Figure 3: Delivery Structure of IDES AG Note: This illustration shows the delivery structure within IDES AG, independently from the system (using general business terms). Before IDES AG confirms an order for a customer, they check from which warehouse distribution center the material ordered is to be delivered and whether sufficient stock is available. The goods delivery is usually organized at these locations. These facilities are not available at every location where products are manufactured. To fulfill urgent customer requests, the warehouse distribution center in Hamburg can arrange express deliveries.

Lesson: Sales and Distribution Structures in SAP ERP
SAP ERP uses a range of organizational units designed exclusively for mapping sales and distribution processes, such as the sales organization and distribution channel. Other organizational units, such as the company code or plant, are required in Sales and Distribution and other system areas.
The organizational units outlined here are just some of the ones relevant to sales and distribution processes in the system.

This includes the entry of all accountable transactions and the creation of all proofs for a legally required individual account closing, such as the balance sheets and the profit and loss statement. Examples of a company code include a company within a corporate group, or a subsidiary.

Figure 6: Organizational Unit: Sales Organization The sales organization is an organizational unit in Logistics which groups the enterprise according to the requirements of sales and distribution. A sales organization is responsible for sales and distribution of materials and services. Therefore, it is also liable for the sold products and responsible for the customers' rights of recourse. The sales organization is also used to take, for example, a regional, national or
international subdivision of the market into account. A sales organization is uniquely assigned to a company code. More than one sales organization can be assigned to a company code. To use the sales and distribution functions in the system, you need at least one sales organization. In the sales statistics, the sales organization is the highest summation level. All sales and distribution documents, that is, all orders, outbound deliveries, and billing documents, are assigned to a sales organization.

You can group materials and services with the division. Several divisions can be assigned to a sales organization. To use the sales and distribution functions in the system, you need at least one division. A division can represent a certain product group, for example. Therefore, you can. for example, restrict price agreements with a customer to a certain division. In addition, you can conduct statistical analysis by division.
Sales
organization Distribution

Sales areas
Figure 9: Sales Area
A sales area is a combination of the sales organization, distribution channel, and division. It defines the distribution channel a sales organization uses to sell products from a certain division. Each sales and distribution document is assigned to exactly one sales area. This assignment cannot be changed. A sales area can belong to only one company code. This relationship is created by assigning the sales organization. When processing sales and distribution documents, the system accesses various master data depending on the sales area. This master data includes, for example, customer master data, material master data, prices, and discounts. The system also carries out a number of checks concerning the validity of certain entries according to the sales area.
Hint: A simple organizational structure often has more advantages than a complex structure. It simplifies the master data maintenance, for example. You should not define complex organizational structures in order to have detailed reporting options. You are advised to use the fields in the master data screen and documents for this purpose.

The pla~tis a location where material stock is kept and could, for example, represent a production facility in the system. The plant and storage location are organizational units that can be used by all logistic areas of the system. Materials management is primarily concerned with the material flow. From a materials management point of view, a plant is, above all, a location where material stock is kept. In production, a plant can represent a manufacturing facility. In sales and distribution, a plant represents the location from which materials are distributed and services are provided and corresponds to a distribution C."Jl~r. The relevant stocks are kept here. The plant has a central function in sales and distribution: To use the sales and distribution functions in the system, you need at least one plant. Each plant is uniquely assigned to a company code. ~~

A plant can be assigned to several combinations of sales organizations/distribution channels, and vice versa.
The plant is essential for determining the shipping point.

Shipping is an integrated module of sales and distribution processing. The shipping point is the highest-level organizational unit of shipping that controls your shipping activities. Each outbound delivery is processed by exactly one shipping point. The shipping point can be a loading ramp, a mail depot, or a rail depot. It can also be, for example, a group of employees responsible (only) for organizing very urgent deliveries. The organizational assignment of the shipping point is carried out at plant level.

Appropriate divisions were set up to represent the different product lines. In this course, the sales areas that contain the following divisions are used: 00 Cross-division 02 Motorcycles 08 Services Sales areas were set up based on these sales organizations, distribution channels, and divisions. However, only these combinations were considered in which sales
and distributions processes had to be represented. This includes: Sales organization 1000, distribution channel 12, division 00 Sales organization 1000, distribution channel 12, division 02 Sales organization 1000, distribution channel I 4, division 08

11 Information about delivery dates
and delivery quantities 11 Information about shipping processing 11 Information about
billing
Figure 16: Sales Order Processing A sales order is an electronic document that captures and records your customer's request for goods or services.
The sales order contains all pet1inent information to process the customer's request throughout the whole process cycle. The sales component thus automatically suggests data from master records and control tables that you previously put aside. As a result, possible input errors occurring during sales order processing and entering of redundant data is avoided. You can enter a sales order with many items in a single screen.

Figure 18: Shipping
Shipping processing in Sales and Distribution begins when you create the delivery document. The delivery document controls, supports and monitors numerous subprocesses for shipping processing, such as: (Optional) picking and confirming (transfer orders) (Optional) packing (Optional) planning and monitoring of transport (shipment document) Posting the goods issue (goods issue documents) Creating a delivery document includes copying information from the sales order, such as the materials and quantities. onto the delivery document. Creating a transfer order includes copying data from the delivery document to the transfer order for processing within the warehouse. The transfer order is essential for controlling the movement of goods within your warehouse. The transfer order is based on a simple principle: where you are taking goods from and to, within your warehouse.
The posting of the goods issue can bring about a change based on a quantity basis as well as on a value basis in stock. Value-based changes are made to the relevant balance sheet accounts in financial accounting.

This slide represents the link between the subprocesses in Sales Order Processing within the system. The structure of the blocks from top to bottom represents the normal sequence of events in the sales and distribution process. The boxes within the various blocks represent sales and financial accounting documents.
Contacts and actions are documents for sales support within presales. Sales documents are documents that are entered during presales and order processing. Inquiries, quotations, contracts, scheduling agreements and standard orders are examples of sales document types. Outbound deliveries, transfer requests and shipments are documents within shipping processing. The goods issue document contains changes involving stock and is the basis for the relevant accounting documents. The billing document is a document in the Billing area and is the basis for the relevant accounting documents.
The left and right sections of this slide represent key interfaces between Sales and Distribution and the Sales Information System, Materials Management, and Production Planning.

Figure 23: Sales Document Structure
A sales document is divided into three levels: header, item, and schedule line. The data is distributed across these levels as follows: Sales document header The data for the document header is valid for the entire document. This includes, for example, customer-related data. Items of the sales document Each item in the sales document contains its own data. This includes, for example, data about materials and quantities ordered. Each sales document can contain several items whereas the individual items can be controlled differently. Examples include material item, service item, free-of-charge item or text item. Schedule lines of document items Schedule lines contain delivery quantities and delivery dates. They clearly belong to an item. Every item that is to include an outbound delivery in the further sales and distribution process must possess at least a schedule line. The item can have several schedule lines, for example when the quantity ordered is to be delivered in several partial deliveries at different times. To ensure that sales documents are processed efficiently, the data from the sales document can be read and processed in different views. Th

You can create one or more outbound deliveries from the order. You can also combine items from more than one order in an outbound delivery. To combine
them successfully, the orders must correspond with the characteristics that are essential for the shipping process, for example: Shipping point Due date Ship-to address The system can create deliveries either on-line or as a background job to be executed during off-peak hours.
Figure 25: Structure of Delivery Document
A delivery document is grouped into two levels: header and item. The data is distributed across these levels as follows: Delivery document header The data for the document header is valid for the entire document. This includes, for example, data for the ship-to party and deadlines for shipping processing. Delivery document item Each item in the delivery document contains its own data. This includes, for example, data about the material, quantities, weights, and stock information. Each delivery document can contain several items whereas the individual items can be controlled differently. Examples include material items, free-of-charge items, or text items.

Lesson: Shipping Processing
Unlike sales documents, delivery documents do not contain schedule lines. Each schedule line in the sales document can become an item in the delivery document. To ensure that the delivery documents are processed efficiently, the data can be read and processed in different views. The views are grouped into overview, header and item screens.
Warehouse number?
--r-. Figure 26: Picking
You create a transfer order for an outbound delivery. A transfer order is generated for a warehouse number. During this process, only the deliveries that are necessary for picking are taken into account. The system copies the relevant data from the delivery. The system can combine more than one outbound delivery in a group of transfer orders provided that the same warehouse number is used. Selection of outbound deliveries can be further restricted via the picking date and the choice of certain shipping points, for example. To optimize picking, you can create picking lists that contain materials from multiple outbound deliveries. To relieve the work for the picker, you can sort the list according to storage bin and material and also calculate the quantities per material. The system can create transfer orders either on-line or as a background job to be executed during off-peak hours.

Figure 30: Effects of Billing Document
When you save the billing document, the system automatically generates all the required documents for accounting. The system carries out a debit posting in accounting on the customer receivables account and a credit posting on the revenue account.
The accounting document identifies all the subsequent postings in financial accounting that refer back to pricing in SD, such as the receivable on customer accounts or the obtained net sales and taxes on the relevant G/L accounts. When you save the billing document, the system can automatically generate further documents for Financial Accounting (for the Controlling components as well as for profitability analysis, for example). The following also occurs when the billing document is posted: The status in all related sales, delivery, and billing documents is updated The sales statistics in the sales information system are updated The data regarding the consumption of the customer's credit limit is updated

This enables you to access the history and current status of your sales and distribution processes at any time. You can display the document now as a list with the linked documents. Depending on the document from which you call up the list, all the relevant preceding and subsequent documents are displayed. From this list, you can display the relevant documents or call up status overviews for the documents. This provides a quick overview of the progress of your sales processes at any time and can be used to answer customer questions quickly and reliably.

Exercise 2: Sales and Distribution Process Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise. you will be able to: Create a simple sales order Create an outbound delivery for a sales order Execute picking and post the goods issue to an outbound delivery Create a billing document for outbound delivery Enter an incoming payment for the customer
Business Example As a rule, the sales process begins with the customer ordering materials from you and telling you his requested delivery date. Using this information, you can enter a sales order. You then trigger the shipping activities at the appropriate time so that the customer receives the material in time. To be able to pick the material in stock, you generate a picking list. As soon as the material has left the company, you post the goods issue in order to update stocks and values. You then create a billing document and send the customer the invoice. As soon as the customer has paid for the materials, the incoming payments are posted in Financial Accounting.

If such changes are required, you have to perform them in the documents manually after changing the master data. However, the address of the customer is an exception and this is alwa\·s kept current in each document. ~

Exercise 4: Material Master and Customer-Material Info Record Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
Maintain a customer master record Maintain customer-material information Understand the effects of material master data and customer-material info on the processing of documents in sales and distribution
Business Example You have added a new material to your product rahge. You wish to post goods receipts to the stock for this material, and create sales orders. Some major customers usually order materials using their own material numbers. In order to facilitate sales order processing, you use the customer-material information.
Task 1: Create a materia] master record for the new material. I.
The new material is a headlight, similar to the existing material T-ASl""· In order to facilitate the entry of the material master record, you can use the relevant reference data. You enter the material master for plant 1000, sales organization 1000, and distribution channel 12. Use these organizational units too when referencing the reference material. Hint: Since the material is "trading goods" that are purchased by the vendor and resold to the customer, use the following transaction to maintain the material master: Logistics~ Sales and Distribwion ~ Master Data _, Products _, Material -> 1/·ading Goods _, Create.
You have the following information on the new headlight: (Apart from this information, the material has the same features as the system proposed for the reference material T-AS 1##.)

Exercise 5: Additional Master Data Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Maintain condition master data Describe the pricing in a sales order
Business Example You have defined certain price agreements for some major customers. As these
customers place orders frequently, they should receive lower prices for some materials, depending on the quantity ordered. In addition, a customer should be granted a percentage discount, depending on the order value. As it is not necessary to enter these agreements each time you create an order, you want to use the automatic pricing function of the system and create the appropriate condition master data.
Task 1: Create a condition master record for prices. I.
You have agreed with customer T-SSOA## that, from now on, they are to receive material T-ASI## at a quantity-dependent lower price. As of I pieces: EUR 29 per I piece As of I 0 pieces: EUR 28 per I piece As of I 00 pieces: EUR 27 per I piece. These agreements should be valid until the end of the year. Enter the condition master record for the customer-specific price for sales organization 1000 and distribution channel 12. Hint: As it is a customer-specific price, you create the condition master record using the following menu path:

During order entry, you want to make sure that the automatic pricing function has determined the correct prices and discounts.
Hint: To track the pricing in the sales order, you have to branch to the Conditions tab page for the Item detail. Which customer discount was determined by the system?
a)
Choose Display items details . Choose the Conditions tab page. The system has determined the customer discount K007 (-1 %), because a discount of- I% is stored in the discount condition record for orders over EUR 100.
3.
Save the order and write down the order number.
a)
Choose Save. The document number is assigned internally by the system.
Task 5: Questions on condition master data in pricing. I.
Which condition master data categories (4) can be used in pricing? Answer: Prices, surcharges/discounts, freights, taxes.
2.
You want to sell your materials through multiple distribution channels. Is it possible to maintain the prices in the condition master in different ways according to the distribution channel? Answer: Yes. Usually, the price is maintained according to the sales organization and the distribution channel. The price can also be maintained according to further criteria (the customer, for example).
3.
You have entered a sales order. By doing so, prices were determined by the automatic pricing function. Can you change the prices manually when entering the order? Answer: Yes. Usually, during order entry you can overwrite the price manually. However, it is possible to restrict this by making the relevant settings in Customizing or in the condition record.

TSCM60
During sales order processing, you use various divisions. However, you always want to use the same condition master data for all divisions. In order to avoid unnecessary maintenance of condition master data for multiple divisions, you would like to configure the system in such a way that the condition master data of division 00 are also valid for divisions 01 and 02. Is this possible? Answer: Yes. In Customizing, you can set up division 00 as a representative
division and set a reference for divisions 01 and 02 to it. In this way, the condition master data of division 00 is also valid for divisions 01 and 02. 5.
Is it possible to make these settings for common master data for customer and material master data as well? Answer: For customer master data, it is possible to configure common
master data for the divisions. For material master data, this is only possible for distribution channels, as the division in the material master is not used as an organizational unit where the dependent material master data would be maintained.

Lesson: Function of the Sales Document Type Lesson Overview This lesson explains the function of sales document types in sales processes.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Trigger different sales processes by choosing suitable sales document types
Business Example IDES, Inc. uses a variety of sales document types to control sales processes.
Function of the Sales Document Type
Figure 54: Sales Document Types
In Sales, a wide range of different activities are carried out. Different business processes can be identified and controlled by means of the sales document type. The standard system features a wide range of different sales document types for sales processes that are carried out on a regular basis: Standard order for invoiced sales on fixed delivery dates. Rush order and cash sales for sales from the plant (with or without invoice). Free deliveries for sales on fixed delivery dates (without invoice). Returns for return goods (credit memo/replacement delivery). You can implement these processes as they are or use them as a basis for mapping your own processes.

'"'<> ;SYstem· Figure 55: Functions of Sales Documents
Depending on the transaction, certain functions are carried out automatically. These functions are activated or deactivated directly or indirectly through the sales document type. Examples For your normal sales process. you would like the system to automatically determine the time your customer receives the ordered goods. To do so, activate the shipment scheduling and availability check functions. However, these functoons are not necessary for credit memo requests. Pricing does not need to be carried out for free deliveries. Define an output group that can be used for processing sales orders and then create another output group for processing contracts.
Hint: Outputs contain information that is exchanged between business partners (order confirmations, billing forms, electronic message to one of your colleagues, for example).

Lesson: Plant, Shipping Point, and Route Determination Lesson Overview This lesson explains how to carry out plant, shipping point, and route determination in sales documents.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Explain how the delivering plant, shipping point and route are determined automatically
Business Example The content of the Plant, Shipping Point, and Route fields in a sales document can be determined automatically and acts as a basis for delivery scheduling.
Plant Determination
Figure 56: Determining the Delivering Plant Automatically
The plant plays a central role in Logistics. In Sales, it is the delivering plant. When processing an item, the system automatically attempts to determine the associated delivering plant from the master data. The entry can later be changed manually.

The system uses the following search strategy: First, it checks whether a specification exists in a customer-material info
record. Second, it checks whether a specification exists in a customer master record of the ship-to party. Third, it checks whether a specification exists in the material master record. If nothing is found, no delivering plant is set in the sales document item. Without a plant, an item cannot normally be processed further. For example, attempts to automatically determine the shipping point or tax are unsuccessful, the availability cannot be checked, and an outbound delivery cannot be made.

Figure 57: Shipping Point
The shipping point is the organizational unit in the system that is responsible for processing shipping. To be able to give the customer a delivery date for an ordered item, the system must take into account all the required lead times for the different shipping and transportation subprocesses. For the shipping point, you can define the times required for preparing and packing the goods.

Figure 58: Determining the Shipping Point Automatically
The system tries to determine a shipping point for every item to be delivered. The system uses three fields as search keys for determining the shipping point automatically. This data is normally defined in the following master records: Shipping condition from the sold-to party (view: Shipping) Loading group in the sales-specific material data (view: Sales: General/Plant Data) Delivering plant- see the slide Determining Delivering Plant Automatically Hint: The shipping conditions can be used to define in the system the delivery type requested by the customer.

Route Determination
Figure 59: Route
The route is the path an outbound delivery follows from the delivering plant to the ship-to partl:. _____________.,
It can comprise more than one section. It has a start point and an end point. The route can be used to define the actual transit time (length of time for which the goods are "on the road") and the lead time for transportation planning. The route is normally determined automatically for each item in the sales document. This default value can be later changed manually if you have planned a different route.

The following data is used in shipment scheduling: Order date: date on which the order is placed Material availability date: date by which a sufficient quantity of goods must be available for picking and packing Loading date: date on which the goods picking and packing process is completed (and the mode of transport is available) so that loading can begin on time
Goods issue date: the date on which the goods must leave the delivering plant so that they reach the customer on the agreed date Delivery date: date on which the goods arrive at the customer. A differentiation is made between: Requested delivery date: date on which the customer would like the goods to arrive Confirmed delivery date: date on which the goods receipt is confirmed for the customer

Figure 63: Backward Scheduling
The goal of shipment and transportation scheduling is to confirm a delivery date for a material requested by a customer. For backwards scheduling, the customer's requested delivery date is used to calculate the material availability date and the transportation lead time. The outbound delivery must be created at the earliest of the two dates (selection date for the outbound delivery). If both dates are after the order date and the material is available on the material availability date, the customer's requested delivery date can be confirmed. A schedule line is created for the sales document item. The date of the schedule line displays the confirmed delivery date that is the same as the customer's requested delivery date. If one of the two dates is before the order date, confirmation of the requested delivery date cannot take place. Therefore, the system attempts to determine the next possible date (forward scheduling).

sTh~duling
If the result of backward scheduling means that the delivery date required by the customer cannot be confirmed, the system executes forward scheduling. Forward scheduling takes into consideration the time parallels of the work flows for transpm1ation planning and pickinglpacking of materials. The longer of the two periods is relevant for scheduling. The selection date of the outbound delivery is the earlier of the material availability or the transportation planning date. The earliest date at which the material is available in the warehouse is the new material availability date. This is the outgoing point for new delivery scheduling. Two schedule lines are generated for the sales document item: ~
The date of the first schedule line corresponds to the customer's requested delive1y date and has no confirmed guantity.. The date of the second schedule line shows the confirmed delivery date and the confirmed quantity. ----

Exercise 6: Shipment Scheduling Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Start the different sales and distribution processes by choosing the appropriate sales document type Find important information for procurement and outbound delivery in sales documents and identify the sources of this data Provide your customers with detailed information from the sales documents, for example, on the shipping and transpmiation scheduling dates
Business Example A company has a range of sales and distribution processes, Before every sale, one of your employees decides which sales and distribution process will best serve the customer's needs.
When a customer orders a material, there are a range of decisions to be made for the whole sales and distribution processing chain, This includes obtaining relevant information on procurement and outbound delivery, such as the plant from which the goods will be delivered or the location responsible for shipping processing, In order entry, the customer service representative determines whether the agreed
delivery date can be met It is important to consider whether tl1e material is delivered from stock or whether it must be manufactured or procured from an external source.
IDES, Inc, tries 10 meet most of its sales orders using existing stock. If possible, orders are combined into one outbound delivery, If the requested delivery date cannot be confirmed, the customer is offered the first possible delivery date, As a member of the project team for sales order processing, it is your responsibility to test the sales and procurement process in the system, You will enter orders and verify the shipping point for the product, the transportation route to the customer, and the scheduling dates for the items in the sales orders,

To make shipping faster and easier, you can use the delivery due list to create more than one outbound delivery simultaneously. The system automatically combines the items in the selected sales orders to minimize the number of outbound deliveries. This function can be used as follows: Online processing of the delivery due list Creating a background job to be executed during off-peak hours The system controls the creation of outbound deliveries via the shipping point, the selection data (picking date) and other criteria grouped on various tab pages. By defining this criteria, you can control which orders due for delivery are selected. The selection options change depending on the delivery scenario and user role. You receive a list of the orders that meet your selection criteria. In this list, you can make your selection more precise using sorting and filtering. From the list, you can create outbound deliveries online or in the background and call up the documents.
Hint: In collective processing, you can use the selection date to define up to which date items due for delivery are taken into account. Shipping processing must begin on this date at the latest so that the goods reach the customer at the agreed time, which is either the material availability date or the transportation planning date.

