What is the use of 'division' in sales n distribution

hi.
what is the use of 'division' in sales n distribution. can any one explain me with examples

Hi,
In SAP, why do we assign division to Sales organisation not to distribution channel?
In SAP Business Process
Sales Area= Sales Org.Dist.ChannelDivision.
Its Triangular intraction
                                  Sales organization
          Dist.Channel   <----
>           Division
Sales Org controls Distribution Channel and Division
Distribution Channel: The channel that is choosen by the organization to make their product reach the end customer.(Network)
Division: Ex: HLL----
> Detergents, Out of Home,Food Products,Health Care Sectors/Departments
              TATA Motars: Trucks/Bus,Cars,Heavy Vechiles Etc...
Division is an Oragaizational Unit.
The Division in the Material Master is not an Organizational Unit that can be used to maintain related fields. It is a field which is used to uniquely assign a material to a Division.

What is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document

Hi,
Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.

Hi,
Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.
Lowest Status No: Sale Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated; the old status with status number is deactivated. This is only valid under certain conditions. The system makes a note of the status with the highest status number that has been reached up to the present. The "lowest number" of this status number determines which status number a new status must have.
Highest Status No: Sales Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated, the old status with a status number is deactivated, provided the new status number does not exceed the 'highest number' defined for the old status number

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use of t-code MD74 - Reorganising independant requirements

what is the use of t-code MD74 - Reorganising independant requirements

basically it to delete the unwanted PIR for the last period.
Let us say you planned PIR for 100.
At the end of Period the total salae order were 90, PIR shows 10 excess, this has to be deleted. We can do it manually, but this can be done collectively
pl go through the link below
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
With the reorganization function, you can delete planned independent requirements for which there are no sales orders in the database. You can delete the planned independent requirements history.
A key date is required to carry out reorganization which is calculated as follows: the system checks whether a reorganizing interval is maintained in Customizing for the plant that you want to reorganize. If an interval is maintained for this plant, the system uses this information to calculate the key date. If no interval is maintained for this plant, the system checks whether intervals are maintained for any other plants, and selects the largest interval to calculate the key date. You can change the key date proposed in the initial screen for reorganization.
You can change the proposed key date when deleting the history. You can set a shorter interval for deleting histories than for deleting the requirements records.

What is the use of table control in bdc is it same in module pool table con

Hi,
What is the use of table control in bdc is it same in module pool table control?
regards
eswar

Hi,
Table control means it contains as table and it will scroll in vertical and horizontal.
In module pool by using screen we can create new table control.
But BDC table control means here we can populate the data into the table control.
i.e.if you take VA01 for sales order creation in the belwo of VA01 screen there is table control for the filling of material details so here we will write the code to populate the data into the table control screen.

What is the use of Standart text in SapScripts.

What is the use of Standart text in SapScripts?
How to Use in Forms?

Hi Puja Das,
Welcome to SCN,
As per knowledge, Standard text is mainly meant for Functional People
For eg : Try changing a Sale Order no. In VA02.
If you see the Header or Item details You will find Texts tab. In that you can see Form Header, Header Note1/2.
Here the Functional / User will enter some text according to their understand, when they print regarding they need that text on a FORM.
Thus these text will be stored in a Standard Text format.
And You can Use Standard Text in Script as follows:

What is the use of Condition in Query Designer ??
How to use condition in Query Designer ??

Hi,
Conditions in a query can be defined for both characteristic combinations and key figures.
Characteristic combinations can be used using the ranking list functionality (e.g Top N or Last N customers with highest sales).
Key figures can be assigned the value limit conditions ( for e.g. display only rows in the query for which the key figure > 10 ).
For your specific requirements in which you need to display only a limited set based on the key figures, then you can go for conditions.
The conditions can be allowed to work on all the drill down characteristics independently, single characteristics or combination as well based on your requirement.
While execution the report, you can activate or deactivate the condition anytime by right clicking on the data cells.

What is the use of change pointer concept in ale?

what is the use of change pointer concept in ale?
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.

What is the use of usage in item category determination?

