Ageing report by distribution channel

Hi SAP expert,
My customers would like to run an ageing report by distribution channel. Could please advise if this is possible, and if so, how I would go about doing it?
Does this ageing report can be done via ABAPer help?
Does it require some Function Module?
Thanks
Regards

Hi Robert.......
You can consider the Days of intervals as the payment temrs.
For Example put 30 days it will give the report only for 30 days which is nothing but for 30 days payment terms.
put 40 days it will give the report only for 30 days which is nothing but for 40 days payment terms.
Hope this works for you.....
Regards,
Rahul

Distribution channel-wise customer sales and outstanding report.

Hi
In our scenario, one customer is direct factory sales as well consignment sales customer also. We created two distribution channel. But customer master record is one.
Now my client requires customer report:
Total sales value and quantity - distribution channel wise
Outstanding customer balance - distribution channel wise
Please let me know if this report is possible.
I tried with some reports: S_ALR_87012171 and S_ALR_87012186. But its showing total sales.
I tried with VF05N. It shows billed amount and does not quantity.
Please help.

Distribution Channel-Wise Sales can be made avaialble thru Standard Reports or LIS / SIS.
But, I believe you cannot get the Distribution Channel-wise Outstanding Report from SAP Standard. You will have to go for Z-Report Development.
Speak to your ABAPer & get a new Report developed.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

SAP Distribution Channels for REPORTING

The Distribution Channels, how can one make sure that this is Blueprinted correctly, so that it doesnt have an affect on the reporting?
correct me if im worng, what affect does a SD Distribution CHannel have on SD or other reporting in finance? what issues may the business get if this isnt set up properly or accordinlgy?
the company has ONE COMPANY code and several or 2 plants.

Keep sales area (sales org, DC, & Divisions) as flat as possible. 1 company and # number of plants can be supported by 1 sales area. There are many fields in both the customer & material master that can be used for reporting, pricing etc.
The more sales areas means the more areas that master data is extended to. There are business driven reasons that justify multiple sales areas (2 unique sales forces, selling different products) but try KISS 1st.

Reconciled amounts appears in vendor aging report

Dear all,
When we take report for reconciled transactions,reconciled amounts appears in
aging days(Suppose we have ap invoice in 0-30 days and payments made in 30-60 days it's
already reconciled)
Why it is showing in reconciled aging report ?
Jeyakanthan

Dear，
would like to recommend you to refer to the following note： 1228363-Business Partner Balance does not match journal entries。
In any SAP Business One version lower than 2007, 2 separate
reconciliation engines were employed. One reconciliation engine worked
on the marketing document level, where partial reconciliation was
supported & the other worked on the journal entry level, where only
complete reconciliation was supported.
This duality led in some instances to reconciliation inconsistencies
which were initially highlighted with SAP Business One version 2004
patch level 29, where the red message 'Business Partner balance does not
match journal entries' was displayed when running the ageing report by
sales documents & inconsistencies were detected.
In the year end closing guides (available for download from the
Documentation Resource Centre) SAP have always recommended to run the
ageing reports by journal posting.
In 2006, SAP published note 752261, now retired, documenting the system
behaviour & offering a series of 'Select' queries to aid in
reconciliation inconsistency analysis. These queries were an excellent
tool but now SAP can offer a faster, better & more accurate solution.
In SAP Business One 2007 A & B the reconciliation engines have been
unified & partial reconciliation on journal entry level is now fully
supported. Any database that is upgraded from a lower version undergoes
a complex series of reconciliation upgrade algorithms, where any
reconciliation inconsistency is identified & a reconciliation upgrade
(RU) journal entry is automatically created. This RU journal does not
document any accounting transaction, but simply creates an update in the
'Balance Due' column, thus notionally re-openeing previously
inconsistently reconciled transactions.
These RU journals are then available for internal reconciliation.
Please consult the 2007 Internal Reconciliation Upgrade(IRU)Landing
Page:
Channel Partner Portal -> Solutions -> SAP Business One -> Hot Topics ->
SAP Business One 2007 Information Center -> New Single Reconciliation
Engine- A single engine reconciles the difference and eliminates the
previous reconciliation issue. More
Click on 'More' to be directed to the IRU Landing Page.
Here you will find 'How-to-Guides' in all supported languages, links to
Expert Training Sessions & links to other pertinent information.
You will also find available for download 2007 A & B upgrade simulation
tools. SAP recommends to subject a database that is planned to be
upgraded
This upgrade simulation tool employs all internal reconciliation upgrade
algorithms & the application will display in the 'Internal
Reconciliation Upgrade Audit Trail Report' if a database is affected by
inconcistencies.
Hence, if the message 'Business Partner Balance does not match Journal
Entries' is encountered, proceed as follows:
Option 1:
Upgrade database to SAP Business One 2007 & internally reconcile any RU
journals.
Option 2:
Go to the IRU landing page & download the 'IRU pre-upgrade tool' either
for version 2007A or 2007B, depending on your localisation. Follow the
installation instructions & after successful installation & simulated
upgarde of the database, analyse any inconsistencies appearing with the
help of the How-to-guide. Should a type of inconsistency not have a drop
down arrow & be described as 'Balancing upgrade journal transaction',
the comapny accountant may decide to write it off, should the amount be
insignificant or, if the amount is not insignificant, please log a
support ticket with the component:
SBO-ADM-UT-IAT
Step by step detailed instructions including screenshots of how to
install the sim-tool & what it does can be found on this wiki page:

