Hi,

Check de SAP note 2943152 - client && cannot be mapped as it does not have a sales area &&

Hi Daniel,

can you please explain how the system determines the "relevant Sales Area"? In our case system is asking to assign to the customer all the sales area customized.

Hi,

Check note 203843 - Returns vendor; data not transferred

Issue is when you select Return Vendor checkbox, the internal table VBER gets updated . So delete that sales area from internal table which u dont want. This internal table creates entries in Table knvv.

Make use of user exit while doing that...

Hi Ram ,

After a bit of research , i noticed how the sales area is determined.

First system check the plant assigned to the purchasing organisation.

It will check the assignment of Sales Area to plant in the following customization

"Assign Organizational Units to the Plants"

Path: IMG -- > Sales and Distribution -- > Billing --- > Intercompany Billing --- > Assign Organization Units by Plant

Check from your side too.

Why does it assume intercompany billing?  If the vendor return is to a 3rd party vendor, It should not use the same sales area assignment as STO.

Hi Ram ,

I think System will check the Company Code assigned to the Purchasing Organization and it will find the sales organization assigned to the company code.

Hi Rajesh ,

What is return Vendor?

As per my undetstanding , when you are doing returns the sales area determined automatically from customer master?

Note-Vendor can also customer OR Customer also can be Vendor , here there is link between these two ,once you assign that vendor in Customer master general data-Control data - you have field you can assign that vendor code there, the same with vendor you can also link customer with Vendor in the same assignment in vendor master data

May be this assign is done already for that customer or vendor plz check.

Hope it is helpful to you
