This scenario highlights a common business setup: Category Management. A large retailer (e.g., "SuperStore") is a single Customer Account, but the manufacturer has different sales reps (KAMs) for different business units—one KAM handles "Frozen Foods" and another handles "Dairy."

To support this in Consumer Goods Cloud TPM without duplicating the Customer Account (which would break master data integrity), you utilizeUser Settings.

TheUser Settingsin TPM allow you to map specificProduct Categoriesto specificUsersfor specificAccounts.

For KAM A, you configure User Settings: Account = SuperStore, Product Category = Frozen Foods.

For KAM B, you configure User Settings: Account = SuperStore, Product Category = Dairy.

When KAM A opens the promotion calendar or P&L for "SuperStore," the system filters the product list. They will only see and be able to add "Frozen Foods" to their promotions. They cannot unintentionally plan a "Dairy" promotion because those products are effectively invisible or locked to them in the planning context. This feature (Option C) perfectly isolates responsibilities while maintaining a single "SuperStore" account record, avoiding the complex data duplication suggested in Option A (creating different Sales Orgs/Divisions).
