• Key Concepts: 
  Differently maintained area of validity is a feature of the IS-R SAP for Retail component. It allows users to maintain different areas of validity for different documents, such as sales orders, delivery notes, and invoices. This feature allows users to define different areas of validity for each document type, which can be used to control the flow of data between documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the differently maintained area of validity feature, users must first define the areas of validity for each document type. This can be done in the Customizing settings for the IS-R SAP for Retail component. Once the areas of validity have been defined, users can then assign them to each document type. This will ensure that data is only transferred between documents that have the same area of validity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining areas of validity, it is important to consider how they will be used in practice. For example, if a user wants to restrict data transfer between documents based on a certain criteria, they should ensure that the criteria is included in the area of validity definition.
