General sales area

Hi all,
I have a sales area 2600,20,00 configured in the system and i want to assign sales doc type fd to it, each time i try that, it throws an error "maintain settings for general sales area first" but this sales area has been existing, what could be the issue? pls help out.
Tnx
Maureen

Hi Maureen
As you have sales area 2600 , 20,00 . So first of all check wheather you have done assignments in VOR1 & VOR2 or not. Secondly also check in SPRO->sales and distribution->sales->sales documents->sales documents header->Assignment of Sales area to sales Document types
After doing the following configuration, then you can create the sales order

Error--Define 1000/15/99 first as a general sales area!

Hi All Gurus,
I have defined sales area,made assignment,combined sales org.,distribution channel and division,made common distribution channel and division but when I goto OVAZ that is sales area assignment to sales doc.type it is giving this error---Define <1000/15/99> first as a general sales area!
Let me tell u I have used all these transaction OVAO,OVAM,OVAN,OVAZ,VOR1 & VOR2 ....is there any other t/code which resolve the above problem
Thank & regards
Umed

Dear Umed,
This is a sequence infringement of Customizing activities.
Once, You created Sales Org and Dist Chnl in IMG-Settings, i.e.
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Sales and Distribution
--> Define Sales Org
--> Define Dist. Chnl
Also, create Division:
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Logistics - General --> Define Division
Once, Enterprise Definition is Done, we make assignment:
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution
--> Assign Dist. Chnl to Sales Org
--> Assign Division to Sales Org
--> Set Up Sales Area
and Finally, we Maintain Following settings in sequence:
OVAO: Define reference S. Org. - assign the same sales org to it, i.e, 1000 to 1000
OVAM: Define reference D. Chl. - assign Sales Org+Dist channel, i.e. 1000+15 to 15
OVAN: Define reference Dvn. - assign Sales Org+Division, i.e. 1000+ 99 to 99
OVAZ - Assign Sales Document Type to permitted sales Area.
Now, you get the error:
Define <1000/15/99> first as a general sales area!
As per my understanding, you must check and maintain Assignment, via:
OVXK     Assignment: Distr. Channel --> Sales Org
OVXA     Assignment: Division --> Sales Org
OVXG     Set Up: Sales Area: Overview
and then make assignment in OVAZ.
Please, check the same and update.

1.You go to VOR1 transaction here you check what is the distribution channel assigned as common distribution channel for your sales organisation and distribution channel ,if it is improper then maintain correct Distribution channel.
2.You go to VOR2 transaction here you check what is the division assigned as common division to your sales organisation and Divisionif ,it is improper then maintain correct Division.
3.You go to OVAO transaction here you assign reference sales organisation to your sales organisations.

5.You go to OVAN transaction here you assign reference division to your sales organisation and common division.
6.Finally you assin sales document type to your referenced sales area.

hi
The Assignment of Sales Areas to Sales Documents
There may be a need to assign sales documents to specific sales areas. For example, a different
sales document is used for all sales orders from a specific sales organization.
Transaction Code OVAZ
You may assign reference sales organizations as well as reference distribution channels and divisions. Do not confuse this referencing with the assignment of common distribution channels and common divisions. The referencing done here is only used by the system to determine which sales documents are permitted for which sales areas.
If all sales document types can be used by all sales areas, leave the assignment fields blank.
check your sales area in
Set up sales area - Enterprise Structure ® Assignment ® Sales and Distribution ® Set up sales area
T-code: OVXG
Also check the following setting
OVAM - To Combine distribution channels Sales Document Types     -- Sales and Distribution ® Sales ® Sales Documents ® Sales Document Header ® Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types -
choose Combine distribution channels.
OVAN - To Combine division to Sales Document Types      - Sales and Distribution ® Sales ® Sales Documents ® Sales Document Header ® Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types -
choose Combine divisions
OVR1 - Define Common Distribution Channels - Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Define Common Distribution Channels
OVR2 - Define Common Divisions - Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Define Common Divisions

CRM BP type Sold-to-party Sales Area Data button not displayed

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are in the system preparation stage, but there's a problem in BP maintenance. For the BP type Sold to Party, the sales area data button is not showing up in the button bar with the General data. I only can see General data and Relationships here.
The sales area has been maintained in the system already and can be displayed in the reference bp. Not sure any config will affect.
Appreciate if anyone can give me a clue.
Rgs, Michelle

Hi,
If you have chosen the role, and the button is not coming up following could be the possibilities:
1. It might sound funny but it is a possibility that You might ALREADY be in the Sales Area data screens. Check if the "General Data" button is active. if it IS active then you ARE in the Sales area data.
2. If not 1, above, then check the authorisation for the id to create BP for Sold to party and / or Sales area.
3. Still No, then check if the screen config for creating BP is std or its a customised one wherein maybe the button has been rendered inactive. You can check by taking an existing BP who might already be a sold to part for a sales area. If this is your first case for a Sold to party then you might look at the screen config for sure.
Do write back if you still need help.

