Common Division and Sales Order

[Former Member]

I setup the common division for the company.

My understanding is, the purpose of this common division is so that I do not need to create separate master record for each of the division for the customer master and the material master.

When I tried creating a sales order the sales area window comes up and and asking me to select a sales area.

I selected one sales area (not the common division) and I was able to create and save my sales order with no problem.

When I tried selecting the common division on that screen ([see image|http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h336/809836724/sd/SO_commondivJan13.jpg]) and

input my material, I got an error message ([see image|http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h336/809836724/sd/SO_errorJan13.jpg])

Question:

1. Should I select that common division on the sales order window or other appropriate sales area?

2. My goal is to create a sales order, with different materials (each with different division). Is that possible on one sales order? I suppose the common division is the solution but it is not working on my end. How can I make it happen?

In t.code VOV8, select the sales document type and in the field Check division, make it blank. I assume currently it is 2. Just remove it and then test again.