Lesson: Collective Processing in Sales and Distribution
There are fields in master data and in the sales document where you can store customer defaults for processing deliveries. If the customer requires complete delivery, the order should be delivered in one single delivery. All items should be delivered at the same time. When creating an outbound delivery, if all of the order items cannot be shipped with the full order quantity, you receive a warning that the customer requires complete delivery. If the customer does not require complete delivety, you can define a partial delivery agreement with the customer. If the customer allows orders to be combined, orders are combined in outbound deliveries when using the delivery due Jist. Combining items from different sales orders is only possible if the items have several common characteristics, for example: Shipping point (goods issue from the same place in your enterprise) Date that delivery is due (date on which shipping processing should l:iegin, either materials availability date or transportation planning date) Ship-to party (outbound deliveries have the same destination) Route (same method oftransp01t and route) Incoterms ("International Chamber of Commerce" terms of liability for freight in-transit)

Unit 4: Sales and Distribution Processes- Data Determination and Collective Processing
TSCM60
Picking is carried out when transfer orders for triggering and monitoring stock movements are generated. The items in the transfer orders contain the materials and quantities to be picked, which correspond to the delivery quantities. From the transfer order, you can print the pick list for use in the warehouse. Picking can be confirmed automatically or in a separate processing step.
Figure 68: Collective Processing in Picking
You can also introduce picking via collective processing. To do this, you select a worklist from all the outbound deliveries ready for picking and create several transfer orders at the same time. The system automatically combines the outbound delivery items into as few transfer orders as possible. Collective processing can be executed as follows: Manually (online) Creating a background job (batch) to be executed during off-peak hours The system controls the creation of transfer orders via the shipping point, the selection data (picking date) and other criteria. You receive a list of the deliveries that meet your selection criteria. In this list, you can make your selection more precise using sorting and filtering.

From the transfer order, you can print the picking list(s) for use in the warehouse. This step can be carried out automatically. Instead of printing the picking list, you can also forward the transfer order data to an external Warehouse Management System by means of portable data capture (PDC). If automatic confinnation is not used, you can also monitor picking by acknowledging the picked quantities manually. You can also confinn variances in quantities and specify the cause of these by setting a difference indicator. If the total quantity cannot be picked, you can: Pick the open quantities by means of another transfer order Reduce the delivery quantities in the outbound delivery by coping the picked quantities

The goods issue can also be posted via collective processing. To do so, select a work list from all the outbound deliveries for which goods issue is ready to be posted and simultaneously post more than one goods issue. Collective processing can be executed as follows: Manually (online) Creating a background job (batch) to be executed during off-peak hours The system controls the posting of the goods issue via the shipping point, the selection date, and other criteria (forwarding agent or route, for example). You receive a list of the deliveries that meet your selection criteria. If necessary, the list can be drilled down to item level. In this list, you can make your selection more precise using sorting and filtering.

Figure 71: Collective Processing in Billing
To speed up the process of creating billing documents, you can use the billing due list to process more than one billing document simultaneously. The system combines items for billing to create as few billing documents as possible. This function can be used as follows: Manual processing of the billing due list (online processing) Collective processing via a background job (batch) at off-peak hours

Figure 72: Billing Options
When processing the billing due list, the system consolidates as many items as possible onto as few billing documents as possible. Depending on the system setting, these can either be order items or outbound delivery items.
To be able to combine successfully. items must have specific common characteristics, for example, the same billing date, the same payer and terms of payment. The list of common characteristics is maintained in Customizing. The standard system contains a range of options for creating billing documents. You can choose the option that best suits your requirements. Here are a few of the most common options:
Invoice split: You have a sales order for which one outbound delivery has been created. Multiple billing documents are created from the outbound delivery. Separate billing document for each outbound delivery: You have a sales order for which two outbound deliveries are created. Two billing documents are created from these. Collective invoice: You have two sales orders for which three outbound deliveries are created (for example, different ship-to party or partial delivery). A single billing document is created from the outbound deliveries.

Exercise 7: Collective Processing in Sales and Distribution Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Use worklists to identify documents ready for subsequent processing and to process selected documents collectively Combine outbound deliveries for a customer Create transfer orders Update stock quantities and stock accounts after the outbound delivery is fully processed Create collective or individual invoices Identify receivables and revenues based on billing documents and post to the corresponding accounts in financial accounting
Business Exall)ple Although you enter orders one at a time, work packages can be created that allow you to collectively execute shipping and billing activities for many orders at the same time.
It is more important to have efficient sales and distribution processing so that for these steps in the process, work packages can be combined and processed together.
These work packages often have the same criteria, enabling these steps to be automated and executed at specific times by the system. The following tasks occur during the course of further sales and distribution processing: creating delivery notes, picking, shipping goods to the customer, creating invoices and posting receivables and revenues in financial accounting. You will test the options for processing these work packages.
Task 1: Process the delivery due Jist for your shipping point. I.

Figure 75: Material Availability Date Check
The material availability date is determined from delivery scheduling. On this date, enough material has to be available in time for delivery to the customer for their requested delivery date. The system calculates this date, working backwards from the customer's required delivery date. The system calculates the time required for picking, packing, loading and transporting the goods.

The system accesses information in the following order to propose the standard delivering plant: 1.
Customer-material information
2.
Ship-to pm1y customer master record
3.
Material master record
If you enter the delivering plant manually during order processing, your entry will overwrite the default value. In customer-material info, you can maintain the value proposal for a specific material for a customer. You can find the delivering plant in the material master on the Sales and Distribution tab page: Sales Org. I. Delivering plant You can find the delivering plant in the customer master on the Shipping tab page:

Lesson: Basics
In Customizing, you can configure which elements are included in an availability check. In this way, you define which types of stock (for example, safety stock, stock in transfer or stock in quality inspection), which inward movements (for example, purchase or production orders), and which outward movements (for example, sales orders, reservations from Materials Management) should be included in the check.
.
.'
~~··· Figure 78: Requirements transfer
Communication between sales and distribution and procurement is carried out via requirements. The transfer of requirements type can influence the availability check. The employee responsible for materials planning receives information about sales orders in the system and the quantities that SD needs in order to deliver these orders. The material for the order can come from in-house production or external procurement.
If there is insufficient material available, purchase orders can be made via materials planning.

Figure 79: Complete and Partial Deliveries Any agreements you made with the customer about deliveries also affect the result of the availability check. Depending on the agreements for partial/complete delivery in the customer sales order, you can de]i,er an order in one complete delivery or several partial deliveries. In a complete delivery, all items with the order quantities are delive1·ed.
For partial deliveries you can distribute items or quantities of one order on several deliveries.

TSCM60
Lesson: Basics
The indicator for controlling complete/partial deliveries is proposed from the customer master record. The proposal for the item level comes from the customer-material info, if a customer and material agreement has been maintained there. These indicators can be manually changed during sales order entry. The customer may require, for example, a complete delivery which means that all the items in the sales order should be delivered together. If the customer agrees to a partial delivery, the order can be met in several deliveries. If you choose "Complete delivery", you can determine that all the items in a whole order must be delivered together. At item level, you can also decide whether you can split the delivery quantities. The following partial delivery agreements exist: _ Partial delivery allowed A Create a delivery with qty greater than zero
B Create only one delivery (also with C Only complete delivery allowed D No limit to subsequent deliveries

Lesson: Sample Scenarios
Lesson: Sample Scenarios Lesson Overview This lesson provides a number of sample scenarios to illustrate how the availability check works. You will also be introduced to backorder processing.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Use the availability check as patt of order processing
Business Example You want to create orders for materials, for which there is insufficient stock. To do this, you need to check the available stock and may require information on the earliest possible delivery dates. In some cases, the customer also allows partial deliveries if the full amount cannot be delivered on the requested date.

Unit 5: Availability Checks
The availability check includes: Current stock Planned inward movements (such as purchase orders, purchase requisitions, planned orders) Forecast outward movements (such as existing sales orders, deliveries). In case I, the situation regarding outward movements is as follows: The existing inward movements are:
Stock: I 00 pieces Existing purchase orders with quantities of 50 and 60 pieces The following future outward movements also already exist: Existing sales orders with quantities of I 00, 40 and 50 units. In this outbound situation, you now enter another sales order for I 0 units. The system carries out delivery scheduling (backward scheduling) based on the customer's requested delivery date and determines the material availability date. It then runs an availability check for this date.

If the customer and type of sales document allow it, the required sales order quantity can also be split into several partial deliveries. The situation in case 3 is the same as for I and 2: The existing inward movements are:
Stock: I 00 pieces Existing purchase orders with quantities of 50 and 60 pieces The following future outward movements also already exist: Existing sales orders with quantities of I 00, 40 and 50 pieces. In case 3, however, the customer needs the goods as soon as possible and allows you to split the delivery quantities up in partial deliveries, if necessary. In this outbound situation, you now enter another sales order for 20 units. The system carries out delivety scheduling (backward scheduling) based on the customer's requested delivery date and determines the material availability date. It then runs an availability check for this date.

Figure 86: Result for Case 3: Partial deliveries
When there is not enough stock, the system uses the availability situation and delivery scheduling to determine the next possible date for which the goods can be contirmed to the customer. The "partial deliveries permitted" agreement means that the quantity can be split up. You can contirm the 20 units for two later dates, each with I 0 units.

You can take into account all inward and outward movements. It is recommended, however. that you only implement an availability check at the end of the replenishment lead time. The

can be specified for each material.
Trading goods: planned delivery time+ goods receipt processing time . . -~---., ·~ -Finished goods: in-house production time. The system assumes that the material will be available at the end of the replenishment lead time by the latest. The availability check is only run until the end of the replenishment lead time. If you check availability in case 4 without including replenishment lead time, the result is the same as for case 2. The customer requires a complete delivery. You cannot make 20 units available until the same date on which the last purchase order for 60 units arrives (inward movement). However, if the system checks availability using the replenishment lead time, you can contirm 20 units for the requested date.

There are two types of backorder processing: Manual with backorder processing You can use backorder processing to list sales documents for materials and to process them manually with reference to the confirmation. This means that ATP quantities can be reassigned and any shortfall can be cleared. Via rescheduling You can use the delivery priority (proposed from the customer master record for the sales order) as a sorting criteria in automatic rescheduling.

If only part of the required quantity is available on the required delivery date and the customer agrees to a partial delivery, then a delivery split can be carried out and a partial quantity can be confirmed for the required delivery date. If the customer does not allow partial delivery, the complete amount can only be confirmed for a later date.
2.
Why is the completion of delivery scheduling a prerequisite for the availability check in the sales order.
a)
3.
The availability check takes place on the material availability date. The materials are required on this date, so that there is enough time remaining for packing, loading and so on before the required delivery date. This means the material availability date must be determined in the sales order before the availability check is carried out. It is determined using delivery scheduling.
Why is delivery scheduling carried out after the availability check, if the item cannot be confirmed for the required delivery date.

Figure 90: Creating Shipments
Using the "Create shipment" function, the system detennines the deliveries due
for transpm1ation and creates the shipments required. The individual deliveries can be assigned to the shipments manually. The sequence of the deliveries within a shipment is determined automatically from the sequence in which they are listed.

Lesson: Transportation Processing
At the time of shipment, items which were not already packed in the delivery, can be packed in shipping units using shipping materials. The functionality used here is basically the same as for loading in the delivery. However, items cannot be generated or entered manually for inventory management/billing. Packed items are assigned to the required means of transport (trucks, for example). Shipping units from the delivery are copied and can no longer be changed. Unlike packing in the delivery, packing in the shipment can be carried out for several deliveries.

Figure 92: Billing the Shipment Costs to the Customer
You can invoice the customer for shipment costs, which are based on effective shipment costs, that have been calculated in the transportation and shipment cost processing areas for settlement with the forwarding agent. The freight costs then appear as an additional entry in the customer billing document.

Figure 93: Connection to Financial Accounting
The system transfers billing document data in invoices, credit and debit memos to financial accounting and posts this to the determined accounts. You can set account determination to be dependent on various different criteria in Customizing, so that the corresponding accounts can be determined. The following criteria are defined in the standard system: Chart of accounts Sales organization Account assignment group of the payer
(customers can be categorized, for example, according to whether they are domestic or foreign customers) Account assignment group of the material (materials can be categorized, for example, according to whether they are services or retail goods) Account key (it is possible to divide this up into the different price, surplus and discount elements) Setting account determination requires agreement from financial accounting and cost accounting, for the reasons mentioned above.

Exercise 9: Transportation Processing Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Edit partial deliveries Describe transportation processing Carry out account determination for a billing document in the accounting document.
Business Example Although you are able to deliver the complete quantity on the requested delivery date, the customer only wants to receive part of the delivery at this point. As there are other customer outbound deliveries to make on the day that the delivery is due, which are on route to this particular customer, you can put several outbound deliveries together in one shipment. After the process has been completed and the invoices are created, you want to ensure that the right accounts have been posted in accounting.

Lesson: Function of the Item Category
a)
Inquiries are customer requests for the sales and distribution conditions of a material (price, delive1y date, etc). You provide your customer with the relevant information using quotations. For inquiries, the validity date is used in the system as a processing deadline for an answer to the inquiry. Quotations are legally binding during the customer validity period.
2.
Does an inquiry have to be set up before a quotation can be created?
a) 3.
Does automatic pricing take place during entry of quotations or inquiries?
a) 4.
No. Quotations without reference to an inquiry can also be created.
Yes. Automatic pricing takes place (dependent on Customizing) during inquiry and quotation creation.
Do you have the option of carrying out the availability check in an inquiry or a quotation as you do in the sales order?
a)
Yes. An availability check is carried out during inquiry and quotation entry in the same way as during sales order entry (dependent on Customizing).
Task 6: How is the item category found in the sales document? I.

The item category is found dependent on the sales document type (inquiry, quotation, standard order, ... ) and the item category group of the material master.
Can different items be created in an order with different item categories?

Lesson: Assembly Processing Lesson Overview This Jesson contains a sample process to demonstrate coJiaboration between Sales and Distribution and Production.
Lesson Objectives After completing this Jesson, you will be able to: Track the status of assembly orders for make-to-order sales orders Pack items in an outbound delivery
Business Example The customer orders a petrol tank that is speciaJiy manufactured for his own requirements. This requires cooperation between Sales and Distribution and Manufacturing. Before the petrol tank is delivered, it must be packed.

Lesson: Assembly Processing
An individual customer requirement is generated from the sales order item and transferred to materials planning (PP). You can use materials planning to plan requirements. Once this has been done, production is carried out. After the product has been manufactured, you post it by goods receipt to sales orders stock specifically for this sales order item. As soon as the delivery is due, you can enter the delivery in SD and post goods issue. This reduces the sales order stock. Then you enter a billing document in SD.

Figure 101: Make-To-Order Production without Assembly Processing The requirement quantity (planned independent requirements), delivery date and configuration specifications are transferred from the sales order to materials planning as an individual customer requirement. You then use a planning run to generate a planned order. Here, bills of material are exploded and dependent requirements for the assemblies and components are generated. As soon as production can start, you create a production order from the planned order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and delivery date from the production order to the sales order.

Figure 102: Make-To-Order Production with Assembly Processing
The individual components for the final product have already been produced for make-to-order production with assembly production. You then only need to assemble the components according to the customer"s wishes. This means you need just a one-level bill of material explosion and you do not need to generate dependent requirements. This means that you do not need a planning run at this point for make-to-order production with assembly processing. You can create a production order directly from the sales order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and delivery date from the production order to the schedule lines in the sales order. Any changes made to the confirmed schedule lines or the delivery date are immediately visible in the sales order and/or in the production order.

TSCM60
Lesson: Assembly Processing
In sales order processing, the costs and sales revenue for a sales order item are collected in a controlling object for that item and settled in a profitability analysis. Pricing in the sales order determines the planned sales revenues (net value 2) and the actual sales revenue is posted in the billing document. The planned costs are compared to the revenues. They arise from product or unit costing, or from the valuation price in the material master (standard price or moving average price). The actual costs are calculated from the withdrawal, production orders, internal activity allocation and'surcharges. The accrued actual sales revenues and costs are settled in the profitability analysis to determine the profit or loss.
Figure 104: Packing
During packing, delivery items can be assigned to packaging materials. The handling units created by this can then be packed in additional packaging materials.

Lesson: Credit Memo Requests
Create a return request (authorization) if the customer returns the goods to you.
You create an invoice correction request if there is a price or quantity deviation. You can create the returns or a credit or debit memo request with reference to a sales order or a billing document. You create the invoice correction request or credit/debit memo (without credit/memo request) with reference to the billing document. For returns, credit/debit memo request or invoice correction request, billing takes place after checking and approval, by creating a credit or debit memo.
Processing
Figure 108: Processing Credit and Debit Memos
Credit memos are processed in a similar manner to debit memos. Credit and debit memo requests can be created with reference to a billing document or a sales order. In this way, the system can determine the correct amount from the preceding document.
For evaluation purposes, you must enter an order reason. The credit/debit memo request contains a billing block, which prevents immediate billing. Once the process has been checked, it is approved by removing the billing block.

Unit 7: Complaints Processing
TSCM60
When the billing documents are posted (credit/debit memo), the required accounting documents are generated automatically. In this way, the correct amounts are credited to or debited from the customer account.
Figure 109: Approving a Credit Memo
Before a credit memo can be created, the process requires that an approval or check step is carried out. This is implemented by means of a billing block.
The return, credit memo request, debit memo request, and invoice correction request documents contain a billing block. These documents are checked by an employee with the appropriate authorization. Unjustitied complaints are rejected and the reason for the rejection is entered against the item(s) in question. Once all the items have been checked, the document can be released for billing. At this point, the billing block is removed. Rejected items are not copied to billing documents although they are still available for evaluation purposes.

Lesson Objectives After completingthis lesson, you will be able to: Carry out and explain in detail returns processing
Business Example Damaged or faulty goods and incorrect invoices result in complaints. If complaints are made regarding valuable goods, the goods must be returned. The damaged material must first be checked. It is stored in a special area for this purpose. If the complaint is justified, the customers receive a credit memo. It must be ensured here that the correct amount is credited to the customer account. Before a credit memo is issued, it must be approved by an authorized person.
Returns

Acceptance of the returned goods
(post goods receipt)
•
Create the credit memo once the

Lesson: Returns
Returns can be created with reference to a billing document or a sales order. In this way, the system receives all the required data about, for example, quantities and price agreements from the original document, thereby ensuring that the correct document is processed fm1her.
For evaluation purposes, you must enter an order reason. Returns processing requires that an approval step is carried out, which is implemented by an automatic billing block. When the damaged/defective goods arrive at your warehouse, post the goods receipt on the basis of a returns delivery. It is usually posted to a separate returns stock rather than to the unrestricted-use stock. This posting can be made before or after the credit memo has been created. Once the returns have been approved (that is, the billing block has been removed), the credit memo and the required accounting documents are generated as a result of the billing process. The correct amount is automatically credited to the customer account. This step can be carried out independently of the inbound delivery of the damaged/defective goods.

Figure 111: Processing Invoice Corrections
The i~voice correction is used to correct quantities or values for which the customer has already been billed. An invoice correction request is always created with reference to the incorrect billing document. The customer receives a document containing the following information: the quantity and price that were originally calculated, the correct quantity and price, and the amount credited to or debited from the customer account.

Figure 112: Invoice Correction Procedure
In the invoice correction request, a credit/debit memo item is generated for each item on the incorrect billing document. When processing begins, therefore, the net value of the document is zero. All the credit memo items are listed in the document followed by the debit memo items. Changes can only be made to the debit memo items. The net values to be credited are derived from the difference between the credit and debit memo items. Credit/debit memo items are always deleted in pairs.

A billing document may have to be canceled, for example, if the payment terms or address of the payer have changed. In this case, a separate billing document (cancellation billing document) and a new accounting document are generated. This re\ises all the postings made as a result of the incorrect billing document by reposting each posting item with the opposite symboL

a)
4.
No. An invoice correction request is always created with reference to a billing document.
Why do you have to enter an order reason for returns or credit/debit memo requests?
a) 7.
An invoice correction request is used for correcting quantities or other values in billing documents.
Can an invoice correction request also be created with reference to a sales order?
a)
6.
When you create a credit memo request or returns document with reference to a sales order, the system receives all the required data (customer data, material data, quantity, and price) from the original document.
Which document would you create if the billing document contains a different quantity or price?
a) 5.
No. A credit memo request or returns document can also be created without reference to another document.
The order reason is entered so that that causes of complaints can later be evaluated.
Before a credit memo can be created as a result of billing, an approval step may be necessary for the credit memo request. What field is used here?
a)
The Billing Block field. The credit memo request is subject to a billing block, which prevents immediate or automatic billing. Once the credit memo request has been approved, the billing block can be removed and the document billed. This step can be avoided, however, by making the appropriate Customizing setting for the "credit memo request" document type so that the system deactivates the billing block option.

Lesson: Advanced Returns Management Lesson Overview This lesson provides an overview of Advanced Returns Management, which is
available as of SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Execute a complaints process using Advanced Returns Management Explain and use the returns overview function
Business Example The following typical customer returns scenarios require Advanced Returns Management: The customer contacts his local branch or distribution center and informs the internal sales representative that he wants to return some goods that are still at the customer site. The sales representative creates a returns order to initiate the return of materials to a company location. The customer contacts his local branch or distribution center and informs the sales representative that he wants to return some goods that are still at the customer site. The sales representative decides that the materials must be returned directly to the vendor and creates a returns order to initiate the return of materials to the vendor. The customer calls an internal sales representative and infonns him that she wants to return some goods. However, the sales representative decides to perform the inspection at the customer site before initiating a physical return. The customer either returns the goods to the counter directly, or ships a quantity of goods to a warehouse or distribution center without advance notice.
Overview Advanced Returns Management (transaction type RE2) provides advanced functions compared to the classic returns (transaction type RE) that provide end-to-end support for the returns process. Customer returns involve the return of goods from a customer to a company location. With Advanced Returns Management, all returns methods can be handled and automated, including for example, returns made at the counter, returns that involve a shipment to the warehouse- including subsequent reverse logistics- and direct shipments from customer to vendor.

