Dear Hanumanth

Not possible sir

Division is not an organizational unit in SAP in MMR while creating MM01

This means while doing MM01 after inputting material type and industry sector you have to give organizational data like Sales Org,PLANT,DIST CHANNEL ,WAREHOUSE ETC

You will not find division there as a organizational data

It is a field which is there in basic data 1 and sales org data 1 in MM01

Suppose if you change from div 01 to 02 in MM02 then the material belongs to 02 only

It will not exist in both

As per standard SAP a material cannot exist in more than 1 division

No way you can create a single material for 2 divisions or extend the material to 2 divisions

Moreover the division is under the basic data 1 directly under client and can be used across all organizational units like different SO's and Dc's and plants so that all in the logistics(sd,mm,pp) can use it

And the basic data of MMR cannot be changed easily

After seeing our elite friend AMITH's reply i still say

In SAP MATERIAL IS DIVISION SPECIFIC

If you dont maintain division in sales org data 1 tab of MMR then the division from basic data will be taken by the system

Like a sales org is uniquely assigned to a company code in SAP the material is also division specific

If need be you can check with our MM friends

VOR2 will not be useful because it will not check MMRs

In VOR2 screen itself you can see it is for customers and conditions only there wont be materials mentioned in that img activity unlike VOR1 which is for customers,conditions and also materials

Hi Hanumanth,

There is no logic in extending Division in Material master, As u know Division is a org unit, which is based on Products, if u try to manually change the division in Material master also, there will be Business Area problem, because business area mostly trigers with ref to plant/division.

So dont try to do this, and doing a change in configuration is only advisable of any new products or new divison needs to be added, At first better be clear with your requirement, review your issue again. Changing division might be not the solution.

Dear Hanumant,

Very Much Possible

If, your requirement is to use a Particular Material in more than 1 Division, Don't maintain any entry in to Field: Division in to Material Master (T. Code: MM02 --> View: Sales:Sales Org1).

So, at the time of entring Material in Sales Order for any any Division, System will not throw any error.

Best Regards,

Amit

Note: The major draw-back of this MMR maintenance is:

For analysis purpose (Division-wise Sales), you won't get information, for this particular Material.

Hi,

As Mr.Ramanathan said the division is not an organisational unit in material master level.There is no logic in maitaining in two divisions, because the division is mostly for the product line. suppose the product is (bike light) then if you want to define in two division 01 & 02 what is the use.

Hi

You can extend the material to another dist channel , division and plant also .As you are extending just check the assignment part you made in the enterprise structure .

Check in OVX6 wheather (In enterprise structure the following data is assigned between Plants->Sales org./distr.channel)

Check in VOR1 and VOR2 data has been maintained or not
