Hi

SAP has the concept of common distribution channel for sharing master data( for customer/material and conditions) across multiple distribution channels under a sales orgsnization

That means say if you have the sales org say 1000 and three distribution channels under them say 10,20 and 30

Now you create a common distribution channel say 40 and assign them in VOR1 like this

sales org--DC-common distribution channel for customer/material ---common DC for conditions

1000--


10
40
--


40

1000--


20
40
--


40

1000--


30
40
--


40

Now you can or need to create master data for customer/material and conditions only for DC 40

There is no need to create separate master records for 10 and 20 and 30 distribution channel's

That one master record created for DC 40 will solve the purpose for 10 and 20 and 30 distribution channel's

*When you create a sales order for the distribution channel say 10 system will check whether that customer is created for DC 40 and material is created for DC 40 and condition record is valid in DC 40*

Similarly for distribution channels 20 and 30 also system will check whether that customer is created for DC 40 and material is created for DC 40 and condition record is valid in DC 40

That means whenever you say DC as 10/20/30 in sales order system will take that as DC 40 and whatever is valid for DC 40 will be applicable for 10/20/30

Instead of three master records one record in the name of DC 40 is sufficient

Similarly for common division but with a difference

The common divisions is for customer and conditions only not for materials

You can see this in VOR2 go to VOR2 t code and observe the difference of that with VOR1

This is a key assignment in SAP and without this being defined you cannot create CMR, or MMR or condition record and one in t codes VOR1 common distribution channel and VOR2 common division

This is a fundamental basic concept any SD consultant should be very clear in his mind