Advanced Returns Management also provides for the automatic creation and tracking of all the documents necessary for logistical and financial processing. These include returns deliveries, goods movements, returns purchase orders, returns stock transport orders, ·and credit memos.
Hint: Customer returns that involve a shipment to other company locations or to external vendors also require supplier returns processing. The following figure illustrates the customer returns process in Advanced Returns Management via the associated document flow:

TSCMSO
A returns order can be created with reference to a previous sales order or the related billing document. The returns information for a customer returns order is retained at item level of the operation.
Recording Material Inspection Results You can record the results of a material inspection that was carried out on returned materials. Sales representatives and warehouse employees can enter inspection results directly in the returns order for materials that have been handed over physically at the counter or that have been shipped to the warehouse without prior announcement. Warehouse employees can use the transaction Material Inspection in Warehouse to enter inspection results for returns deliveries related to a returns order. You can generate a worklist of returns deliveries that require inspection. You can enter inspection information at header or item level, depending on whether the results vary for the items. You can split the delivery item if the subquantities of the retums material have different statuses. Inspection results can be used as the basis for detennining the appropriate logistical follow-up activity and the appropriate customer refund. You can find the transaction for recording material inspection results via Logistics Central Functions-+ Advanced Returns Management-+ Material Inspection.
-+
Decision on Logistical Follow-Up Activities You use logistical follow-up activities to specifY the next step in the logistical processing of a returned material. Examples of logistical follow-up activities include Transfer to Free Available Stock, Ship to Vendor and 7J-ansfer to Scrap. · ·
Sales representatives or warehouse employees can enter the information required for the selected logistical follow-up activity directly in the returns order for materials that have been handed over physically at the counter or that have been shipped to the warehouse without prior announcement. The system automatically creates the corresponding follow-up document. The settings for logistical follow-up and refund control are used as the basis here.
Customer Refund Determination You use customer refund determination to determine how much to refund the customer and then to create the corresponding credit memo request. In the returns order, sales representatives specifY when and how the customer is to be refunded. They can also specify the refund amount simply by selecting a refund code. If the refund cannot be fully processed in the returns order, sales representatives and returns managers can use the transaction Customer Refund Determination to define the refund amount. This transaction provides comprehensive information from previous process steps to help the user determine the refund amount. You can generate a worklist of returns orders that require refund determination.

Figure 117: Lists and Reports The system provides lists to support the entire sales order management cycle. Lists fall into two categories. Online lists: Online lists display, for example, sales, delivery, or billing documents for a customer, a material, or a combination of both. Other online lists display documents with a status that requires processing. Worklists: (for instance, all documents that are blocked for delivery) Worklists allow you to select certain tasks in sales and distribution and to process them afterwards. You select the tasks according to your area of responsibility and to various selection criteria (such as date, organizational element, or customer).

Each department has specific lists they use; examples include preparing lists of sales orders ready for delivery creation, lists of deliveries ready for picking and shipping, lists of shipped outbound deliveries ready for billing, and lists of blocked documents requiring special attention. IDES, Inc. must also answer customer questions regarding quotations, sales orders, outbound deliveries and billing documents.

When you use the transactions in the Logistics applications, LIS-relevant data is updated. You can also update data from other systems in LIS. LIS aggregates and stores this data in the data warehouse. The data can be aggregated with regard to quality or quantity: Quantitative reduction by aggregation at period level Qualitative reduction by the selection of key figures To analyze the aggregate data, you can use the SIS tools. Aggregation improves response times and the quality of the resulting reports.

Figure 127: Standard Analyses
Standard analyses offer a wide range of functions for creating complex database presentations and analyses in the LIS. The analysis is based on the information structures. First, select the required data scope dt!pending on the characteristics and period of the information structure. This data is first displayed in a basic list, which can be drilled down to display different characteristics. All analyses can be archived. You can also call up standard transactions from the current evaluation to display, for example, master data or document information. A variety of tools are available that allow you to analyze the selected data further and present your results. These include, for example, cumulative curves, ABC analyses, time series, correlations, top-n evaluations, and other comparison options. You can then display this data graphically. The evaluation results can also be: Printed Downloaded as a file to your local PC Downloaded to a spreadsheet program Sent to one or more employees via your system's office component

Figure 130: Integration of sales in Financial Accounting
All organizational units within a client are subject to one business control. A client can thus be considered to be a synonym for the group. A client is a self-contained technical unit. General data and tables that are used for several organizational structures are stored at this level. You can use the company code and business area to represent a group from a financial accounting perspective.
You can create several company codes for each -client so as to be able to carry out financial accounting for several independent companies simultaneously. At least one company code must be created, however. Each company code represents an independent accounting unit. Several company codes can use the same chart of accounts. A business area is a separate business unit for which cross-company code internal reporting can be carried out. Business areas are not limited by company codes. For this reason, the business areas in all company codes must have the same description. Using this organizational unit is optional. You use business areas if you want to calculate profit and loss statements independently of the company code. In the case of postings made from sales and distribution. the business area can be derived automatically.

It is, for example, responsible for product liability and other customer rights of recourse. You can use sales organizations to subdivide markets into regions. Each business transaction is processed within a sales organization. A sales organization is assigned to exactly one company code. A sales organization is assigned to one or more plants.
Each sales organization has its own master data. for example. its own customer and material master data as well as condition records.

Sales documents, delivery documents, and billing documents are always assigned to a sales area. Every sales process always takes in a specific sales area. The relevant master data can usually be maintained explicitly for each sales area, for example: Sales-relevant customer master data
Sales-relevant material master data (the division is a general field of the material master; as a result, a material can only be assigned to one division.) Conditions (prices, discounts/surcharges) You can carry out analyses within a sales area such as evaluation of sales volume, for example. You should try to keep the organizational structure of a sales area as simple as possible. Sales area
Figure 136: Sales Office and Sales Group Sales office Sales offices define geographical aspects of the organizational structures in business development and sales. A sales office can be viewed as an actual office or perhaps a territory or region. Sales offices can be assigned to multiple sales areas. If you enter a sales order for a sales office within a particular sales area, ihe sales office must be permitted for that sales area. Sales group Employees of a sales office can be assigned to sales groups defined for each division or distribution channel. Sales groups are assigned to sales offices. Salesperson

A sales group consists of a certain number of salespersons. A salesperson is assigned to a sales office and group in the sales employee master record. Thereafter, you can select this personnel master record in the partner screen of a sales document. You can carry out sales analyses on the different internal organization levels.

Figure 137: Plant
Materials management is primarily concerned with the flow of materials within a company. Production facilities and locations for storing stock must therefore be defined in the system. The terms used in the system for these entities are plant and storage location. Material stocks can be described in detail at the level of different storage locations within a plant. A plant can either be a location for production and material requirements planning (MRP) or it may simply represent one or more material stock locations in close proximity to one another. Each plant is assigned to a unique company code. For a plant to deliver goods to customers, it must be configured appropriately as a delivering plant in sales customizing. During the sales process, the delivering plants are first used to verify the stocks, and later to supply the goods the customer has ordered.

Figure 138: Delivering Plant The plants from which the Sales department delivers the materials ordered (delivering plants) must be assigned to a sales organization and a distribution channel (distribution chain) in Customizing. By making the plant dependent on the distribution channel. you can differentiate further between plants within a sales organization for sales. This would allow the distribution channel "direct sales" for certain plants in a sales organization but not for others. One plant can be assigned to several distribution chains as the delivering plant. lt can also be assigned to several sales organizations. It is also possible for the delivering plant of a distribution chain to belong to a different independent company in the corporate group (that is, the plant belongs to a different company code to the sales organization). This is known as Cross-Company Sales.

Lesson: Information Sources and Data Transfer
During data input for sales documents, the system supports you by analyzing various sources of information. The aim is to make creating documents easier by using default values or fixed reference data. Possible sources of information are: Master data: The system reads the master data defined for a customer, a material, or a pricing condition. For example, the specific terms of payment for a customer can be found. The sales information from a material master can serve as the source for the delivering plant. Existing document data: Document data that has already been entered or determined automatically by the system can be used to enter additional document data. For example, the delivering plant is used- along with other information -to determine the shipping point. Customizing: Default values for creating documents can be defined in Customizing. For example, you can set a default value for the delivery date or configure a delivery or billing block in the sales document type. You can also define strategies in Customizing for determining document information based on combinations of several criteria (for example: determining the shipping point through a combination of delivering plant, loading group, and shipping condition). Hard-coded controls: Different information sources can be weighted using controls hard-coded in the SAP program (example: proposing plants automatically).

Figure 142: Business Partners from the Customer Master
The essential business partners for a sales transaction are the sold-to party. ship-to party, payer and bill-to party. These business partners pia} various roles (called partner functions) in the business process.
You can maintain a customer master record for each partner. There is a suitable entry screen for each type of business partner. When you enter a sales document, you can also enter the ship-to party instead of the sold-to party. The system then detennines the sold-to party from the ship-to party. Jfthere is exactly one sold-to party for the ship-to party, the system can do this automatically. If there are several possible sold-to parties for the ship-to party, the system displays a selection screen with the possible alternatives. If a sold-to pmiy cannot be determined, the system issues an error message in the status bar. A message also appears if you entered a ship-to party in the sold-to party field inadvertently. The system then continues to process the data as if you had entered the ship-to party in the ship-to party field.

The business data in a sales document is taken from the master data records for the different business partners. Since locations of ship-to parties and sold-to parties can vary, delivery address and control information are taken from the ship-to party master record. Since the payer is responsible for the payment of receivables, payment conditions in the document are taken from the payer master record. The bill-to party contains the address to which the invoice should be sent. This address may be different from that of the payer.

Unit 10: Sales Order Processing

The plant is an integral part of Logistics. It assumes the role of a delivering plant in sales. When you enter an item to be delivered, the SAP system attempts to determine a delivering plant automatically from the master data. If the search is successful, the results are copied to the document item. You can change this plant manually. During its search, the system checks several master data records: First, it checks whether it can propose a delivering plant from an entry in the customer-material info record. If the customer-material info record doesn't contain a plant, or ifthere aren't any customer-material info records, the system checks the customer master record for the ship-to party. If this search is unsuccessful, the delivering plant is determined from the material master record. If there isn't a plant in the material master record, the system will be unable to determine a valid plant. And if the system is unable to determine a valid plant, it cannot determine any other document data. either. For example. it would not be possible to automatically determine the shipping point. Furthermore, no availability check is possible, and no delivery can be created. Hint: If necessary, you can use a USEREXIT to enhance the standard system.

Figure 148: Blocks In sales orders, you can block the following transactions: For shipping For billing You can set a billing block in the document header and in the individual items. You can customize the delivery block to configure the detailed effects of that block in shipping processing. For example, you can prevent the creation of a delivery in general, or allow processing of the delivery and picking but block the goods issue, and so on (see Appendix). You can set a billing block in the document header and in the individual items. You can enter reasons for rejection for one or more items. In copying control, you
can stop this item from being copied into subsequent documents. The "Fast change" function enables you to simultaneously block all the items that you have selected in the document.

You can enter a reason for rejection for one or several items. You can create a suitable copying requirement in copying control to prevent these items from being copied into subsequent documents. For example, if a customer doesn't want some of the items in a quotation, you can assign a reason for rejection to those items. This gives the items the completed status. The business transaction can thus be concluded without deleting the item. Reasons for rejection also allow you to verify what your customers think of your products during a certain tin1e period. The marketing department can use these results as an important planning tool for their strategies in the next sales period. The "Fast change" function allows you to reject several or all items of a document at the same time. A special pushbutton is also available for rejecting all the items in a document

Figure 150: Changes to the Sold-to Party in the Sales Document At times, it can be beneficial to start entering individual items before you enter the sold-to party, especially when phone sales are involved. Because a sold-to party is always required to create a sales document, a default value must be set in the sold-to party field. You can do this with your user-specific parameters or- depending on the sales document type- with a transaction variant. The incompletion log of the sales document ensures that the person responsible replaces the default customer value with the actual sold-to party. To do this, the default sold-to party must be flagged as such in the customer master (activate customer type Default SP). When the sold-to party is changed, the changed value runs through the same checks as the initial entry. As a result, a variety of data is re-determined -such as texts, prices, and delivering plant. You can also change the ship-to party later on the overview screen. However, the system does not re-determine the sold-to party in this case.

You need to make settings in Customizing so that the item and schedule line categories are detennined automatically in the sales document. To fully set up a business process in your system, you need to configure the system for forwarding data from the sales document to subsequent documents according to your needs. You can do this in copying control.

You need to configure several general sales functions (basic functions) for the sales documents. These include: Partner determination
Pricing

Delivery scheduling
You can fine tune these settings at each level within the sales document. The sales document is not completely configured until you have processed all the necessary basic functions.

Examples: For pricing, you can set up your own pricing procedure for a sales document
type. First you configure the sales document type and pricing procedure separately, then you assign the procedure to the sales document type. You can also create default output types for each sales document type. To do this, you assign the relevant output determination procedure to the sales document type in output customizing. You can use different functions for different sales document types. For example, pricing but not inventory updates are needed to create an inquiry.

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents - Sales Document Type
You can also save default values that appear when you create a document. You can overwrite these values at different levels of the document to match particular procedures, such as the customer's requested delivery date or certain basic requirements for contracts.
In addition, you can activate various checks such as messages about open quotations or outline agreements, searches for customer-material info records, or credit limit checks. Note that activating checks can affect system performance. Hint: Adding a new sales document type to sales processing is time consuming because many of the entries in Customizing depend on the sales document type. To avoid any difficulties, you should generate a new sales document type by copying an existing one with similar functions. This document type should be one from the SAP standard system or should already have been tested by your company. When you copy the document type, both the fields and the dependent entries are copied. Once the system has copied the document, it automatically generates a log that you can save for documentation purposes.

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents- Sales Document Type
Exercise 17: Controlling Sales Documents with Sales Document Types Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Control sales document types in Customizing Implement your own sales processes with new sales document types.
Business Example You want to control and evaluate your sales activities for trade fairs separately. To do this, you use a different sales document type, which you set up in Customizing to meet your requirements. You limit the use of that sales document type for the defined sales areas.
Task 1: Your new trade fair order should meet the following requirements: -Description: Fair##-orde1: -The number assignment should be internal- you should not be able to assign numbers externally. -Item numbering should have an increment of 100. -Order entry should begin with the Item overview screen. -Checking open quotations or contracts is not necessary. -When billing documents are created, the system should re-run pricing automatically.
Hint: In the standard system, billing type Fl is configured so that pricing is re-run automatically when you create a new billing document.
-Your company wants the requested delivery date to be proposed automatically with a lead time of 10 days. -Pricing should be based on the current date. -The system should automatically propose the current date as the purchase order date. I.
Change order type ZA##, which has been generated as a copy of the standard order (order type OR) to meet these requirements. Continued on next page

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents - Sales Document Type
Solution 17: Controlling Sales Documents with Sales Document Types Task 1: Your new trade fair order should meet the following requirements: -Description: Fairll#-orde1: -The number assignment should be internal- you should not be able to assign numbers externally. -Item numbering should have an increment of 100. -Order entry should begin with the Item overview screen. -Checking open quotations or contracts is not necessary. -When billing documents are created, the system should re-run pricing automatically.
Hint: In the standard system, billing type F1 is configured so that pricing is re-run automatically when you create a new billing document.
-Your company wants the requested delivery date to be proposed automatically with a lead time of 10 days. -Pricing should be based on the current date. -The system should automatically propose the current date as the purchase order date. I.

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents - Item Category Lesson Overview This lesson describes tasks, control options and automatic determination of item categories. The use of item categories to control bills of material in sales documents is also described.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Identify and explain the important control parameters for item categories Create a new item category Configure the system so that item categories are automatically assigned to a sales document type Control settings for bills of material in the sales document.
Business Example Company management has now decided to expand the company's sales activities. In future, BOM's are to be used to sell certain products. To control these processes separately, you want to be able to influence document control at item level.

Various item categories are delivered with the system to model the different business processes. You can use them as examples or as templates for creating your own item categories.
The item category is defined with a four-digit key. These keys are copied automatically from the original German keys and are not translated. The first two characters provide a clue to the sales document type that was originally designed for these item categories. The last two characters indicate the use of the item category, such as: •
AFTX Sales document type: IN Usage: TEXT TAD Sales document type: OR Item category group: LEIS KMN Sales document type: AG Item category group: NORM
You can decide if you would like to keep the standard keys or define your own so that the abbreviation refers to your sales document types and how the category is configured.
Figure 157: Item Category Functions The item category controls what the item does in the sales document and in any subsequent processing for the business transaction.

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents - Item Category
The essential characteristics of an item category decide: Whether business data in the item can be different to that of the document header Whether pricing applies to the item Whether and how an item is billed Whether the item refers to a material or whether it is just a text item Which incompleteness procedure is used to check the item data. You can change the item category settings defined in the standard system. You can also define new item categories. To do this, you should always copy existing item categories that have already been tested, then change these to meet your requirements. The delivery relevance indicator is only for items without schedule lines. You could indicate that a text item was relevant to delivery, for example, so that the system copies this item from the sales order into the delivery document. Function
Example
Figure 158: Controlling the Items in the Sales Document
The diagram contains examples with settings as provided in the standard SAP system. Every item in a sales document is controlled by means of its item category. This enables you to Use different item categories in different sales document types Realize different business processes for each item in the sales document.

Unit 11: Controlling Sales Documents
You can configure the functions of the item categories according to your requirements. For example: You do not need price determination for the text item in the inquiry (item category AFTX). but you want to enter delivery quantities and delivery dates, and you therefore allow schedule lines. You want schedule lines for a free-of-charge item in the sales order (item category TANN) but you do not want to carry out pricing for this item or transfer it to billing.

Figure 159: Sub-Items
You can assign an item to a higher-level item if, for example, a customer receives
free goods for ordering a certain quantity of your product. Example: Item 10:
Ml
100 unirs
1000 Euro
Item 20:
M2
10 units
free-of-charge
For ordering 100 pieces of item 10, the customer receives 10 units free of charge. To display this, you enter item 10 in the higher-level item field for item 20. This simple form of supplying free goods is supplemented with automatic determination of free goods (see the unit entitled "Free goods").

Item categories are assigned to sales document types.
The purpose of this assignment is to: Configure the system to propose an item category when you create an order. Define alternative item categories to the system default which users can choose. This assignment is influenced by: The item category group from the material master record. The item category group allows you to group together different materials that behave in a similar way during sales and distribution processes. for example. You can also define new item category groups if needed. The usage for the item, which in some cases is set internally in the program.

Figure 161: Bills of material: Example: Computer A computer consists of several components. Each of these components is in tum constructed from several separate parts. You can store this structure in the system as a bill of material. All the items in the bill of material (BOM) that you want to control in the sales document must be flagged as relevamfor sales. (Please note: the items in a bill of material are controlled differently than the item categories in a sales document). If you create a BOM material with BOM usage 5 (sales and distribution), all the items in the bill of material will be automatically flagged as relevant to sales. By making the appropriate settings in Customizing for the item categories in the sales document, you can copy the components in the bill of material to a sales order. To process the sales document, you only need to enter the material number of the BOM. The BOM appears in the sales document as a structure with main items and sub-items. The system explodes the BOM in the sales order by automatically generating sub-items for the components.

Figure 162: Exploding Bills of Materials in Sales Documents
The individual item categories control what a bill of material can do in a sales document. In Customizing, you define and assign item categories for the main and sub-items of the BOM in the sales document. A specific item category group assigned to the material master record of the main item defines which item categories are assigned to the main item. To determine how far the BOM should be exploded in the sales document, you need to define the extent of the structure of the item category for the main item. When you determine the sub-items. the system also needs to know the item category of the higher-level item.
In Customizing for item categories, you control which item(s) are relevant to pricing and how you want to implement requirements transfer.

Exercise 19: Control of Sales DocumentsItem Category - BOMs in Sales Document Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Create master records for sales BOMs Control BOMs in sales documents.
Business Example You often have to explode BOMs in sales documents. In the process, you have to determine, for example, the level at which price determination and/or transfer of requirements is performed.
Task: You want your material T-FUA## in plant: 1200 to appear as a bill of material in your sales docmnents. Work with the bill of material and use it for entering data. I.
For this material, create a sales BOM (usage: 5 Sales and Distribution) with the components T-ATA##, T-ATF## and T-ATG## (I piece each). Configure the bill of material items as stock items (L ).
2.
Create an order for your customer T-S62A## and your material T-FUA##. The purchase order number is ##L0605-0R07. Does the system explode the bill of material?
Why I why not?
3.
In future, you only want to determine prices for the finished product. You want to list the individual components of the finished product for informational purposes. Change the material master for your material T-FUA## so that pricing only takes place at main item level.
4.
Check the effects of your change in the sales document. Create an order for your customer T-S62A## and your material T-FUA##. The purchase order number is ##L0605-TA08. Does the system explode the bill of material?

Unit 11: Controlling Sales Documents
Various schedule line categories are delivered with the system to provide different control options for the items throughout the sales process. You can use them as model examples or as templates for creating your own schedule line categories. The schedule line category is defined with a two-character key. The standard system already includes keys that often indicate the usage of the schedule line category. The first character indicates the sales process in which the schedule line category is used. A = Inquiry
B = Quotation
C =Order
D =Returns
The second character in the key indicates what happens to the schedule line within logistics. D =No inventory management
X =No inventory management with goods issue
N=NoMRP
P = Material requirements planning
V = Consumption-based planning You can decide if you would like to keep the standard keys or define your own so that the abbreviation refers to your sales document types and how the category is configured.

