SAP Online Training: Sale Area
A sales area in SAP SD module is a combination of the sales organization, distribution channel, and division. It defines the distribution channel a sales organization uses to sell products from a certain division.
Each sales and distribution document is assigned to exactly one sales area in the SAP system. This assignment cannot be changed.
A sales area can belong to only one company code in the SAP system. This relationship is created by assigning the sales organization.
During the processing of sales and distribution documents, the SAP system accesses various master data, according to the sales area. This master data includes, for example, customer master data, material master data, prices, and discounts. In addition, the SAP system carries out several checks concerning the validity of certain entries according to the sales area.
Remark:
A simple organizational structure can be better than a complex one. For example, it simplifies updating master data. Do not define complex organizational structures in order to have detailed reporting options. Use fields on the master data screen.
