Segmentation is available in sales and distribution (SD). Segmentation at the item level allows you to you to sell materials with different attributes, for example, quality of the material and its country of origin. To sell materials with segmentation, you can provide data in sales documents using requirement segments and stock segments.

Prerequisites

  • segmentation structure

  • segmentation strategy

  • requirement segment for the sales document

Features

For delivery, you can carry out the following functions based on the type of delivery:

  • Outbound delivery with reference

    Requirement segment will be adopted from the preceding sales document and stock segment will be adopted from the batch.

  • Outbound delivery without reference

    You specify the requirement segment and stock segment will be adopted from the batch. There is incompletion log for this type of deliveries and this will be triggered like sales order when you save segmentation relevant article without specifying requirement segment values.

For billing, requirement segments and stock segments are adopted from preceding sales documents.