Inventory Aging Report

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to implement Inventory Aging report . The report should show total qty of inventory on hand in buckets of
(0-30 days), (31-60 days) and so on upto a year for given plant and material .
I also need to show value of inventory on hand in similiar buckets .
Is it possible to fullfill this requirement using 2LIS_03_BX extractor ?
I am assuming the distribution in buckets would need to be done at run time . If so how to design the buckets in the query ?
Thanks in advance
Arun

You can create this report using IC_C03 not just BX extractor. You need to do the ageing with reference to the materials and then sum to get the value at plant level.
For this report to work, its assumed that inventory is managed in FIFO method. The formula is derived with based ONLY on the receipt value. First you need to get the receipt values with reference to the time buckets (0 - 30, 31 - 60, 61 - 90 etc). So restrict the relevent movement types for the std KF - 0RECVS_VAL. Then do the offset in the Calendar day.
Once you have all the receipt bucket values, then you can create the ageing formula using the if else condition in the query which goes like
Ageing 0 - 30 -> ((Receipt value 0 - 30 <= Closing Stock value ) * Receipt Value 0 - 30)+ ((Receipt value 0 - 30 > Closing Stock value ) * Closing Stock value))
Ageing 31 - 60 -> ((Receipt value 31 - 60 <= Closing Stock value + Ageing 0 - 30) * Receipt Value 31 -60 )+ ((Receipt value 31 - 60 + Ageing 0 - 30 > Closing Stock value ) * Closing Stock value- Ageing 0 - 30))
The same formula can be extended up any time bucket you require (Eg Ageing 1Yr - 3 Yr, Ageing 3Yr - 5Yr, Ageing > 5 Yr etc). provided you make the receipt buckets properly.
The ageing formula is calculated during the run time, so the query performance can be slightly bad. However there is no standard R/ 3 report equvalent to this. Unless you make a abap report.

Show different distribution channels in one line

Hello everybody,
I have the following reporting problem: My customer wants to see an an attribute to 0Mat_sales summarized in one line despite the different distribution channels. With other words there is one material where two different distribution channels have the same value in this attribute. Any chance to show this in one line summarized in the query?
Thx in advance,
Karsten.

SD: Change distribution channel in sales order.

Hello,
I have a situation where my end users has mistakenly entered a foreign distribution channel for a domestic sales order. The order have been saved and the goods issue posted. Is there a way to change the distribution channel at this stage?
Thank you in advance,
Anisah

No, it is not possible to change it now. Best option will be to cancel the delivery and sales order if this order is big one because if you have sales/management reporting based on distribution channel then it will be shown uder foreign channel rather than domestic.
If order is small and goods have already left the factory then you can leave this as it is and may be you don't want go through all the pains.

