Debasish,

First, it should be clear about what is "Header division " and "Item division".

Header division

In the create order screen , we enter a order type e.g. OR and our Sales area.

Suppose our Sales area is 1000/10/00, then this sales is copied to the header data and called as Header sales area also.

The division here is called "Header division".

Here ,header division is "00".

Item division

Any material is uniquely belong to only one "Division",which we maintain in the material master in the "Basic data 1".

This is called "Item division".

When you create a sales document ,system searches this item division and copies it to the sales document,which you find in the item detail.

Now,coming to your question.

In the , Sales document type, you have these two check boxes, "Check division" and "Item division".

If the Item division field is not activated ,then system will not search the material master to which division the material belongs to. In this case the header division is copied to each item.

So while you process various related errors will come.

The check division field controls how the system will behave if the header division & Item division are different.

Hi,

Just Type "Item Division" in search term and hit Enter. The very first thread is "Difference b/w Division and Item Division"

Anyways,

The division is termed as the product or product line. Item division means the division which is maintined in the item... the material master.

Division is like a product group say in case of Automobile industry you can have Car,Trucks ets categorized under Division.

Item Devision is something that is specific to a sales document type and you will never find it in any master data as Division (which we can get in Material master).So, item devision is a checkbox field in a sales document type (VOV8) which if checked will indicate that the division cames from the material master and if ticked off will indicate that it comes from the sales order header.

sales org dist channel and item division means the business are will be determined from the Sales Org + distribution channel + division from material master. (system will not consider the division from the sales area).

Best regards,

Amit.

Note: Please make a habit of searching the reqd. content over forum, first.

There will be two divisions in the sales document. One which is at header level and flows from the data entry made while creating the sales document and the other is the division at item level which will be maitained in material master.
