Hi,

Common Division/Reference division that master data should apply to the definition is valid within each sales organization.

Example

You can determine, for example, that the conditions which are valid in division "01" also apply to divisions "05" and "06".

Note

The common master data across various divisions refer to the conditions and the customer master data.

You thus minimize the effort of entering and managing master data.

In addition, you can extrapolate your own statistics per division without having to create master data in the different organizational subareas.

Action

For the divisions, define from which other division the master data should be copied.

Use

You can share sales document type data between different divisions. You define sales document types in a central division and then use it as a reference division. Each division to which you assign the reference can use the same sales document types defined in the reference division. The sales document types are maintained centrally in the reference division.

Procedure

If all sales document types are allowed for all divisions, leave the field blank. Otherwise, enter the division you want to use as a reference.

Example

Division Reference division

01 01

02 01

03 01

04 04

In this example, only divisions 01 and 04 have sales document types defined. Divisions 01, 02, and 03 share the sales document types defined for division 01. Division 04 has its own sales document types. When you create a sales order in division 03, the system checks the sales document type against the types defined for division 01. You do not maintain sales document types in divisions 02 and 03, since they are never used.

Please reward if it's of some help for you.
