Infomaterial to Division, Sales Area, etc.

Hi SD-Specialists,
We have 2 divisions and several Sales Areas (sales org,dist.channel,division).
That makes somtimes problems/complexity if we want to sell ONE material to both divisions ...
Question:
Now we consider to merge both divisions.
What would it mean? What points we have to consider? (price list, customer data, CO, FI, ....)
Are there (beyond SAP help) good documents availabe, which describe the role of Division, Sales Area, etc. in SAP R/3 (4.70)?
thx in advance,
Markus

Hi Markus
Maintain Common Divisions and maintain that division and assign the division to all sales areas
Thanks and Regards

Error msg while assigning sales area ( A ) customer to sales area ( B)

dear friends,
I have created four account groups - SP ,SH, PY & BP respectively.
And i have four sales areas - A, B, C , D, so i created 3 different customers in each sales area under sold to party account group.
Actual problem is when i am trying to edit partners functions for a customer 'X' in sales area - A ....... it is accepting customers which are from sales area - A only.
But i have to use some of customers from other Sales area - B and assign them to the customer 'X' in the sales area - A .
checked all possible assignments ( i.e,) common - distribution channels, divisions, sales org etc
please tell me where i went wrong.
thanks & regards

How dunning area derived from sales area

Dear Guru,
When you press F1 on dunning area, you will get the following:
Dependencies
The dunning area must be noted in the line items. As long as documents are copied from preliminary work areas (billing documents), the dunning area can be derived from details such as division or sales area, if necessary.
Here i want to know any IMG setting to set dunnign area derived from sales area?
The reason is that I noticed that in BSEG table, those Sale billing document with dunning area = blank. could anybody tell me the following
1) any duning area derivation in IMG need to set, eg, dunning are derived from division/sales area
2) which table, the dunning are is noted for billing document from sales side.
Thanks,
Kick

Hiya,
One assigns the Dunning Area to the Sales Area in table TVTA.
In IMG, follow the path:
Sales & Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Account Assignment/Costing --> Assign Dunning Areas
This is again based on requirement. You normally assign Dunning Areas to the Company Code.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Sales Area synchronization between CRM and ECC is not working

Dear Experts,
In CRM Customer master record we are maintaining Sales organization, Distribution Channel and Division (Sales Area) under Sales Area tab.
The Same Sales Area is downloaded from back-end ECC system.
when I create new customer in CRM, Sales Area data is not downloading to ECC system. I have maintained all settings but could not find why the problem is coming.
I request you to help me in resolving this issue.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Business Partner creation - Sales Area Data retrieves blank divisions

During business partner creation, the sales area data assignment block will retrieve a list of all relevant sales organizations, distribution channels, and divisions that are replicated from ECC. This is working fine. However, it also adds to this list with the sales organizations, distribution channels, and blank divisions. Blank divisions do not exist in either ECC or CRM. It appears to be using the dummy division settings, but I have attempted to configure with the indicator "CRM Header Div. Active" as both active and inactive, to no effect. The only time I have been able to condense this list into a single line has been when I actually activated dummy divisions -- to which CRM would now retrieve only sales organizations, distribution channels, and blank divisions. This is not an ideal solution either.
How do I get the system to remove the blank divisions from being displayed? It is very confusing to the users, not to mention polluting the screen.
Example (both are being displayed, I only want the one with an actual value to be displayed):
Sales Org = 1000, Dist Chan = 10, Division = blank
Sales Org = 1000, Dist Chan = 10, Division = 10

any insight woudl be much appreciated. thanks.

Hide Sales Areas with division during BP change/creation

Hi,
in the BP Change or create process you can assign sales areas. In our application we see our sales areas twice. One are with divion and one sales area without division assigned to the same sales organisation and distribution channel.
In CRM we want to enter data just for sales areas without divisions during BP creation/change. Is it possible to hide the sales areas with divisions ?
Thanks for help,
Oliver

Hi
I am guessing that you have downloaded the sales org structure from R/3. What version CRM are you running? Do you have Division active?
Have a look at note 720488 and 742796 (+ 774689 - part II).

Can't see the sales area in XD01( in all sales area) even OVXG has defined.