Common distribution channel division

We are using common distribution channel and division on R3. On CRM the BP are setup against sales area - using sales org + common distribution channel of R3 + common division of R3.
But the requirement is, when an order is created in CRM it should go to R3 for the required sales area and not common distribution channel division. common distribution channel division are being used only to maintain customer master and material master to reduce master data.
I am using header division option on CRM, how do we set up common distirbution channel and division.
pl advise.

Hi.
To transfer common distribution channel and divisions from R/3 to CRM, you need to start transaction CRMD_DOWNLOAD_OM and execute report with option sales area bundling.
With this report bundling sales area will be copied to table SMOTVKOS and SMOTVKOV and then you will be able to define your master data only in the referenced sales area.

Risk on wrong definition of sales organization, distribution channel and division

Hi,
our organization just started to implement SAP and SD module is one of the subject to complete.
We are in the defining phase of the above subject but I still can not understand the risk of being miss-defining the sales organization, distribution channel and division. Is it true will only impacting the pricing and reporting only? Are there going to be future impact on this?
Thank you before for your explanation.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Good to see the suggestions!
These are the rules I try to follow:
Do not over do it. Simple is better and facilitates change.
One sales organization for each company code unless significant differences exist between independent sales departments. Like one wants to use CRM and others won't. It's roughly equivalent to one by each top level sales director.
One distribution channel for each sales channel group that defines different prices or different shipping conditions for the same material. Like retail and wholesale have different pricing. Special rules can apply like mail delivery require different correspondence settings.
One division for each division of the company. If company has no clearly defined divisions (like Aeronautics and Footwear) there is no need (in sales) to split (it might in financials).
Using sales office and sales group for reporting is a lot better than the top level structures because it's easy to change them in master data, unlike sales org or distribution channel. And when departments get reorganized the system effort is significantly reduced if no change occurs at those three top levels.
So I normally use the sales office to the first or second level of reporting and sales group in some cases to represent individual sales persons or nothing at all in other cases.
regards,
Edgar

Scenario regarding Sales Organization, distribution channel

Dear Experts,
I am doing
1. Simple Domestic sales from manufacturing plant
2. Depot Sales: In which, Stock transfer between two plants i.e. from Manufacturing Plant to Depot and sales from depot
3. Exports: Sales to other country.
Now, my confusion is, whether i can use a single sales organization and three distribution channel for all these three scenarios or do i have to create three different sales organizations along with three distribution channels and do the processes?
My anather question is, if i want to do depot sales, then it is possible to have one manufacturing plant and two storage locations at different places. i.e. issuing storage locatin and receiving storage location.
Is it possible to sell goods from receiving storage location to end customer?
What will be simple organizational structure i can make to acheive these things?
I would be very helpful if you can give me your expert inputs on the scenario. I am trying to make the simple organization structure with less complications for my client.
Thank you
Amit

Hi
As suggested the best choice will be to go ahead with one sales organization for all these scenario. Since in domestic sale / export sale the only difference will be the Pricing configuration and that can be easily mapped using the either a distribution channel / or a customer pricing procedure.
Now when it comes to handling the sales scenario - there is a option to go ahead with two or even three distribution channel.
1. Domestic Sale (Can handle Both Depot sale and Manufacturing same- seperate dist.channel will help to pick right pricing procedure
2. Export Sale - This distribution channel will help you to pickup export pricing procedure (Also if not then you can have customer pricing procedure to pick the export pricing )
3. Stock Transfer (Can be done through domestic sale also)- I hope a seperate pricing procedure will be created for STO. So from the reporting purpose a seperate dist.channel can help you to have more clarity to the user - Again will help you to pick a different pricing procedure (A seperate Cust.pr.Pro can also be used to pick a different pricing procedure)
4. If you are using DEPOT sale with Excisable mean you need to maintain RG23D register. Also you need to generate Excise Invoice, challan . If you use transfer process of storage location to storage locationthen there are concerns as how you will generate challan and Invoice. OR if it is a DEPOT to DEPOT Transfer then also you need supporting document. please do check as whether you need the required output or not.
So Depot need to be maintained a PLANT in SAP with a check box as saying Excisable and relevant for RG23D. and a Normal Sales process will follow. Reporting can be done of PLANT as a primary key.
Distribution channel will be a simpler way of Differentiation - and for reporting purpose.
Thanks

