Hi Vamasi

If all sales document types are allowed for all sales organizations, leave the field blank. Otherwise, enter the sales organization you want to use as a reference.

Example

Sales organization Reference sales org.

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

In this example, only sales organizations 01 and 04 have sales document types defined. Sales organizations 01, 02, and 03 share the sales document types defined for sales organization 01. Sales organization 04 has its own sales document types. When you create a sales order in sales organization 03, the system checks the sales document type against the types defined for sales organization 01. You do not maintain sales document types in sales organizations 02 and 03, since they are never used. For further information on the topic "Allowed sales document types per sales area

same for Distribution channel

You can specify one distribution channel as the source of sales document types for other distribution channels. You need then only to maintain the data in one place.

Procedure

If all sales document types are allowed for all distribution channels, leave the field blank. Otherwise, enter the distribution channel you want to use as a reference.

Example

Distrib.channel Reference distr.ch.

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

In this example, only distribution channels 01 and 04 have sales document types defined. Distribution channels 01, 02, and 03 share the sales document types defined for distribution channel 01. Distribution channel 04 has its own sales document types. When you create a sales order in distribution channel 03, the system checks the sales document type against the types defined for distribution channel 01. You do not maintain sales document types in distribution channels 02 and 03, since they are never used.
