ERP Sales Document
Sales-related business transactions are recorded in the system as sales documents. The transactions are grouped into four categories:
Pre-sales documents: inquiries and quotations
Sales orders
Outline agreements, such as contracts and scheduling agreements
Customer problems and complaints, leading to free-of-charge deliveries and credit memo requests
The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of interrelated documents. For example:
You may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system.
The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry.
The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation etc.
All the entity set and the corresponding collection are available when the Metadata link for a Customer is executed. In the Metadata document, if an entity set and the corresponding collection is annotated with sap:creatable="false” or sap:updatable="false” or sap:deletable="false", it indicates that the new entries cannot be created and the existing entries cannot be updated or deleted. For an entity if a property is annotated with Nullable=false, then it indicates that the corresponding property cannot be empty.
All the required configurations should be completed in the SAP Gateway system to access this service. See Configurations for ERP Sales Documents on the SAP Gateway for more information.
