Common DC and Division Question

[carloseduardo_oliveira]

Hi Gurus,

I am looking for some help on a task I am trying to accomplish. Not sure if it is possible the way I am trying to have it, but...

Scenario I have is that my company has 1 Sales Org (SO01), 3 DCs (B2, D2, CO), and 5 Divisions (01, 02, 03, 04, and 05).

Each division has its own part numbers.

The requirement is to have all parts available to all Divisions without extending part numbers to other dividions.

SO, part abcd would be entered in S001/B2/01 and should be available for sale in S001/D2/01.

Also, each part number (depending on Sales Area) gets fulfilled from different plant.

So:

- for part number abcd and sales area = S001, B2, 01 then plant = 10.

- for part number abcd and sales area = S001, D2, 01 then plant = 20

What I was thinking is that I could use common DCs + Common DIVs. Is that possible? Am I in the right track?

Please let me know. I really appreciate all inputs.

By participating in SCN all these years and an old member, I am sure, you all know this query is discussed many times in SCN and this being the case, I wonder why you people are encouraging the spoon feeding; instead, you should have asked OP to search first.  Please avoid and cooperate with SCN

Hi Lakshmipathi

Yes, I have seen other posts that talk about this but not specifically to answer the question I posted.

I always research before I post any questions here.

For all others, thx a lot for the provided answer. I still have some questions and will be posting here, since I am not sure I made myself clear on the query.

Hello Carlos,

The scenario you have described is possible in system.

First thing : For achieving that you have to go to Sale & Dist - Maser data - define common DC

As you can see in the yellow color column 1 = Reference distribution channel for conditions

And for yellow color column 2 = Reference distrib.channel for cust.and material masters

So in column 2 you have to enter your common DC and column 1 your regular DC which you want to add in common.

Second Thing : go to Sale & Dist - Maser data - define common Division

This also has a same concept as common DC

yellow color column 1 = Reference division for conditions

yellow color column 2 = Reference division for customers

But before doing this you have  specify a Common DC and Div first which you have to user here and then do this.

I hope this will sort-out your issue.

But i suggest please do a proper testing after doing the same....!

Regards

Parag Pandya.

Hi Parag

If I understand correct, you are basically telling me to have the part numbers and customers created in 1 common Dc + DIV, then (via config) make it so that other DCs and DIVs can get to use the data from the Commom DC + DIV.

Is that correct?

If my understanding above is correct, then what I am trying to do is a bit different:

1st goal is to have each material created for each brand. Example is:

- for part number abcd, it needs to be created in Sales Area = S001, B2, 01

- for part number FGHI it needs to be created in sales area = S001, D2, 02

Then I need to find a way (without extending the materials) to have them both under different orders:

Examples:

- Order for SA S001, B2, 01 should be able to have parts abcd + FGHI

- Order for SA S001, D2, 02 should be able to have parts FGHI + abcd

Hope this helps...

This can be achieve only through common div/dist ch. concept, and along with that also change the setting of sales order in VOV8 for Check division = no dialog.

And then test the scenario, i hope it should work...

Please test it and then come up with result.

Hi,

Yes it is very much possible with common distribution channel and division concept and then take care by extending the parts no to respective sales area.

Coming to your second query with regards to Plant, you can assign the required delivering plant to combination of sales org and distribution channel under ES - Assignment option.

Thanks.
