Definition

A customer request to the company for delivery of goods or services at a certain time. The requested materials are either identified by the material number or the Global Trade Item Numbers ( GTIN) .The request is received by a sales area, which is then responsible for fulfilling the contract.

Use

EAN.UCC/GS1 Compliance adds the following new features to the existing mySAP ERP processes:

  • In the IDocs, a material number is determined from a GTIN, and from additional information, using determination logic.

  • A simulation program enables a material number to be determined from a GTIN ,and from additional information. This material number can be manually used in standard transactions.

This enables the material-related processes to be carried out in the same way as before.

Structure

A sales order comprises one or more items that contain the quantity of a material or service specified in the order.

The total quantity of an order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various partial quantities with the relevant delivery dates.

Items can be organized hierarchically, which enables batches to be differentiated or bills of material to be exploded.

The conditions valid for the items are listed in the item conditions. The items for a condition can be derived from an overall condition that is valid for the complete order.

An item can be subdivided into several billing plan dates to determine when a specific amount of the item must be billed.

Integration

In addition to defining the customer as the sold-to party, you can specify various partner roles (such as ship-to party) for the other business partners.

The items in a sales order may have been generated as a result of the items in a customer quotation.
