Sending Order Confirmations by EDI (SD-SLS) (SAP Library

Sending Order Confirmations by EDI (SD-SLS)

Use

By setting up and using the Electronic Data Interchange functions in the R/3 System, you eliminate the need to print documents and send them through the standard mail system. Instead, you send the information electronically. This method is more practical, convenient, and allows you and your customer to process data faster.

In this EDI scenario, you process and send order confirmations to a customer's R/3 Purchasing system.

Prerequisites