Line Categories
Schedule lines contain delivery dates and quantities as well as information about the requirements transfer and inventory management. They are a prerequisite for delivering materials. In Customizing for item categories, you decide if you are going to allow schedule lines for the item. You can assign schedule line categories to each item category. By defining a schedule line category, you determine which schedule lines are actually relevant for delivery. You need to activate the relevant to delivery indicator if you want the goods to be physically delivered. In the schedule line category, you set the movement type to control which changes to quantities and values are posted to inventory accounting. Inventory management is responsible for maintaining the movement types. Movement types have been configured for all processes in the SAP standard system. Many of the movement types relevant to sales are between 601 and 699. You can deactivate requirements transfer and availability checks at schedule line level. A purchase requisition is a prerequisite for a purchase order and this can be automatically generated from the sales document. To do this, you need to configure the purchase order type as well as item and account assignment categories in the purchase order. If you activate a delivery block in the schedule line category, the block is automatically set at schedule line level in the sales document. Function
Example
Figure 165: Controlling Schedule Lines in Sales Documents Examples in the standard SAP system. Schedule lines in quotations are not relevant for delivery. The requirements transfer is inactive in the schedule line category. Goods movements are not necessary in your warehouses so no movement type is needed.

Unit 11: Controlling Sales Documents
Since schedule lines from category CP generate delivery items in the sales order, the 'relevant to delivery' indicator is activated. The requirements transfer is active in the schedule line category. Complete Customizing for requirements transfer (for example, for requirements planning) requires you to define and assign the requirements class. The goods movement is controlled by movement type 60 I. With this movement type, when the goods issue for the delivery is posted, the quantity shipped is taken from unrestricted use stocks. If you want a returns delivery to follow a return order, you need a schedule line category that is relevant for delivery. In this case, transferring requirements is not necessary. Movement type 651 enables you to make sure that a goods receipt goes to blocked stock returns. This replaces the usual good issue.

Figure 166: Assigning Schedule Line Categories to Item Categories
Schedule line categories are assigned to item categories. The purpose of this assignment is to: Configure the system to propose a schedule line category automatically when you create an order Determine the schedule line categories that the user can choose instead of the system proposal. The assignment is influenced by the materials requirements planning (MRP) type in the material master record.

Lesson: Controlling Sales Documents - Schedule Line Categories
The system uses two steps to automatically determine the schedule line category: First, it tries to determine the schedule line category using the key combination of item category and MRP type. If no schedule line category is found, the system searches for the key combination of item category I no MRP type.

Business Example The schedule lines contain delivery quantities and dates for a sales document item. Later on in the business process, a schedule line can either create an item in a delivery or it can transfer the data to a subsequent sales document. You use the schedule line categmy to decide, for example, whether the system should check availability or transfer requirements for that schedule line.

Unit 12: Data Flow
Lesson: Data Flow in the Application Lesson Overview This lesson describes the mapping of business processes in sales by the creation of sales documents with reference to preceding documents. This enables document flows to be built up that describe business processes. Information is transferred from the preceding document to the subsequent document (data flow). A status update is also made to the preceding document. The document flow can be analyzed and provides an overview of the business process.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lessoR, you will be able to: Use document flow Understand and influence how data is passed on between sales documents at header, item and schedule line level Use the completion rule for item categories to control creation of documents with reference.
Business Example The different sales processes at your company. IDES AG. need to differentiate how they copy data from a preceding document to a subsequent document The update of status information in the preceding document also has to be controlled differently, depending on the process. You need to model the processes as document flow lists.

Lesson: Data Flow in the Application
You can create a sales document with reference to a preceding document from both the initial screen and during document processing. The process is controlled using a uniform dialog box. The dialog box contains the six tab pages for Inquiry, Quotation, Orde1; Contract, Scheduling agreement and Billing document, from which you can choose one. The default tab card that appears when you first call up the screen has been determined by the system depending on the sales document category and the Mandatmy reference field. The system then determines the document number of the required reference document. When you choose Copy, the system copies the reference document completely and if you choose Item selection, you can select certain items and change the quantities before they are copied (see next slides).

You can create sales documents with reference to documents that already exist. In the process, you can specify a different requested delivery date for the new document. This date is set at header level and for all referenced items in the new document.
You can use the Selection list button to select one or more items in the referenced document and change the order quantities according 10 your custOmer's requirements. This allows you to copy partial quantities or all the items and quantities in the referenced document to the new one directly. Alternatively, you can also copy all the items and quantities directly from the preceding document.
You can create with reference from both the initial screen and during document entry. This allows you to group several quotations for a customer together in a single order. You can create with reference for inquiries, quotations, sales orders. contracts.
scheduling agreements and billing documents. To create with reference, you must first configure the corresponding copying controls. Please note that you should only configure these controls for logical business processes. Example: A free-of-charge subsequent delivery based on a sales order is appropriate. An order based on a free-of-charge subsequent delivery is not appropriate.

Unit 12: Data Flow
In addition, if you want to restrict the reference to an item (for example, only until the full quantity in the preceding document has been referenced), set the appropriate Completion rule in the item category. The status of each item in the preceding document is updated separately, depending on the completion rule of the item category. Examples
Completion rule A: An inquiry item is given "Completed" status as soon as it has been referred to in a quotation. This applies even if only part of the quantity in the quotation is referenced.
Completion rule B: A quotation item is not given "Completedt' status until the complete quantity has been copied to the subsequent order. If only some of the quantity is copied, the quotation item is given the status "Partially referred". This allows you to continue creating orders from this item until the total quantity has been used up. There are additional completion rules for items in contracts. If you enter a reason for rejection, the item receives "Completed" status.

Lesson: Copying Control
In copying control, you determine which document types can be copied to another document type. Examples of this show how you can create a: Sales document type from a sales doc. type, for example, standard order (OR) +-quotation (QT) Sales document type from a billing doc. type e.g. Credit memo request (G2) +- invoice (F2) Delivery type from a sales document type e.g. Delivery (DL) +-Standard order (OR) Billing doc. type from a sales doc. type e.g. Credit memo (G2) +- Credit memo request (G2) Billing document type from a delivery type e.g. Invoice (FI) +-Delivery (DF) .Billing doc. type from a billing doc. type e.g. Invoice cancellation (S I) +- invoice (Fl) You determine the details ofthe copying procedure in copying control.

Unit 12: Data Flow
To control the copying procedure, at each level you create: Routines for data tramfer
These routines control transfer of fields in the preceding document. Copying Requirements
Here you define requirements that are checked when you create a document with reference. If these requirements are not met in a pm1icular case, the system issues a waming or error message and if necessary, terminates processing. Switches
There are switches for setting specific controls for each transaction. For example, you can activate or deactivat~ the transfer of item numbers from the preceding document at header level for sales documents. lfyou enter an invalid value or do not enter a target value at item and schedule line level, the system determines the target from the assignment of the item or schedule line categories. Any value you enter must exist in the item or schedule line category assignment (as an alternative). Quotation

Lesson: Copying Control
Examples of copying requirements that have been included in the SAP standard system are:
Header level Copying requirement 00 I checks, for instance, whether the sold-to party and the sales area in the source and target document are the same. Item level Copying requirement 301 checks, for instance, whether the item that is to be used as a copy has a reason for rejection or completed status. Schedule line level Copying requirement 50 I ensures that only schedule lines with an open quantity greater than zero are copied. Hint: Routines and requirements are written in ABAP code and they can be processed in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under the menu option "~stem Modifications". Here you should check whether the existing objects are suitable. Normally, you can adjust your system quickly by copying the objects in the standard system and deleting or adding lines of code to them.

Exercise 22: Copying Control Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise. you will be able to: Adjust data transfer between sales documents to meet the specific requirements of a business process
Business Example In each step within a business process, you formulate requirements that become prerequisites for the next step. For example, you can define that a quotation can only lead to an order when: the sold-to party is identical in both documents or when The customer's order lies within the validity period of the quotation
Task: You decide in copying control whether the item numbers for the subsequent document should be copied from the preceding document. I.
Was the item numbering in the trade fair order (purchase order number ##L0605-ZA##04 recalculated or taken from the quotation?
2.
Item numbering should be re-detennined when you create an order for order type ZA## with reference to a quotation. Change the settings in copying control accordingly.
3.
Create a quotation for customer T-S62A## that is valid for a month, with purchase order number ##L0605-QT04 and any two items. Enter an order, order type ZA##, with reference to this quotation (purchase order number ##L0605-ZA##05). Copy both items. Check the item numbering in the quotation and the sales order.

You control the invoice papers with output type RD03, contained in the output determination procedure for order type CS. Once the goods have been withdrawn from the warehouse, picking and posting of the goods issue can begin. An order-related billing index is generated automatically. This updates the billing due list. Billing type BY is created while the billing due list is being processed. The system does not print invoices during billing. ·~

You process consignment fill-up with order type CF. The goods issue sets up a special stock at thecliStOiilef~-fhe goods remain in the valuated stocks of the delivering plant however. This transaction isn't billed because the consignment stock remains the property of your company. Consignment issue is processed with order type Cl. When goods are issued, both the customer special stock and the stock in the delivering plant are reduced. This transaction is relevant for billing. If the customer returns the goods, you can represent this with order type g> (consignment pick-up). This transaction credits the special customer stock during the goods issue. Like the consignment fill-up, this transaction is not relevant for billing. If you want to reverse a consignment issue, you can process this with document type CONR (consignment return):Thegoods receipt sets up the special stock at the customer's again. A credit memo is generated based on the consignment returns.

You enter a subsequent delivery free-of-charge document, for example, when you need to deliver material for an order due to a complaint. Customizing for sales document type SDF determines that this transaction requires a preceding document. The relevant copying controls must be set up for all preceding documents that might be u5ea. tor example. copying control for SDF from an RE (returns order). By activating a delivery block in the sales document type, you ensure that delivery free-of-charge o~elivery free-of-charge transactions are not released for delivel)' until they have been checked by the relevant employee. lfthe employee decides that the delivery should not take place, he or she can maintain a relevant reason for rejection in the sales document.

Exercise 23: Special Business Transactions Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Explain how complex business processes such as consignment processing are handled Explain how to control document types FD and SDF.
Business Example Consignment processing offers your partners great advantages. Your customers manage the consignment stock themselves and can access the goods in the consignment warehouse at any time. They do not have to pay until the goods are issued and then only for the amount that has been used. There are two different cases that involve dispatching goods free of charge to the customers: The free of charge delivery of advertising materials and subsequent delivery within returns processing.
Task 1: You agree to make material T-ATE## available immediately as consignment goods for customer T-S62.4##. Hint: Check the stocks (plant 1200) in another session mode.

Unit 1 Incompleteness Unit Overview This unit describes the function of the incompleteness check. During sales document processing, the system can check to see whether all necessary information for the document has been recorded. If not, the document is incomplete. The consequences of this incompleteness can be controlled enterprise-specifically.
Unit Objectives After completing this unit, you will be able to: Understand the incompletion log and process incomplete orders. Use Customizing to adjust the incompletion procedure to meet your own requirements.

Unit 14: Incompleteness
Lesson: Incompletion Log Lesson Overview The incompleteness log is a list containing all information that has been defined as relevant for the sales document but that has not been processed during sales document processing. This list can be called and processed manually or automatically on saving the sales document. Specific searches can also be made for incomplete documents.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Understand the incompletion log and process incomplete orders.
Business Example A wide variety of information is required to ensure that the sales processes at your company run smoothly. O~der

Figure 181: Incompletion Log
An incompleteness log is a list of all data essential to your company in a sales document that has not yet been entered in the system. You can define these data fields in Customizing for the incompletion procedure. The system goes directly from the incompleteness log to various views, where you can then edit the incomplete data.

Figure 182: Lists of Incomplete Orders
All employees can list all the incomplete sales documents that they have entered. They can also display certain documents that have been blocked for a particular step in a selection screen, for example, a list of all the documents blocked for shipping due to incompleteness. Incomplete orders can be then called up from the list and completed. When you have finished processing, the system automatically returns to the list of incomplete documents.

Figure 183: Incomplete Sales Documents
In Customizing for sales document types, the incompletion messages field allows you to control whether incomplete sales documents can be saved or not. If this switch is not set, then the subsequent course of the business process is determined from status groups in the incompleteness procedure. The procedure controls whar effects the incomplete data has on the process. Examples: If the terms of payment are missing, the order can be delivered but it cannot be billed. At the same time. you will not be able to create a new order with reference to an incomplete order. The incompletion log may tell you the purchase order number is missing, but you can continue to process the document.

Unit 14: Incompleteness
Lesson: Configuration of the Incompletion Procedure Lesson Overview The incompleteness log is a list containing all information that has been defined as relevant for the sales document but that has not been processed during sales document processing. The relevant information can be defined company-specific for each business transaction in Customizing for the appropriate incompleteness procedure. The consequences of this incompleteness are controlled specifically for each field using the status group.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Use Customizing to adjust the incompletion procedure to meet your own requirements.
Business Example A wide variety of information is required to ensure that the sales processes at your company run smoothly.
The amount of information required can differ depending on the process. It is your responsibility to configure the system in such a way to make sure that people can verifY that the document data is complete during document entry.
You want to control which subsequent functions of the document are blocked depending on which information is missing in the document.

Figure 184: Controlling the Incompletion Log
The incompletion log differentiates between the following levels: Sales document header Sales document item Sales document schedule line In each procedure, you detennine which fields are checked for completion. You determine areas of validity by assigning procedures. For example, you can assign the incompleteness procedure for the sales document header using the sales document type. Procedure at header level -+ Sales document type Procedure at item level -+ Item category Procedure at schedule line level-+ Schedule line cat. You can also flag partner functions, texts and condition types in pricing as mandatory. If these entries are then missing, a note will appear in the incompletion log.

Figure 185: Status of Incomplete Sales Documents
Incomplete document data affects further processing in different ways. A status group is assigned to each field in the incompletion procedure. When you define the status groups, you decide which steps should be prevented if data is missing. Examples: Incomplete for delivery --->No delivery is possible Incomplete for billing---> No billing is possible Incomplete for pricing---> No order confirmation or billing are possible A status group can contain any number of these consequences. This allows you to control the effects of incomplete data separately for each field.

Lesson: Function and Significance of Partner Functions Lesson Overview This lesson describes the significance and function of partner functions in the sales and distribution process. It focuses on categorization of business partners using partner functions and transfer of partner functions and partner function assignments from the customer master to the sales document.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Understand the importance of the partner function concept for the sales and distribution process.
Business Example As part of your efforts to improve customer service, you want to assign each
of your customers a sales employee as their own personal representative. This information should be available automatically in your sales documents. Your company is also investigating whether you can evaluate this data, in order to obtain criteria for awarding perfonnance-related bonuses to your staff.

Unit 15: Business Partner
Partner types AP, KU, LI and PE are defined in partner processing for the Sales and Distribution application module. These are defined as follows: AP Contact person KU Customer LI Vendor PE Personnel Further partner functions (for example, 0 organizational unit. S position A work center) are used in other applications (for example, service management).
AP Contact person Figure 188: Partner Functions While the partner types allow us to distinguish between different business partners, the partner functions represent the roles they play within the business transaction. For example, different customers (customer partners) can assume certain roles in a business transaction. The customer who places the order does not necessarily have to be the same customer who receives the goods or the customer who is responsible for paying the invoice. Assigning partner functions in the SAP system determines the function(s) of particular partners in the sales process. One partner may take on several functions. In the simplest case, all the pm1ner functions within the customer partner type are assigned to one business partner, in other words, the same customer is the sold-to party, ship-to party, payer and bill-to party.

Lesson: Function and Significance of Partner Functions
You can enter contact persons for a customer directly in the customer master so
that they are automatically assigned to that customer. The contact person can also be assigned to another customer, for example, in a consultant role. The forwarding agent is an example of a vendor. Employees at your own company (such as sales representatives or clerks) are managed in the employee master records. They can assume partner functions of partner type "Personnel", such as the partner function ER, responsible employee.

Figure 189: Partners in the Sales Process You can maintain partner relationships both in sales documents and in the master data. Partner relationships are usually already defined in the customer master. These are proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document. Providing Customizing permits it, you can change or supplement these relationships manually by going to the partner screen and changing the function assignment.
You decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master in Customizing. If multiple partners are maintained with the same function, a selection list appears containing these partners when you then enter a sales order. In the sales documents, the system has been configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function. The only exception is for outline agreements (partner functions AA and AW).

You can also define partners at item level in the sales documents. Business partners that are only defined in the header cannot be changed at item level however. You can determine which partner functions have to be entered (mandatory functions). You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered (You can indicate that the sold-to party cannot be changed in the sales document for example). It is also possible to enter or change the address of a partner such as the ship-to party manually. This change does not affect the master record.

The account group controls the amount of data and the response of customer master records. Account groups are already defined in the standard SAP system, such as 000 I Sold-to party, 0002 Ship-to party, 0003 Payer, and so on .. You can create additional account groups as necessary. When you detine the account group, you determine: For each data field, whether it is displayed or not and whether maintenance is mandatory. optional. or not possible The number range A number of other control elements, such as for partners and texts of the customer master.
Example: A customer master record for a customer who only acts as a ship-to party (created with account group 0002) requires information relevant for shipping. Billing information is not required, which is why the corresponding fields are not displayed. In contrast to the account group, which controls a customer master record, the partner function determines which partner assumes specific business functions within the sales process.

Figure 195: Permitted Partner Functions per Account Group For organized sales processing, it is important that each customer is only used for the functions within a document that have been assigned to him or her. You can guarantee this by assigning permitted partner functions to each account group. If you choose the customer partner type for a new partner function, you then have to determine which of your customers may be entered for this partner type. Because you control the customers through the account group, you assign all the defined partner functions to each account group. As a result, the account group of a customer also controls the possible partner functions. Examples from the standard system: Customers in the following account groups can be sold-to parties: 0001,0005,0007. CPD, and so on .. Customers from account group 0002 (ship-to pm1y), 0003 (payer) or 0004 (bill-to party) should not take on the function SP (sold-to party).

Figure 196: Partner Determination for Sales Documents When you create sales documents, business partners are automatically copied from the customer master. In the process, the customer master of the sold-to party is accessed. Several partner relationships are stored in the customer master record for a sold-to pany. The system can also copy a partner function from other customer master records to create a partner for the sales document by specifying the source of the partner function and the determination sequence. When you do, you should note the sequence in which the system determines the partners. Example of indirect partner !unctions:
You have various regular suppliers in various regions. You want the system to determine the forwarding agent in the sales document depending on the ship-to party. In Customizing, you ensure that the system determines the ship-to party by first accessing the master record for the sold-to party. It then accesses the ship-to party's master record to determine the forwarding agent. You can also use other sources to determine business partners in sales documents automatically, such as the tables for customer hierarchy (KNVH), contact persons (KNVK), credit representatives (T024P), and so on ... An analysis function is provided for tracing automatic determination of business partners in sales documents in greater detail.

Lesson: Scheduling Agreements and Quantity Contracts
Outline agreements play an important role in nearly all business processes. Customers and vendors agree on the goods to be provided under certain conditions and within a specific period of time. Outline agreements streamline business processes for both partners in a business relationship. In the SAP system, various sales document types represent different outline agreements. The standard SAP system contains a range of different document types that you can either use directly or copy as templates. The two main outline agreements are scheduling agreements and contracts. The simplest and most common type of scheduling agreement is represented in the system by document type OS. Document types for scheduling agreements such as BL or DEL are special cases that are used in the automotive component supplier industry. There are two types of contracts- value and quantity. Contracts can cover both goods and services. Generally, no restrictions apply to the different contract forms. Rental and maintenance contracts are frequently used in the service industry. Maintenance agreements are signed for products that the customer uses over a long period of time and which need to be serviced during that time. Alongside maintenance contracts, we also offer the Service Management application module whose functions are explained in another course.
Delivery
Figure 198: Scheduling Agreements
A scheduling agreement is an outline agreement between you and a sold-to party that is valid for a certain period oftime. The scheduling agreement contains fixed delivery dates and quantities. These dates are contained in the schedule lines for the scheduling agreements. Once the scheduling agreement is due for delivery, you can create the delivery as normal or by using a delivery due list.

TSCM60
Unit 16: Outline Agreements
When you enter schedule lines for an item in the scheduling agreement, the system adds up the quantities that have already been entered and compares them to both the target quantity and the quantity already shipped. This gives you an overview of all the open quantities. If the quantity in the schedule lines exceeds the target quantity, the system issues a warning message.
If the customer requires it, you can process invoices periodically- for example, once a month. All deliveries due for the billing document are combined in a collective invoice.

You can configure Customizing for the sales document type so that, when you create a release order, the system automatically searches for any open outline agreements. You can choose several options for the search and determine how the system should react if the search is successful: Blank: No checks AIB:Check at header I item level:
The system compares the customer numbers and material numbers. lfthere are any open outline agreements, it displays a dialog box in which you can make a selection. You can then display the open agreements in the form of a list, or continue to process the sales order. C/D: Check at header I item level and copy if unique:
If the system finds ex<~ctly one open outline agreement, this document is created automatically. Instead of displaying a dialog box, the system issues an information message in the status bar for the release. vF:Check at header I item level and branch immediately to selection list: Instead of displaying a dialog box, the system immediately goes to the selection list. No dialog box is displayed. If there is only one open contract, the system reacts as in CID.

Figure 203: Value Contracts - Releases
A release order releases a partial quantity of the agreed total value of goods or services in a contract. A release order is a type of sales order. Normally~
you create a release order with reference to a contract. Several functions exist for searching for the relevant contract:
Search for suitable contracts using the partner number Search for suitable partners using the contract number (for customer lists only) You can select items from all the valid materials using the item selection function. You can choose materials directly or by exploding 2n assortment module. Delivery quantities and times are stored in the schedule lines for the release order. You can create releases in any currency but the total value is updated in the currency of the contract. When you create a release order, the system checks the requirements stored in the contract, such as the release rule or validity period. The value of the release order is compared with the value still open in the contract. You can define how the system responds when this value is exceeded.

Figure 204: Value Contracts - Billing Documents
You can either bill the value contract directly or you can bill each release order. Billing a release order You can use the standard order OR for release orders. Billing can be either order-related or delivery-related. Billing a value contract Order type WA exists in the standard system for the release. The value contract is then billed according to the order. A billing plan allows you to bill the contract for several dates and partial quantities at once. The system automatically adjusts the open billing dates if you make a change to the target value in an item in the value contract later on. The system does not allow you to automatically bill value contracts that have not been completely released.

