Sales area with example

hai!
i am a fresher to SAP SD..so plz explain me what is sales area, sales organization, distribution channel & division with proper examples... also explain SD organizational structure with example..
thanks

Hello,
Sales Organisation : The sales organization is an organizational unit within logistics, that structures the company according to its sales requirements. A sales organization is responsible for the sale and distribution of goods and services.
It represents the selling unit as a legal entity.
Distribution Channel : The distribution channel represents the channel through which salable materials or services reach customers. Example: wholesale, retail ,direct sales.
Division : An organizational unit based on responsibility for sales or profits from saleable materials or services.
Sales Area : Sales and Distribution is organized according to sales organization, distribution channel and division. A combination of these three organizational units forms the sales area.
Creating a sales area allows you to exclude certain combinations of the different organizational areas.

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).

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.

Assign document type to sales area

Hi,
I created a new document type and know when i assign this document type to sales area < 1000/10/10 >, its giving an error message " define < 1000/10/10 >first as general sales area" .
I defined an sales area with that combination. can anyone help me in solving this?
Thanks,
Challa

Hi,
Step 1.
IMG (SPRO) -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Set up sales area.
Step 2.
IMG (SPRO) -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
a. Combine sales organizations
b. Combine distribution channels
c. Combine divisions
d. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas

BP - Sales Area Data

Hi,
How to activate "Own Data" push buttons on the sales, shipping, organization views under the Sales Area Data for a BP ?
Thanks
Guest01

Hi
First you need to create a Business Partner and maintain required sales areas with default values.
Run Transaction crmc_bupa_consum and enter your created BP and save.
Note: If you have R/3 connected then you should not create Ref customer in CRM but download ref Customer which is maintained in R/3 from Environment-->Initial download reference customer.
After this if you create any consumer for those sales areas you can see ref data and own data.

Plant - Sales area

Hi-
small doubt here,
am working in ECC 6.0
i have done all the basic settings -
when am creating scheduling agreement-
shipping point is not determining automatically - even though i maintain shipping point determination.
ship cond's- CMR
Loading group - MMR
Delivering plant - Plant ( only one)
Shipping point - XXXX ( only one)
I have maintained sales org- dist channel - plant assignment too
error: maintain Plant in sales area
as we all know- there is no direct assignment to sales area with plant

Dear,
Also, Check following:
1. Customer Master --> Tab: Sales Area --> Sub-Tab: Shipping --> Delivering Plant
2. Material Master --> Tab: Sales: sales org1 --> Sub-Tab: General Data --> Delivering Plant
3. Customer-Material Infor records (CMIR) in VD51/ VD52
Under Tab: "Shipping", you will find a field "Plant".
Best Regards,

DSD route settlement with multiple sales are

Hi folks,
I have looked in this forum for an answer for my problem but haven't found any, so i am creating this new thread.
Well i am trying to settle a shipment in /DSD/DE_ENTRY transaction with multiple sales area in it, example:
Visit 1 - Sales Org(D002) Distribution channel(GN) Division(GA)
Visit 2 - Sales Org(D002) Distribution channel(GN) Division(GB)
Visit 3 - Sales Org(D017) Distribution channel(17) Division(D1)
The problem i get is that when i settle the shipment he mixes up the sales area in the visits, so far, allways in visit 3 where he puts up D002, 17, D1, giving the error of non existent sales area when trying to create the order(he doesn't mix up for all orders, only for some ones in the visit).
Another strange fact is that i made 3 shipments with same data, and in all 3, he mixed up for different documents, in 1 he created 2 documents fine, in other one only 1, making me believe that he "randomly" atributes the sales area.
What i need is to "manipulate" or have a solution for standard doesn't mix up the sales area, and atribute the correct sales area to the orders to create based on the sales are in the visit.
Best Regards.

Thanks for the link, it's more or less the functionality that I'm looking for but the issue with BW is that I need to do the Settlement at the moment that routes are arriving "on line" and with BW I need wait the load to BW system. A lot of routes are arriving frequently.
¿Do you know a R3 functionality for this? or ¿do you know a "Shipments settlement" who has all Shipments of the route? in order to use same transaction that is by transport.
Thank's a lot

ITunes has compilations for sale of, for example, Folk Music and Reggae, usually with 3 levels of inclusion. How do I find these in iTunes to purchase them?

iTunes has compilations or samplers for sale of, for example, Folk Music or Reggae, usually with 3 levels of inclusion: a beginner selection, one which includes more, and a deeply inclusive set. Many of these are very good but since upgrading iTunes I can't figure out how to find these. How do I find these in iTunes to purchase them?

