Hi

when you assign ref sales org, ref dist channel, and ref division whenever you enter your sales org ,dist channel,and division the system goes and searches records in the references which you have given

It is mainly to minimise master data records

Suppose if you have maintained only one sales org,one dist channel and one division only then in referene you have to give the same no so that system will search the same sales org,same dist channel and same division for records

Hello James,

If you do not need the master data to be differentiated according to the distribution channel you can set one representative distribution channel. The data of the representative distribution channel applies to all the distribution channels. In the same way we can set one division as a representative division and assign all divisions to the representative division. The data of that division will be shared by all the divisions assigned to the representative division.

Main Advantages:

To minimize the effort of entering and maintaining the master data.

Also to update statistics for distribution channels and divisions without creating master data for various distribution channels and divisions.

Hi,

Sales Organization An organizational unit responsible for the sale of certain products or

services. The responsibility of a sales organization may include legal

liability for products and customer claims.

Use

You can assign any number of distribution channels and divisions to a

sales organization. A particular combination of sales organization,

distribution channel, and division is known as a sales area.

Reference distribution channel for conditions Specifies a distribution channel that you want to use as a reference for

condition data for other distribution channels.

Procedure

You can specify one distribution channel as the source of condition data

for other distribution channels. You need then only to maintain the data

in one place.

Example

Distrib.channel Ref.distrib.channel

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

In this example, only distribution channels 01 and 04 have condtion data

defined. Distribution channels 01, 02, and 03 share the master data that

you defined for distribution channel 01. Distribution channel 04 has its

own master data. When you create a sales order in distribution channel

03, the system checks the condition data against the data defined for

distribution channel 01.

Reference division for customers Specifies a division where you can define customer master records and

share them with other divisions.

Use

Customer-divisions are a way of sharing master data between different

divisions. You can specify one division as the source of master data for

other divisions. You need then only to maintain the customer master data

in one place. You can specify customer-divisions in Table TVKOS.

Example

Division Customer-division

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

In this example, only divisions 01 and 04 have customer master data

defined. Divisions 01, 02, and 03 share the customer master data defined

for division 01. Division 04 has its own customer master data. If you

create a sales order in division 03, the system checks the customer

master data from division 01. You cannot create customer master data for

divisions 02 and 03, since it would never be used.

Hi,

In order to restrict certain sales documents to be used by certain sales areas, we need to use this option.

first make one sales org., distribution channel or division as reference one and assign sales document type to that.
