Hi Siva,
I was unable to get this exercise done because I did not attend Friday class due to planned travelling and I am still waiting for the recording of the class since you previously agreed to send it to me over the weekend.
However, the weekend is almost over, but I did not receive any response from you yet for my e-mails and voice messages that are asking to e-mail me the recording of the calss. In case I will not get the material soon I will not be able to continue with the classes since I missed the beginning of this very important new subject.
Thanks
Hi Ilana
apologize for the delay. I have sent you the recorded class in an email just now. Also, the hands-on and demo is still pending – So, you just missed the theory ( which is included in the recording ). Please go through it today and ciao in the class tonight. Once again, sorry for the delay in sending you the recording.
Thanks
Siva

Deleted this entry and created an entry for company code 1000 and plant ZMNJ
Assign Sales Org to company code
My sales org WMD1 was already assigned to company code 9090, I think its because I copied Sales Org from 0001 which is assigned to 9090
Deleting this entry and creating new entry for Sales Org WMD1 and CoCd 1000
There was no delete option so changed company code to 1000
Assign Distribution Channel to Sales Org

Set up Sales Area
Again the sales area was existing for my elements
Assign Sales office to Sales Area

Since this assignment does not exist I tried to create a new one
And I am getting an error
It won’t let me edit the text in warehouse no description
To get around it I copied Central warehouse and changed Plant and Sloc on it

More quiz questions
Can you assign multiple company codes to a Sales Organization ? If not why ?
NO, A sales org is hirarchically under a company code. Company code represents an independent legal and financial enitity and a Sorg is with in a Comp Code.
Can you assign multiple Sales Organizations to a company code ? If yes, give a business scenario.
Yes. A company code can span a wide area – like a country with multiple Sorgs -
East,West(region based), IBM, Federal etx(large accounts based) or
a region with multiple countries – US, EMEA (Europe.Middle East, AFRICA), APAC (Asia,Pacific) etc. with SOrgs for each of the sub-regions mentioned.
Can you assign multiple distribution channels to a Sales Organization ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require such an assignment.
YES. Typical distrib channels are Retail, Wholesale, Govt, Ecom, IntraCompany, etc.
All of these channels are associated with Sales Orgs which are in turn defined most commonly by regions.
Can you assign multiple divisions to a sales organization ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require such an assignment.
YES. Divisions in SAP are defined by products that they are associated with or
the products define deivisions. A sales org defined by regions most commonly is
associated with all products in that region and hence all divisions.
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 ? )
YES,Since Sales org is associated with multiple dist channels and divsions, a
all combinations of Sales org/Dis ch/div can bes etup based on requirements in that
Sorg.
Can you assign a single sales office to multiple sales areas ? If yes, why would you want to do that ?
YES. It is practical to associate a Sales office to a Sales org but SAP doesn’t limit.
The sales office can be associated with all Sales areas of the sales org.
Can a sales group belong to multiple sales offices ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require it
Sales groups are hirarchically under a sales office. SAP doesn’t seem to prevent
same Sales grp being associated with different sales offices. A scenario is that
a sales group has different responsibilities under different Sales Offices that are
virtual like in Atlanta, there could be two Sales Offices under the same roof working
on IBM account and South East region and the sales group works in both Offices.
Seems like a stretch!!
Can the same shipping point belong to multiple plants ?
Yes. Different plants can sometimes be inthe same vicinity or region and share a
shipping point.
Hi Siva,
Based in Germany ZA is a wire and cable manufacturing company, they produce different kind of cables both for general customers and for corporate clients. ZA wire and cables have different product range like general wiring, telephone cables, power cables, auto cables etc.
In March 2011 they have started business in US and set a new legal entity ZAUS, the nature of work of ZAUS is little bit different than ZACO. In US so many cable manufacturing companies are operating and there is so much demand of quality raw material for cable manufacturing, ZA cables find US market ideal for providing raw material, they are focusing just corporate clients in US and instead of manufacturing cables they are manufacturing raw material ie PVC compound and copper road for cable manufacturing companies.

2, TC(telephone cables)

Hi Siva,
Trying to create an Material Master for a material m-100. Enterprise structure is in place. checked and rechecked
related elements of ENTERPRISE are. ie.
S Org…ZES1
Distribution Channel: ZE
Plant: ZES1,ZES2
Company Code: ZES2
Everything has been assigned to each other and verified.
But when creating material master, after selecting the views ( Basic 1 &2, Sales 1,2,3, and Accounting 1 )gets the following two error msg; One msg each for each Plant.
“Comapny Code zes1 does not exist or has not been full maintained”
” tables TCURM and T001W inconsistent, Notify your system admn. ”
I am using ..FUZESERVER…I hope you have access to check my work..
Which system are you using ?
I tried to create a test material M-100 for Plant 1200, Sales Org 1000, Distribution Channel 10 and it works.
The error message “Tables TCURM and T001W inconsistent; notify your systems administrator” is got when the assignment of Plant to company code is NOT made. Check out your entries in [OX18] or [spro->IMG->Enterprise Structure->Assignment->Logistics General->Assign Plant to Company Code] . I cannot see an entry there for the company code ZES2 you have created.
Please make the corresponding entries there and reply to this thread if you have questions.
Thanks
Siva

Excellent answers Shiv. Appreciate your enthusiasm. Very good explanation with scenarios. Shows your good understanding of the concepts discussed in the class. Keep the same pace going throughout.
Q.7 on sales office is a little tricky. – Can a sales group belong to multiple sales offices. In fact the answer to that is that sales groups CAN in fact belong to multiple Sales Offices in SAP.
The business scenario is something like this. Let’s say there is a specialty, niche product that only one sales group handles. If it does not have so much sales that the same sales group can handle all the sales in all the geographies in the US, then it makes sense to have that sales group sell from multiple sales offices .
The easiest way is to do the following. Try to test in an SAP IDES system if you can assign one sales group to multiple sales offices. – Learning by Trail and Error is the best way

Just one last finishing touch. This is actually an advanced concept – Cross functional customization.
One Sales Organization can actually be assigned to multiple company codes. But for now, since we are not discussing cross-company ( Inter Company Sales Processes ) , we can choose to ignore this temporarily.
