hi Subrat,

From the FI perspective if you look at, the business area is maintained on the combination of a plant and division. This falls into the FI domain.

Now, understand the type of products you are selling. Plastic manufacturing in general is your industry, but a sales guy who goes for a rail company for bath doors may not be the same going to a construcntino place for selling doors related products. better you have a separate division for them. In the sense depending on the customers you re targetting try to have divisions.

eg ; for a dress shop -- division can be like

boys 1- 16 yrs

girls 1-16 yrs

male

female.

the advantage is the shop can better focus on its products now. This requirement of better focussing determines how many divisions do you want to have.

By def. Division is a group of products having similar attributes.

Pl reward if it helps.

Thanks

Can amyone give me the solution to my email address moh_nr@yahoo.com

Our client needs a high level SAP SD resource ON SITE to do a feasibility and estimation project. Basically they need to come in and determine how long the actual project will take. Below is their issue:

Per the client:

"When entering a sales order, there are 3 attributes that need to be assigned. The attribute in question is the "Division" attribute. We want to merge the multiple division attributes into one for future sales orders. Currently the division attribute is assigned separately, for example, "ABC" line products and "XYZ" line products are assigned a different division attribute. We want to combine this attribute into one "123" line. Apparently, this change has a domino effect on multiple other areas that also need to be changed to maintain the systems integrity."

They are looking for a person to evaluate this project and estimate the number of people hours and what types of people (expertise), to make all the necessary changes for this to be a successful project. The deliverable would be a project break down regarding what steps need to be taken, what resources will be needed, and ultimately how long the project would take.