Distribution channels deviate from each other.70 /or 10 (reference), Message no. V2011

I have a problem when create the "Credit memo request" doc. type CR, reference doc. is billing doc. and my sales doc. that i did the billing doc. sales area is 2100/10/71 and i have to create cr doc with reference to billing doc. and sales area should be 2100/70/99 but while i creating cr doc. with reference to billing doc. system gives error distribution channel deviate from each other 70./or 10 (reference).
I have seen the early post but there where no proper solution on it.
please provide me solution i have to create cr doc. with reference to billing doc. and simply meaning with different distribution channel and division from preceding doc.
Thanks
Regards,
Abhijeet

Hi man,
The thing is that the credit memo with reference is precisely affect the balance of the Customer - Sales Area, imagine a Report by Sales Area saying the total Sales Amount of the Sales Area is 1 million, but then you turn to another sales area and discover that the same customers have credit notes for 1.5 million, insane. The purpose of referencing the credit/debit memos is that, not to lose track, including Sales Areas. Otherwise make no sense to create it with reference, just create a Credit Memo with the customer you want to affect in the sales area you want to affect, no reference. For audit purposes justify the document based on REASON FIELDS and approvals, let me explain this a little more:
One single person CANNOT create Credit Memos, cos this could lead to wrong ethical behavior, to avoid this some companies recommend to have more than one person involved in the process of Credit notes creation, what I've done on this situation is: provide access to one person to CREATE Credit/Debit memos using the standard transaction VA01, in the settings of the Sales Order Type I customize that the document will be created automatically blocked for billing (can use a UserExt to always have this field populated on the creation). This person WONT have access to modify Credit/Debit notes (VA02) but his supervisor will and this supervisor is responsible to approve and modify the blocking field to release the doc for billing. Yes, he can also change the amount but you will already have the log of changes in place for audit purposes.
This is more than a technical issue, a process issue. My kind suggestion is to challenge the business and get clearly why they want to have a referenced Credit Memo without using the Sales Area of the based Billing Doc.
Hope it helps...
Saludos!

Distribution channel for third party sales

Hello Gurus,
May I know what is the distribution channel or type of it I should or could use for third party sales order creation?
I have configured the ITC etc but not sure the distribution channel to use from the standard SAP provided ones.
Or I can use any without affecting the process?
regards
Bass

You can use any without affecting the process.
3rd party process is controlled by - item cat. group, item category, schedule line cat., etc.
At some places, separate order type or dist ch are used only for Reporting purpose.
Thanks

Distribution channel for manufacturing industries

Hi.
For manufacturing industries of consumer products what is best channel distribution choice in SAP, taking into account that the customers in SAP aren´t the consumers?
A.
10 Wholesalers
20 Distributors
30 Supermarkets
or
B
10 Wholesale
20 Retail
If the answer is A,.... Why SAP give us the option of extend a customer to the another distribution channel ?
Thank you.

As you would be aware the purpose of creating Distribution Channel is that through some channel you have to distribute the material to customer and we call this channel in many ways like, wholesale, retail, export etc.,
As long as the sales area (combination of sales organisation, distribution channel and division) is clear in SD side, all sales reports can be differentiated easily and from end user point of view, this will be much useful.
In some cases, you need to go in for a common distribution channel due to the fact that instead of having lot of distribution channels, you can simplify the configuration part by having a common channel.
The decision to go different distribution channel or common distribution channel needs to be analysed on case to case basis and of course with clients' concurrence.
thanks

Distribution channel for analysis?

hello,
could you kindly advice me what is the relevance of distribution channel in financial reporting from the Org. structure and reproting perspective.
If there are specific customers which require are grouped together and that distribution channel is used
to group these customers due to various reasons for financial reporting or the another choice or possibility to group customers at the customer level and then perform the reporting or analysis is something not clear which is a better way forward.
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Andy

Hi
Distribution channel is an Org element in SD to bifurcate sales data based on the channels in which you reach the customer say Wholesale, Retail, Direct, etc
A sales to a customer can happen through any of these channels
Thank You,
