Purpose defining common distrn channel? give some examples

purpose defining common distrn channel? give some examples

hi,
If you do not need the master data (customer / material and condition master data) to
be differentiated according to distribution channels, you have to set up a representative
distribution channel. The master data for the representative distribution channel
applies to all distribution channels for which you have set up this reference in
Customizing.
By doing this, you can minimize the effort of entering and maintaining master data.
In addition, you can update statistics for distribution channels without having to create
master data for the various distribution channels.
Consider you have three Dist Chnls (01, 02 & 03) and 10 customers who can buy thru either of these dist chnls. In order to enter a sales order you will have to extend the customers to all the 3 Dist Chnls, which means for 10 customers you will have 30 records in the tables. In real time scenario the number of customers and dist chnls are huge and they keep increasing. Imagine the amount of data you will have to maintain.
For this purpose SAP came up with the Common Distribution Channel Concept where you would identify the dist chnl for which you can maintain records and in the process reduce the number of records and also use it for the other dist chnls too.
If you create the dist chnl 01 as the common dist chnl and link 02 & 03 to it, you will have to maintain only 10 records and still can use it for all the 3 dist chnls. The same is applicable for the common division.

    how to definfe common division?   give some examples

    Hi,
    You can define that customer master records, which have been created for each sales organization for a distribution channel (or division), are also valid in other distribution channels (or divisions). As a result, you create and change customer master records that are required in different distribution channels or in different divisions only once. This makes it easier to create and change master records.
    Divisions
    In Customizing, you can specify other divisions in which customer master data (and article master data and prices) from the reference division are also valid.
    You do this in Customizing for Master Data (Sales and Distribution) in the following activities:(SPRO>SD>Master data)

  • Give some examples of sd tickets

    give some examples of sd tickets, how these are solved?????/

    Check these few ones
    1. Account Assignment of Customer / material not maintained in Customer / Material Master (If maintained in combination in VKOA).
    Solution:
    Option 1 (Standard solution):
    step 1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> cancel Delivery --> Cancel Sales Order
    step 2: Maintain Customer master / Material Master correctly.
    step 3: Recreate sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoicing.
    Option 2:
    Force the Account Assignment Group of Customer / Material through Debug in change mode of Billing document, which will release Billing Document to Accounting.
    2. Account Key not maintained in Pricing Procedure:
    Impact: This may create accounting document, but if condition type, which are to be posted to account, but do not have account key maintained in pricing procedure, it will not be post the relevant condition type to G/L account.
    3. Billing Document not being released to accounting --
    In Material Master, there is some link between Profit Centre & MRP Type. If one of it is not maintained, erratically few documents get stuck while releasing Billing Document to accounting. Few of course get posted.
    Solution1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> Cancel Delivery --> Block the sales Order & Create new sales Cycle all over again after rectifying Material master.
    Solution 2: (Temporary Solution) In Debug mode in Billing, force the Profit Center in Billing Document with the help of Abaper. But ensure Material master is rectified.
    From FI Side, you require to check that all the G/L account has been maintained through T.Code: FS00. G/L account being Master data has to be created in each client to upload through LSMW / SCATT / BDC.
    In Billing Document in change mode (in the first screen where we enter Billing Document number), on the top most left hand corner, take a dropdown on Billing Document & select Release to accounting. Here you can get the under mentioned possible message:
    1. G/L account not found
    2. Cost Element not maintained for G/L account.
    In both the above cases, FI consultant requires to take corrective action.

  • What is IMPORT/EXORT statements ?please give some example code?

    What is IMPORT/EXORT statements ?please give some example code?

    EXPORT :-To read data objects from an ABAP program into ABAP memory, use the following statement:
    Syntax
    EXPORT <f1> [FROM <g 1>] <f 2> [FROM <g 2>] ... TO MEMORY ID <key>.
    This statement stores the data objects specified in the list as a cluster in memory. If you do not use the option FROM <f i >, the data object <f i > is saved under its own name. If you use the FROM <g i > option, the data objet <g i > is saved under the name <f i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
    The EXPORT statement always completely overwrites the contents of any existing data cluster with the same name <key>.
    IMPORT :-To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
    Syntax
    IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
    This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
    You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
    they are used to save and reterive data in ABAP memory.
    here is an example to clear about them.
    <b>REPORT ZWA_TEST2 .
    data: it_bkpf type table of bkpf with header line.
    SELECT * FROM bkpf into table it_bkpf.
    EXPORT it_bkpf TO MEMORY ID 'MID'.
    refresh it_bkpf.
    IMPORT it_bkpf FROM MEMORY ID 'MID'.
    LOOP AT It_bkpf.
    write:/ it_bkpf-belnr.
    ENDLOOP.</b>

    what is process in oracle give some examples

    The tem "process" has multiple meaning in Oracle but most likely you probably are referring to the Oracle background process used to perform the work for an Oracle session.  These are in fact OS processes spawed by Oracle using fork on UNIX/Linux and would be task thread on Windows.  You can find infomraion on these proceses via the v$process view.  You join v$process to v$session to see the front and backend processes for a connection to Oracle.

  • What is purpose of common division?

    what is purpose of common division? give
    some examples

    Dear Mr Raj,
    Regarding common division let me try to offer an example:-
    A petrol pump offers both petrol and diesel, of  different grades and brand names.
    There are certain pumps that are located inside cities, that do not have much diesel sales, and so confine themselves to selling petrol.
    There are other pumps, located on highways that cater solely to large commercial vehicles, that are run exclusively on diesel.
    Both products are supplied from the same depot of a petroleum product refiner.
    Vehicles from depots to the pumps, may carry either one or both of the products, concurrently, for delivery at the same or at different pumps, from the point of view of optimally utilising the capacity and similar services of the vehicle.
    Both the products are defined as different divisions, within the respective material master.
    To cater to such a scenario, the provision of common division is used, where one of the products is used as common division, say petrol for both petrol and diesel.
    It practically works as follows:-
    A common sales order may be entered for both the products indented together by the same pump.
    A common billing document would be generated.
    This is as far as convenience of order entry and billing go.
    Further, in case of pricing, terms for local levies like octroi can be set up together bringing down the maintenance of pricing conditions.
    Trust this serves to illustrate the use of common division for order entry and pricing.

    K Gopidas

  • 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

    4:And also if these are not setup , do we get an error while creating customers and materials for sales areas?
    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.

  • CMIR Common Distribution Channel

    Hi
    I have a few distribution channels e.g.
    10
    20
    30
    I have a few divisions e.g.
    01
    02
    03
    Now suppose I make 10 as the common distribution channel.
    My Sales area are defined as
    1000/10/01
    1000/20/02
    1000/30/03
    I create a customer master with the following details:
    Customer number : 1234
    Sales Area : 1000/10/02
    It allows me to create the customer and extend it to sales are 1000/10/02
    Now I create an order with customer number 1234
    The sales are which gets determined automatically is
    1000/20/02
    Reason for picking up 20 as the distribution channel is because division 02 is only associated with Distribution channel 20.
    Now the main problem comes while creating the CMIR ( Customer Material Info Record )
    If I try to create a record for customer 1234 using sales are 1000/10, I get the following error
    Combination of sales org 1000 and distribution channel 10 is not defined
    What should I do in this case.
    The purpose of Common distribution channel failed in this case?

    hi Mona
    Do common distribution channels and common division. in spro
    go to VOR1---Make entries with
    Sales org--Distribution channel
    10000010
    10001010
    and go to VOR2
    1000-00-01
    1000-01--01
    Make these settings and do again the process.
    If any quries get back to me..
    Regards
    Srinivas.
