J57 - Extended Sales Order Processing

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

Process Flow

The following functions are provided to support the J57 - Extended Sales Order Processing scenario:

  • 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 automatic generation of free items when the customer orders a certain minimum quantity.
  • Create delivery:
    A created delivery is based on the sales order with batch determination 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 case there are actual differences, they can be documented so that correct postings are ensured.
  • 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:
    By displaying the billing document it is possible to access the corresponding accounting documents as well as the profitability analysis.

Key Points

    The scenario is designed for trading and finished goods (from the company's own production).
