• Key Concepts: 
  Division is a term used in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) component. It is a way of organizing sales activities and data into distinct groups. A division can be used to represent different business units, product lines, or geographical areas. Each division has its own set of master data, such as customer and material master records, and its own set of sales documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Divisions are used to separate sales activities and data into distinct groups. When creating a sales document, the user must select a division to assign the document to. This will determine which master data records are used for the document. The division also determines which pricing conditions and output types are available for the document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a sales document, it is important to select the correct division. This will ensure that the correct master data records are used and that the pricing conditions and output types are correct. It is also important to remember that each division has its own set of master data records, so if you need to access a different set of records you will need to switch divisions.
