Hi,

I find there are more medium thro which the materials are distributed.I have tried to answer in SD perspective.

Try to have minimum number of channels like Direct sales, BRB & others.

Reg customer account groups u can use the standard groups available.

Apart from the 4 mandatory functions, you can have sales employee in addition to track the sales.

The definition of distribution channel is the channel through which saleable materials or services reach the customer. Distribution channels include selling to consumers through various types of retail outlet or via mail order.

So in your case, you can have one each for direct customer, depot, project etc., so that you can generate MIS reports based on distribution channel wise

thanks