Tariq

"sold-to party" role "sales area"

Hi,
I'm working at VAR Solution Manager 7.0 SP17.
When I create a support message from satelllite system or workcenter this support message is created successfully but when I open it at crm_dno_monitor I get two errors:
Pricing data for partner 323 could not be read.
Enter a Currency
About detail error:
Diagnosis
The attempt to read the pricing data for the current, valid business partner from the customer master was unsuccessful.
The access was carried out with sales organization 'O 50000721', distribution channel '' and division ''
If you have maintained a sales area conversion in R/3 that must be loaded per download into the CRM System (tables SMOTVTA and SMOTVKOS), this sales area is converted before the actual access.
System Response
The document is incorrect until the pricing data can be determined.
Procedure
The pricing view is probably missing for your business partner in the customer master. Maintain this data. To do this, you can call up transaction BP for maintaining the business partner. In the locator select your business partner and load it by double-clicking. Choose the "sold-to party" role. Press the "sales area" button and choose the sales area given above. Maintain the incorrect data in the billing data screen.
I know the error reason but I don't know how to solve it. About errors:
BP 323 is the sold-to party so if I go to TA bp->323->sold-to party role->button "sales area data" -> Sales area->Sales Organization any value appears. The same to Distribution Channel field
I know that this error is generated by ppoma_crm configuration so at this TA my conf is:
GRUPOTEC(organizational unit)
tab function->checkbox sales->checked Sales Organization
tab function->checkbox service->checked Service Organization
tab attributes->checked Obj. Permitted in Determination
tab attributes->country->ES
Check consistency->green
GENERAL(organizational unit)

tab attributes-> sales -> NO checked Obj. Permitted in Determination
tab attributes-> service -> checked Obj. Permitted in Determination
Check consistency->green
GENERAL(manager)

Please could you help me?

Failing to determine sales area in sales order for many BP's(Sold-To Party)

Hi Experts
In SAP CRM version 4.0, when I enter the Sold-to party (BP) in the sales order transaction, for some it determines the sale area automatically and for most of the BP's it is not determining.
The Determination rule is organizational Model.
The determination rule used is 91000141 (ZORGMAN_RA = Organization based on BP and trans.)
Under Container tab in this determination rule, using simulate Rule resolution button, for some BP, it find the agent with green light when I place a BP in the Container element value field but for many BP's, it shows as No agent found.
Org. data profile used is ZORGPROF_RA (Mandatory are sales Org, Dist. Ch, Sales Off.) and has set the above determination rule.
In the Organizational model, the General attributes are country, currency, dist. Ch & division.
So, Why Org determination is working for some BP and not for all.. I've checked each field in BP transaction comparing those BP where the org detrmination is automatic with those where it is not determining...but not able to find a clue also to trace it.
we are introducting a sales order block in BP (under sales tab) for some specific Sold-To party and in webshop when these Sold-to party are tried to place an order then an error message will show that this "Sold-To party has a sales area block".
To achieve this, first the org determination should work automatically for all BP's otherwise for those BP which cannot detrmine the sales area in the sales order transaction will allow to place order (which should not be in our case)
Can any one throw some light in this case..please do ask if you need more clarification in my question.
Thank & Regards
Pravin Babu

Hello Maggie
Thanks for your reply.
I found the cause of the failure, in not determining the sales area automatically in sales transaction for some BP's.
It is due to the BP settings, under sales area view, under organization tab, by pressing 'Choose sale area" button, I can see the sales Organization has uncheck for 'sales' but it is check for all others - shipping, billing, partner, status, Organization.
It is due to -> no data mainatined for the BP under Sales tab, after mainatianing it, I can see the check by pressing the 'choose sale area under organization tab.
Now, in Order transaction, the sale area is determined automatically when I enter the BP.
So this was the reason that some BP's was able to determine the sales area automatically but not for others in the sales transaction.
Regards
Pravin

Restrict the creation of customer master records at sales area level

I know that you can supress fields at the company code and sales area level in customer master, but, is there a way in configuration to restrict the creation of a customer master record at the company code and sales area levels? Only the general data level is needed for this customer account group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi
Create the Customer Master without entering the Company Code and sales Area. The system will allow and ask you to fill only the General Data.
The other way is that Create a Account Group and suppress its all Fields of Accounting View and Sales Area View, so that for that account group you will have to maitain only the General view.
