distribution channel

If you do not need the master data (customer / material and condition master data) to

be differentiated according to distribution channels, you have to set up a representative

distribution channel. The master data for the representative distribution channel

applies to all distribution channels for which you have set up this reference in

Customizing.

By doing this, you can minimize the effort of entering and maintaining master data.

In addition, you can update statistics for distribution channels without having to create

master data for the various distribution channels.

Division

T.Code: VOR2 -- Sales and Distribution  Master Data  Define Common Divisions

If you do not need the master data (customer or condition master data) to be

differentiated according to divisions, you have to set up a representative division.

The master data in the representative division applies to all divisions for which you

have set up this reference in Customizing.

By doing this, you can minimize the effort of entering and maintaining master data.

In addition, you can update statistics for divisions without having to create master

data for the various divisions.
