Zilliant CPQ can retrieve product sales area data from SAP ERP as part of the product synchronization process.

In SAP ERP, sales area data defines the sales organization and distribution channel of a product. CPQ uses this data to ensure that only valid combinations of products and sales areas are available for quoting. The source of the sales area data is SAP’s MVKE table.

In this topic, learn how to:

  1. Access product sales area data in SAP ERP.

  2. Enable sales area data sync.

  3. Synchronize sales area data.
