Sales Order Processing and Subsequent Functions



[pic] Sales Order Processing and Subsequent Functions [pic]

Purpose

Business transactions in sales and distribution area are recorded in the R/3 System using sales documents. The sales order is the central document in sales and distribution. A sales order can be created on the basis of a preceding inquiry (or quote). During order entry, information about the customer and the products or services to be delivered is recorded in the document. Various checks are performed, such as the availability of material and the customer’s credit limit. The information entered in the sales order is transferred to subsequent documents, which are used to further process the business transaction. The delivery document is the basis for the shipping activities. When shipping (good issuing) has been completed, the delivered goods and/or the services rendered are invoiced during the billing process. The billing data are then forwarded automatically to Financial Accounting and Profitability Analysis. Finally, the recording of customer payment would be completed upon receipt of a customer’s check. In this exercise the organization that you work for will sell a product to a company in Berlin. Keep in mind that all of the steps in selling and delivering the product, billing, paying for the product and, of course accounting for all of these activities are parts of this process.
