| segmentation structure (LO-SGT) |
A well-defined sequence of segmentation characteristics that can be used to define segmentation strategies.
Segmentation structures are defined using characteristics that manifest themselves as requirement fields and stock fields in the structure. The characteristics have relevance on both the stock side and the requirement side.
A segmentation structure uses the characteristics "quality level" (Q1, Q2, Q3) and "country of origin" (India, Germany, USA). The combination, for example, "Q1 India" helps identify the relevance for a sales order.
