Introduction

In SAP Fashion Management Solution (FMS); Sales area determination for Stock transport order
deliveries can be controlled via setting in the supplying site – “Valuation / Inv. Mgmnt” tab – field
“Sales Area Determination”

Let’s take an example where I want to transfer stock from DC – W107 to Store – S107. Below is
the organization structure for DC & Sites.

Org Element Supplying DC Receiving Store

Site W107 S107
Company Code X101 X111

See below how they are setup in SAP

Supplying DC - W107:
Organization / calendar tab:

Valuation / Inv. Mgmnt” tab:

Receiving Store – S107:

Organization / calendar tab:

Customer Master of the receiving site:

IMPORTANT:
If supplying site / “Valuation / Inv. Mgmnt” tab – field “Sales Area Determination” field is set as
“01 - Search using supplying site / customer (Table TVKWZ, KNVV)”; then system consider the
first valid sales area available for the receiving site customer master as well as table where you
define which distribution chains assigned to supplying site (Table TVKWZ).

At the time of creating distribution chain records for supplying DC under transaction WB01, this
table (TVKWZ) get entries.
Below is the place where they get generated. System always look at the supply site for this
table.

• Go to below mentioned menu path:

• Go to below highlighted option

To determine the correct sales area for STO, system picks the valid combination out from above
table and receiving site customer sales areas.

Scenario 1:
Let’s create a STO from DC – W107 to Store – S107 and see what sales area it determined.
Above is because I had distribution chain setup under W107 called X101 / 60 as well as
receiving site / customer master first sales area was X101/60/30

Scenario 2:

Now let’s extend the receiving site customer master to another sales area under supply DC /
sales org. Once I extend my receiving site S107 to another sales area (X101/10/30)
Once extended, I see it as shown below.
As you see above, this is now the first valid sales area available under receiving site customer
master.
I also had distribution chain created for W107 as X101/10.

Now let’s create another STO from W107 to S017 and see what sales are determines.

As you can see above, system now picks the first sales area available for the receiving site.

Scenario 3:

Let’s extend the receiving site (S107) to a new sales area called AW01 / A1 / 30 and also setup
AW01 / A1 as a distribution chain for supplying site W107. Based on how supplying site /
“Valuation / Inv. Mgmnt” tab – field “Sales Area Determination” field works when setup as “01 -
Search using supplying site / customer (Table TVKWZ, KNVV)”; now system should pick AW01 /
A1 / 30 as STO sales area.

• Receiving site customer was extension:

• Add new distribution chain entry for supplying DC – W017.

• Create a new STO:

Conclusion:
As shown above, its confirmed that system determine the sales area for STO by considering the
distribution chains setup for supplying DC as well as first record out of receiving site customer
master sales areas.
If you mark the first sales area of the receiving site with the deletion flag, system consider the
second record as the valid record for sales area determination together with the supplying site
Distribution chain.

Determine a different sales area for STO using user exit

SAP suggest to use the enhancement V02V0001 - Sales area determination for stock transport
order (Tx: SMOD) for this purpose.
