Prerequisites

In the Organizational Levels dialog box, you can enter a valid combination of sales organization and distribution channel before you access the Sales screens, but you do not have to do so because not all sales data is specific to a particular combination of sales organization and distribution channel. As a result, the data displayed depends on your entries in this dialog box.

By assigning a material to different distribution channels, you can sell the same material at different prices or in different quantities. This allows, for example, the quantity you sell to retailers to differ from the quantity you sell to wholesalers.

You need consider whether to specify a plant only in the case of the Sales: General/Plant Data screen. However, you can maintain certain data such as the gross weight, net weight, and transportation group without specifying a plant.

Activities

On the Sales: Sales Organization Data screen, you can enter the sales prices of the material in Create mode or Change mode by choosing Conditions .

On the Sales: General/Plant Data screen, the unit of weight is a required field because it is copied to sales orders for the material, where it cannot be changed. Your system administrator can specify a unit of weight that is proposed by the system when creating materials from the Sales view. This unit of weight can be defined in Customizing for the Material Master by choosing   Settings for Key Fields   Define Material Groups   . If no material group is assigned to the material, or if a material group is assigned for which no unit of weight has been specified in Customizing, the SI unit (système internationale des unités) for the dimension MASS (normally kg) is proposed in the material master record.

If you have specified a plant in the Organizational Levels dialog box, you can maintain the following data on the Foreign Trade: Export Data screen:

  • Customs tariff preferences

    By choosing this function, you access a dialog box in which you can enter preference data for each customs area assigned to the country of the plant. On the Foreign Trade: Export Data screen, the system merely displays whether the preference status and vendor declaration status are OK or not.

    The preference status is not OK if a negative preference indicator (A, D, or E) is assigned to at least one customs area.

    The vendor declaration status is not OK if a negative vendor declaration indicator (A or D) is assigned to at least one customs area.

    Note Note

    If you want to copy the data in the Customs Tariff Preference dialog box from the reference material, the Propose field cont. indicator must be set for field RM03M‑DMAPE in Customizing for the Material Master by choosing   Field Selection   Assign Fields to Field Selection Groups   . It is set already in the standard system.

    End of the note.
  • Legal control

    By choosing this function, you access a dialog box in which, for each material classification, you can assign a grouping in accordance with the legal regulation of the country of the plant.

    Note Note

    If you want to copy the data in the Legal Control dialog box from the reference material, the Propose field cont. indicator must be set for field RM03M‑DMAEX in Customizing for the Material Master by choosing   Field Selection   Assign Fields to Field Selection Groups   . It is set already in the standard system.

    End of the note.
