when i create  sales order system automatically finding to choose sales area for customer 1001

please help how to control sales area for my customer only on sales order

i don't want this extra screen

You have created the customer 1001 with ref to 1001 which is already created in the list of sales ares you pasted .

I think you copied from the standard customer which means it has  account group which uses external number assignment.

So when you are creating new customer to your sales area with ref to other, system might have asked to enter external number hence you would have used 1001( for example).

This 1001 is already existing in other sales areas so once it is saved, that customer just extended to your sales area apart from already existing sales areas.

So coming into your solution if you want to display your own sales area.( if you are using standard account group make it as internal number assignment if you are testing in IDES system)

or

Better create new Z account group and use internal number assignment number range and complete remaining all required settings to create customer master . Then create new customer with that account group then definitely system shows your own  sales area.

Hi Thiru,

You will always get this screen if your customer is extended to multiple sales areas.

This might have happened because the customer is created in a common distribution channel/division.

Check here: IMG=SD=master data =define common distribution channel/define common division.

Due to this the customer is extended to multiple sales areas. If you want to check this then you may check in KNVV table.

If you do not want this screen even when the customer is extended to multiple sales areas then enter sales area details in the initial screen of VA01.

Hi,

Thirumal,

It happens when create customer by copying existing partner functions or sold to party , try with crating sales area with own, while assigning enterprise structure  please check with assignment with your sales organisation,

when you copy sales organisation with existing one by default it assign all the sales areas it is assigned 

make sure that sales area is assignment.

Regards.

Hi Thirumal,

Is the customer is maintained in multiple sales area or single sales area.

Hi

Check the configuration If you are using Common distribution channel and common division.

Also check if all the partner functions are extended in same sales area.

[pandurangan_thirumal]

maintained only single sales area only
