How to include Sales Office and Sales Group into FI report?

Hi,
I have a requirement to add Customer characteristics u201CSales Groupu201D and u201CSales Officeu201D into a FI report which is based on the InfoCube 0COOM_C02. The values that needs to be presented is actual data (Customer Master Data; NOT transactional value.
In the DataSource u201C0COORDER_ATTRu201D, fields Sales Organization and Sales Group are present and it is brought to BW from R3. But I am not able to find the way to get the field Sales Office into SAP BW.
I checked the extraction program for the DataSource u201C0COORDER_ATTRu201D, the fields Sales Org and Sales Group are coming from a table u201CCE41000u201D but in this particular table there is no Sales Office present.
So can anyone guide me out in getting the Sales Office to the DataSource u201C0COORDER_ATTRu201D, or is there any way of getting it in BW directly by reading some Master Data table.
Thanks in advance

Hi Sangeeta,
As per your statement, my understanding is that the Organization Attributes are not maintained in the Customization. If all the values are properly maintained then based on the Organization Data determination, the system would have picked up the data. You can first check the Organization Structure and see all the attributes are properly maintained or not and then check whether the Object Permitted in determination checkbox is checked. Then create a Transaction and see that all the Organization data are getting filled properly.
Have a look at the following link for a complete guide to the Organization data determination customization.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/6d/5c1738453fde16e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
If the Organization data customization is not meeting your requirements then you can have a second look at the development approach. Then we can have a look at the available Objects to get the desired functionality.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Sales office to shipping point in VA01

Hello,
We've tried to create a new Sales Organization with a new Sales Office in SAP system, but got following problem in VA01:
In VA01 first screen you can choose them ok. But in sales order items Shipping Point/Receiving Point is automatically sales organization and NOT the sales office. You can't change the shipping point manually either, VA01 says "Shipping point is not defined for this transaction".
We've tried SPRO configuration but haven't found anything that helps, any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Dear Tom,
I dont think the new sales organization is the cause of your issue to determine shipping point in VA01 line items.
Because Neighter Sales organization nor sales office doesnt have any direct assignemnt with shipping Point.
Shipping Point determination is based on :
Shipping Conditions ( which will be copied either from Sales doc type or Customer master of the sold to party)
Loading Group ( will be taken from MMR-Sales/Plant general tab)
Delivering Plant ( taken from: Customer Material Info record or Customer Master record / Material Master record) .
Coming to your issue: as per your post,
Whether you want the system should determine Shipping Point based on either sales org or sales office? Ist so-Please confirm. But in std its not provided.

About configuring sales organization and sales office

how can i create sales organization and sales office in SAP ??

Hi
where to create new sales orgs and sales office is well explained by the other friend
After creating the new sales org there are a lot of assignments to be done in img-enterprise structure assignment-sales and distribution
1.   assign sales org to company code
2.   Assign sales org to distribution channel
3.   Assign sales org to division
4.   Assign sales org distribution channel to plant
5.   Set up sales area
6.   Assign sales office to sales area
Like that a lot of enterprise structure assignments needs to be completed
Plus
T code VOR1 define common distribution channels
T code VOR2 define common divisions
T code OVAO combine sales organizations
T code OVAM combine distribution channel
T code OVAN combine divisions
T code OVAZ Assign sales order types to sales areas
(Right now i dont have SAP access so that i am not able to tell you every thing
But these are must assignments which needs to be done if you have to use your new sales org
All the best

Relation between Sales Organization, Sales Office and Sales Group in SAP

Hi!
I want to know the relation between Sales Organization( VAKPA -VKORG), Sales Office( VAKPA-VKBUR) and Sales Group ( VAKPA-VKGRP) in SAP.
Relation in the sense, does One-to-One or One-to-Many relation exist between them..or do they form an hierarchy??
Thanks

Sales Org---->sales office: 1:N (routed through sales area i.e sales organization,distribution channel and division)
each sales office belongs to only one sales org.
each sales office may consists, many sales groups:
Sales office to Sales Group: 1:N (each sales group belongs to only one sales office- sales group means group of people)

How to Default sales office and group in Organisation tab of crmd_order

Hi Experts,
In crmd_order transaction when user enters sold-to-party, then organisational determination takes place which brings sales area,distribution channel and division automatically under organisation tab.
My requirement is to fetch the correspoding value of sales office and sales group for that Org unit and display them in the organisation tab.
My logic goes like this:
1) I have to fetch the sales office and sales group from the master data of ship to party ( i.e. bp with ship to party role).
2) Then Give the sales area key( org unit, distribution, division) to fetch/filter and display the sales office and sales group.
Which function modules to use to make the above 2 steps work. What code to write to make the above two steps work.
I did not find any FM that takes bp with ship to party role and gives back the org unit data alongwith sales office and sales group.
Then, how to link BP with role ship to party with Organisation Unit and then take the org key to read the org data.
Which tables and FMs should I consider for this. I am thinking of using the merge method of CRM_ORGMAN_BADI.
Thanks in advance,
Sangeeta.

