Larger organisations often have a layered structure in which production takes place at multiple locations, there are multiple local sales organisations, and there can be both a direct and an indirect sales channel for each market. There are owners of product information at corporate level, market level, and for each sales channel. On market or channel level, there can be deviating products, product options, and prices.