If for some reason you failed to import any purchases made on your iphone to your computer, not good, then
you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

CRM - Bapi for creating relationship between BPs with sales area data

Hi
I am looking for BAPI for creating relationship between business partners with sales area data in CRM 5.0.
Example - I would like to create relationship type CRMH03.
Bapi BUPR_RELATIONSHIP_CREATE does not allow for maintaining sales area data (Sales org, distribution channel, division).
Does anybody know such a bapi?

Radek

Hey Radek,
I am actually looking for the same functionality. Were you able to find a solution although no one replied to your question in this thread? If so, it would be very helpful for me to know. Maybe you have to combine more BAPIs in order to add the organization information to the relationship. But I have no idea how.

Any option to get the list of Invoice with respect to Sales Area

Dear All,
Is there any option to check the list of Invoices with respect to the Sales area.
Because, in VF05, we are getting the list either for a Payer or a Material.
I want to see the list of Invoices for a Sales area. I mean, it should be similar to VA05, where we can get the list of Sales Orders even without providing the Customer and Material information.
Reagrds,
Mullairaja

HI
Use the T code VF05N and select the option Bill documents in Fi
Here you can get the list of invoices
Try with MC+2
regards

Creation of sales order with reference - Zfields in Add data B are not cop

Hi all,
Please help me in the issue . I am creating sales order with reference to returns order . All item fields are getting copied but the Zfields which are added in addtional data b of sales order are not getting copied. Can anyone please let me know the procedure to copy the custom fields.
Thanks in advance,

The setting of field when copy by reference is best done in the copy rules.
If you go to transaction VTAA, and look to the order type you are copying to, you will find a data transfer rule number.
Then go to transaction VOFM, menu option DATA TRANSFER -> ORDERS and find the matching data transfer rule number.
Select and press the "Source text" button, here you will find the data from the copied order in structure CVBAK, and you can apply the code to set the VBAK structure fields appropriately.
This should then populate the data on the copied order.

Hi RadhaKrishna,
In standard system it is not possible to create sales order from a quotation whose sales are is different.
However I think this is possible by using some user exit in sales order. I have never tried this.

Inquiry with reference to an Inquiry for Diff Sales Area

HI All,
I want to create an Inquiry (for Sales Area 2: 0100 AA BB) with the reference of an Inquiry(Sales Area 1: 0100 CC BB).
Inquiry type is same for both inquiries. I'm done with following settings
Copy Control : Inquiry to Inquiry
Material: Extended in Sales Area 2.
Customer: Extended in Sales Area 2.
Both Sales Area's assigned to Inquiry type
Could you please suggest me if anything is missing OR the correct copy control setting for this scenario.
Ramchandra

hi I think you can achive with creating new Copying requirements
use the reference of 002 (Header - diff customer)
In this they are checking
Is the sales org. the same in both reference and target?
Is the dist. channel the same in both reference and target?
Is the division the same in both reference and target?
Hope this will work

If BP is created with sales area, it doesn't reach R/3

Hi,
In our CRM 5.0 system, if we create a BP only with general information (name, address etc.), it reaches R/3 fine. But if I create a BP with general information & sales area info at the same time & then save it, problems...
An entry is created in SMW01 with queue name SEE_TABLE_SMW3_BDOCQ. This entry has two rows of data. One INSERT entry for creating BP general info, and one UPDATE entry for sales area data. I can see the update entry as first row.
I think what is happening is, when this bdoc is processed,first UPDATE entry is processed. Unfortunately since the customer is not created in R/3 by that time, bdoc gets an error "Business partner 0001234567 does not exist as customer, change not possible".
And bdoc is not processed, BP doesn't go to R/3.
Any idea how can this be corrected?
Regards,
Kaushal

Did you check the mandatory fields on R/3 with respect to sales area data? As a quick test make all R/3 sales area fields for that account group as optional and try to upload
Thanks,
