Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division

[Former Member]

Hi,

While assigning Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division, in SPRO we are getting two tabs for the same:

a. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.

b. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.

What is the actual use of the same.

In our case, Plant & Valuation area is same, hence we need to use the option b. There is no need to assignment using option a.

What is the significance of DIVISION here.

Pls. guide.

a. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.

This is done when valuation Area is Company Code

b. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.

This is done when Plant & Valuation Area both are Same

Check the below Link for How the Business Area will be derived..

hi

1. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.

This is done when valuation Area is Company Code

2. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.

This is done when Plant & Valuation Area both are Same

As you are using same plant & valuation area you can use option 2.

Division;

A way of grouping materials, products, or services. The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.

Thanks
