common distribution channel & division

[Former Member]

Kindly provide any input to my problem................

Incase where the distribution channels (Retail & Export sale) are different and having different sales document types, pricing procedure having a common customer , will it be useful to use common distribution channel and division...??? In that case the order type & pricing procedure of common distribution channel & division will be applicable for both the sales areas...?? If so then incase of exports how will the system determine the price of the material..??

Sales org : SA

Distr chl : RT , ES

Div : Vehicle

Sales doc type : OR, ZO

Pricing procedure : RVAA01, JINEXP

Thanks.

Thanks for your co-operation Mayank,

Kindly go through my doubts and check whether they are correct or not..........

If we dont maintain common dist chl for export & retail & maintain diff pricing procedure & sales doc type thats ok but,

1. For retail & export dist chl with different sales document types , pricing procedure & condition types (say for retail only PR00 and for exports PR00 & excise duty conditions) if we maintain retail as the common dist chl with only condition type PR00 then the PR00 condition maintained for retail can be shared with exports but not the excise duty conditions in exports.... can they be maintained in conditions tab in va01 manually....?? Or is it advisable not to use common dist chl in such a situation at all...

2. Only customer can be shared for differing dist chl & div under the same sales org by maintaining common dist chl & div but common material master cannot be maintained likewise. Material master has to be maintained separately for separate materials...?? Coz for a sales order with division for material 'steel' why will we like to share the division for material 'Tablets' .... then Customer -material info for same customer and different divisions is to be maintained as same customer has to be linked to different materials..??

3. If prices of materials are different how can a condition record be share...??? So materials should have same price ?

so in which situations it should not be used...??

Please clarify my queries..................

Thanks for your reply Ashu,

I have few confusions regarding these two situations :

1. In case of retail the condition type is PR00 but incase of exports along with PR00 there are condition types for excise duty also (JEAP,JEAT etc). If retail is the common distribution channel and customer master record is maintained for retail, then how will the codition records for excise be fetched in sales order when we create order for export sale for the same customer....?

2. Incase where the divisions of two sales area are different & we have maintained common division as Paint & customer master is also created for paint,do we need to maintain material master record,customer-material info record and condition record separately for each material as the materials (Paint & Pharma) and their industry sectors is different .....??

Kindly provide a solution..

Condition types for Excise duty (JEAP, JEAT) will be maintained in your pricing procedure JINEXP which will be called once you use Distribution Channel ES even if you maintain customer master record for retail because it is set as common.

Dear Rupsha,

We define common dist. channel and division when we want to share the condition master or customer/material master of one Dist. Channel or div with another.

1. In case of retail the condition type is PR00 but incase of exports along with PR00 there are condition types 
for excise duty also (JEAP,JEAT etc). If retail is the common distribution channel and customer master record is 
maintained for retail, then how will the codition records for excise be fetched in sales order when we create 
order for export sale for the same customer....?

in this case if you are creating condition record for PR00 using retail dist. ch retail same record will be fetch for export dist. ch.

when you create an order for Export dist. ch you need excise conditions to be determined for this you have 2 options

Either you maintain two different pricing procedure for retail and export where retail will have PR00 and Export will contain JEAP, JEAT along with PR00. and maintain pricing proc. determination accordingly.

OR

Dont maintain common distribution channel for 'Reference distribution channel for conditions' column in VOR1. then system will fetch the condition records based on the dist. ch.

2. Incase where the divisions of two sales area are different & we have maintained common division as Paint &
customer master is also created for paint,do we need to maintain material master record,customer-material info record and
condition record separately for each material as the materials (Paint & Pharma) and their industry sectors is different .....??

Maintaining common division is only useful for sharing master data of customer master

If you are having two different divisions and you are maintaining one common division as paint then you dont have to maintain customer master for another sales area containing another division

Material master record can have only one division so no question of sharing data.

Customer material info record doesnt contain any detail with reference to division so no need for that also.

Condition record will be shared if you maintain common division.

Hope this clears your understanding

Hi Rupsha,

Q1-will it be useful to use common distribution channel and division...???

A1- Yes it will be useful if you want the same customer in both the cases.

Q2-In that case the order type & pricing procedure of common distribution channel & division will be applicable for both the sales areas...??

A2-Yes you can use Order Type OR for retail sales and Order Type ZO for Export sales. You need to Determine your Pricing Procedure properly for this.

Q3- If so then incase of exports how will the system determine the price of the material..??

A3-System will determine the price according the Determination you will maintain in your system for Pricing Procedure.

e.g.- The determination should be as under

SA RT Vehicle RVAA01 PR00 for retail sales

SA ES Vehicle JINEXP PR00 for Export Sales

So once you enter the Distr. Cha. RT system will use RVAA01 and if you enter ES system will pick JINEXP.

Hope this helps you.

Ashu
