Conditions cannot be created in distribution channel

hi all
while uploading condition record through VK11, i am getting this error "Conditions cannot be created in distribution channel 12"
where is the setting where i can restrict uploading records at distribution level..??

I get the error before entering the material. The message is
Conditions cannot be created in distribution channel 12
Diagnosis
You have attempted to create condition records for distribution channel
    12. This function is not allowed, because in sales organization 1000,
    distribution channel 12 is not assigned to a distribution channel which
    is used in a sales document.
System Response
It is not allowed to enter conditions in distribution channel 12 (sales
    organization 1000).
Procedure
Check whether you have selected the correct distribution channel and whether the distribution channels are assigned correctly in Customizing.In addition, it is possible that, in Customizing, another distribution channel has been assigned to this distribution channel as a reference
for the conditions.

Condition cannot be created in distribution channel 01

Hi Experts,
I am encountering the error message as abovementioned by using VBN1 (create free goods SD).
I have tried V/N6 (determine free goods procedure in sales) to assign
1000 01 00 A 1 NA0001
1000 01 00 C 1 NA0001
however i already maintained V/N6, i still encounter the same error message. Is there any others setting?
Would appreciate if you could guide me to resolve the error.
Thanks & Regards,

Create several distribution channel for an existing customer

Hi,
to create a new customer, we use the BAPI "BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1" with the specified distribution channel.
After creation of the customer I want to create another distribution channel to this customer without create a new customer number.
Is there any BAPI, which solve this issue?
Best regards,
Dirk

hii,
From ECC it is manadatory that you maintain Common Distribution Channel (Reference distribution channel for conditions, Reference distrib.channel for cust.and material masters) and Common Division (Reference division for conditions, Reference division for customers). so you will have to create the customer similarly. Thumb rule it is standardized.
Customer created for one sales area i.e., 1000,10,01 cannot be used in another sales area 1000,11,01 unless the customer is extended. (which means you cannot use the customer for other sales area)

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,
Jignesh.

Distribution Channel Vs Sales Document Type

Dear All,
I have a confusion over my configuration process. My customer has the following types of customers:
1) Distributors, 2)C&F, 3)Institutional Sales, 4)Modern Sales, 5)Employee Sales, 6)Scrap Sales, 7)Sale of raw materials and 8)Exports.
Now I have an option of either creating 8 distribution channels and maintain one Sales document type or I can define one Distribution channel and define 8 sales document types.
My requirement can be achieved by both means but I wish to know which would be a better approach. Whether creating multiple Distribution channels or creating multiple sales document types. Can you please suggest me a better method among the two with advantages and disadvantages if possible?
As far as pricing condition records are concerned, I anyways have to maintain in the key combination either sales document type or distribution channel. So i am a little confused over which is a better approach

In normal cases, we would be having different sales areas for the following
1) Domestic
2) Exports
3) STO
4) Institutional
In fact, some clients would like to have Domestic OE and Domestic Retail since predominently, they cater to these segments and would like to have reports based on these. In my earlier project, they had gone for even Exports OE and Exports Retail due to the fact that their major sales is exports.
In your case, first decide whether to go for a seperate sales area or sale order type depending upon the volume of business the client would do. If the sale is going to happen only occasionally in any of the above, then have one sales area called miscellaneous sales.
As for as possible, have the document types to the minimal for better performance.
thanks

How to copy the Pricing conditions from one Distribution Channel to another

Generally we use VK11 transaction to create conditional records .
but I Need to Know whether is it Possible to copy the Pricing conditions from one Distribution Channel to another with same name and same internal Characteristics .
Since we have around 70+ of Condition type with different parameter Sequence.So Instead of Going for BDC whether is there any standard Funct Modules/programs/BAPIs to do this?
How to make a copy Condition types from One Distribution Channel to another.
since SAP has already provided to copy conditions from Customer to customer.
Likewise i need to know whether SAP is facilitating for these feature also.
Iam Dubious in this issue.
Hope Fully looking for the answers.
Harish.N

- IDOC_INPUT_COND_A (you can create IDOC, but also call directly)
- call transaction / batch input (use transaction XK15, as used by LSMW)
- use group of function modules RV_CONDITION_COPY, RV_CONDITION_SAVE, RV_CONDITION_RESET + commit.
if you search SDN on 'RV_CONDITION_COPY' you'll find more info I believe.
Someone mentioned BAPI_PRICE_CONDITIONS as well.

Creating customer without maintaining common distribution channel and divis

Dear all...
can anybody tell me how to create a customer without maintaining common distribution channel & division..
sathsdn..

