Element of SD Org Structure

  • Sales Organization

Definitions

Sales Organization

A sales organization is the top most entity in SD. It could be defined based on geography or some other sales conditions to observe sales statistic. All sales document are created for a sales organization only.
To define a sales organization go to SPRO >> IMG >> Enterprise Structure >> Definition >> Sales and Distribution >> Define, copy, delete, check sales organization.
You will come to the screen shown below. Select 'Define Sales Organization' and then click on 'Choose'.

On the next screen you can see all existing sales organisations, if any and you can view the details or change it.
Select 'New Entries' to define a new sales oranisation.
Enter the details for Sales Organization.

Address text name/Letter header text/Footer lines text/Greeting text name/Text SDS sender: The values mentioned in these i/o boxes are atandard texts which we maintain using transaction SE78. This could be used as the default address header/footer texts in smartforms/sap scripts for this sales org.
RefSorg.SalesDocType: Sales org will use sales document types defined for sales org mentioned here. For example if we are defining sales org 0001 and in  this i/o box we put 0002 then sales org 0001 will use documnet types defined for sales 0rg 0002 only.
