Based on Aditya's example, I would like to add that it in not necessary that it has to be different Distribution Channel or Division. It can be same. For example: Common Distribution Channel for 10 is 10, similarly for Division 10 is 10. But this mapping in the system is required. Elseyou will not be able to create Customer or Material Master data.

Hi Anil SD,

The Common Distribution channel and division is maintained to avoid the duplication of the master records.

Eg You can, for example, create customer master data for distributionchannel "01" and define it so that it is valid for distribution channels

"02" and "03".

You can determine, for example, that the conditions which are valid in division "01" also apply to divisions "05" and "06".

These defionition can be done in the transaction VOR1 and VOR2.

Aditya.

Common Distibution Channel & Division:

Common Distribition Channel and Division are maintained in Transaction Code: VOR1 & VOR2. If these are not maintained we will not be able to create Customer Master and Material Master. Hence these are key point of check in ithe initial testing if we are facing issue of creating Customer or Material Master.

Hi Dear

Common Distribution Channel is maintained so that if any master data like customer or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the multiplication of master records.

Eg: A customer is created for say sales area 1000/10/00 then the same customer can be used in sales area 1000/20/00 if we maintain 10 as common distribution channel. Hence no need for extending the customers...the same for materials also.
