Divisions

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We currently operate using only one company code (1000) one sales and distribution channel (10) and one division (10).

However, we have a number of sales offices. We are considering creating a division for each sales office so that theie invoices can be compiled (create billing output) and printed at various locations throughout the organisation (a change from our centralised printing).

Can anyone foresee any issue with that? I am assuming that we will be able to use our existing customers and materials?

Please help!

Many thanks

Hi Ciara,

Further to above answer, Divisions are related to Material divisions and cost centers. The Business area could also be linked to Divisions.

Hence divisions should be on the lines of dividing either cost centers or product lines and not sales office.

If you want to use sales office try using sales office field, thats the closest answer.

If you give us more data points as to what sales office are used for in your organizaation it will be more helpful.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Creating a New Divison has direct implication with the Sales Area.

You can use the Sales Office field given by SAP for your requirement and then assign the same to your customers in customer master for the Specific Sales Area.

This will avoid creation of a new sales area , further reducing the master data maintainance.

Reward points if this helps.
