Production settlements causing unassigned distribution channel in PA

Hi Experts,
When a production settlement process is run we have noticed that we are getting various unassigned postings in PA. The settlements do not generate distribution channel or reporting group assignments amongst other things.
Is there somewhere that these can be defined via the settlement process ? Or are these scenario's dealt with using Top-down distribution or Derivation rules ?
Many Thanks for any thoughts.
Regards,
Matt

Hi,
Please check if the settlement rule contains the required characteristics. If not they have to be populated via derivation i.e. tcode KEDR. If this is also not possible then top down distribution could be explored.

Hi Rohit
Did you check FUNCTION field does it maintained as "COMPARE" of the customizing object(DNL_CUST_S_AREA) in Trans.R3AC3 ,if it is so just remove the COMPARE from function field.
OR
copy DNL_CUST_S_AREA and maintained as ZDNL_CUST_S_AREA and do the same what i mentioned in the above.and run the initial load by using R3AS.
hope this will solve your problem
please get back to me if your not solve this issue

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.

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.

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.

Material Master ------ Distribution channel block

Dear Experts
There is a doubt when we give the status indiacator in the MMR in the sales org 1 that this product is obsolete will not be used in the sales organization and distribution channel.
the system does not give the error only the delivery cannot be created from such order but how will the user understand that thsi product is obsolete or replaced or closed down.
there is no pop up message,
regards,
A S

You can make it as a warning or error message.
To achieve this, in material master whatever value you have maintained in the said field, make a note of the same.
Now go to TCode OVSU, double click on the status which you have assigned in Material Master so that you can see list of documents that can be blocked. Wherever you maintain B the end user cannot create that document.
Check this and post the feedback in case still you have any issues.

Distribution channel for manufacturing industries

Hi.
For manufacturing industries of consumer products what is best channel distribution choice in SAP, taking into account that the customers in SAP aren´t the consumers?
A.
10 Wholesalers
20 Distributors
30 Supermarkets
or
B
10 Wholesale
20 Retail
If the answer is A,.... Why SAP give us the option of extend a customer to the another distribution channel ?
Thank you.

As you would be aware the purpose of creating Distribution Channel is that through some channel you have to distribute the material to customer and we call this channel in many ways like, wholesale, retail, export etc.,
As long as the sales area (combination of sales organisation, distribution channel and division) is clear in SD side, all sales reports can be differentiated easily and from end user point of view, this will be much useful.
In some cases, you need to go in for a common distribution channel due to the fact that instead of having lot of distribution channels, you can simplify the configuration part by having a common channel.
The decision to go different distribution channel or common distribution channel needs to be analysed on case to case basis and of course with clients' concurrence.

Incompletion procedure for specific distribution channel

Dear SD Gurus,
I created a sales orders and debugged the system. It is giving an message: u2018Pricing error: Mandatory condition Z900 is missingu2019 and order is considered to be as incomplete. Below is the detail for this message:
Pricing error: Mandatory condition Z900 is missing
Message no. V1801
Diagnosis
The obligatory condition Z900 does not exist. The document is therefore considered to be incomplete from the point of view of pricing.
The cause can be, for example, that a condition record does not exist for condition Z900 or that a field overflow has occurred when the condition rate was calculated.
Procedure
Check why the condition could not be found. Use the pricing analysis function on the pricing screen to do this. If necessary, add the missing condition manually to the document.
This message is getting displayed through standard and not through any user exit. Standard program details are given below where the message is displayed:
Program Name    : SAPLV61A
Include program : LV61AA42
Form Name         : XKOMV_UEBERTRAGEN_NACH_TKOMV
Line No.              : 249
Message no.        : V1801
Now my question here, i have 4 distribution channels. The message is coming out for 02, 03 and 04 dist channels and not for 01. Now i want to know whether Is it possible to remove the mandatory Z900 condition from the incompletion
procedure in the 04 and 01 distribution channels only? While it has to be applicable at 02 and 03.
Could anybody let meknow what and where i have to code. The name of userexit or include will be fine.
Regards
Vinod Kumar
Edited by: Vinod Kumar on Feb 17, 2011 6:21 PM

Is it possible to remove the mandatory Z900 condition from
the incompletion procedure in the 04 and 01 distribution channels only?
Yes provided the sales document type is different from the other, so that you can remove the existing incompletion procedure assigned to sales document type for the above sales area.
where i have to code
Try with the following in case the sales document type is same for all sales areas.
1) User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
2) User-Exits in program MV45AFZB - USEREXIT_NEW_PRICING_VBAP

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.
--James

Hi,
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.

Distribution channel wise credit limit on one credit control area

Dear colleagues,
I got requirement to define credit limits for customers depending on distribution channel but all must be within one credit control area. Is it possible to set up system in that manner?
Regards,
Harry

Hi Shichang,
My company have 3 distribution channels Wholesales, Retail and Internet. Each of them sell unique products, but in some portion their portfolio is overlapping. Each of this distribution channels are independent departments and each of them define own credit limits for the customers. Management want to have one credit control area for reporting purposes.
One customer can buy from one or more distribution channels. If for example X Inc, buy from Wholesales they should have 100,000.00$ credit limit, but if they buy from Internet they should have 10,000.00$. Each of this credit limits need to be independent, but in reports everything should be summarized.
Hope that this detailed explanation is helpful.
Regards,
Harry

SAP Distribution Channels for REPORTING

The Distribution Channels, how can one make sure that this is Blueprinted correctly, so that it doesnt have an affect on the reporting?
correct me if im worng, what affect does a SD Distribution CHannel have on SD or other reporting in finance? what issues may the business get if this isnt set up properly or accordinlgy?
the company has ONE COMPANY code and several or 2 plants.

Keep sales area (sales org, DC, & Divisions) as flat as possible. 1 company and # number of plants can be supported by 1 sales area. There are many fields in both the customer & material master that can be used for reporting, pricing etc.
The more sales areas means the more areas that master data is extended to. There are business driven reasons that justify multiple sales areas (2 unique sales forces, selling different products) but try KISS 1st.