Hi
Welcome to SDN
Not possible
Because whenever you are going to create customers /materials or conditions for a distribution channel the system is going to check the reference distribution channel in VOR1 (whether any entry is there) and will accept when there is entry there only
Similarly
Because whenever you are going to create customers /conditions for a division the system is going to check the reference division in VOR2 (whether any entry is there) and will accept when there is entry there only
Without configuring VOR1 and VOR2 creating master data is not possible
If you dont want to havecommon distribution channel or division keep the same as common
Suppose in VOR1 for 1000,10 if you have to define common distribution channel then you can maintain as Ref DC customers /materials as 10 (the same) and Ref DC for conditions as also 10 (the same)

Which is the best practice of creating distribution channels and divisions

actually my company has 11 plant and every plant has differnt type of finished goods
the sales is gone on order ,its exported and its given to distributers
the goods are totally based on order and one product is dedicatedly going to one customer
so in this way what should be the stretegy to creat division and distribution channel.

hi,
just to add, since the type of products if they are totally different in nature better you create that many divisions. But a customer might be buying all of those are some of those. So, use common divisions concept. You might as well need to use the common distribution channel since you have exports and tomorrow see a situation for domestic sale. There can be different type of customers in domestic.
so having few distribution channels helps. But, this depends on the project scope.
but basically you are doing only export. Can go ahead with one distribution channel.
But remember building up enterprise is the most critical thing and has to be done after a great deal of analysis keeping in view the project scope.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Creating customer without maintaining common distribution channel & divisio

While I'm creating a customer in ECC (XD01) its showing the error that customer not defined in sales area, How can I create a customer without maintaining common distribution channel & division

Sivarajesh,
Suppose you have created a customer from one account group say "Domestic customers", company code is ZXXX, Sales area is 1000/100/10. Now if you are having a scenario wherein the same customer is involved in Export scenario or process. Then in that case instead of creating new customer for the same customer we will extend this customer to new export sales area.
This is performed in XD01 Screen itself.
Enter the Account Group wherein the customer is existing
Enter Company code: ZXXX
Enter the sales area where you want to extend 1000/EX/EX and in the same screen below there is a header "Reference" in which you enter customer no. (Internall or external) should be mentioned here,
Company code ZXXX
Sales area: 1000/100/10
Click Tick mark, Now the customer is Extended to new sales area.

Cannot create to distribution group for a tenant on hosted exchange 2010

please help me,

Hi,
In order to narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend you can try the following troubledhooting:
1. Check if the distribution group exists in ADUC on your DC server. And you can refer to the following path:
DC>ADUC>Domain.com>users
2. Create another distribution group to have a test.
I refer to the following article to create a new distribution group, and it works well:

Common distribution channel and common division

Hi experts,
Wt is the use of common distribution channel and common division in sale prcocess?
let me know wt are the configuration i have to do for common dist chanl and common division activation.
Regards
Ishikesh

Hi
SAP has the concept of common distribution channel for sharing master data( for customer/material and conditions) across multiple distribution channels under a sales orgsnization
That means say if you have the sales org say 1000 and three distribution channels under them say 10,20 and 30
Now you create a common distribution channel say 40 and assign them in VOR1 like this
sales org--DC-common distribution channel for customer/material ---common DC for conditions
1000--1040--
40
1000--2040--
40
1000--3040--
40
Now you can or need to create master data for customer/material and conditions only for DC 40
There is no need to create separate master records for 10 and 20 and 30 distribution channel's
That one master record created for DC 40 will solve the purpose for 10 and 20 and 30 distribution channel's
*When you create a sales order for the distribution channel say 10 system will check whether that customer is created for DC 40 and material is created for DC 40 and condition record is valid in DC 40*
Similarly for distribution channels 20 and 30 also system will check whether that customer is created for DC 40 and material is created for DC 40 and condition record is valid in DC 40
That means whenever you say DC as 10/20/30 in sales order system will take that as DC 40 and whatever is valid for DC 40 will be applicable for 10/20/30
Instead of three master records one record in the name of DC 40 is sufficient
Similarly for common division but with a difference
The common divisions is for customer and conditions only not for materials
You can see this in VOR2 go to VOR2 t code and observe the difference of that with VOR1
This is a key assignment in SAP and without this being defined you cannot create CMR, or MMR or condition record and one in t codes VOR1 common distribution channel and VOR2 common division
This is a fundamental basic concept any SD consultant should be very clear in his mind

Reference sales organisation,ref.distribution channel and ref. division

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of reference sales organisation,ref.distribution channel and reference division.
Pls dont copy and paste sap help.
--James

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.

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

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!
Ricardo
