common division

[Former Member]

My client has 4 divisions. He wants all the products in 4 divisions to be in a single sales order. I suggested common division. But he is adamant on keeping all the divisions seperate but at the same time wants them in a single sales order. Plz suggest solution.

Can i use user exits here.

Hi Pankaj

The common division factor will not work for you

The assignment in commom division is for conditions and customers only not for materials

Suppose if you have three divisions like 01,02,03

Suppose sales raeas like this 1000,10,01 and 1000,10,,02 and 1000,10,03

In common division if you have assigned 01 against 01 and 02 against 02 and 03 against 03 in VOR2

These 01,02,03 are the divisions for three different products in material master

I beleive this is what you are doing

You will not be able to succeed

If you keep common division as 00 against 01,02,03 in VOR2

Basically the material master then should have 00 against all products then only it will work

But this is what client is against as per your statement

In VOV8 there are 2 fields called check division and item division

These are troubling you

Suppse for a customer who is in sales area 1000,10,01 if you enter a sales order for the product which belongs to 01 no problem the moment if you enter products of 02,03 the trouble starts

Because header division is 01 item division is 02 or 03

When the header div and item div is different these 2 fields check division and item division in VOV8 and their importance comes into picture

The check division is the reaction you want the system to give

Keep this as blank

If item division is ticked then the sales order with header div and item div different is not possible or permitted and i beleive this is what is happening to you

Pls untick the this item div field

Now in this case if the header div and item is diffrent then there should be a SH in the tem div sales area who is assigned to this SP

Means 1000,10,01sales area of SP, order entered for material of div 02

then there should be SH in sales area 1000,10,02 who is assigned to this SP

then only it is possible

Alternatively you have to extend this SP to sales area 1000,10,02 in XD01

For you the best soln is SP has to be extended to all the possible sales areas or the sales areas where material div will fall in XD01

Without this being done it is not possible in SAP

Sol in a nutt shell is

Keep check division blank in VOV8

Untick itemdivision in VOV8

Extend the CMR to all possible sales areas in XD01 for that customer

I know it is slighly difficult area to understand

But if you do some R & D on this you will understand it better

I will be really happy if you reply to this post

Dear Pankaj,

As per my under standing about your requirement.

You can try this

keeping all the divisions seperate

When you do the common divisions you assign same division as common division for the same division.

For example you have there sales areas

100011(Distribution channel)21(Division)

10001122

10001123

10001124

In the common divisions you assign divisions like this

1000+21---->21

1000+22---->22

1000+23---->23

1000+24---->24

at the same time wants them in a single sales order

You assign the single sale document to all slea areas

100011(Distribution channel)21(Division) -->OR

10001122 -->OR

10001123 -->OR

10001124 -->OR

Now you can use OR type for all the division products

I hope this will help you,

Regards,

Murali.

Dear Pankaj

In VA01, after giving the order type, maintain your sales area as follows:-

- xxxx as Sales Organization

- xx as Distribution Channel

- 00 as Division

Once you give the above sales area and execute, in the main screen of the sale order, you just enter the material code and click from the top menu bar "Goto -- Item -- Sales B". You can see a different division flowing there.

Dear Pankaj,

Yes you can able to create single sale order for same division items because you have assigned same division to each division you haven't assign single division to all divisions.

If you want testrict the items division wise and you want all the divisions items in single sales order means it will not possible.

If you want to all the division items in single sales order at once ,you need to create one common division and assign that division to all divisions in the define common divisions screen.

You create master data under that common division.

Try this

After assign single common division to all divisions you create sales order for that common division with different divisions (enter all the division items)in that sales order item level (i.e item level division is different from header division).

To maintain the different divisions in the sales order item level you need to activate Item Division check box in the sales document type detail screen through V0V8 transaction.

I hope this will help you,

Murali.

Hi Pankaj,

Please try to do this kind of setting in your customizing for common division.

Lets see you have if you have four division (11, 22, 33, 44) then in common division just do this kind on setting

10001111+11

1000221111

10003311+11

10003311+11

Just do this and save your setting.

Now go to material master data in sales: sales org. 1 view put division 11 and save it.

Now try to create your sales order with different division.

There is setting for distribution channel also but you have not mention about it so I cant suggest it.

So do that setting also like this only making first distribution channel common for others.

Hope so it will solve your problem

Regards

Raj.

Dear Pankaj

Have 4 divisions as per your clients' requirement and assign those divisions in VOR2 to common division. Now create sale order and post the outcome.
