Use

In this IMG activity, you make the system settings that determine the permitted or relevant countries for maintaining customers in the Sales Order application of the SAP Retail Store. The countries entered here are displayed in a dropdown list in the maintenance dialog for customer master data when the input help for the Country field is called.

In the first substep, you create grouping schemas that group certain countries. You can also determine for each country (represented by a country key) whether it is possible to enter a region. In the second substep, you assign the defined grouping schemas to the plants in your company so that the groupings take effect when you use the application in the plant concerned.

To simplify the assignment to plants, one grouping schema is defined as the standard, which is then called automatically for any plants that have not been assigned a grouping schema.

Requirements

The country keys must already have been created in the system.

Activities

Proceed as follows in this step:

  1. Define one or more grouping schema(s) depending on whether the requirements of the business process are the same or different in your plants.

    Assign the required country keys to each grouping schema. Using an indicator, you can define whether it is also possible to enter a region for each country key .

  2. Flag a grouping schema as standard on the overview screen of the grouping schemas.

    You must set this flag even if you only use one grouping schema.

  3. Assign the grouping schemas to your plants.

    You do not need to make an entry for plants that are to use the standard grouping schema.
