Common distribution channel and division is used just to avoid duplication of master records (cmr,mmr)
and the most imp thing which only few people know is if you assing your sales area to common dstbthn chanel and division you to assign all the sales document to sales area . if you dont use this common channel the system automatically uses all the doucments for the given sales area

thanks

If we set a common distribution channel for eg sales org, dis cannel division 1000,10,01 if we set 10 as the common distribution channel for 12,14 then we need not create separate master records for each distribution channel. It minimises the master record maintenence. It is applicable to access customer master, condition master & material master. It is also limited to company codes.

If we set the common division, it is applicable to access the customer master & condition master records.

This is possible in two areas of SAP, for all relevent master data and for all relevent condition data.Here you can group distribution channel and division seperately for master data(which combines customer master and material master) group condiion records or both master & group condition records.
