SAP Distribution Channels for REPORTING

[Former Member]

The Distribution Channels, how can one make sure that this is Blueprinted correctly, so that it doesnt have an affect on the reporting?

correct me if im worng, what affect does a SD Distribution CHannel have on SD or other reporting in finance? what issues may the business get if this isnt set up properly or accordinlgy?

the company has ONE COMPANY code and several or 2 plants.

Keep sales area (sales org, DC, & Divisions) as flat as possible. 1 company and # number of plants can be supported by 1 sales area. There are many fields in both the customer & material master that can be used for reporting, pricing etc.

The more sales areas means the more areas that master data is extended to. There are business driven reasons that justify multiple sales areas (2 unique sales forces, selling different products) but try KISS 1st.
