New rule for business area determination
Description
As of Release 3.0E, the division of the sales document item can be taken
into account in addition to the division of the sales document when
determining the business area using the distribution channel.
The new rule '003' ('business area determination from sales
organization/distribution channel item division') has been defined for the
business area determination to account for this.
Rule '003' is used as follows:
1. Sales order
a) Delivering plant and sales organization
belong to one company code
- The rule is determined using the sales organization/distribution channel
and division of the sales document.
- The sales area is read from the sales organization/distribution channel
and item division. If this combination is defined, then the business area is
determined from this sales area. If this combination is not defined, the
business area is determined using rule '002'.
b) Delivering plant and sales organization
belong to different company codes
- The rule is determined using the sales area of the delivering plant.
- The sales area is read from the intercompany billing sales
organization/distribution channel and item division. If this combination is
defined, then the business area is determined from this sales area. If this
combination is not defined, then the business area is determined using rule
'002'.
2. Delivery/goods issue
The business area is taken from the sales
order.
3. Billing document
a) Delivering plant and sales organization
belong to one company code
- The business area is taken from the sales order.
b) Delivering plant and sales organization
belong to different company codes
- Customer billing document
-> The rule is determined using the selling
sales area.
-> The sales area is read from the selling
sales organization/distribution channel and item division. If the combination
is defined, then the business area is determined from this sales area. If this
combination is not defined, then the business area is determined using rule
'002'.
-> The rule is determined with the delivering
sales area.
-> The sales area is read from the
intercompany billing sales organization/distribution channel and item
division. If this combination is defined, then the business area is determined
from this sales area. If this combination is not allowed, then the business
area is determined using rule '002'.