Hi,
In XD01 while creating cusotmer master in all sales area system is not showing 7800-90-01( sales area)even though it is defined in OVXG.
This is the reason why may be am not able to create customer in 7800-90-01sales area.
here is the screen shot.
And OVXG. I think what ever OVXG it should be shown in customer master XD01 in all sales area right?
And let me know what more setting could be missing?
and the same above in Development system it is displying in Xd01 in all sales area hence am able to create customer master in sales area 7800-90-01.
I have compareted all the required settings in DEV and Quality system ( example VOR1, VOR2 and OVXG etc) all are same in both the system.
Please share your thougts.
thanks,

Hi Surya,
My understanding is that you have no problem in creating in customer master whereas there is an issue of sales area in Quality system. As mentioned by you you have compared all the configuration setting in both the client.
Suggest you to please compare at table levels as well like "TVTA for comon distribution channel and similarly for the common division (which i dont remember now) .I have faced this issue before thats why i am suggesting you to please check.
Thanks,
Umesh

Material not defined for a sales area

Hi,
     When i use an existing material to create a sales order, it says "Material not defined for a given sales area"
     When i go to MMO1 and type in copy from, i just get to copy the existing plant, but not the sales org, dist chnl or div.
     Could someone tell me how do i define my material for a given sales area?

hi,
when you are entering your material number you will have a n option called select views there you have find the followings views such as
basic data 1, basic data 2 , classification,sales org data 1,sales org data 2,sales; general data etc
if you select these views you can enter your division as you are going to enter the sales organisation, distribution channel in the begining by checking organizational elements.

Create default sales area data on BP creation using BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE

Dear all!
We have the following requirement: whenever a user creates an organization in WCUI, we need to create some default data for the BP in the background, such as relationships (employee responsible, etc) and sales area data.
I have created an implementation for BADI BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE and use it to add the desired data. For relationships, this is working just great, but I´m having trouble with the adding of sales area data, since the system is not properly saving the data. I use the following code:
* Assign data for sales area
MOVE: 'O 50000632' TO ls_sales_area-sales_organization,
        '01'   TO ls_sales_area-distribution_channel,
        '01'   TO ls_sales_area-division.
ls_data-customer_group1 = '330'.
ls_data-customer_group2 = '003'.
ls_data-customer_group3 = '002'.
ls_data-customer_group4 = '006'.
ls_data-customer_group5 = '021'.
ls_data-pay_guar_proc   = '0001'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_BUPA_FRG0010_ADD'
    EXPORTING
      iv_partner_guid = ls_changed_instances
      is_sales_area   = ls_sales_area
      is_data         = ls_data
      iv_x_save       = ' '
    IMPORTING
      et_return       = lt_return
      ev_error        = lv_error.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_BUPA_FRG0010_SAVE_COMMIT'.
Problem is, that with the call of
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_BUPA_FRG0010_SAVE_COMMIT'.
I get a short dump of type "SYSTEM_ON_COMMIT_INTERRUPTED", but without the call, the sales area data is not saved. I tried the same code in a Z-report (not in a BADI) and it worked just fine.
Any ideas on how to commit the data so the sales areas will be saved? Helpful answers will be rewarded!!
Thank you all & Kind regards
Christoph

Hi Pratyasha!
Thanks for your reply. I figured, that by explicitly calling the commit FM, system commit procedures are interrupted.
The thing is, that just by calling the FM for adding the sales areas does not result in those sales areas acutally created. What I mean is, that after the BAdI is executed, no sales areas are maintained for the newly created customer. All the more funny, since this exact same procedure is working for creating relationships. See following code:
READ TABLE it_changed_instances INTO ls_changed_instances INDEX 1.
* Get BP-Number for sy-user
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ISA_IUSER_GET_BP_TO_ALIAS'
    EXPORTING
      username         = sy-uname
    IMPORTING
      business_partner = lv_user_partner.
* Map GUID to partner number
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPA_NUMBERS_GET'
    EXPORTING
      iv_partner_guid = ls_changed_instances
    IMPORTING
      ev_partner      = lv_partner
    TABLES
      et_return       = lt_return.
CLEAR lt_return.
* Create employee responsible
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPR_RELATIONSHIP_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      iv_partner_1_guid = ls_changed_instances
      iv_partner_2      = lv_user_partner
      iv_relationship   = 'BUR011'
      iv_date_from      = sy-datlo
      iv_date_to        = '99991231'
      iv_testrun        = ' '
      iv_x_save         = ' '
      iv_xdfrel         = 'X'
    TABLES
      et_return         = lt_return.
which is in the same BAdI and acutally results in this relationship beeing created for my newly created customer. Works fine, just not for sales areas.
I´ll be grateful for any comments on that issue!
Kind regards
Christoph

