Define, copy, delete, check sales organization

In this step, you define the organizations in your company. In order to bring the functional scope of a sales organization in line with your organization, you should edit the following check list:

• Legally, a sales organization is included in exactly one company code.

• You can assign one or more plants to one sales organization.

• The sales organization has an address.

• Within a sales organization, you can define your own master data. This allows a sales organization to have its own customer and material master data as well as its own conditions and pricing.

• You can define your own sales document types within a sales organization.

• You assign sales offices and your own employees to a sales organization.

• All items in a sales & distribution document, that is, all items of an order, delivery or a billing document belong to a sales organization.

• A sales organization is the highest summation level (after the organizational unit Client) for sales statistics with their own statistics currency.

• The sales organization is used as a selection criterion for the lists of sales documents and for the delivery and billing due list.

• For each sales organization, you can determine the printer for output differently based on sales and billing documents.

A sales organization cannot share any master data with other sales organizations. The master data must be created separately. The data for a distribution channel or a division can, however, be created for several distribution channels or divisions.

Note

If you do not distinguish different sales organizations in your company, use sales organization "0001" as a "general sales organization". Specify the value in the user master record as a parameter. The user then will not have to make further entries.

Actions

To define a sales organization, enter a four-character alphanumeric key and a description. Enter an address as well.
