  Key Concepts: 
  Area of responsibility (AOR) is a term used in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) to refer to the areas of the business that a user is responsible for. This includes the sales organization, distribution channel, and division. It also includes the customer master data, pricing, and credit management. 
  
  How to use it: 
  AORs are used to define the scope of a user's access to certain areas of the business. For example, a user may be given access to only certain sales organizations or distribution channels. This allows users to focus on their specific areas of responsibility without having access to other areas of the business. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up AORs, it is important to ensure that users have access only to the areas they need. This will help prevent unauthorized access and ensure that users are only able to view and edit data related to their area of responsibility.