Item category WKN With value contract material
Figure 205: ControHing Value Contracts There are two types of value contracts in the SAP standard system: WK I General value contract: This order type allows you to refer to different materials and services according to the selection options described earlier. WK2 Material-related value contract: This is used when the contract contains exactly one material (for example, configurable). In Customizing, you only distinguish between the sales document types for value contracts WKI and WK2 in the screen sequence group for document header and
item. You can maintain the value contract material in the item category. It acts as a technical vehicle in the contract item for determining important data, such as account assignments, taxes or statistical updates.
*
Document type WK I uses item category WKN. Document type WK2 uses item category WKC. According to what you enter in the item, the system determines the item category with the usage indicator VCTR or the item category group VCIT. In copying control, you can decide at item level if the value contract material should be copied to the release, (WKC) or not (WKN).
If a release exceeds the targ. et value in a contract item, you can configure how the '-\' system reacts: no response. two different warning messages and an error message. In the standard system, value contracts (document determination procedure Y) use pricing procedure WKOOO I with condition type WKOO for the agreed target value.

Figure 206: Partners Authorized to Release in Contract
Normally, both the sold-to party and other business partners are authorized to release from a contract. This means that the central office for a company can decide which of its branches can release from a contract. There may also be several ship-to parties. To meet this requirement, maintain the Check partner authorization field in Customizing for the sales document type. The sales order can be set up as a customer list (rule A) or via the customer hierarchy (rule B). The partner determination procedure assigns the partners authorized to release against the contract. If there are several partners authorized to release against a contract, you can choose the relevant partner from a list when you create the release order. If there are several ship-to parties that are authorized to release for the selected sold-to party, you can choose the relevant one from a list when you create the release.
To enable the releasing partner to be different than the sold-to party for the contract, copying control uses requirement 002 (Header- Di.f!Customer.

In the standard system, partner function AA has been defined for use as an optional partner function in the relevant partner determination procedure (KAB procedure in the standard system). Alternative ship-to parties are represented by partner function AW. If there are already several possible sold-to parties in the customer master record (partner functions SP and AA), the system displays a selection screen when you create the contract where you can select and copy several partners in one step.

Figure 209: Determining Dates
When you create a contract the system proposes, for example, the start and end dates of the contract. You define the date determination rules in Customizing. These rules start the document on one of the dates that you have set (for example, today's date or installation date). Any interval you specify can also be added to this date. You can also schedule the date for the beginning or end of the month that is determined in this manner. If you specify a duration category, the system automatically generates the duration of the contract. This can be a component of the date rule, for example, for determining the end of the contract. If you assign a contract profile to the sales document type, the system automatically determines default values specific to the contract. These could be: Rules for determining start and end of the contract Duration category Subsequent activities Cancellation procedure

Exercise 26: Scheduling Agreements, Quantity Contracts and Value Contracts Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Use outline agreements and configure their specific settings in Customizing
Explain the concept of partners authorized to release
Business Example Outline agreements play an important role in nearly all business areas. Long-term agreements enable you to use forward planning and special pricing arrangements.
Task 1: You have entered into a value contract with customer T-S62A## that is valid for 6 months. Create a contract and indicate the party authorized to release. The materials that are permitted for contract releases will be listed in an assortment module. The customer subsequently requests releases as orders. The system determines the permitted partners and materials for releases from the information stored in the value contract. I.
Create an assortment module for value contracts. Have the system assign a number for the assortment module and enter the description value contract module ##. The module should be valid until the end of next year. List the materials T-ATB##, T-ATC## and T-ATD##. Module number: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The condition technique provides you with greater flexibility in material determination. When you process a document. the system automatically searches
for valid master records that you created previously in material determination. You can assign a substitution reason to every master record in material
determination that defines how the material should be detennined. You define the substitution rules in Customizing. Examples in the standard system include:

Reason for substitution 0003:

You do not need a material master record for the material number that you are replacing. · During order entry, the material ordered by the customer is replaced by the substitute defined in the master record. The system now continues processing with the substitute (for example, in the availability check, pricing, delivery, billing). L

Note: The item overview for Sales A contains information about the material that was originally entered as well as the reason for substitution.
Figure 211: Selecting Products Manually
In some sectors of industry, the same products are sold in different packaging materials (for example, packaging for standard and promotion articles). Material master records exist in the system for managing these stocks. When you enter an order, you can use different material numbers for the same product. We have extended the functions in manual and automatic product selection so that material determination can support this business practice:

Substitution reason 0005:
Manual production selection (list of default values)
Reason for substitution 0004 I 0006:
Automatic product selection (depending on availability in order and delivery)

593~
Unit 17: Material Determination, Listing and Exclusion
TSCM60
In manual production selection, (reason for substitution 0005), the system does not automatically replace the product. Instead, it displays a list of all of the substitution materials and other information in the master record. You can then select the required material from this list. To simplify selection, the system displays the material quantities that can be confirmed on the customer's requested delivery date. If a material cannot be confirmed fully for the requested delivery date, the system displays the date on which the material can be completely delivered.
Figure 212: Master data
Maintain the master records for material determination in the master data menu for Sales and Distribution under Products. You can use the condition technique to define the master data for material determination at any level. For example, you can create data records depending only on the material number or depending on the material and the customer number.
When you process master records, you can: Restrict the validity period of a record Maintain separate entries for each key combination Determine reasons for substitution Save one or more substitutes per master record If there is more than one material defined in the master record for material determination I product selection, the sequence in which they appear defines the priority that they have.

If automatic product selection is being used, the system may display (based on customizing) the entered and substituted material as main and sub-items in the sales order. When you enter an order, the system tries to till the quantity ofthe order with the first material in the material determination master record. If there is not enough of this material, it fills the remaining quantity with the next material. You can choose whether or not you want to re-run material determination when
the delivery is created. If material determination is re-run, the result of the substitution may change due to the new availability situation. You can use the product attributes in the material and customer master records to exclude a particular material from product selection. This means, for example, that all the materials that have been rejected in the customer master will not be included by the system when it determines a substitution material. The Partial confirmation ofproduct selection allows you to deal with shortfall cases (in which only the available quantity is confirmed, and it is less than the order quantity) by passing the shortfall quantity on to materials planning. In this case, an additional sub-item is generated with a specifically defined material.

If material A is not available, this is automatically replaced by material B. The customer orders material C. You want to use up material D so this is automatically selected until stocks run out.
Figure 214: Automatic Product Selection ·Master Data The sequence of the substitution materials in the master data influences the result of the automatic product selection in the order. If you want the material that is first entered in the order to be included in the substitution, then you must enter it in the substitutions list. Case A:The original material is in the first place in the list. and its available stock is included in the substitution. The system then refers to the available stock for the next material in the master record. Case B:First, the system uses up the available stock for the materials that appear in the master record before the material that has been entered. Only when these stocks have been used up, does it include that material in the substitution.

You can assign a material determination procedure to each sales document type. The procedure contains all of the Customizing information that the system needs for material determination. The procedure includes one or more defined condition types One access sequence (search strategy) is assigned to each condition type. Each access sequence consists of one or more accesses.
Each access contains exactly one condition table. This represents the search key that the system uses to search for a valid master record. ·~You
can activate an analysis of the material determination in the sales document. The system then displays detailed information on how the materials were determined.

Figure 221: Material Listing
You want to make sure that your customer receives only specific materials. You enter these materials as a material listing. The material listing is controlled by the condition technique. In the above example, you have created master records with a key for the customer and material numbers. This key is delivered in the standard system. The access sequence for the condition type guarantees that the system searches for valid master records both for the sold-to party and the payer. You can also define your own keys, for example: Customer group/material Customer/product hierarchy

Lesson: Free Goods
Figure 224: Exclusive and Inclusive Bonus Quantities (2)
In industry sectors such as retail, the chemicals industry or consumer goods industry, it is common to provide discounts in the form offree goods. Free goods can be part of the order quantity not included in the invoice. This is called an inclusive bonus quantity. The ordered goods and the free goods both involve the same material. The quantity units of the free goods and ordered goods must be the same.
Free goods can also take the form of extra goods that are free of charge. These are called exclusive bonus quantities. In exclusive bonus quantities, the extra goods are delivered free of charge and
are not included in the invoice. This can either be an additional quantity of the goods ordered or it can be another article. The ~xclusiv,. fre\'_goods appear in the sales document as a separate, fre~:.Of:charge item.

Figure 225: Free Goods in the Sales Order
Both forms of free goods are handled in the same way in the sales order. The material that has been ordered is entered as a main item and the free goods material is automatically displayed as a sub-item. The item category determines how the item is controlled later in the business process (for example, for delivery or pricing). Item categories TAN and TANN are used in the standard SAP system. The system determines the free goods automatically by accessing the relevant condition records. The system then accesses the free goods master record with the pricing date. As in earlier releases, you can also enter free goods manually by entering data in the higher-level item and item category fields (fANN). In this case however, the system does not refer to the free goods master record, and settings such as automatic reduction of the main item quantity for inclusive quantities or certain controls for the delivery are not available. The system re-reads the free goods master record in the sales order if the quantities in the main item change or if the pricing date changes. The system then deletes the sub-items and re-creates them. Any manual changes to the free goods quantity are lost. If pricing is re-run in the sales order, it does not affect the free goods determination.

Lesson: Free Goods
Figure 226: Free Goods - Master Data
The condition technique is used for free goods. Free goods are generally regarded as a supplement to the pricing agreement for a material. You maintain the free goods in the master records for sales by: Using a different menu entry Going to Prices and Discounts/surcharges when maintaining the master records You can define master records for free goods at any level - for example, material, customer I material, price list category I currency I material or customer hierarchy I material. You can restrict master records for one level in many different ways:
Validity period: The condition is only valid within this period. Minimum quantity: The condition comes into affect when this quantity has been exceeded Calculation rule: see next slide Scales You can process different master data with the same key for inclusive and exclusive bonus quantities at the same time. You only need to press a button to switch between the two types of discount. When you enter an exclusive bonus quantity, an extra entry line appears where you can enter the goods item if it is not the same as the ordered material.

Unit 18: Free Goods
Figure 227: Free Goods -Calculation Rule When you specifY a calculation rule, you decide how the system determines the free goods quantity from the additional and document quantities. The free goods quantity is the quantity from which the discount is calculated (not the minimum quantity). The additional quantity is the quantity delivered free-of-charge. The document quantity is the quantity entered by the person creating the sales order. Three calculation rules are provided in the standard system. The following example describes how they work: You offer supply 20 units of free goods for a free goods quantity of I 00 units. The customer orders 162 units (document quantity). Rule I Prorated: 32 units of free goods [ 162*(20/100) =rounded down) ]') , ~ Rule 2 Related to units: 20 units of free goods [ I 00*(2011 00) =rounded : ,_ c, down] Rule 3 Whole units: 0 units free goods [ 162 is not a complete unit of I 00] Calculation rules are stored in the system in the fonn of ABAP/4 code. You can also define your own rules (transactionfvOFMlunder menu entry, formulas). \~.J

Figure 229: Free Goods -Condition Technique
The condition technique provides greater flexibility for using the free goods functions. The system uses the information about the sales areas, document determination procedure (from the sales document type) and customer determination procedure (from the customer master) to determine the free goods procedure. The procedure contains a list of the condition types for free goods. One access sequence (search strategy) is assigned to each condition type. Each access sequence consistS of one or more accesses. Each access contains exactly one condition table. This represents the search key that the system uses to search for a valid master record. If the search is successful, the system generates a sub-item for the free goods in the document. The item category is assigned with the item category usage FREE. Pricing for both items is controlled with the item category as normal. You can activate an analysis of the free goods determination in the sales document. The system then displays detailed information on how the free goods were determined.

Figure 230: Sales to Employees - Orders Goods offered to employees at reduced prices can be obtained from a shop set up specially for employees. Employees select their goods, take them from the shelves and then proceed to checkout. Since employees can only buy the goods that are in the shop, an availability check and transfer of requirements are not necessary. You should only create orders with a net value. This prevents documents without items or with free items from being created in the system.

Lesson: Sales Workshop: Sales to Employees Scenario
No individual customer master data for employees is maintained in the system. Employee orders are processed using a collective master record (one-time '·~ .. · customer account). Employees generally receive a discount of 15% off the material price. Some materials can also have a higher discount. As soon employees have paid, they are given an invoice which serves as a receipt. Employees take the goods away immediately.

Exercise 30: Sales Workshop: Sales to Employees Scenario Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Set up new document types and item categories Create customer master records for CPO customers Set up price determination Set up message determination Set up the incompletion log.
Business Example Your company produces computers. Your employees can buy in the company shop either at cost price or at discounted prices for employees. They have to pay in cash and take their purchases with them straight away. The employee then receives an invoice for a cash sale. The goods issue posting and the billing document creation can then be performed in automatic processes, for example, at the end of the day.
Task 1: Sales document type Set up the sales document type ZB## MA## sale. I.
To do this, copy the CS Cash Sales order type. Ensure that all related table entries are copied.
2.
Configure the new document type so that the shipping condition as soon as possible (01) is found.
3.
A 1-ride range of checks and functions can be activated in the sales document type, such as checking for open contracts or searching for customer material info records. These checks take place in documelll processing and therefore affect syste.m pe1jormance.
Ensure that all the checks and functions you do not need have been deactivated.

Lesson: Sales Workshop: Bills of Materials Scenario Lesson Overview This lesson looks at control of bills of material at main and sub-item level.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Control the various functions of bills of material at main and sub-item level.
Business Example Several materials can often be sold together as sets or packages. These are stored in the SAP system as bills of material (BOMs). Each separate material in the bill can be configured individually. Your company, IDES. specializes in combining PC packages to meet the customer's individual requirements. The individual components are not ordered until the customer places an actual order. It is your job to create the settings for these PC packages.

TSCM60
Unit 19: Sales Workshop
The components are not ordered from the distributor until the customer has placed an order for the PC. This reduces warehouse stock and thus capital tie-up. Your customers may also order replacement pa11s. The components of the PC come from different vendors. Requirements are therefore transferred to purchasing at component level. This means that one order can generate several purchase orders. An availability check is not necessary in the order because the components are ordered directly from the distributor. The delivery note must contain details of both the PC and all its components. The invoice contains the whole package with the quantity that was delivered. All the components should be listed in the invoice.

The material and components in the BOM are controlled by the item and schedule line categories,
Figure 237: BOMs - Exploding BOMs in Sales Order
If there is a bill of material master record for the material, it can be exploded in the sales document. This depends on the settings you make in Customizing. The structure is exploded in the following order in the sales document: The material that has a bill of material is entered in the order. This is the main item of the bill of material. The item category of the main item is determined. This item categot)· controls whether and how the BOM is exploded. If the BOM needs to be exploded, the system does it automatically. The components are then listed in the document as sub-items for !he main item. The system determines an item category for each sub-item. You can control the functions of each item eategory when' you define it. The schedule line categories are determined dependent on the respective item category. These settings can also be customized. Bills of Material -Tasks Create bills of material Modify the sales document type Create your own item category group Create and assign your own item categories Identify and assign suitable schedule line categories Generate an automatic purchase requisition Test the bills of material in the application

Exercise 31: Sales Workshop: Bills of Materials Scenario Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Create item category groups Create sales BOMs Create and assign item categories Create and assign schedule line categories
Set up automatic purchase requisitions.
Business Example Your company, IDES, is a trading company that specializes in selling personal computers that have been designed to meet your customer's specific requirements. You obtain the components from a distributor who is in contact with producers in the Far East. The components are not ordered from the distributor until the customer has placed an order for the PC. This reduces warehouse stock and thus capital tie-up. For you to be able to order the individual components of a PC from different distributors. requirements have to be transferred to the Purchasing Department at the component level. This means that one sales order can lead to several purchase orders. However, the invoice only contains the whole package with the quantity that was delivered. Your customers are also able to purchase individual spare parts. This means that you still have to be able to price the components individually. The delivery note and the billing document should contain both the PC and all its relevant components.
An availability check is not necessary for the order because you procure the components directly from the distributor. You also want to determine the cost for all components for statistics and controlling purposes. Change the settings for a bill of material (BOM) in Sales and Distribution so that it can fulfill all these requirements.

Lesson: Sales Workshop: Material Determination Scenario
Lesson: Sales Workshop: Material Determination Scenario Lesson Overview This lesson deals with the subject of customer-specific material determination.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Expand the condition technique in material determination so that this may be both customer-specific and non customer-specific.
Business Example Materials can be automatically replaced in sales documents. In the following scenario, it is your job to set up automatic substitution for your company, IDES. Whenever possible, the stock of the old material should be used up for the orders before you sell the new product. However, you also want to deliver the new product to certain customers.

Unit 19: Sales Workshop
You want to use material determination to meet the following requirements: Special customers always receive the newest model even if a purchase order is created for the old one by mistake. A warning message is to inform the employee who creates the order that the material will be automatically replaced. This should also take place if any of these customers are the ship-to party in the sales document. All other customers only receive the new material if they order it specifically. Once the stock of the old material has been used up, the new material can then automatically replace the old one in the sales document.

Figure 239: Material Determination -Condition Technique (6)
The condition technique provides more flexibility in modeling material determination and product selection. You can assign a material determination procedure to each sales document type. The procedure contains all of the Customizing information that the system needs for material determination. The procedure includes one or more defined condition types. One access sequence (search strategy) is assigned to each condition type. Each access sequence consists of one or more accesses.
Each access contains exactly one condition table. This represents the search key that the system uses to search for a valid master record.

You can use this function to check Customizing in detail and carry out a step-by-step search of the system. This helps you to recognize and correct any incorrect settings quickly and easily.
Hint: The analysis runs during material determination so it must be activated before you enter the items in the document.

Figure 241: Material Determination -Substitution Reason
If the system automatically replaces the old material because it is no longer available(~ automatic product selection), you can 1-e-execute substitution when you create a delivery. This is useful if the amount of available material changes between creating the order and the delivery. Depending on your settings in Customizing, the order confirmation can contain either the material that was ordered or the substitution material.

Lesson: Sales Workshop: Material Determination Scenario
Exercise 32: Sales Workshop: Material Determination Scenario Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
Define and assign a material determination procedure Define the material determination type and assign this Define access sequences and assign these Define condition tables and assign these.
Business Example Your company IDES sells computers and computer parts. You recently added some new products to your stock. It is your job to configure the sales and distribution model so that special
customers always receive a "new" product when they order the "old" one. All other customers >hould continue to receive the old product until stocks run out. Up until now, you have been using material determination with the standard Customizing settings that were delivered in your SAP system. In this exercise, you will change material determination to meet your new requirements.
Task 1: Material master record: Your monitor T-ATQ## is one of the most successful trading goods in the industry sector "Mechanical Engineering" and therefore, your company is constantly updating it. I.
Create a material master record for the new product T-ATR##. Use the previous model T-ATQ## as a reference. Maintain the following views:
- Basic data I and 2 -Sales 1 and 2 -Sales/General plant -Sales text - Purchasing
- MRP 1-4

Post 1000 units to the unrestricted-use stock (movement type: 561, Plant: 1200, Storage Location: 000 1).
Task 2: Condition table I.
In the condition table, you define the fields in the sales document whose data the SAP system should use to find a valid master record for material determination.
2.
Create the new condition table 6## so that you can use it for creating master records for material determination. The new condition table should allow you to create master records that are only effective for certain customers and materials. You want to be able to restrict the validity of the master records. Use condition table 002 as a reference.

Lesson: Sales Workshop: Material Determination Scenario
Condition table:
6##
Description:
Customer I Material##
Hint: Make sure that the material you want to enter appears as the last key field in the condition table. This means that the system checks the header fields first (for example, customer) and then the item fields in the condition table, which improves system performance. 3.
When you set up the condition table, you can determine what the screen for processing master records in the new condition table looks like.
For efficient maintenance of master records, you should be able to process the customer and material numbers in separate lines. 4.
Generate the new condition table. Hint: Create the new object in the Data Dictionary for development class $TMP. It is then a local object and cannot be transported.
5.
What information do you receive in the log?
Task 3: Access sequence The access sequence is the strategy used by the system to search for valid master records for a particular condition type. The access sequence contains one or more search steps (= accesses). Each access contains a condiTion wble which determines the key fields for the search. These are the document fields that the system uses to search for valid master records ..
Define a new access sequence containing three steps that the system can use to search for master records in material determination: I.
Was a master record stored for the material and the sold-to party?
2.
Was a master record stored for the material and the ship-to party?
3.
Was a master record stored for the material that substitutes the material depending on availability?
I.
Define the new access sequence.

3.
Branch to the fields in the condition table entered and look at the settings.
Hint: No condition is required. You can therefore skip the warning regarding the field assignment by pressing Enter. Which field in the sales document does the system use to determine the customer number?
4.
Substitution should take place in the second access ifthere is a valid master record for the ship-to party and entered material. Configure the access.
5.
In the third access (no.30 in the sequence), the system should only search for valid master records in material determination using the material entered. This is the standard setting in the SAP system. Check the fields in the access.
6.
Save the new access sequence. To do this, create a new workbench request

You will then receive an overview of delivery processes as part of Logistics Execution. The lesson discusses the use of the delivery document, the creation of a delivery document and the display of the delivery.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: understand the function and use of the delivery document, explain the structure of the delivery document and find information in the delivery document.
Business Example Your company creates inbound/outbound deliveries in procurement/sales processes
These documents are the basis for various goods receipt. shipping and warehouse activities.
To process the goods issues. the shipping employees require information such as the weight, transportation relevance, ship-to address and so on. The goods receipt is provided with information from suppliers on the basis of inbound deliveries. Inbound delivery activities are then processed using the inbound delivery. You also use the delivery document to process shipping activities if material is delivered to other plants within the company.

