Distribution Channel and Division in STO
Hi All,
We are have a STO senario.We are also using the common distribution channel and common division.However when we create an Invoice with the delivery created the system is picking up the common division not the material division. In delivery also in the line item of the in delivery shows 00( cross division) and not the division of the material from the material master.
We have configure the Shipping data for plant with common division and common distribution channel.
We want the system should pick the material division compared to common division.
Kindly guide us on the issue.
Regards
Rajev
We also search the forum and found one thread
Material division in Intercompany STO Invoice
But is not helpful for us.

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.
AndyHi 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.

Change of Distribution Channel and Division
Good day, everyone!
Is there a transaction code that will allow me to change the distribution channel and division of the material?
Thank you.Division can be changed with MM02.
But distribution channel is a key for the sales data. You can only flag the existing sales data for deletion in MM06 and create new sales data with MM01. -

Common Distribution Channel and Divisions
<b>How to configure Common Distribution Channel and Divisions and what is the advantage of the same?</b>
dear sunil
distribution channel
If you do not need the master data (customer / material and condition master data) to
be differentiated according to distribution channels, you have to set up a representative
distribution channel. The master data for the representative distribution channel
applies to all distribution channels for which you have set up this reference in
Customizing.
By doing this, you can minimize the effort of entering and maintaining master data.
In addition, you can update statistics for distribution channels without having to create
master data for the various distribution channels.
Division
T.Code: VOR2 -- Sales and Distribution  Master Data  Define Common Divisions

Common distribution channel and division
Hi
Following is the scenario in our Process.
We have Sales Org 1000 % Distribution Channel 10 , 20 & 30
In Define Common distribution Channel screen have maintained following Config
Sorg Dchannel DchConds DchCust/Mat
1000 10 10 10
1000 20 10 10
1000 30 10 10
so we have maintained Ref Distribution Channel as 10 for 20 & 30
Now we wish to extend the customer to 1000/20 to main some specific data in certain fields related to that distribution channel. but is giving an error no Sales Area 1000/20/Division could be determined.
We would like to use common ref distribution channel and also if required if specific data is required to be maintined in it should be extended to other disctibution channel.
this will ensure that at the time of preparation of sales documents like sales orders it should check if the customer is extended to that distribution channel if yes it will refer data from that disctribution channel else will refer data from common distribution channel.
Is it possible.
Regards
Sanjeev Bagaraihi
please common distribution channel , and common division , will you check ,
you enter in distribution channel like this
1000 10 10 10

and also division also , you maintain same think
and also check the enterprise settings for assignment for sales organisation + distribution channel +division
please check this

Use of common distribution channel and division in CRM
Hi,
I have a requirement where the customer master will be created in a single dist channel and division combination in ECC and downloaded to CRM. However this customer will be used in different sales area combinations in CRM and ECC.
In ECC there is as standard setting wherein we can refer a sales area to other sales area.
Do we have any such functionality in CRM?
I went through posts and even tried to run Transaction CRMD_DOWNLOAD_SB and CRMD_DOWNLOAD_OM but the tables were not populated in CRM.
For information we are creating the org structure in CRM itself and not generating it from ECC.
Regards,
PPdear PP,
first, you can have a look the relevant master data division and distr. channels settings in config
here are the paths for CRM 7.0 system config (might be a bit different for previous versions):
spro->customer relationship management->master data->organisational management->division settings
spro->customer relationship management->master data->organisational management->organisational data for sales scenario
and second, the Assignment of Organisational Units from SAP ECC (same CRM spro config):
spro->customer relationship management->master data->organisational management->Assignment of Organisational Units from SAP ECC
please do not forget to check out the Data transfer (just one node lower) : Copy SAP ECC Sales Structure
t-code CRMC_R3_ORG_GENERATE
good luck!

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

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.
--JamesHi,
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. -
Configure common dist channel and division
hi
how to configure common distribution channel and division
regards
hemaDefine Common Distribution Channels
T.Code: VOR1
The master data shared by several distribution channels applies to conditions and customer and material master data.
This helps you minimize the cost of creating and maintaining the master data.
You can also update statistics for each distribution channel and division without creating the master data for the different sub-areas of the organization.
Define Common Divisions
T.code: VOR2
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

Common Distribution Channels and Common Division
Hi experts,
We are encoutering an error and i think its because of common distribution channels and common divisions.
1:IN Development client we can see the common distribution channels and common divisions setup. But no one says he/she has set them up. Is it possible that the enterprise structure settings filter to this?? May be weird doubt but i wanna make sure.
2: If they are setup in Development , there should be a transport request and am unable to see any??
3: If we need the same settings in Test, We will have to set them up in Test client or we can move the transports from DEV to TEST for these settings??
4:And also if these are not setup , do we get an error while creating customers and materials for sales areas?
Please Advice.
Thanks & Regards

Configuration of common distribution channels and common divisions is a required setting, else it will give an error for Customer & Material Master. This setting has to be done in Development Server & transported to Test & Production Server. If you do not find Transport request, then try to do change in configuration & redo the correct configuration & save the Transport Request.
Hope the above is helpful to you.

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
IshikeshHi
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

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)
