Capturing Secondary / Distributor Sales

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any option in Standard SAP or a work around we could use to capture Secondary / Distributor Sales for reporting only ?

Thanks!

I think you have to rephrase your question. If the requirement is your client sells to a distributor and you want to capture the sales to end customer by the distributor. If this is what your requirement, no it is not possible to capture in SAP.

Hi... G. Lakshmipathi

Thanks!

Is there any work around we could use ? Just want to capture sales quantity and value for reporting purpose, no posting required in SAP?

You will have to create Z-programs for the same.

These programs will store the figures in particular Tables & then you can use these figures for reporting purposes.

Consult you ABAPer for this, he will do the needful.

But the success of this will depend on accurate recording (input) of Figures in SAP.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Hi Jignesh Mehta,

Thanks, I had planned to do this as last resort but was looking if there was any work around within SD.

Hi Imran,

You can configure Distributors as sales office/sales groups and then assign sales office/sales group to each customers.

So you can get the hierarchy of secondary sales for reporting purpose.

Hi Nimit Raiya,

This we have already done and is to drill down primary sales.

By Secondary Sales I mean, we sell products to a customer (A) (Primary Sale) and how much of our product is sold on a monthly basis to consumers (B) by our customer (A), this is secondary sales.

Hi Imran

I understand what do u mean by secondary sales but in order to track the secondary sales you need to bind somewhere that Customer A sells to Customer B. I mean it should be fixed that this customer purchases from that customer always. So for that binding i suggested u via sales office or sales group but if you have already used it for some other purpose then the only option left is Ztable and further Zreports.
