For each company and sales area-dependent object (based on mapping in /PACG/ECM_EOAS - Object Assignment), define sales areas allowing for transfer to a given company. In other words, this transaction defines sales areas that objects of a given type have to be created in to be sent to a given company.
Only one entry can be set as default for a given object in one company. E.g. if there are two entries for object CUSTOMER in company 1, only one should be set as default. If one entry is already set as default and the user sets another entry for the same object in the same company as default, after clicking the ‘save’ button only the second entry will remain default (radio button behavior). If one entry is already set as default and the user sets another entry for the same object in the same company as default, after clicking the ‘save’ button only the second entry will remain default (radio button behavior).
In the example below, customers created in sales areas 1000-10-01, 1000-10-10 and 1000-10-20 can be transferred to company 1000 in SAP FSM. Customers belonging to other sales areas cannot be sent.
The ‘Default’ flag is relevant for objects created in FSM - it determines which sales area will be used for them in SAP ECC/S4. Only one Sales Area can be marked as default for a given object type in a given company.
If Common Distribution Channel and Common Division are used on your system, then the entry for object CUSTOMER must be the common channel and common division, regardless of any other available distribution channel and division. Otherwise transfer of customer master data will fail.