Sales area duplicated for the Business Partner

Hi gurus,
I replicated the BO from R3 to CRM, and all the maintained sales area in R3 have been duplicated in CRM with and wihtout division.
Example:
In R3 for the BP 234
we have the sales area:
Sales Organization: BIOS
Distribtn Channel: 01
Product Division: AA
And in CRM you have:
Sales Organization: BIOS
Distribtn Channel: 01
Product Division: AA
And
Sales Organization: BIOS
Distribtn Channel: 01
Product Division: (without division)
Any one knows if it is normal, or is there a way to stop the replication without division.
Thanks,
TPT

Hi,
In the BP go to Sales Area Data and select sales tab. In that select the sales Org,D.Channel,division for which you want to maintain and enter all the detail in all the tabs (shipping,Sales,Billing etc) and save the BP.

Extending Sales Area data for a Business Partner

Hi CRM experts,
I searched the forum but couldn't find a thread that I'm looking for..
I've a query regarding the extension of Business Partner to a new Sales Area in CRM. In R/3 we can provide reference sales area and extend the customer to a new sales area. This will copy all the relevant sales area fields' data to the new sales area in R/3. Do we have similar option in CRM? If not what is best method to extend large volume of Business Partners from one Sales Area to a new Sales Area?
Any pointers around this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Charan

Error while posting Customer with Multiple sales areas using DEBMAS05.

Dear experts,
We are generating IDOCS vis SAP DS for posting Customer master. The message type used is DEBMAS and basic type is DEBMAS05. we have a requirement to create 1 customer with multiple sales areas. However, we are ending up with a strange error: "Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-NAME1". Despite the IDOC going into status 51, the customer gets created and the 1st sales area too. the 2nd sales area however is not created! The IDOC data definitely contains Name1, otherwise the customer would not have been created in the first place.
As the error message is related to the Address data, I also explored upon exploring this erorr further on the lines of Central Address management where in the ADRMAS and DEBMAS have to be passed together(IDOC Serialiization). OSS Note (384462) provides further details about this. One Important point from the note is:
"As you have to specify the logical name of the sending system among other things, SAP is not able to make any default settings in the standard systems. When you use the serialization groups delivered as a standard by SAP, the address objects are imported before the master objects.Thus the sequence address data before master objects must only be adhered to if one of the following points applies to your application:
Such fields are set as required entry fields that are only provided by the BAS in the Customizing of the customer or vendor master.
For your customers, contact persons exist to which a private address or a different business address is assigned.".
This is not the case in our situation, as we do not have required entry fields in customizing that are only provided by the BAS, so the error is all the more confusing and I am not too sure what the cause is.
If someone have experienced the same issue before and have found a solution to it, kindly help out.

I have found the cause and solution to this problem.
This error ”Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-NAME1” and other similar errors like “Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-SORT1“ which occurrs during the IDOC posting when there are more than one sales area or company code occurs when the customer number range is set up for Internal numbering. This means, that the number gets generated only at the time of save and upon debugging the IDOC, we found out that after creating the customer and the first sales area/company code record, the segment E1KNA1M is cleared completely! This is the reason, it throws an error which points to a mandatory KNA1 field as missing. (Like NAME1, SORT1 etc.)
This was resolved by splitting the IDOC into 2.
The solution is to First post only the KNA1 segment and create the customer.
In the second step, pass the IDOC with all other segments along with E1KNA1M, but pass only KUNNR in E1KNA1M and the rest of the fields in E1KNA1M as “/”: you would have got the KUNNR after the first step.
Important note: This requirement to split the IDOCs does not occur when the customer number is known upfront. (Meaning cases where the customer number is externally generated) I also tested this and created a customer with external numbering and I was able to post more than 1 sales area with the same IDOC.
I noticed multiple threads with the same issue, but none of it had a concrete answer. I hope this information will be useful for anyone facing similar problems.
Cheers
