sales area is different in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi

When i try to create a sales order in sales area say 1000/12/05,

and enter the material say X which contain the division 10 in MM01. The system is showing the messege "ship to party ABC not defined for sales area 1000/12/10.

but when in the initial screen i entered the sales area 1000/12/05.And the same is reflecting in Overview screen. But the messege is saying some diff sales area.

How to solve this ?

Hi Jyothi,

My earlier answer will not work because you cannot create the material in more than one division. So better create one common division (00) in SPRO do the necessary changes and make it as a reference division for customer master data. Then you can enter any material for that customer.

Hope this will work.

Check the Item Division check box tick maintained or not in Sales Order type (for Eg: OR). You will have to try modifying the same and test the Scenario.

Hi Jyoti,

There are 2 cases here

1) If you define the sales area in your initial screen of sales order creation then you need to have your ship to party customer defined in that sales area.I think you need to create your ship to party in the sales area 1000/12/05.It should solve your basic purpose.

2) If you dont enter the sales area in your initial screen then it automatically comes from the ship to party customer master data.

So basically, the sales area is related to your Ship to party customer.

Hi Jyoti,

I think your customer not belongs to sales organization 1000.

If it is in Sals Org 1000. then Plz maintaing data in,

Common Distribution Channel - OVR1

Field - DCh Cust/Mat

Common Division - OVR2

There is a field for DivCust

Plz try this, May this help........

Hi JPT,

As you said your material's division is 10 and you are entering the order in other division (sales area). So better extend the material to the division you are entering the order or go to MM02 and change the division of the material.

Wish this sovles your problem.

Dear Jyothi,

Copy this customer for the Sales Area which is proposed by the Sales Order.

Dear Jyoti,

You need to extend your Customer to Division - 10.

This would solve your problem...

Thanks,
