Sales-Oriented Business Process 

Use

You use the sales-oriented business process to provide presellers with the collected documents they require for their tour.

Presellers require only a visit list for their tours. The visit list specifies which customers are assigned to the tour. The preseller visits the customers with the aim of generating new orders or winning new customers. Since presellers by definition do not make deliveries, they do not have shipments.

The system controls the download of the visit lists using the message control for the VL (visit list) application.

Prerequisites

·        The sales-oriented business process is set up in Customizing for the visit plan.

·        Output control (message control) is set up appropriately for the visit lists.

Process Flow

In the sales-oriented business process, the visit list is the control document (relevant document):

...

       1.      The time of the download depends on the date on which the visit list is carried out.

So that the driver always has access to current data, you should not perform the download until just before the start of the tour.

 

       2.      The system only transfers (download) the visit list and any reference documents that have already been assigned (orders, for example) to the IDoc or print output.
