Cross Division & Business Area Determination

[former_member183155]

This document contains an example which covers enterprise structure design problem like a creation of duplicate custumer / material master data.

Sap provide general division , it is helpful for this problem also you can separate your revenue with business area...

I hope that this example describes all of them..

Design :

1- We have a company named IDES AG -1000

2- We have 3 plant , O100-O101-O102 names Meat Process Plnt - Egg Plnt - Egg Tray  Plnt

3-We have 2 sales org , K001-K002 names Domestic-Overseas

4-We have 2 distribution channel O1-O2 names Wholesale-Retail

5-We have 4 division 00-O1-O2-O3 names General Division , Meat , Egg , Egg Tray

6-We have 3 business area O100-O101-O102 names Meat - Egg - Packaging

*** CUSTOMER MASTER : We can create custumers  sales org. K001 or K002 , dist chan. O1 or O2 and division 00

*** MATERIAL MASTER : We can create materials sales org K001 or K002 , dist chan. O1 or O2 and divisions will be related with them. For example : 10x2 Egg Box will be created O3 Egg Tray Division...

*** We can create sales order with general division in header level , but also we can use materials created in different divisions. Like a Meat-Egg-Packaging..

Steps :

go to tcode SPRO / Enterprise Structure / We will benefit from defines and assignments tabs

-Sales and Distribution Configuration Steps

Define Sales Org and Distribution Channel ,

**Definitions/Sales and Distribution/Define, copy, delete, check sales organization

** Definitions/Sales and Distribution/Define,copy,delete,check distribution channel

**Division creation configurations ...

   However , we will use 00 general division...

   ***Definition is completed. After that , we can start assignments.

   - Assignment Sales Org to Company Code ,

    ** You can assign a sales organization only one company code.

    - Assignment Distribution Channel to Sales Organization

   *** You can assign a distrubiton channel to a lot of sales organization.

     - Assignment division - sales organization

*** You can assign a division to a lot of sales organization.

-- Set up Sales Area

After that , we have to manage sd with business area to seperate our revenue.

Business area account assignment steps ..

   ** Firstly , we have to define rules by sales area.

     In this example ; I prefered rule 001 (Plant/Division criteria) , you can change it for your requirements.

     Secondly ; Assign Business Area to Plant and Division .

  *** Last step is determination of General Division .

    Note : You can benefit from General Distrubiton option as same as General Division to solve duplicate creation of master datas.

     Spro / Sales and Distribution / Master Data / Define Common Divisions

** Sales Order is created with Customer (Difined -General Division) , and Materials (Defined-Different Divisions)

    *** Customer master has general division.

    ** Material master has division which is related with its production line.

*** Account assignment is managed with business area in item level.

     Thanks a lot for your patience.
