Sales Area per doc and cross div per sales doc

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We know that a sales doc is tied to a Sales Area.

But a Customer can be extended to n Sales Areas.

So, please confirm is it true that a customer extended to n Sales Areas can only buy from 1 sales area per sales doc.

Another related question:

Cross division sales is where a sales doc allows a customer to order products from n divisions.

But Sales doc is tied to Sales Area.

So, where is the logic?

What is so specifial about div 00 that makes it cross division? Where is the setting for this div 00 that makes it cross-division?

If you go to spro, path:Enterprise structure/assignment/sales and distribution/set up sales area, then you will be able to assign division to multiple sales organization/distribution channel, also you can see all assignment here.

Dear Allen,

But as per SAP documentation, each SD document is assigned to Exactly 1 Sales Area which means only 1 division.

each SD document is assigned to Exactly 1 Sales Area

If no sales area is maintained in OVAZ, they system will allow you to create sale order for all sales areas.

Hi

For better understanding of your first question regarding sales area, please read the IMG activity documentation for the customizing step "Assign sales areas to sales document types".

I guess you can find your answer for the second question regarding cross divisions is as given below:

Reference division for document types (by sales area)

Specifies a division as a reference for sales document types.

Use

You can share sales document type data between different divisions. You define sales document types in a central division and then use it as a reference division. Each division to which you assign the reference can use the same sales document types defined in the reference division. The sales document types are maintained centrally in the reference division.

Procedure

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

Example

Division Reference division

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

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