Dear SAP guru's
Can you tell me if i create a common division and assign it. When we create a sales order we give the sales org, dist channel, common div.
Now customer is created in one of the divisions - so how do we take the reports for same customer - division wise, dist channel wise, and sale org.
And whether the customer has to be created with common division or how to go about.
points will be rewarded
regards,
Reshmi
Reshmi,
Common Distribution Channel and Common Divison are maintained so that if any master data like customer or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the multiplication of master records.
Eg: A customer is created for say sales area 1000/20/00 then the same customer can be used in sales area 1000/30/00 if we maintain 20 as common distribution channel. Hence no need for extending the customers...the same for Division also
REWARD IF U FINDS THIS AS USEFUL...

Hi reshmi
You can define that customer master records, which have been created for each sales organization for a distribution channel (or division), are also valid in other distribution channels (or divisions). As a result, you create and change customer master records that are required in different distribution channels or in different divisions only once. This makes it easier to create and change master records.
You can also use the same function to process article master data and prices.
Activities
In the standard R/3 System, you can define common master data for the following:
Distribution channels
In Customizing, you can specify other distribution channels in which the customer master data (and article master data and prices) from the reference distribution channel are also valid.
Divisions
In Customizing, you can specify other divisions in which customer master data (and article master data and prices) from the reference division are also valid.
Prerequisites
You do this in Customizing for Master Data (Sales and Distribution) in the following activities:
Define Common Distribution Channels
Define Common Divisions
Example
Customer master record has been created
Sales organization
Distribution channel
Customizing: Data is also valid for these distribution channels
Yes 0001 01 02
No 0001 02
You create a customer master record for the sales organization 0001 and distribution channel 01. In Customizing, you specify that this customer master data is valid for the distribution channel 02. When you process a sales order for a customer in the sales organization 0001 and distribution channel 02, the system uses the customer master data entered for distribution channel 01.

Common Division VOR2
Here you define the Common division, The Master data should apply to all the divisions. The definition is valid within each sales organization.

hi
as you have created a common division and already assigned, all the master records and condition records will be copied/shared for other divsions as well.
the purpose of defining and assigning the common division itself is to avoid
duplication of work.
thus, when u generate a report div, distri channel, sale org for a customer, there will not be any problem. reports will be correctly generated.