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of usage in item category determination? pls give examples.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi John,
Assign Item Categories
In this menu option, you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group. At the same time, you can specify additional item categories with which the system default can be overwritten. There is a maximum of three possible alternative item categories.
If, for example, you enter a material with the item category group NORM in a standard order, the SAP System determines the allowed item category via the assignment of item categories to sales document types and item category groups.
The system default and the allowed alternatives are always determined from the sales document type and one or two further criteria. The system default depends on the following criteria:
sales document type
item category group
item category of the higher-level item
item category usage
Note
The SAP System automatically copies the item category determined for a sales document item to the delivery.
Recommendation
Depending on the initial situation you can start the assignment differently:
When you define a new sales document type, you should specify the proposed and the allowed item categories for the materials that are represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category, you should specify for which sales document types an item category is proposed or which item category is possible for the materials represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category group, you are to enhance the assignment of item categories to sales document types by this new item category group.
Actions
To define item category determination, proceed, for example, as follows:
1. Choose the sales document type to which you want to assign item categories.
2. Then choose one of the item category groups.
3. Specify all the allowed item categories for the combination of sales document type and item category group.
If you are dealing with a non-material item, you must specify the corresponding item usage.
If it is a subitem, specify the item category of the higher-level item.
If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the sales document, you must indicate the combination of item category, item category group and sales document type as a default value.
4. If necessary, specify between one and a maximum of three item categories, with which the system default can be manually overwritten during document processing.
Thanks & Regards

What is the use of guid in CRM?

Hi ,
what is the use of guid in crm.
there is nothing like this in r/3.if the data is to flow in from r/3 to crm or crm - r/3 is do we verify the guid.partner guid or product guid.
please make me understand this.
thank you,
hun

GUIDs are system generated unique keys which identifies CRM objects (campaigns, sales documents, business partners, products etc.). CRM & MSA works on GUIDs. Most of the table relationships are defined on GUIDs.
Important CRM tables:
COMM_PRODUCT : Products
CRMC_T077D : customer account groups
CRMD_ORDERADM_H (for header) CRMD_ORDERADM_I (Item data)
CRMD_ORDERADM_H Business Transactions CRM
CRMD_ACTIVITY_H Activity
CRMD_OPPORT_H Opportunity
BUTOO : Customer details
BUT001 BP: General data II
BUT100 BP: Roles
BUT150 BP relationship: Attribute table (test
different
BUT_HIER_TREE Business Partner Group Hierarchy
CDBC_T_PRODUCTID Mapping: Product Id
CDBD_ORGMAN Business transaction - organizational unit -
set
COMC_PRODUCT General Product Settings
COMC_R3_FIELDS Assignment of R/3 material master fields to
CFOP
COMM_CATEGORY Category
COMM_CFGMAT Basic Data for Materials
COMM_HIERARCHY Category Hierarchy
COMP_TYPES Hierarchy Tool: Comparison Type Check
Table
CRMC_CPRICPROC Customer Pricing Procedures
SMOKVBEZ15 Assignment employees to positions
All transactions are uniquely identified by their guids internally
Transaction numbers are not unique
System calls a function module GUID_CREATE to create a unique GUID everytime you create a transaction.
Whenever you are creating some transaction programatically you will have to first create a unique GUID for the transaction by calling GUID_CREATE.
Look at What is GUID in CRM & its significance please? maybe it helps

What is the use of CM relevance field in DMS ?

Hi DMS gurus,
What is the use CM relevance field in DMS ?
Is there any specific scenario ?
Regards,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
Usually CM (Configuration Management) is used when lifecycle phases come into picture as in lifecycle phases each phase has its own configuration which has to be maintained.
During their life, products and projects go through various life-cycle phases such as engineering and design, sales, production, and maintenance. In each life-cycle phase, a product has different configurations. A configuration is made up of multiple different objects that describe the product in the relevant life-cycle phase. For example, these can be documents, materials, BOMs or other objects. The grouping of objects changes over the course of time and is different from life-cycle phase to life-cycle phase.
Configuration Managment can be very much used when we make use of ECR/ECM (engineering change request/engineering change order) linked with DMS.
Thank You,
Manoj

What is the use of various text objects in text determination

Dear All,
What is the use of various text objects in text determination.e.g the sale document header object(In this what we define and where that text is copied further) and
other text objects i.e customer/accounting,billing header etc.
Regards,
Ashima

Hi,
To exchange information between the User and the System as well as between the objects (Ex: Customer to Sales document, Sales document to Delivery Document) SAP uses Text Determination to determine or to propose Text. Text can be determined for objects like customer master, all documents, condition records, customer material info records, etc...
hope it helps..
