Hi,
here's the menu path in IMG: Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Sales and Distribution -> Define... sales organization
But please note: this is definitely an optional task, it's only for statistical purposes. For reporting purposes you should still be able to get all your analyses based on the organizational assignments of the sites (site master) and also in the business documents (e.g. in purchase order header data) Anyhow, there's one restriction: if you do this, then the purchasing organization in question has to be assigned as standard purchasing organization to those sites, that have the sales organization assigned (further purchasing organizations could still be assigned then).
From a business process point of view the sales organization - purchasing organization assignment is of no relevance.
There might be one aspect related to Retail Pricing: if you forgot to assign a reference site for pricing (you should do this though! - Logistics General -> Retail Pricing -> Sales Price Calculation -> Assign Pricing Type/Reference Site to Organizational Level), the system could use that purchasing organization for supply source determination.
