You can use this menu item to define distribution channels which have common master data. The allocation is valid within a sales organization.
You can, for example, create customer master data for distribution channel "01" and define it so that it is valid for distribution channels "02" and "03".
The master data shared by several distribution channels applies to conditions and customer and material master data.
This helps you minimize the cost of creating and maintaining the master data.
You can also update statistics for each distribution channel and division without creating the master data for the different sub-areas of the organization.
Define the distribution channel from which master data is to be copied into other distribution channels.
