IBP sales org

[carlos_perez8]

Hi all

We are trying to set up in IBP a planning area for demand planning. We have noticed that field Sales Organization is mising..

we need to have it in IBP, so how we should continue?

1. create MD for sales org

2 add this MD to every planning level

Thanks in advance

There are different concepts, depending on the requirement.

1) Use CUSTID with some kind of concatenation, e.g. the real customer group on which you want to plan @ SalesOrg, and have the customer attribute plus the SalesOrg as attributes

2) create own md type for salesOrg and "add" it to the planning levels. Disadvantage is that you need to add a new key field, so usually you do not add it but create a new planning level instead and move the KF

Same would apply for distribution channel / division, if that is business relevant

Hello Irmhild,

this is a rather old thread, would you still see the two concepts mentioned above? If so, could you maybe share a bit more detail on the first concept?

Something we have been thinking of is creating a compound MDT of product, location, customer and adding the sales org as an attribute. Could this work, or do you see any major disadvantages?

Thanks a lot for your help!