Sales planning as per sales person wise/Sales group wise/Sales office wise

So that my company will do proper planning for production also to supply these materials timely. for this Company needs to analyse what is the given target and acheved target and what are all the materials are sold with respect to quantity. what materials are not sold means dead stock. So that how can we solve this solution in SAP.

Sales office authorization check in customer master,Sale order and billing

Hello Experts
We need to restrict authorization for customer master, sale order and billing based on sales office.
Can somebody guide me how to activate this ? Has anyone of you have successfully done that?
Regards
kumarlib

Hello Kumar,
User authorization is within Basis expertise, but if you want to get some feel for what authorization objects are take a look at trans SUIM. But basically how it works is for a given transaction the level of check is specified -- in this case Sales Office. Based on values stored in that field the user is allowed or not allowed transaction access.
So you determine whatever the needed matrix is for authorization restriction (i.e. user A can access Sales Office xxx, user B can access Sales Office yyy & so on). Also give Basis the transaction codes to restrict, along w/the technical table/field for each (like from customer master - KNVV-VKBUR, from sales doc level VBAK-VKBUR). Basis sets up the authorization object w/assignments to the users accordingly.
This is standard SAP & your Basis support should be familiar with it. Good luck.

Uploading open sales orders from sap

hi all,
i need to upload open sales orders from legacy to sap. pls advice what steps need to be followed for the same.
1) how we will we download open sales order from legacy and where..... is it to some flat file or some other option is there . pls tell some options.
2) how we will uload the sales ordes into sap . thru lsmw or is there some other option ?
3) there will be more number of fields in sap than in legacy. i think we need to manully create an excel file and add more fields manually in excel file so that the compulsonry feilds as per sap are present in sap ?
4) how will availability check happen in sap after sales order are t/f from legacy ?
rgds
pamela

hi pamela,
1.a. you need to down load in EXCEL in legact format and convert the same in LSMW format and upload it
2.a. LSMW - Functionally, BDC, BAPI - Technically. to my knowledge LSMW is better option.
3.a. first you download to EXCEL file from LEGACY, then align the same to SAP format you can add those fields that are mandatory as per your requriment.
4.a.You are uploading sales orders in SAP which are showing OPEN status from LEGACY before you uploading the sales orders MM consultant would have uploaded its stock through 561 - dont worry on that, even though if stock is not uploaded also not an issue it will confirm at the later date.
5.a. we have used LSMW process for our PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT, before that we tested BAPI for it some how it was not capturing some fields.
hope all your queries are solved

OB52 : open and close FI period by sales office

Dear experts,
I have a client who wants to open and close FI period by sales office.
After some researches, I find that itu2019s only possible to create the variants by FI company.
But what kind of solution I could suggest to the client ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards.
Nathalie

hi
in ob52, you can define periods by account type i.e. A,K,D,M,S.
in your case if your sales office shall cater to Customers, you can specify those particular Account codes.
here i assume that a sales office shall cater to only certain group of customer accounts.
thanks

Please send the Report for monthly sales(sales office wise,sales group wise,plant wise) with T.CODE.,

Hi
As per my knowledge there is no Standard Report in SAP based on sales office, sales group. and plant.
You may create your own report using MC18,MC21 and MC24.... Otherwise ask your ABAPer's help...

[CRM] Change sales office from within an order

We've been trying to get the following to work... as you might guess, so far without success.
From within a CRM order, if we change the partner number for the department a check is being done whether that partner belongs to the same sales office. If that's not the case, the sales office has to be adjusted.
Since this might have an effect on authorization, the changing of the sales office has to be done in a separate job (action). In this job, I do the following:
- Retrieve data on the object
- crm_order_read for that object
- select the correct sales office
- prepare the crm_orgman structure with the new data
- crm_order_maintain with the crm_orgman and inputfields tables
- optionally commit work, bapi_transaction_commit etc.
For as far as we can see, the data is correct. However nothing is being changed. Ideally what I'd like to do is break into the process, change the object that's being processed in memory, and let the system do its job.
What we've also tried is (shame):
- Retrieve data on the object
- crm_order_read for that object
- select the correct sales office
- direct update the corresponding tables with the new values
This works, but as soon as we return control to the system, the changed values (verified, if we look at the tables the values are changed) are reset to what they were.
It's taking way too much hours for something that should be (in my eyes) a pretty simple action. Any suggestions? Thx in advance!

Hi Egbert,
Please take a careful look at the GUIDs you are using: if you are using the orgman structures, the REF_GUID is not the ORGMAN-GUID but instead the ORDERADM_H-GUID. Can you confirm if this has been checked and if it then still is not working? The COMMIT_WORK BAPI is also not necessary.
Kind regards,
Joost Janssens