Figure 242: Goods receipt and goods issue processes
Logistics Execution is the application component for specific functions of executable logistics. Logistics Execution provides you with comprehensive functions required to map the execution of all logistical processes irrespective of industry or branch. It is basically a matter of more or less complex goods receipt and goods issue processes. Logistics Execution is the link between procurement and distribution, regardless of whether the processes involved are internal or relate to third-parties (vendors, customers, or service providers). Both materials produced in-house and those procured externally are put away and removed from storage using Warehouse Management, in order to supply the enterprise's own production or for delivery to retailers or end users. In this case, the underlying organizational structures may be quite complex: Logistics Execution uses separate organizational units and master data that are included in the system of the organizational structures in SAP ECC. You can use these structural elements to accurately map complicated business situations. There are two basic ways to map processes for goods receipts and goods issues in Logistics Execution: You can either create a delivery or place an Inventory Management posting (usually with reference to a preceding document) at the beginning of a process. The above overview juxtaposes the document flow and the technical posting procedure for both methods. If you work with deliveries. Warehouse Management activities (creating and confirming a transfer order) are completed before posting in Inventory Management. The goods receipt or goods issue posting always relates to the delivery. Note: The transfer order is the document used to execute all material -~·--.-~---.

Employees using other processes for buying and selling may also need to complete shipping activities such as picking, packing, and document printing, They can use the delivery documents for these activities too. Example: Stock transfer from plant to plant: The ordering plant creates a purchase order in purchasing; the delivering plant creates a deliver:· for this purchase order. Based on this delivery, the goods are picked, packed, and posted as a goods issue. The different business processes are modeled using different delivery types.

Inbound deliveries can be created with reference to purchase orders. You can do this using several purchase orders, entire purchase orders, or just partial quantities of purchase order items. The inbound delivery then serves as the basis for further activities, such as transfer order creation, placing in storage, packing and goods receipt posting.

Figure 245: The Shipping Process When talking. about deliveries. we often also refer to shipping or the shipping process. This describes outbound goods movements that usually refer to an order. The term shipping also refers to the department that is responisble for the logistical process of the delivery processing (picking, packing, loading). However, since you can also use the delivery document for other areas, when we refer to deliveries that refer to a sales document, we talk about outbound deliveries.

Figure 246: Structure of the Delivery Document A delivery document consists of a header and any number of items. The header contains data that applies for the entire document. This means that the ship-to party, shipping point. route, and so on, are clearly displayed for each outbound delivery. The individual items contain, above all, information about the material to be delivered. The information in the delivery document is displayed in different screens: The overview screen displays selected header and item data, which is grouped according to activity on tabstrips. This means that the important data is all located on one screen.
At both header and item level, you can access other screens to display detailed infonnation. Again, the infonnation is grouped into processes on tabstrips.
At header level. this information includes data on processing, picking, loading, shipment, foreign trade/customs, texts, partners, output, package monitoring, and conditions. At item level, the detailed screen displays similar tabstrips with information about the items.

Figure 247: Difference Between Outbound Delivery and Shipment
The delivery in the SAP system supports the processing of shipping or receiving activities in the warehouse and at the shipping point. The delivery itself simplifies transportation processing. This applies, for example, for shipping: Basically, each outbound delivery starts at a shipping point, continues via a route, and has a ship-to party as the destination. These criteria are header fields in the outbound delivery. For example, several outbound deliveries are to be loaded onto a truck and the truck is to d~liv.ergood£(o several_s.hipping points and ship-to parties along a particular "rQ!!te".

Lesson: Basic Organizational Units for the Delivery Process Lesson Overview This lesson will introduce you to the organizational units and structures that are most important for the shipping or goods receipt. These are basically shipping units. However, the delivery document is also the interface to Inventory Management and possibly Warehouse Management. For this reason, the organizational elements of these applications are also briefly described.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the organizational units relevant to shipping or goods receipt Define and assign the organizational units in the Implementation Guide
Business Example One of the first tasks in this project is to map the organizational structure in the company for shipping and the related areas. To do this, you need to define organizational units and set the links between them. Since. for example, the shipping of goods that require refrigeration bas very specific requirements in your company, you require a separate organizational unit for this.

Lesson: Basic Organizational Units for the Delivery Process
A _s!1ipping poin~is an independent organizational unit at a fixed location that processes and monitors outbound deliveries and goods issue. An outbound delivery is processed from a single shipping point. The responsible shipping point is determined in the order at item level. A shipping point can process the outbound deliveries of several plants. However, this is only useful ifthe plants are located in the same general vicinity. Several shipping points can be assigned to one plant with different loading equipment, different processing times, and so on. The allowed combinations of shipping point and plant are defined in the Customizing application of the enterprise structure. Another organizational unit in shipping is the loading point. It can be used to structure shipping. Loading points are defined in Customizing for Logistics Execution and are stored manually to the delivery document header. If desired, they can be included in the delivery output. Any number of loading points can be assigned to a shipping point. But only one shipping point can be assigned to a loading point. A shipping point may also be set as a goods receipt point, which means it can also be used for inbound deliveries. ·-··--···-..
Figure 249: Organizational Units in Inventory Management You can model the structure of a corporate group by using clients and company codes. A client is often synonymous with a corporate group, while a company code represents an independent accounting unit. Company codes are legally independent from one another.

The plant plays a central role in Inventory Management. A plant is a production facility or a location that handles material stock. It could also be a collection of several locations in one general vicinity with material stock, which are known as storage locations. Stock is managed at the level of the storage location. A plant is assigned to only one company code. In this way, you can manage stocks and stock values in the individual companies independently.

Lesson: Basic Organizational Units for the Delivery Process
In order to achieve efficient processing for goods receipt and goods issue in the warehouse, you can use the following organizational units: Warehouse number: The entire warehouse structure is managed under one
warehouse number. This number represents the warehouse complex. Storage type: The different warehouse areas, which differ from each other with regards to their organizational and technical features, are defined as storage types (for example, high-rack warehouse with random storage, picking warehouse with fixed bins, shipping area). Storage Section I Picking Area: The picking area groups storage bins together in the storage type from the picking viewpoint. It is the opposite of the storage section, which groups storage bins together from the putaway viewpoint. For example, a delivery can be split up into different picking areas to make parallel picking possible. Storage bin: The storage bin identifies the exact locatioh in the warehouse where goods are stored or can be stored. Staging area: The staging area is an area in the warehouse where the goods are stored immediately after unloading or shortly before loading. Door: A door within a warehouse can be used both for inbound delivery as well as outbound delivery of goods. The door and the staging area are already defined in the outbound delivery header. They can be determined automatically; for example, on the basis of the customer.

The connection of the organizational units in the warehouse to MM Inventory Management results from the assignment of the warehouse number to a combination of plant and storage location. Several storage locations within a plant can refer to the same warehouse number. As a result, they form the warehouse complex from the point of view oflnventory Management.

Lesson: Controlling Deliveries Lesson Overview This Jesson explains the basic settings in the delivery Customizing. You will get to know the delivery type and the delivery item category as elementary control objects.
Lesson Objectives After completing this Jesson, you will be able to: Give an overview of the standard delivery types Explain delivery control at header and item level Describe iiem category determination in outbound deliveries
Business Example In shipping and goods receipt, you map different business transactions using different delivery types, and you may therefore require separate delivery types for processing express deliveries, stock transfers, returns delivery, and so on. The different delivery types usually require different processing within shipping. For example, returns deliveries do not require any picking activities.

Lesson: Controlling Deliveries
The delivery type controls the entire delivery. You see the delivery type in the delivery header. The delivery types take into account the various business transactions in shipping and goods receipt processing. The delivety types defined in the standard system include: EL: Inbound delivery (shipping notification) LB: Delivery for subcontract order
LF: Outbound delivery
LO: Delivery without reference (no sales order necessary in order to create a delivery) LP: Delivery from project RE: Returns delivery NL: Replenishment delivery Using control elements, you can configure each delivery type to carry out different functions. You can adjust the delivery types in the standard system to meet your business requirements. However, if you require major adjustments, we recommend that you create a new delivery type.

Figure 253: Delivery Item Categories The delivery item category controls how the affected delivery items are handled and processed during the shipping or goods receipt process. The control elements available provide a high degree of automatic detennination and checking. You can also configure the item categories to meet the specific requirements of your
system installation.

Figure 254: Copying Item Categories from the Order
When you copy an order item to a delivery, the system copies the item category of the order item to the delivery item. If an order item or the schedule line assigned to it is relevant for delivery, you must define a corresponding item category for the delivery. You must do this under the same key as that of the order item.

If order items are delivered, the (order) item category that is determined in the sales document is transferred to the delivery item. In this way, to understand the delivery Customizing, it is impmiant that you know about the item category determination in the sales document. A maximum of four criteria may affect the process of determining the item category in the sales document: I. The sales document type of the order. When you create an order, the order type is usually determined by the decision of the employee who creates the order
2. The item category group. The item category group is defined for each material or for each material, sales organization and distribution channel. You can therefore use the material of the sales document item to influence the control(~ order item category) of the document item . . }. Item category usage. In connection with specific functions and/or processes of the program, the item category usage is set to a certain status in order to reach a very specific item control (~order item category) for these special functions or processes. The use of the item category usage to determine the order item category is therefore part of the basic programming. For the item category determination in the order, you can also define an item category usage in the customer material information master record.
4. Item category of higher-level item. If the sales document item is a subitem, the item category of this item is affected by the previously-detennined item category of the higher-level item. In Customizing, for a characteristic (for which there is a maximum of four criteria), you can define an item category as default for the automatic proposal and other item categories for manual usage.

Unit 22: Controlling Deliveries
No (order) item category is specified (or can be transferred) for order-independent items in the delivery (for example, packing material), for deliveries without reference to an order (delivery type LO), or for outbound deliveries (for example, delivery type EL for a purchase order). In this case, the system determines an item category for the delivery according to the assignments specified in Customizing. The item category determination in the delivery is very similar to the item category determination in the order. To determine the item category, the system takes imo account the delivery type and the item categor'y group (from the material master of the item concerned). Additional usages are set internally for some functions, such as: PACK for generating packing items CHSP for a batch split PSEL for product selection V for inbound deliveries for purchase orders This means that the system can determine a differem item category for the delivery items resulting from these functions.
....
Note: Usage: The determination of a usage is hard~. This means that they are located in the ongoing process of the program. You can use only a modification, and not Customizing, to change the determination. A usage can·oe specified in the customer-material info record. The item category determination considers this only in the order and not in the delivery.
Item category group The material master contains the field Item Category Group twice: A "generalltet;:J-C.a.~g£_~_gro_up" and an "'~ GrOJ.lp". The general item category group does not refer to the sales organization and distribution channel. This entry is used for inbounddeliveries. The other entry is used if the delivery contains a sales orga';ization and d_ie1dbution ~---~---·channel (for example, outbound deliveries). "---·--..•

Figure 257: Copying Control
In the copying control table you specify: Which sales and distribution document types can be copied to which delivery types Which item categories are copied from reference documents You can also specify: Under what conditions data is copied from the order to the outbound delivery Under what conditions several orders can be combined in an outbound delivery Which data is to be transferred Whether the reference should be recorded in the document 1low Order items that are due for delivery that have the same delivery split criteria are shipped together. If you select "ord_~Lc.oJ!lbJ'la1i()n", all of the orders or order items that are processed togetherTn the process of delivery creation are grouped together in a delivery if the order items match the delivery splitcriteria. Required delivery splitting criteria include, for example, the'shipplng j)Oint;t!Je.route, and the ship-to party. Certain delivery splitting criteria in the standard system are optional and can be removed as splitting criteria from the copying control table. You can also define additional splitting criteria that do not allow joint shipping if the defined fields have different values.

Figure 258: Shipping-Relevant Customizing in Sales
You conirol order types by specifying: Which delivery type is proposed for the outbound delivery Whether a requested delivery date is proposed in the order and how far it is in the future Whether the outbound delivery is automatically created in the background when the order is saved Delivery relevance on the order item category level is valid only for text or value items. You can set, for example, a text item as relevant for delivery so that it will be transferred to the outbound delivery from the standard order and is therefore available in the delivery document. Physical deliveries using the interface to the MM Inventory Management component are only possible if schedule lines are used. This is why in this standard case schedule lines must be allowed for the order item category, and the schedule line category must be set as relevant for delivery. The goods issue movement type (or goods receipt movement type for returns deliveries) is defined at the schedule line category level. These settings have certain effects: All delivery item categories must also be defined as item categories in Sales and Distribution, even item categories that are never found in sales documents. For example, DLN or ELN. Determination of a schedule line must be configured for all item categories in Sales and Distribution that do not have sales document category 7 as the delivery item category (inbound delivery/shipping notification) and for which a goods movement should be posted. Reason: the movement type comes from the transaction type. You can directly specify the movement type in Customizing only for delivery item categories that have the SO document category 7 (for example, the delivery item category ELN).

Figure 259: Customizing for the Order-Related Outbound Delivery
The delivery type controls the delivery document. The delivery type is located in the header of the delivery document. The delivery type of the delivery document is usually generated from the order type of the order ro be delivered. In the transaction "Create Outbound Delivery .. , you can define another delivery type for the delivery document. To use a delivery type within the order-related outbound delivery, the copy control must link the relevant order type to the required delivery types. To deliver order items, these must be relevant for delivery. For text and value items, the delivery relevance is defined for the order item category. For normal items, the delivery relevance is controlled at the level of the schedule line. In addition, you can define a movement type only for the schedule line category and this creates a connection to Inventory Management. As a result of this. schedule lines are permitted for standard items and the automatic determination of the schedule line category is configured. Another prerequisite for delivering order items is that each order item category for transferring to the required delivery type using the copy control is provided.
If order items are delivered, the item category that was previously defined using the order item is transferred to the delivery item. For delivery items that are dependent on the order type, you cannot transfer any item categories from the order. For the delivery items, item category determination occurs in the delivery.

Order Customizing
Delivery Customizing Manual Entry
I
Figure 260: Customizing of the Outbound Delivery Without Order Reference If you create deliveries without order reference, you must manually define the delivery type in the initial screen of the transaction "Create Outbound Delivery Without Order Reference... For the delivery process and for the billing that follows, the system must access the order Customizing. Since, the delivery without reference does not contain any concrete orders, a default order type is defined in the Customizing for the delivery type. The Customizing for this order type contains, for example, the default billing type for billing this delivery. As soon as you enter an item in the delivery without order reference, the system uses the item category determination to determine the item category for this item. There must always be a corresponding order item category for this delivery item category. This order item category decides whether this operation is relevant for billing and which billing procedure to use. To create a connection to Inventory Management for the delivery item, the system must allow schedule lines for the order item category. You can then use the schedule line category determination to determine a schedule line in the order. The movement type that is defined there controls the goods issue posting of the delivery item.

Purchase Order
Order Customizing
Figure 261: Customizing of the Inbound Delivery
If you create an inbound delivery with reference to a purchase order, the delivery type of the inbound delivery is detennined from the Customizing of the confinnation category. For this delivery type, the preceding document is defined as a purchase order. In addition, a default order type is defined for this delivery t) pe because order Customizing must be accessed for this process as well. The default order type is defined in the Customizing of the sales documents. The default order type uses the copy control "Order Type to Delivery Type" to transfer information from the purchase order to the delivery using the data transfer routine. In the delivery document, the system creates delivery items for the items of the purchase order. The delivery item category determination determines the item categories for these items. In this case, you work with the item usage V. A corresponding order item category must exist for this delivery order category so that the system can create a copying relationship between the order and delivery document at item-level. This copying relationship is used to provide data from the purchase order using the data transfer routine in the delivery. Since the delivery item categories are of the type SD document category 7 (inbound delivery/shipping nqtification), for the delivery item category, you can directly define the movement type for the goods receipt posting of the delivery item.

Unit 23: The Goods Issue Process Based on the Delivery
Lesson: Prerequisites for Creating Outbound Deliveries Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the basic functions of shipping. These functions are central to order processing but also provide important information for shipping. In particular, this concerns the outbound delivery plant determination, the shipping point determination, the route determination, the scheduling and the route schedule.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Explain the determination of the outbound delivery plant Describe shipping point determination Define route determination Configure the transportation scheduling and use the route schedule function.
Business Example You take the following into account when you configure the SAP system: Depending on the business process, you must determine ditTerent shipping points and routes. Different shipping activities require different levels of processing. These periods must be taken into account when determining shipping and transportation scheduling. For regular outbound deliveries, consider using SAP route schedules. "

If the system locates a customer material information master record and an outbound delivery plant is defined there, this plant is proposed with the highest priority for the order item. If no customer information master record exists or if no plant is maintained there, the system determines the outbound delivery plant from the ship-to parry master record. If no plant is maintained in the ship-tp party master record either, the system accesses the material master record. Shipping conditions

Figure 264: Shipping Point Determination
The responsible shipping point is determined for each order item. The system automatically proposes a shipping point that you can change within given limits. The shipping point depends on the following criteria: The delivering plant that is determined for each order item (from the customer-material info record, the ship-to party record, or the material master record) The shipping requirements (for example, express) contained in the "Shipping Conditions" field The required loading equipment contained in the "Loading Group" field in the material master The shipping condition is proposed from the sales document type if a shipping condition has been assigned to it. If not, the shipping condition is proposed from the master record of the sold-to party.

Lesson: Prerequisites for Creating Outbound Deliveries
An outbound delivery is always issued from one shipping point only. The shipping point cannot be changed in the outbound delivery. When an order is processed for delivery by the shipping point, the system only copies into the outbound delivery those order items that are defined for this shipping point. Order items with different shipping points are therefore not copied into the same outbound delivery.

You can redetermine the route in the outbound delivery based on the weight (weight group). The configuration of the delivery type determines whether the route is redetennined .

When you create an order, the system can determine the required material availability date based on the delivery date requested by the customer. The goods to be delivered must be available for shipping at this point in time. Scheduling takes into account the following times: Transit time: Time required to ship an outbound delivery to the ship-to party Loading time: Time required for loading the goods.
Pick/pack time: Time required for picking, packing, and so on Transportation lead time: Time required for organizing the transportation. The loadingtim" and pick/pack time come from the shiQRing_]J<>i!lt; the~~ time and the ·transportationpi(mning time come frc-m the route.

Figure 267: Forward Scheduling
First, the system performs backward scheduling in the order. If this results in a date in the past, the system automatically performs forward scheduling, which confirms a new delivery date. The same happens if the material is not available at the material availability date. When you create an outbound delivery you can carry out forward scheduling again. This is generally done when the material availability date determined in the order falls in the past at the time that the outbound delivery is created ("delay" when creating the outbound order). You can specify for each delivery type whether rescheduling should take place.

Figure 268: Precise and Daily Scheduling
In precise scheduling, the system calculates and displays the results of scheduling down to the minute. In daily scheduling, the system uses days, hours, and minutes for calculation, but only displays the resulting date. You can determine which scheduling logic the system should use for each shipping point. If you have maintained the working times of the shipping point, the system performs precise scheduling. The working hours of a shipping point consist of a calendar (which must agree with the factory calendar stored for the shipping point) and a shift sequence. The shift sequence defines the shifts for each week day, and the shifts define the times for starting and finishing work. In precise scheduling, pick/pack and loading times are specified in hours and minutes. The working times of the shipping point are taken into account during scheduling. The route is used to determine the transportation planning lead time. Precise scheduling uses the working times of the shipping point; daily scheduling uses the factory calendar of the shipping point. The route is also used to determine the transit time. Both types of scheduling use the factory calendar of the route to determine when the route is used.

Figure 269: Route Schedules
You can use a route schedule to organize outbound deliveries from a particular
shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customer or subsidiary companies) that occur regularly in the same sequence for a certain route. Route schedules can also be used as selection criteria for the individual steps in shipping processing. For example, you could pick all the deliveries that belong to the same route schedule together. You can use the delivery monitor to fonn a group
of deliveries. The route schedule generally contains: A route A weekday as the departure date, along with a departure time A list of ship-to parties (optional:) An itinerary. You can use route schedules in sales orders. stock transfer orders. and outbound deliveries. The system determines them automatically.
''!k- In Customizing, you define whether a route schedule should be assigned for each shipping point, order type, purchasing document type (and delivering plant), and delivery type. Details about the route schedule are provided inS~.

You can create an outbound delivery manually with or without reference to a particular order. However, if you create a delivery manually, you cannot deliver purchase orders or other requests. If you use collective processing (delivery list), you can deliver goods for all types of shipping documents. In this case. the system automatically creates multiple outbound deliveries. This can take place online or in the background (overnight, for instance).

Unit 23: The Goods Issue Process Based on the Delivery
The delivery due list is a worklist of all operations requiring deliveries. You use different criteria to select the documents to be delivered using collective processing. Then, the system automatically creates the outbound deliveries. If the shipping criteria (splitting criteria) are the same, the system combines the documents to form one outbound delivery as required (order combination). Alternatively, the system may split an operation into several outbound deliveries. You can model the different business processes for deliveries by using delivery scenarios. When you process the delivery due list, you just need to choose a scenario.

A delivery scenario models a business process for delivering the goods for orders that are due to ship. For example, a delivery scenario could let you complete deliveries for SD orders on an item-by-item basis. The delivery scenarios are already defined in SAP ECC. The requirements resulting from the delivery process are modeled using user roles (also called list profiles). They enable you to fine-tune your processing of the delivery due list. They let you control the scope of selection, the display of the delivery due list, the type of delivery, and so on. In the standard system, a user role is assigned to each delivery scenario. You can maintain the user roles in Customizing. If users always or frequently work with the same scenario, they can configure it to meet their personal requirements and use it as their default scenario (user-specific delivery scenario). The following parameters and values have to be defined for this:

Figure 273: Selecting and Displaying the Delivery Due List The different criteria for selecting documents due for delivery are displayed on tabstrips. The number oftabstrips and the selection criteria differ according to delivery scenario and user role. Users can define variants in their user-specific scenarios and thus create user-specific selection criteria. After you have made your selection. the system displays a list of all documents due for delivery that correspond to your selection criteria. The settings in the user role also affect how the list is displayed. Within the list, there are many SAP List Viewer functions available, such as sort, sum, and filter. From the list, you can create deliveries online or in the background and branch to the relevant documents. You can also change the display of the list while you are using it by accessing display variants.

