material master data for other distribution channels. You need then only to maintain the data in one place.

Example
Distrib.channel Ref.distrib.channel
01 01
02 01
03 01
04 04

In this example, only distribution channels 01 and 04 have customer and material master data defined. Distribution channels 01, 02, and 03 share the master data that you defined for distribution channel 01. Distribution channel 04 has its own master data. When you create a sales order in distribution channel 03, the system checks the customer and material master data against the data defined for distribution channel 01

In that case, why do we again need to assign common dist channels specially?

Thanks and regards,
Saps
