J57 - Extended Sales Order Processing

Purpose

This scenario describes the entire process chain for a standard sales process with a customer. The business process encompasses all steps from creating an order to the billing procedure.

Process Flow

The following functions are provided to support the Extended Sales Order Processing building block:

  • Create sales order:
    The process starts with the creation of a customer's standard sales order. Depending on the customer and the material, various special events are set up for the order entry, such as a material substitution or the automatic generation of free good items when the customer orders a certain minimum quantity.
  • Create delivery:
    A delivery is created on the basis of the sales order and batch determination is carried out.
  • Picking:
    The physically shipped quantity has to be registered in the system to ensure that there are no differences between the sales order and the delivery document. In the case of actual differences, this can also be documented and ensures correct postings.
  • Post goods issue:
    The physically picked quantity has to be posted for goods issue
  • Create billing:
    Once the goods issue has been posted, the delivery can be invoiced. This step signifies the end of the business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Appropriate accounting and controlling documents are generated.
  • Display billing documents:
    You can branch from the billing document display to the corresponding accounting documents as well as to the profitability analysis.

Key Points

  • Availability checks as well as batch determination procedures are included.
    The scenario is designed for trading goods as well as for finished goods (from the company's own production).