Lesson: Creating and Processing Outbound Deliveries
An output is a communication tool that supports the exchange of information between you and your partners. Output can be sent from different objects (for example, an outbound delivery, a group of outbound deliveries, or a handling unit). For example: The delivery note and the packing list are created on the basis of the outbound delivery, and the freight list on the basis of a group of outbound deliveries. You can make output determination dependent upon different criteria. Here the condition technique provides you with flexible control options. With this technique, you transmit the features of the output: for example, How the output is sent (for example, printout, fax, ED!) When the output is created (send time) To whom the output is sent (partner/partner role) For print output: To which printer the output was sent In the outbound delivery, there is a distinction between header and item output. Header output refers to the entire document (for example, delivery note); item output can be created for each document item (for example, inspection certificate). For handling units, you can print, for example, labels or appendices. Sample forms are provided for output types in the standard system. You can adapt these to suit your own, company-specific requirements.

Unit 23: The Goods Issue Process Based on the Delivery
The outbound delivery monitor displays all deliveries that are still to be processed or that have been processed. There are numerous criteria for selecting the required documents. The system displays a list of the selected outbound deliveries, and you can perform subsequent functions from this list. This includes processing output types for shipping, such as the delivery note. You can also call up information in the delivery environment. You can define user-specific variants (selection variants or display variants) for selecting and displaying documents. You can also use the outbound delivery monitor to execute important follow-on functions in collective processing in the background (for example, the creation of transfer orders for picking, or the posting of goods issue). You can use the inbound delivery monitor to monitor and execute inbound · delivery activities in the same way.

Lesson: Creating and Processing Outbound Deliveries
Exercise 38: Creating and Processing Outbound Deliveries Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Define additional staging areas and set up door and staging area determination, Create several outbound deliveries at the same time using collective processing, Describe the criteria for order combination or delivery split, Check the settings for determination of the picking location, Display lists of outbound deliveries being processed.
Business Example Prior to goods issue. picked deliveries are to be stored temporarily on a customer-dependent basis in different staging areas in the goods issue area. They are then sent from specific doors. You only create a single outbound delivery specifically for a particular sales order in exceptional circumstances. For your daily operations, you automate your
processes and deliver matching orders together. To do this, you work with the worklist for shipping, which is called the deliYery list. When you commence the picking process, you should know from which storage location the goods are to be taken. For automatic storage location determination, both the physical storage criteria and material requirements for storage conditions play a role. During shipping processing, you often need an overview of the outbound deliveries that have been created. You also use lists and worklists for different shipping activities, such as picking, loading, or posting goods issue.
Task 1: Determination of Staging Area All deliveries for ship-to party T-L64A## are to be placed in one area in the goods issue area and are to leave your warehouse from one door. I.
In warehouse number 012, create a new staging area area## (50+11#) and assign door A I to it.

Lesson: Picking Outbound Deliveries
Lesson: Picking Outbound Deliveries Lesson Overview This lesson discusses picking in the SAP system. Picking is modeled in the SAP system using transfer orders. Therefore, this lesson focuses on creating and
processing these documents. In this context, you will also learn about Lean WM, its functions, and usage.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the picking process using transfer orders, Create transfer orders manually and using collective processing Confirm transfer orders
Business Example You take the following into- account when you configure the SAP system: In your company, you have a fixed storage bin from which the materials are picked. You need fo be able to print several outbound deliveries on one pick list, to enable simpler picking
Figure 279: Picking Picking is the process of preparing goods for delivery to the customer with special attention paid to dates, quantity, and quality.

Unit 24: Processes and Functions Based on the Delivery
A setting in the delivery item category determines whether an item is relevant for picking. Often, picking takes place using the printout of a picking list. SAP recommends that you use the Warehouse Management transfer order functions. For this purpose, you do not need to implement the complete WM system; Lean WM is sufficient. Using Lean Warehouse Management means using a small part of the functions provided by the Warehouse Management component. ~-
With the help of output control for the outbound delivery, you can also transmit data to a subsystem that is implemented for the picking process. In the standard configuration of the system, the prerequisite for posting goods issue is that picking-relevant items are completely picked. This means that the delivery quantity and the pick quantity in the outbound delivery must be the same.

Figure 280: Picking Process Usjng Warehouse Management/Lean Warehouse Management
To use WM in picking (either full WM or Lean WM). you create a transfer order (TO). The transfer order is a document with which the goods movements within a warehouse complex can be initiated and monitored. You create one or several
transfer orders on the basis of the items to be picked using WM. Afterwards, you print out the transfer order. This step can be executed automatically by the system.

2009
TSCM60
Lesson: Picking Outbound Deliveries
Instead of printing the transfer order as a picking list, you can transfer the data in the transfer order to an external system using portable data capture or to a warehouse control unit. By confirming the transfer order, you verifY the quantities removed from the warehouse. If you are working with a confirmation requirement, you must perform this step separately. If there is no confirmation requirement, the system automatically confirms the quantities when you create the transfer order. Then, you can post the goods issue. This completes the shipping process.

Figure 281: The Transfer Order
A transfer order is an instruction to move materials from a source storage bin to a destination storage bin withi;:;;~~;~el;;;~;se complex. Transport orders include the following information. Material number Quantity to be moved Source and destination storage bin When you create the transfer order, the system automatically copies the delivery quantity as the picking quantity from the outbound delivery to the transfer order. The picking quantity in the outbound delivery is entered automatically v.hen you create the transfer order. In Lean WM, the picking quantity is initially the same as the delivery quantity.

Figure 282: WM versus Lean Warehouse Management
If you have a warehouse with random storage, you need to use the WM system with full functionality. Since a material can be stored in different storage bins or even several storage bins at the same time, you must manage the storage bins in the system.
The Lean Warehouse Management does not manage the storage bins and is therefore more suitable for fixed bin storage. In a fixed bin storage area, a particular material is always in the same storage bin. To print the storage bin in the picking document, you simply have to maintain the respective data in the material master in the view "Storage 1". Maintenance of further warehouse data and the Warehouse Management views is not required. Some of the WM functions not included in Lean WM are: Storage sections Reserve storage bins Strategies for putaway and picking Replenishment Inventory at storage-bin level This considerably reduces the time needed for imple.mentation.

Figure 283: Modeling the Warehouse Structure in Lean WM Possible model of the warehouse structure of a fixed bin in the SAP system when using Lean WM. For Lean WM, you need at least one warehouse number and at least one storage type from which picking takes place. You also need one storage type in which goods are stored (for example, picking storage type as source storage type, shipping zone as destination storage type). In the picking storage area, you can have storage bins grouped together from the point of view of stock removal (for example, to distribute the workload evenly). Picking areas can be defined for each warehouse number and storage type. In addition to the picking area, there are other organizational units in the warehouse. These are the staging areas and the doors. They are defined in the outbound delivery or determined by the system and they can also be printed out on the picking documents. iv:.-(' -~0

Options for creating TOs
Options for printing TOs
Figure 284: Creating and Printing Transfer Orders
There are several ways of creating a transfer order (TO). They differ only in the degree of automation involved. In individual cases, you can create the transfer order as a follow-on function from wiihin the delivery. You can also create transfer orders explicitly. To do thfs, create the transfer order either with reference to a specific outbound delivery, or use the delivery monitor to create transfer orders for several deliveries at the same time. The "automatic/direct TO" procedure is suitable if you want to have the transfer order created automatically from each outbound delivery, without manual involvement or effort. Using the collective processing procedure, you can group several outbound deliveries together for the purpose of creating the transfer orders. In WM, you have the following options for printing using a print code: Single print: One page for each TO item (for example, item-by-item processing in the warehouse) Combined print: One list for the entire transfer order (also called "combined list") Pick list: One list for several transfer orders that were created in collective processing (also known as a "combined pick list")

Figure 285: Automatic/Direct Transfer Orders
If you do not want to issue the items of several outbound deliveries in one picking list, we recommend the automatic or direct creation of transfer orders. You initiate this processing type through the output control of the outbound delivery. With the condition technique, you can have the system determine output type 'VMTA at the header level of the ombound delivery when the delivery is being created. The prerequisite for this is that at least one item of the outbound delivery is relevant for WM. The combination "Delivery type/Shipping point" (first access) or "Delivery type" (second access) is responsible for determining the output in the standard system. The processing of output type WMTA triggers the creation of the transfer order. Depending on the send time of output type WMTA, you can have different processing types: Automatic transfer order creation: Time 1-3 (processing later) In this case. the output is either processed via a selection program in the background or manually using the transaction "Output from deliveries", which can also be planned in the background. During automatic transfer order creation, the output process is independent of outbound delivery creation. Direct transfer order creation: Time 4 (Processing Immediately} Here, processing is initiated immediately after outbound delivery creation.

Figure 286: Collective Processing in the Outbound Delivery Monitor
To optimize the picking process, you can also create a picking list for several outbound deliveries. This list is then sorted, for example, by storage bin or materiaL depending on the settings in Customizing. This simplifies to a considerable degree the actual search work for the picker in the warehouse. The prerequisite for creating the picking list is that the transfer orders have not already been created individually. Use the collective processing procedure to create these picking lists: First. from the outbound delivery monitor. select the outbound deliveries and create a group for them. Then, create the transfer orders with reference to the group. This creates a transfer order for each outbound delivery assigned to the group. Depending on the settings for print control, the picking list is printed automatically by the system or manually by the picker who calls up this function.

Figure 287: Differences in Picking Using Warehouse Management
In picking, differences may occur between the quantity actually removed and the delivery quantity. However, you can only post a goods issue if the picking quantity and delivery quantity are the same. One option is to copy the picking quantity as the delivery quantity and perform a partial deliver~·. In the order, the status is set to partially delivered, and a new delivery is created for the remaining items. Altematively, you can choose subsequent picking. In this case, you create a new transfer order for the difference.

Unit 24: Processes and Functions Based on the Delivery
When you create the transfer order, the system sets the delivery quantity as the picking quantity and the picking status is set to C (~ fully picked). If you wish to have the system record that the picking procedure is complete, you can set up the confirmation requirement. You must confirm the transfer order and therefore also the picked quantities before the goods issue is posted. If you have organized your warehouse so that picking causes changes to the outbound delivery in only a limited number of cases, and the confirmation takes place on time, you can limit this step to the deliveries to be changed and also work without the confirmation requirement.
During confirmation, it is possible to report differences in quantities. You can record the cause for the difference in the s?'stem by entering a difference indicator. As soon as confirmation is complete, the status of the WM activities is set to 'C', regardless of the confirmed quantity. Only the pick quantity affects the picking status. In Customizing, you define the confirmation requirement for each storage type. It is sufficient if you set either "stock removal" (picking) in the source storage type or "stock placement" (putaway) in the destination storage type as requiring confirmation.

Lesson: Picking Outbound Deliveries
Exercise 39: Picking of Outbound Deliveries Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: Use the WM system for picking in fixed bin storage areas (Lean WM), Locate the most important Customizing settings for Lean WM.
Business Example You have a warehouse in which the materials are always located at the same storage bin (fixed bin storage). For your picking activities, you need picking lists, which contain the items for picking and their storage location. In your shipping points, you pick for several deliveries at the same time to reduce the time employees spend finding and fetching items. To do this, you use collective processing to create the transfer orders. In your shipping points, the goods cannot leave your company without confirmation about the quantities found in the warehouse.
Task 1: Picking Using Lean WM You want to process activities quickly in your shipping point for refrigerated goods YIR#I. Therefore, when you create the outbound delivery, you immediately generate a list (combined print) of the materials and quantities to be picked. The goods in the warehouse are confirmed on the basis of this list. I.

Lesson: Packing Processes
Lesson: Packing Processes Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the packing functionality for Shipping in the SAP system. It provides an overview of this functionality, the data that has to be maintained in this context, and takes a look at Customizing for Packing.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Define the term "packaging
materials~',
Describe the process for multi-level packing in Sales and Distribution Create packing instructions and determination records for automatic packing Make the necessary settings for determining permitted packaging material Explain the different follow-on processes for packaging material
Business Example Your company must pack certain materials into cartons before goods issue. These cartons are then placed on pallets before being shipped. Individual materials have to be packed in specific cartons. You need a special label for each package. You also want to create a packing list for the entire outbound delivery. You bill the customer for special cartons. You use returnable packaging processing for the pallets.

Unit 24: Processes and Functions Based on the Delivery
Packaging materials are materials that can be used to pack or transport goods. To store packing information for an outbound deli\'ery in the system, you must first specify a packaging material. You must create material master records for the different packaging materials. You can use material type ~p for these materials in the standard system. In the material master, you define special data such as paeking weight and the volume permitted for each shipping material. You can also activate these fields for different material types.
Handling unit 2000000045
Figure 290: Handling Unit Selected items from an outbound delivery can be packed in an individual packaging type called a handling unit. The handling unit is assigned a unique sequential number from a predefined number range. The handling unit header contains information about the packaging material used in packing. The overview screen of the handling unit displays the quantities ofthe delivery items or other handling units. You can change or enhance the data proposed from the material master record of the packaging material to include additional information, such as a pallet number.

delivery
Figure 291: Packing Functions
Packing is the process of assigning delivery items to packaging materials. This produces handling units, which can then in turn be packed in additional packing materials.
This creates new handling units. You can use as many levels as required (multilevel packing). You can also unpack items from handling units, as well as emptying and deleting the handling units themselves. In Customizing, you specify whether each delivery item category is relevant for packing. The settings are: packing allowed (default), packing not allowed, packing mandatory. The packing status is updated for each item in the outbound delivery (example: partially packed I completely packed). As standard, two output types are set up for printing: packing Jist (at delivery level) Shipping label (at handling unit level) You can also define your own output types. Using the delivery item category. for items v.ith batch split. ;.ou can specifY if the main item (with the accumulated quantity ofthe batch split items) or the individual batch split items are to be packed. If the individual batch split items are packed, you can identify in which handling unit a specific batch is contained.

Figure 292: Packing in the Sales and Distribution Process
The packing function is available: In orders (as packing proposals) In the inbound delivery In the outbound delivery In the shipment document The packing proposal in the order can be copied to the outbound delivery. You control this at the header level in the copy control table for deliveries. You can make packing in the outbound delivery subject to certain conditions. To do this, you need to make settings in Customizing (standard setting: packing cannot be carried out when the delivery has been blocked by the credit check). You can change packing in the outbound delivery as long as you have not posted the goods issue. Packing in the outbound delivery is copied to the shipment. You can then choose to pack all the deliveries together. You can use user exits to specify rules for automatic packing during the creation of outbound deliveries. The resulting proposal contains the packaging materials and the contents of each handling unit. You activate automatic packing for each delivery type separately.

Figure 293: Packaging Material Types and Material Grouping for Packaging Materials
Similar packaging materials are grouped together in packaging material types. You can define controls in Customizing for each packaging material type. You can use these. for example, to specify the output determination procedure for output from handling units (such as shipping labels). The material grouping for packaging materials is used to group together materials that have similar packing requirements (for example, materials requiring the same packaging materials).

You can display the allowed packaging materials for a material to be packed. The packaging materials are proposed from the table "Allowed packaging materials for each material group" which you maintain in Customizing. The system checks whether the packaging material being used for packing is allowed. However, if the field Material Group: Packaging Materials has not been maintained in the material master, this material can be packed in any packaging material - depending on the weight and volume check.

Packing instructions can be used as packing proposals for online processing or as packing rules for automatic packing. Packing instruction determination is carried out using the condition technique, for which you must define a corresponding procedure and condition types. Three standard access sequences are provided for you to use when maintaining condition types. Automatic packing can be implemented using either packing instructions and/or a customer enhancement ("packing sessions").

The system generates an item
for packaging material - - - Item category group in packaging materials
Figure 298: Subsequent Processing for Packaging Materials
You may need to manage stock for packaging materials. To enable you to do this, the system can generate a separate item in the outbound delivery for each packaging material.
To automatically generate items for packaging materials:
You must set item category determination in Customizing. In this context, table entries with PACK usage are relevant. The delivering plant must be detennined using the plant determination rule in the packaging material type or must be entered manually. You can bill the customer for the packaging materials, or you can use relllrnable packaging materials that are not billed. In the former case, you must create the packaging materials in the material master record with item category group VERP. The item category determination procedure in the standard system determines item category DLN. These items can then be copied to the billing document. If you use returnable packaging materials, you must create them in the material master record with item category group LEIH (item category TAL is determined). When goods issue is posted, th~ materials are transferred to special stock for the customer (or a special stock partner; for example, the forwarding agent). These items will not be copied to the billing document. Note: In subsequent processing of returnable packaging, use order type returnable packaging pickup (LA) then returns delivery (RE). Or, ifthe packaging is kept by the customer, order type returnable packaging issue (LN) then billing.

Lesson: Goods Issue Lesson Overview This lesson describes the goods issue process. When the goods issue is posted, the shipping process is complete.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Post the goods issue Describe the effect that the goods issue posting has on Sales and Distribution, Materials Management, and Financial Accounting Cancel the goods issue posting Explain how to link Quality Management with the shipping process.
Business Example When the goods leave the plant, the shipping process is complete. The stocks are adjusted in terms of quantity and value. You can now create the billing document. 1fa goods issue is posted accidentally, you should have the option to cancel it. Some materials are subject to a quality check. You can only post the goods issue if the material passes the quality check.

Lesson: Goods Issue
Delivery 80003714 Goods issue
Figure 299: Goods Issue
Posting goods issue for an outbound delivery completes shipping activities. Posting goods issue requires that all mandatory shipping activities have been performed. For example, if you are working with picking relevance and continnation requirement, these steps must first be completed. Goods issue can be posted by changing a single outbound delivery. Alternatively. you can use the collective processing function in order to select all deliveries for which goods issue is due to be posted, and then post the goods issue tor them. You can also use the outbound delive•·y monitor to do this. You can also post the goods issue when the transfer order is confirmed. When you process a single outbound delivery, you can specifY the actual goods issue date without changing the planned date. A dialog box appears in which you can enter the actual goods issue date, and then post goods issue for this date. The corresponding goods issue document is then posted with the actual goods issue date. If no explicit specifications are made for the goods issue date, the current date is taken as the goods issue date. Goods issue applies to the entire outbound delivery.
Any errors are logged when, for example, data such as the batch or serial number is missing or when picking has not been carried out fully for the items. In these cases, goods issue is not posted.

Figure 301: Canceling Goods Issue
If goods issue for an outbound delivery is canceled, the goods issue posting is reset. The system copies the quantities and values from the original goods issue document and carries out an inventory posting based on these quantities and values with a reversed +/-sign. If you cancel goods issue. this affects the entire outbound delivery. The cancellation document created during cancellation is entered in the document flow for the outbound delivery. After goods issue has been canceled, the goods movement status of the outbound delivery is reset to "Not yet started". This allows you to further process the outbound delivery as usual. The delivery requirements are also recreated. Canceling goods issue comprises two steps if the outbound delivery has been fully or partially billed. In this case you must first cancel the billing document. Then you can cancel goods issue. For each movement type in Inventory Management, you must define a reversal movement type in Customizing. No additional settings are required for the movement types used for goods issue posting in the standard system.

Figure 303: QM in Shipping
The Quality Management (QM) component supports Sales and Distribution with quality inspections for goods issues (for example, packing inspections). You specify in the Quality Management view of the material master if a quality inspection is to be carried out for the materiaL When the outbound delivery is created in SD, QM automatically creates an inspection lot for the delivery items that are relevant for inspection. The inspection lot tells the quality assurance department that the goods need to be inspected. The result of the inspection can be stored in the system in different ways. If the goods are damaged. defect records can be entered. Measured values or evaluation codes are stored as characteristic values. You plan the type and procedure used by the inspection in the QM master data. The usage decision represents the completion of a QM inspection. This is where the inspected goods are either accepted for further use or are rejected. This is called "accepting" or "rejecting" an inspection lot. Depending on the customer, or on the customer and the material together, you can specifY if the inspection log must be accepted before goods issue can be posted. If it must not be accepted, the quality assurance depa1tment can submit the inspection results after goods issue posting. You initiate printing of a certificate of quality from output control of the outbound delivery at item leveL This function is primarily used for materials that are handled in batches.

Lesson: Special Functions for Processing Deliveries
Lesson: Special Functions for Processing Deliveries Lesson Overview This unit provides an overview of further functions that can be executed in
conjunction with outbound deliveries. In particular, handling shipping processes using batches and serial numbers will be explained. In addition, this chapter provides information about using conditions in the outbound delivery, the "Subsequent Delivery Split" and the proof of delivery.
'.m ·-
">v:y,Y
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Explain how batches can be specified in the outbound delivery Demonstrate serial number assignment in the outbound delivery Use pricing in the outbound delivery Split an existing delivery into several smaller deliveries, Understand the process of the proof of delivery.
Business Example In your company, batches have to be used for certain materials. You need
to specify from which batch the material was selected by the time of the outbound delivery. Other materials have serial numbers, which you also need to record at the time of outbound delivery and enter in the system. It is often necessary to record shipping costs, such as packing and postage costs, in the delivery document. During loading, if you notice that a delivery does not fit into a truck, you have to split it into several smaller deliveries. You have arranged with some of your customers that they confirm the receipt of the delivery. You only create the billing document when you have received this confirmation.

