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,
PP

dear 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!

Possible to use CCM 2.0 with both CRM and SRM using OCI?

Hi,
I am preparing a solution with SRM, CRM and CCM where CCM should be the central product catalog,
internal ordering should be done using SRM and external ordering (reselling and billing) using CRM.
However, the content is the same, so I either need to provide it once in CCM and create different
views and OCI-connections from SRM and CRM or I need a way to extract a catalog from CCM and import
it into CRM.
In posting 83841
Is SRM Mandatory with CCM?
I learned that CCM 3.0 will support CRM processes.
However, I could not find any hint when CCM 3.0 will be available.
I assume CCM 2.0 support OCI as well, so in principle it should be possible to use one CCM view in CRM and another CCM view in SRM.
Is this assumption correct?
Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,
yes, via OCI one catalog can be integrated into different applications.
Regarding the release: CCM 2.0 is the last release of the SAP Catalog.
There will be no CCM in the future.
In the new version of MDM the catalog function is integrated and it is
mandatory to be used in new implementations as well with SRM 6.0.
There are some tricky things in CCM and it is hard to get support, as
the main focus is MDM.
When you have a chance to plan the landscape, consider MDM from
long term perspective.
Thanks,
Claudia

Use virtual channel name as input to DAQmx Write? LV8 and DAQmx

I've created a task for digital output that contains 8 named channels using the DAQmx Create Channel VI in Labview. Is it possible to use the channel name as an input to the DAQmx Write VI to reference the desired channel? I tried wiring a string with the channel name to the "task/channels in" input but I get a -200428 error that says the Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid.
The help "name to assign" input for the DAQmx Create Channel VI says
If you use this input to provide your own names for the virtual channels, you must use the names when you refer to these channels
in other NI-DAQmx VIs and Property Nodes
OK, so how do you use the name assigned in other VIs?
George

George,
I think that there may be some confusion here about the difference between local and global virtual channels. First of all, please take a look at the following knowledge base:
Physical Channels, Virtual Channels, and Tasks in NI-DAQmx
As discussed in this KB, local global channels are created inside a task, and they only apply to that task. In the help file for the DAQmx Write VI, the "task/channels in" description says "if you provide a list of virtual channels, NI-DAQmx creates a task automatically." When you wire a string to this input, a new task is being created, and unless the channel name that you wire in is a global virtual channel (listed in MAX), you will get the error 200428 that you mentioned. This is because that virtual channel that you are specifying is local to another task and is not associated with this new task.
One solution to this issue is to use the DAQmx Save Global Channel VI to save your local virtual channel as a global virtual channel before calling DAQmx Write. Once this is done, you can then wire the same string constant to the "task/channels in" input of DAQmx Write or other DAQmx VI's.
The help text is still correct, but is only applicable in certain situations. For example, if you create and name an analog input local virtual channel with DAQmx Create Channel, you could then use this channel name as the source input to a DAQmx Trigger VI configured for an analog edge start trigger. You could also use that channel name as the input to the "ActiveChans" DAQmx Channel Property, which would enable you to modify the properties of that particular channel.
Hopefully this information is helpful to you.

Sharing Distribution channel among 2 Sale org

Hi Gurus,
I wish to verify if the following is correct:
1. Within a Company code, the sales organization 1 can use distribution channel DC 2 of sales organization 2.
Likewise for Div.
Thanks.
regards
M Russo

There are four kind of Relations in SAP
1 - One to Many
2 - Many to One
3 - Many to Many
4 - One to One
for Sales Org to DC is Many to Many
means one sales org can have Many DC
and One DC can be assigned to Many Sales. Org
one sales org can have more than one distribution channel. One distribution channel can have more than one Sal Org.
Another Example
One Company code can have Many Plants
this is One to Many Relations.

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

Multiple distribution channels in one shop application possible?

Dear all,
maybe someone can support me with the following requirement:
I have one shop application (SAP CRM ISA 4.0) that shall be used for selling sales products (distribution channel 10) as well as service products (distribution channel 20) at parallel.
The shop is based on one catalog. In this catalog I have two catalog variants - one for each distribution channel.
Problem:
A service product (distribution channel 20) is never released for the sales channel (distribution channel 10).
When having more than one catalog variant the user has to select a certain catalog/catalog variant when logging onto the shop application. By selecting a certain variant only materials can be purchased that are released for the distribution channel defined in the selected catalog variant (same is valid for TREX search).
=> Does anyone know if it is possible to set up a process to sell products of different distribution channels in one shop application out of one product catalog without releasing a material for both distribution channels?
Thanks a lot for you help.
Best Regards,
Rainer Gryschka

You can do this by specifiying the appropriate data load rule to be used by ERPi within Integration Option 1 in the location. This will kick off the data load rule you specify in ERPi that should be tied to the corresponding set of books in EBS.

Using new Distribution Channel for dealers.

Hi experts
Currently Domestic sales is operating only on one channel DD.
Proposal is to set DR channels for all Dealers sales and DD will be used only for Retail Sales .
DR Channel was previously configured but we were only using DD channel for both retailors & dealers sales.. all configuration is already done like sales area setup and pricing etc. for DR channel
so i would like to what are the pros and cons for using two Distribution channel and maintainence we require.
thank you

You need to extend all customers and materials for new distribution channel.
You also neeed to maintain prices for DD and DR channels separately.
ITs advantage is this that your reporting will be separately executed. You can check how much sales you have done in retail and how much you have done in Whole sale.
I dont know what kind of business your company is running. I suggest you to make a provision for 3rd distribution channel which is DC. B2B sales. corporate sales. May after some months or years your company feel need of it.
For extending customers and materials 2 uploads will do this. Ask you ABAPER to create uploads.
There must be separate distribution channels for corporate, retail, wholesale and Expots if your company is dealing with exports sale.
Hope its clear to you now

The use of Common Distribution Channel & Division

Dear All,
What is common distribution channel & common division ? What is the use of it ?
Regards
Rakesh

Hi
To put it simple whenever you enter a distribution channel or division in sales order the system will search for the valid records in the common distribution channel and division which is assigned
E.G if yourcommonDistribution channels assignment is like this
Distribution channels 11 commonDistribution channels 11
For 12 it is 11
For 13 it is 13
Now in sales order when you put Distribution channel 11 the system will search records against 11
Now in sales order when you put Distribution channel 12 the system will search records also against 11
Now in sales order when you put Distribution channel 13 the system will search records against 13
The same concept is applies for Division
Hope you are very clear
This is very important assignment without this you cant do anything in S.D
You test it and see and you will understand it much better
Cheers

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.

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 Bagarai
