In this section you will find all process steps required to check the enterprise structure data in the sales system and delivery system, as far as they are relevant to the cross-system third-party order processing. The example data given will be used in later sections.

1. Check the company codes in the sales system and delivery system respectively. In Customizing for the Enterprise Structure, choose Definition ® Financial Accounting ® Define, copy, delete, check company code.

Example:

Company code in the delivery system: 0002 in country FR with currency EUR

2. Check the plants in the sales system and delivery system respectively. In Customizing for the Enterprise Structure, choose Definition ® Logistics – General ® Define, copy, delete, check plant. There must be at least one plant in the sales system that you use to create the sales order.

You must assign a purchasing organization to the sales organization in the sales system. This is necessary so that a purchase requisition can be created automatically (see Configuring An Automatic Purchase Requisition).

4. Check the sales areas (sales organization, distribution channel and division) in the sales system and delivery system respectively. In Customizing for the Enterprise Structure choose Assignment ® Sales and Distribution ® Set up sales area.