Figure 305: Serial numbers You can assign a unique serial number to each material. This allows you to monitor goods movement for individual materials; for example, when selling materials to a customer. Using serial numbers you can also manage the maintenance of individual materials more easily in the system, if equipment master records exist for these materials. To use serial numbers, enter serial number profiles in the master record for
the relevant materials. Serial numbers are usually specified in the delivery item. However. you can also define them in the order. You can also have the serial numbers assigned automatically by the system. You must specify ail serial numbers before posting goods issue.

Unit 24: Processes and Functions Based on the Delivery
TSCM60
The outbound delivery may contain shipping-related conditions, such as shipping or freight costs (if you are not using the Transportation module). You can enter the condition values manually or determine them using the SD pricing condition technique. You can print the conditions on the delivery note as well as transfer them in the billing document, but you cannot transfer them from the preceding documents to the outbound delivery. To implement the conditions, use the standard Customizing settings for pricing (condition type definition, maintaining the pricing procedure). Assign the pricing procedure to the delivery type.
Figure 307: Splitting an Existing Delivery
You can split an existing delivery into several smaller deliveries, which is useful if, for exat;;pi'e, there is not enough room in your truck to hold the entire delivery. To do this, you can call up a list and select the outbound delivery items, partial quantities of items, or handling units that are to be taken out of existing deliveries. When you split a delivery, you create one or more new deliveries, called "results", and the "remainder". ..,....--=,_,.._
When you call the delivery split, specifY a splitpr0file to determine' the "type" of split. The split profiles contain control parameters. They are defined in Customizing, and assigned to delivery types.

DELVRY02/DELVRY03 Figure 308: Delivery Interface Communication Scenarios
If business partners are involved in the shipping process, or some functions are performed by non-SAP systems, you need to exchange information with these other parties. Normally, electronic data interchange (ED!) messages are used for extemal communication, and Application Link Enabling (ALE) messages are used for internal communication. The delivery interface groups together all ED! and ALE messages that refer to the delivery. They are all based on the same !Doc (DELVRY02 (4.6A), DELVRY03 (4.6B)). DELVRY02 and DELVRY03 are data structures that consist of segments and contain the fields for the delivery and other fields relevant for shipping, such as route and batch characteristics (see the Appendix for more information). Output control of the delivery at header level triggers the filling of the !Doc fields. The system provides appropriate message types for the communication scenarios represented in the standard system.

Figure 309: Log of Incomplete Items When you call up the log of incomplete items. the system checks if the data in the outbound delivery is complete. From the generated list, you can branch directly to the screen for maintaining the incomplete fields. You can call the log of incomplete items from delivery processing, or select incomplete delivery documents using a special report. This creates a worklist of documents requiring processing. In the outbound delivery, the system can check completeness at both header and item leveL In Customizing, you can control which fields, if not entered, cause an outbound delivery to be incomplete and which effects this has on follow-on activities such as picking, packing, goods issue, and billing (for example, packing may be not allowed if the volume in the item is missing). The selection of the fields that cause a delivery to be incomplete depends on the delivery type and the delivery item category. In addition, you can set partner functions and texts as "Required" by using the corresponding Customizing functions. If specifications for a required partner function are missing in the document or if a required text does not exist, a note is entered in the log of incomplete items.

Figure 310: Proof of delivery (POD)
Proof of delivery (POD) is essentially designed to support the process of only creating an invoice once the customer has confirmed the arrival of the materials. After receiving the goods, the ship-to party transfers the proof of delivery by !Doc to the R/3 System and thereby confirms the quantities for the whole delivery. In most cases for which there are no discrepancies of quantity. this involves no extra effort, because verification and confirmation are automated using the !Doc. If differences are reported, the de!ivety cannot automatically be confirmed. In this case. you must continue processing manually.
You can use worklists for processing documents in conjunction with POD- the "Outbound deliveries for POD worklist" and the "Subsequent processing for POD" worklist. The system creates the billing document based on the correct (verified) quantity. Creating the billing document via the billing due list is blocked until proof of delivery has been confirmed.
JIP'>
~
Before you can use the proof of delivery function, you need to define which delivery item categories are relevant for the POD process. You also need to define rea~£11S for deviation, and in the customer master you are using for the POD process, specify POD relevance. You can analyze deviation quantities and reasons for deviation (where, when, and why do the deviations occur?).

Lesson: Logon and Screen Design Lesson Overview In this lesson, you will learn how to log on to the system and learn the meaning of the different screen elements of the SAP G Ul.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Log on to the system successfully List and use the elements of an SAP GUI screen Log off successfully from the system
Business Example You want to know how a user logs on to an SAP system and what uses the various SAP GUI screen elements have.
Logging on to the System The presentation interface, the SAP Graphical User Inteiface (SAP GUJ), enables the user to interact with the SAP system and enter or display data. The SAP GUI is the standard access for almost every SAP solution. Specially configured front-end programs can be used to access certain SAP systems. This means that the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) for example, has Business Explorer (BEx) as a specific front-end. The SAP GUJ implements the graphical user interface using the functions provided by the relevant presentation environment. SAP GUI is based on the Windows Style Guide and is available for several platforms, providing the same functions for each. If you learned to use SAP GUIon one platfonn, you can use the system on another platform exactly the same as before, with the exception of a few small platform-specific GUI attributes. The following types of SAP GUJ are available: SAP GUI for the Windows environment •
SAP GU!for the Java environment SAP GU!for HTML
For the sake of simplicity, further descriptions refer to the SAP GU! for the Windows environment. The SAP GU!program connects the computer (desktop or laptop) with a particular SAP system. SAP provides an additional program for logging on to an SAP system: SAP Logon. ·

Lesson: Logon and Screen Design
Figure 312: SAP Logon
After starting SAP Logon you will see a list of SAP systems from which you select the system you want to log on to. This list originates from a file on the frontend: saplogon.ini. This file is typically preconfigured centrally and made available to end users. The SAP Logon program enables a '"logon load distribution·· of the resources made available by the selected system when you log on.
Figure 313: Logon Screen of an SAP System
Once you have started the logon process for a system, you must enter, among other things, your user and password on the logon screen of the selected system. You also have the option of specifYing a particular client and a logon language when you log on; the client is usually already filled appropriately. If you use single sign-on (SSO), you do not have to make these entries.

Unit 25: Navigation
User User data is stored in the system according to client. For example, you can log on to client I 00 in your system, but not have a user for client 200. The data for a user within a client is also known as the "user master record". Password The first time you log on to the system, you will receive an initial password from your system administrator. During your first logon, you must specify your own individual password. After this, you use this password every time you log on. (In the event that your company operates a different procedure, contact your system administrator.) On the logon screen, you can use the New Password button to change your password up to once a day.
Client As a rule, the client represents a company in an SAP system. This means that in an SAP system with several clients, several companies can be represented at the same time. The client has an equivalent as a key field in the tables of the database used by the SAP system. After you log on to a client, you can access data for that client only. Clients represent business-independent entities. Language When you log on, you can select one of the logon languages that the system supports. Installed SAP systems can support many languages, which always include at least English and one other selected language. The number of installed languages determine which languages are supported by your system. You can log on to an SAP system more than once with a user. Note however, that multiple logons are logged as of SAP Rl3 Release 4.6. This is for security and licensing reasons. For a second logon and each additional logon with the same user ID, an information message appears, suggesting three options: Terminate this logon. Continue with this logon without ending any other logons to the system. This will be logged in the system. Continue with this logon and end any other logons in the system. If you want to use additional processing windows, you can work in several sessions (processing window of the SAP system) simultaneously wiihin one logon. With the system parameter, your system administrator can specify how many sessions are possible for one logon to an SAP system.
Hint: This parameter rdisp/max_alt_modes can be set to values between one and nine; six windows is the standard setting. The parameter cannot be user-specific, but rather it is valid for all users in the system.

Lesson: Logon and Screen Design
The system administrator can insert additional text on the logon screen. See SAP Note 205487 for details. Hint: SAP Notes provide further information about particular functions or provide corrections for known errors in SAP products. You can access SAP Notes through the SAP Service Marketplace on the Internet (for example) by using a valid user and password: http://service.sap.com/notes After logging on successfully, you will reach the initial screen of the SAP system, the SAP Easy Access screen.
Screen layout The SAP Easy Access screen is the standard initial screen in SAP systems. In the left screen area, you will see a tree hierarchy diagram of ihe menus available in the SAP system and in the right screen area, you can display a logo. This logo is made available centrally by your system administration, and cannot be set by the individual users.
Figure 314: SAP Easy Access
For details about the configuration of the logo on the SAP Easy Access screen (assuming you have the corresponding authorization), choose Extras --> Administration information. Note that the screen is defined in the system and is transported to the desktop or laptop computer at every logon. The data is compressed when transferred, however the initial logo should be no larger than 20 KB. You can also prevent the system from opening this screen, either by selecting "Low Speed Connection" in the SAP Logon program (see SAP Note 161 053) or by choosing Extras --> Sellings.

Lesson: Logon and Screen Design
An SAP screen contains screen elements such as:
command field: You can select applications directly by entering the transaction code in the command field. You can determine the transaction code of an application either in the overview tree of the SAP Easy Access screen, in the status bar (see below) of the application, or when you are in the respective application under System ->Status. The command field can be displayed or hidden. Menu Bar: The menu bar is the upper line of each screen in the SAP system. The menus displayed here are dependent on the patiicular application currently in use. Standard Toolbar: The buttons on the standard tool bar are available on every SAP screen layout. The buttons that cannot be used, depending on the application, are grayed out. If you hover the pointer over a button for a moment, a small flag called a Quick-Info appears with the Aame or meaning of the respective button. You can also see the corresponding function key setting. Title Bar: The title bar names the function that is currently displayed. Application Toolbar: Here you can see the buttons that can be used in the current application. Checkboxes: Checkboxes allow you to select several options from a group of fields. Radio Buttons: You can only select one option at a time. Tab I Tab Page: Tabs combine multiple entry screens of an application on one screen. You access individual tab pages by clicking on the page title. Status Bar: The status bar shows information about the current system status; for example, warnings and errors. Here you can also display the transaction code of your current application using the corresponding display selection. Other screen elements include input fields and buttons.
Log Off You can log off from any screen of the SAP system. You have various options for doing so, such as: From the menu bar, choose System
->
Log Off
If you have only opened one session choose Q) from the system tool bar or
Eil from the top right of the menu list.

Lesson: Selecting Functions and Personalizations Lesson Overview In this lesson, you will Jearn the difference between the SAP menu, the role-based user menu, and favorites. After this, various ways of selecting functions in SAP systems will be discussed.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Create favorites Start the functions of SAP systems in different ways Describe the standard menus System and Help Use various options for personalizing the SAP system
Business Example You want to know how the navigation area is structured in an SAP system and how you can start functions in an SAP system.
SAP Menu, User Menu, Favorites After you have logged on, you can use the overview tree structure on the left hand side of the screen (iVavigation Area) for selecting functions. This structure is divided into Favorites and SAP Menu, or Favorites and Role-Based ser Menu. The entries in the favorites area are created by the user. The entries in the SAP menu or in the user menu are specified centrally by the system administrator.

Lesson: Selecting Functions and Personalizations
Figure 316: List of Favorites and Role-Based User Menu
User Menu and Favorites The user menu is a menu that contains a limited selection of task-specific functions. It represents the working environment of a user. It can consist of transactions. reports, and Internet addresses. The user menu is created by the system administrator in the context of roles for user groups. When a user is assigned to a role, he/she can work with their respective user menu and the authorizations linked to it in the SAP system. Depending on the system settings, you can switch between a role-based user menu and an SAP menu. To do so, from the menu bar on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Menu -> SAP Menu or Menu
~
User Jvfenu.
You can also use the functions in the favorites area located next to the SAP menu or the user menu. The favorites list is empty to start with, but can be changed individually by each end user; the data in the favorites list is then visible only for this user. In addition to transactions, the end user can store links to Internet addresses and data from their front-end computer as favorites. An improved structure can be achieved by organizing the favorites into separate folders. You can also change the names of favorites and delete favorites from the list.

You have various options for editing favorites. Generally, you can edit the favorites on the SAP Easy Access screen under the menu Favorites. The various options are shown in the example "Add transaction from the SAP menu to the favorites list". (With the exception of the last variant, it is always assumed that the menu tree is open until the desired transaction.) Use Drag & Drop to drag the transaction to the favorites list. Select the transaction, and from the menu bar, choose Favorites-> Add. Click the transaction with the right mouse button and choose Add to favorites from the context menu. Select the transaction and choose &l.4dd to favorites from the application tool bar. From the menu bar, choose Favorites ----+Insert Transaction and enter the transaction code of the transaction. Because the data for the favorites is stored within the SAP system, another collection of favorites is available to each user in different systems. It is, however, simple to copy complete favorites menus from one SAP system to another by downloading and uploading. The downloaded favorites menus are stored for further processing in the front-end PC.
"System" and "Help" Menus Both the System and Help menus are available on every screen of an SAP system in the same layout.

If the command field is ready for input, you can use the Fl field help (icon on screen or function key Fl on keyboard) to display possible entries for this field. The following entries are possible:
In to end the current transaction /nXXXX to start transaction XXXX from another transaction. Without the /n prefix, you can start transaction XXXX only from the SAP Easy Access. /o to display a list of your own sessions. /oXXXX to start transaction XXXX from another transaction in a new session.
/nend to log off a session with a confirmation prompt. /ncx to end a logon session without a confirmation prompt. /i to delete the current active session. You can find the transaction code XXXX for an application either in the overview menu on the SAP Easy Access screen, in the status bar, or in the respective application under System ->Status. Note: As an exception, do not use the F4 help on the command field to see the input help. The F4 help of the command field only lists the last 15 different entries in the command field. This list can be found in the registry on the user's computer and is valid for all sessions (independently of the system used). Note: By entering search_ sap_menu or search_user_menu in the command field, you can search the SAP standard menu or your user menu respectively for any string or transaction code. As a result, you will see a list of all hits that show how you can reach the functions found via the menu or the transaction code.
Personalization of the User Interface The system provides you with a range of personalization options. Among other things. you can:
influence the appearance of the SAP Easy Access initial screen. adjust the Local Layout preset user-specific parameters

Prepopulating Parameters You can make personal presettings under System --> User Profile--> Own Data. You can do this on the Address, Defaults, and Parameters tab pages.
Hint: You can prepopulate frequently-used input fields with default values using parameters. A prerequisite for this, however, is that a parameter ID has been assigned to the relevant input field. To find a parameter ID, place the cursor in the input field to be prepopulated, select
I;s
the Fl help, and then choose Technicalhiformation. A dialog box will then open up, showing the relevant parameter ID under Field data (provided that a parameter ID has been assigned to the field). You take this parameter ID (for example, "BUK") for the company code and assign the desired value to it in your user presettings on the Paramelers tab page. In consequence, all fields whose parameter ID references BUK will be prepopulated with the value you specified.

The information stored there not only describes the use of system functions but also explains system architecture concepts, gives examples of sensible configurations of a wide variety of processes, and warns you of possible user errors and their consequences. In addition, the online documentation often contains tips and tricks to facilitate and accelerate your everyday work in the system.

Figure 342: Authorization Objects -Sales Activities
There is exactly one authorization object per sales activity that contains both the sales activity type as well as the following organizational units: Sales organization, Distribution Channel, Division, Sales Office and Sales Group. You can maintain the authorization objects tor the CAS sales activity in the Sales and Distribution authorization class. A particular enhancement for maintenance of authorization objects is available in the Sales Support area. Even if an authorization object has no authorization, you can still grant maintenance or display authorization to certain employees for individual transactions. In Customizing, assign the special function for the personnel partner type and the permitted activity to the sales activity. If an employee is stored as a pat1ner with this specified role in the sales activity, he or she can then implement the activities defined here. In this way you can define, for example, that the Key Account Manager displays all the customer sales activities, for which he or she is maintained as the responsible employee. This is possible even though the employee does not have authorization for processing documents in the corresponding organizational units.
Hint: You can make the assignment between employee and partner number in the personal master data. Here you can assign an SAP User ID to a personnel number.

Lesson: Appendix: Additional Topics
Lesson: Appendix: Additional Topics Lesson Overview This lesson looks at a few additional topics in the area of delivery blocks and contracts.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Control delivery blocks Set up group master contracts Set up cancellation rules for contracts.
Business Example
e
.
.
Figure 344: Delivery Block Delivery blocks are used to remove certain procedures from the normal business process for certain reasons (such as political instability, insufficient stock, payment difficulties) and prevent any further automatic processing. This means that the process stops until the employee responsible can clarify the situation and decide on what to do, at which point he or she can deactivate the delivery block manually. You can define delivery blocks in sales documents at header, item, or schedule line level. The block at item level represents a default value for the schedule line(s) of that item.
2009
© 2009 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
941~
TSCM60
Unit 26: Appendix
You can also set delivery blocks directly in sales document types or schedule line categories. When you create sales documents, the corresponding blocks are then set automatically at header or schedule line level. Customizing the blocking reasons in shipping (transactions OVLS, OVLX) controls the effect of the delivery blocks. At header level, you can control whether the blocking reason prevents you from creating a delivery at all or whether certain steps in the sales process are blocked. The delivery of sales documents that are blocked at header level is only prevented when the blocking reason is assigned to the delivery type in Customizing (transaction OVLX). If no assignment is defined, the delivery may be created. The blocking reason then has different effects on the various steps in the sales process. The settings in transaction OVLS determine which individual steps are affected: (Block: Sales Order/ Picking/ Requirement/ Goods Issue/ Print/ Delivery Due). In contrast, a block set at the schedule line level always blocks that schedule line for delivel)', regardless of the controls described above.
Figure 345: Cancellation
Contracts are frequently extended beyond the original contract duration if one of the contract partners has not cancelled it beforehand. Example: The contract begins on April 01. On October 01, the customer gives notice to cancel for November 01. However, because the contract cannot be cancelled before the end of its first year, the system issues a warning. You should accept the next possible cancellation date or enter a different one manually. For processing the cancellation of regularly extended contracts, you can define a cancellation procedure that contains one or more cancellation rules. The cancellation procedure can be stored in the contract profile and therefore controlled as a default value in new contracts.

Lesson: Appendix: Additional Topics
e . .
Figure 346: Customizing for Cancellations
You can define cancellation rules to meet your requirements. They contain the date rule for detennining the cancellation date, cancellation notice period and the validity period for the rule. Example: In the example above, the customer can cancel the contract within one week. Within this period, he or she can cancel it on a daily basis (that is, at any point in the week). Another cancellation rule could detennine that the cancellation has to take place annually with a notice period of three months before the next cancellation date.

Figure 347: Grouping Contracts
In companies that use a substantial number of contracts for their business, several contracts will often be subject to the same business requirements. You can store these requirements in a master contract and link it to lower-level contracts. The master contract contains general conditions that are valid for all the lower-level contracts that refer to it. This ensures that the general data in all the lower-level contracts is consistent. In the standard system, sales document type GK is set up as the master contract. The group contract only contains header data. It therefore contains no items. You can use fields from tables in the document header (VBAK), business data (VBKD), partner data (VBPA), contract data (VEDA) and the data from the billing plan header (FPLA). The group master contract displays a list of all links to lower-level contracts. From this list you can then get to the individual lower-level contracts. If you activate the "Update lower-level contract" field in Customizing for master contracts, any changes in your master contract are immediately copied into the lower-level contracts. This triggers a workflow that accesses all the individual lower-level contracts. If any errors occur, the person who changed the master contract receives a workitem for manual processing.

Header fields are copied
contract:
according to the referencing procedure
Figure 348: Grouping Contracts - Lower-Level Contracts
The lower-level contract is a standard document that contains a reference to the master contract.
When you enter the document number in the master contract field, a link is created to the lower-level contract. The link means that the system copies all the relevant fields (set in Customizing) from the master contract to the current !ower-level contract. You can control which fields and contract types are permitted for the link in the referencing requirements. Each time an entry is confirmed, the system checks the reference between the master and lower-level contracts with the rules defined in Customizing for the individual fields.

Unit 26: Appendix
Customizing for master contracts takes place in two steps: I.
2.
Define which contract types are permitted as lower-level contracts for the master contract. For example, you can configure the settings so that only maintenance contracts can link to master contract MC. Define and configure all the fields needed for the reference in the referencing procedure. For each field, choose one of the three following rules:
Rule A - Unique field The link is only possible if the fields in the master and lower-level contracts are identical.
Rule B- Copying field The system copies the values in these fields from the master contract to the lower-level field. Different values in the lower-level contract are not permitted.
Rule C- Default field These fields are only copied from the master contract to the referenced lower-level fields if the data agreed before the master contract was changed. They can be overwritten in the lower-level contract. You can activate a message for each field in the referencing procedure that informs you in the lower-level contract of any changes caused by changes in the master contract. In Customizing for contracts, you can activate the function "Message: Master contractu.

Delivery Interface and Communication Scenarios
Figure 350: Structure of the DELVRY03 Delivery Interface
The DELVRY02 delivery interface consists of different segments containing information from the delivery header, the delivery item, and the shipping units. DELVRY02 (Release 4.6A) has more segments than DELVRYOl (Release 4.0), which contain dangerous goods data at header and item level. DELVRY03 (Release 4.6B) also contains segments for the external release number, data on the express delivery company, tracking data, and the repacking of shipping units.

Figure 351: Communication Scenarios
The delivery interface groups the ALE and ED! outputs with reference to the delivery. In this case, EDI messages are generally used for external communication and ALE message for internal communication. The following messages are defined in the standard system: Sending a shipping notification (DESADV, outbound ED!) Informing the forwarding agent (CARNOT, outbound ED!) Shipping order to warehousing contractor (SHPORD, outbound ED!) Shipping confirmation from service agent (Sl-IPCON, inbound ED!) Warehouse order to internal warehouse (WHSORD, outbound ALE) Warehouse verification from internal warehouse (WHSCON, inbound ALE) Proof of delivery (STPPOD, outbound, ED!) Proof of delivery (STPPOD, inbound, ED!)
