When i tried to create a purchase order, in shipping tab the sales area gets automatically populated. Can anyone tell me how the sales area gets determined when creating Purchase order? And can it be changed through a user-exit or any table relations or customization if any?
Hi Deepak,
In principle it is based on the Sales Area data for the delivering Plant that was defined in Customizing. Why do you want to change the sales area? It is needed to be able to create the, SD based, outbound delivery for the Purchase Order.
Please look at the following discussion for more information:

Hi Sjaak,
As suggested in the thread, the sales area is picked from IMG path - SPRO - materials management - purchasing - purchase order - set up stock transport order - define shipping data for plants.
When i checked this path for the plant, the sales area set there is different and the sales area i'm getting in PO is different. Please see attached snapshots.
SPRO Path
PO sales area
The customer in SPRO path is also different from the one i'm using to create PO. Please suggest.
Hi Guys,
Found out where its coming from. They had implemented an snote for this and maintained custom sales area. While saving the PO the sales was being changed from this snote logic.
Thanks for the response guys.
Accepting Sjaak's answer as he pointed me to the right thread where the sales area would be picked without the snote logic.

Hello Deepak,
Please check the data maintained in the table T001L, to through the SPRO path -
SPRO- IMG-Logistic Execution - Service Parts Management - Complaints & returns - Define Vendor fort Storage Location.
there are chances that your sales area might be updated from the above configuration.
Thanks,

Are you doing STO ? If so, plant would be assigned to sales area and check your configuration for Define Shipping Data for plants. If the process is not STO, you need to provide more information for better clarity.

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Its not STO, i'm creating a standard po by entering purchase org, vendor and material. When I press enter the sales area automatically populates. I need to know how this is determined.
Please tell me what kind of info do you need, because its just a Standard PO with those details.
