Hi,

maintain Common Distribution Channels at T.Code-VOR1

Common Divisions at T.Code - VOR2

I think now you are able to create the customer

Hi,

Hi Jeniffer & Siva,

I was able to create the customer with common DC & Divison.

But why do we need to define them common?

<b>Common Dist and Division</b>

This is mainly for reducing the Master records...

Plz go through this link..

<b>Example</b>

You can, for example, create customer master data for distribution channel "01" and define it so that it is valid for distribution channels "02" and "03".

<b>Note</b>

The master data shared by several distribution channels applies to conditions and customer and material master data.

This helps you minimize the cost of creating and maintaining the master data.

You can also update statistics for each distribution channel and division without creating the master data for the different sub-areas of the organization.

check if you have defined common DC and common div.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is directly relevant to your issue but have you checked assigning plants to Sales Org / Dist Chl.
