Super Distributor

[Former Member]

Hello friends !! i have a typical problem.

My client is having a singe window sales process with a "Super Distributor" having numerous distributors, all the purchase and distribution is done by the Super Distributor. My Client bills the Super Distributor and inturn the Super Distributor bills his customers.

But the rates to these customers are controlled by my Client, and the Client wants their (Super Distributor's) sales details in SAP for the month end reconciliation for the payment of commission. Please let me know if theres any such provision to have customer's customers details in SAP.

early help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

If anyone needs further clarification, please let me know by providing ur E-mail Address.

Hi Santosh,

Did you evaluate the pendulum list functionality?

Check Best Business Process:

G73 Extended Rebate Processing with Pendulum List (optional BW)

help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/G73_ExtRebProcPend_EN_DE.htm

I wrote more on this functionality in message

.

Thread was

Business Requirement is the same IMHO.

Hi Franck,

Your answer to this below forum has been very helpful for me as well. But I have some further questions. Our business requirement is to be able to distribute the "super distributor" sales to other customers using some flatfiles received from the super distributor or some market data. The problem is these postings are tracked for statistical purposes only (should not impact CO-PA postings - statistical postings on separate value fields in CO-PA are ok), should not create rebates that impact customer's AR balances, and only used for reporting. It should be distributing all components of a billing document (not only revenues)

It also looks like they are looking for a solution that should work multiple times to distribute sales keyfigures and with reversal ability if needed.

We were looking at other options (such as co-pa or BPS distribution) until we came across with Pendulum, and realized that the functionality required is similar except the final postings. Have you ever had client experience with similar requirements? Would you say it would fit the requirements?

Thanks and regards,

Lale Yakut

Hi

This can be mapped through customer hierarchy , and as you don't have any reports with the help of LIS create a self defined report

Kindly go through this link this will help you

Thanks you Mr. Srinath

I have another doubt. is there any limitation on number of such customers. because my client has around 40+ warehouses and around 1000+ distributors to each warehouse. so around 40000 customers have to be created. do u think one can keep a track(in SAP) of each distributor's price for several products? do u want any more explanation?

Thanks again.

Hi

There wont be any limitations in the number of customers . But as your client has 40+ warehouses and around 1000+ distributors to each warehouse. then maintain customers as you create centrally through XD01. But as you have more than 40 + warehouses so totally you have around 40000 customers then use MASS or LSMW to maintain the customers data as there are many customers.

Secondly , my suggestion is try to reduce the number of customers by reducing the number of warehouses
