Reply from Marcel_S on Jan 12 at 9:00 AM 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

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 | | Reply to this email to post your response. __.____._ | In the Spotlight Become a blogger at Toolbox.com and share your expertise with the community.
