We must set the enterprise structure correctly in the first place. The change
of it usually requires a great effort and very time consuming. To set it up
correctly we must have a comprehensive knowledge about the business
processes and how to map it to SAP configuration.

Concepts
Every organization’s Sales is structured in a certain way. This structure
needs to be represented in SAP based on pre-defined organizational
elements and combine them in a pre-defined way. This method of
representing all the different organizational elements of the company in a
structured way is called Enterprise Structure. Organizational elements or
Org Units for short are a system representation of an actual company
organizational unit. For example, an org unit in real life could be a particular
product division , or a Sales Office in Seattle, or a manufacturing plant in
Boston or a warehouse in Alabama. The following picture shows how an
enterprise structure is created in SAP.
Instead of discussing the text book definitions of these organizational units,
let’s take a company in real life and discuss the same. However, please do
note the cardinality. For example, a company can be linked to multiple
company codes as shown in the beginning of the picture above. Let’s take
the example of General Electric Healthcare ( or GE Medicals ) and discuss
the enterprise structure in detail. We have taken GE just as an example,
and this enterprise structure in no way represents GE’s internal structure.
In fact, GE Healthcare does not even use SAP as its ERP.
Configuration
The configuration for the enterprise structure is very simple. The Menu path
is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Enterprise Structure ]
Definition:
The first step before doing the configuration is to assess the requirement as
to how the company is organized and how best it can be represented in
SAP. Each company is run in a different way. Since SAP’s enterprise
structure is rigid, you might have to try different things to fit their
organization’s model into SAP’s org structure. After you have fully
understood the organizational units in the company, start by defining those
in SAP. The following picture shows the path of the enterprise structure
definition in IMG. While the Company and company codes are defined by
FICO consultants, the ones highlighted in red below are absolutely
necessary for the functioning of the SAP Sales & Distribution Module.
Click on Define, copy, delete, check Sales Organization under the Sales
and Distribution section. Choose the option highlighted below.
Enter the copy button and choose the ―From‖ and ―To‖ sales organizations.
Enter 0001 as the source and target for example is WEST. Thats it and you
are done.
Organizational units can be defined in a similar way for the rest of them.
Assignment :
After defining the org elements, we have to assign them to each other to
make a meaningful representation of the company’s organizational units.
The menu path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment ].
Let’s set up a sales area by assigning a distribution channel and division to
the sales organization, just as an example. Select ―Set up Sales Area‖.
However, if you are trying to create a sales area with the combination of
WEST sales organization that you just created along with a distribution
channel of 01 and a division of 01, you will see an error as shown below.
The reason being that when WEST sales organization was copied with
reference to the sales organization 0001, the assignments were also
copied. This is just one of the default assignment – there are many more.
So to be on the safer side, its better to copy it and delete all the necessary
assignments rather that start from scratch. Otherwise, this is how
assignments are created. Assignments can be made similarly based on our
first illustration to all other organizational units based on your requirements.

Define the plant New Jersey or Arkansas.
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition ->

Assignment
Plant to Company Code
Assign the Plant you have created to the company code 1000.
Since a plant can only be assigned to 1 company code, you cannot assign
the plant to a company code of your choice. In this case, delete this
assignment and create another.
When you delete an existing assignment, you get the following error
message. You can choose “YES”
And then , as usual, create a new entry to assign the newly created plant to
the company code of your choice.
Sales Organization to Company Code
Assign the Sales Organization to the company code 1000
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales
& Distribution -> Assign Sales Organization to Company code]
Distribution Channel to Sales organization
Assign the distribution channel you have created to the sales organization
you have created in the definition step.
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales
& Distribution -> Assign Distribution Channel to Sales Organization]
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales
& Distribution -> Assign Division to Sales Organization]
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales
& Distribution -> Set up Sales Area]
Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales
& Distribution-> Assign Sales Organization - distribution Channel - Plant]

A. Can you assign multiple company codes to a Sales Organization ? If not
why ?
No, this is not possible. You can have multiple Sales orgs assigned to a
Company Code but not visa versa.
E. Can you set up multiple Sales Areas using the same Sales Organization
? ( For example, can you set up 1000/01/01 and also 1000/10/01 ? )
This is not possible, one sales org can belong to one sales area.
F. Can you assign a single sales office to multiple sales areas ? If yes, why
would you want to do that ?
Siva, can you explain me this scenario.

SD Configuration
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution
Channels
Transaction Code: VOR1
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division
Transaction Code: VOR2
Pricing Procedure
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization +
Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing
Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing
Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is
determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing
procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records
are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will
through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a
new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic
Function -> Pricing Control -> Condition Table (select the required fields combination,
which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not
create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic
Function -> Pricing Control -> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of
Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign
the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a
new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic
Function -> Pricing Control -> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an
existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access
sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the
neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition
type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering
the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as
follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Pricing
Procedure –> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be
determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in
SPRO is as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control ->
Pricing Procedure –> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be
maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new
implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW,
etc.
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business
transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order
type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard
sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with
discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions:
Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order
Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per
sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required
to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item
category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item
Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if
required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving
Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to
create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for
Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to
create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls
such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
