Materials in any material group (that have already been created), are now extended to include the sales views, this in turn will make these materials sellable within the SAP R/3 system. These material groups must have sales views created “extended” for the distribution channels (including Direct – DI and Warehouse – WH) and the storage locations within these channels.
Sales Views for Trading Goods
From SAP Easy Access: Logistics -> Sales and distribution -> Master Data -> Products -> Material -> Trading Goods -> Create
On the initial screen, select the industry sector in which your company is operating. Then from the menu bar at the top of the screen, perform the following drop down:
Defaults => Organizational levels…
Enter the following:

This process must now be repeated for the remainder of the distribution channels, WH in this example. Now from the top menu bar, perform the following drop down:

Click Enter. Now create all of the trading goods materials. In the case of the ore wagon manufacturer, the only trading good is the axle assembly which is manufactured from one axle and two wheels, all of which are raw materials. However, if there are more trading goods, the copy from function can be used from the initial screen by selecting a trading good that has already been extended. The properties from this good will be automatically copied to those of the new good being extended.
