Sales and Distribution Data
The data for one customer can differ for each sales area. The sales area is a combination of sales organization, distribution channel and division. This data is only relevant to Sales and Distribution, and includes:
Pricing data
Delivery priority
Shipping conditions
If you edit a customer master record, you must enter the customer number and the sales area in order to access screens containing sales and distribution data.
You can only process sales and distribution transactions, for example, a sales order, after entering the sales and distribution data for a customer.
Customer partner functions
The company or person who places an order can be the same company or person who receives the goods and the invoice and pays. Because this customer assumes all partner functions, you create one master record for the customer. You create a customer master record for the sold-to party in which you enter data required for the other partner functions.
A subsidiary office can place an order and its head office can pay the invoice. In this case, you divide partner functions among the different offices. You need a corresponding number of customer master records. In one master record you enter, for example, the address of the sold-to party for correspondence, in the other, the address of the ship-to party for delivery. You establish a link between the partner functions in the customer master record of the sold-to party by entering the customer number of the respective partner functions.
