This scenario describes the entire process chain for a standard sales process with a customer. The business process
encompasses all steps from creating an order (optionally based on a quotation), creation of a delivery, to the billing
procedure.
A sales document is created in order processing, partially based on a Quotation. In delivery processing the delivery is
created, the goods are picked, packed, shipped and the goods issue is posted. In the billing process that follows, an
invoice is created and released to financial accounting. The Incoming payment is documented in payment processing
and then posted in financials.
1.2.
This demo addresses the wholesale department users as well as stakeholders in the wholesale processing.
1.3.
The key people in this process are the Sales Employee & the Customer.

In the example below there are USD 573,92 left for a new Sales Orders until the credit limit will be exceeded. If
necessary, adjust the data to your needs (the amount in the Sales Order to be created should exceed the credit limit left in
order to generate a credit limit block).
2.4.1.3.
Product Allocation
Product allocation is a function provided by the SAP ERP system for carrying out a precise planning and controlling
mechanism of timely delivery to the customer of the required order quantity. It should avoid critical requirement and
procurement situations.
Product allocations can be created according to various criteria (i.e., customer, regions). Within this scenario the product
allocation hierarchy is created on the level of sales organisation and customer. The planning hierarchies for product
allocations are created in logistics controlling. If the correct settings have been made in Customizing, the system carries
out an availability check against the ATP quantity during order entry. The confirmed quantity of the ATP check is the basis
for the availability check against product allocation. This ensures, for example, that when the tsock level is low, the first
customer does not get the full amount, resulting in following sales orders not being confirmed or being confirmed far too
late.
The confirmed quantity from the ATP check is checked against the relevant product allocation. This ensures that the
product allocation for this period is not exceeded. Required quantities that cannot be confirmed, because the product
allocation for that period is used up, are postponed until the next period.
In order to demonstrate the split of the ordered quantity to different periods and to make the process repeatable it has to
be checked within transaction MC94 if there are already any incoming order quantities in the planning version which is
responsible for product allocation (inactive version 000).
If material W40002 with product allocation should be used, the planning data needs to be checked and adjusted.
To change an existing planning version for product allocation (inactive version 000) please follow the menu path:
Logistics Logistics Controlling Flexible Planning Planning Change (MC94)
Just in case the version mentioned above does not exist anymore, the data needs to be created via
transaction MC93 or the appropriate menu path.
Enter the following data to define the new version and push Enter:

3.1.
STORY FLOW
Effective sales order processing links all consumer products activities in a chain of closely integrated processes. The
Sales and Distribution (SD) component which generates a kind of workflow for the SD department based on linked
documents, makes effective sales order processing possible.
The Sales and Distribution cycle encompasses sales support, sales order processing, delivery, billing and payment.
The Sales and Distribution component models all those processes using electronic documents, each of which is
linked to its preceding and subsequent documents.
A Presales document (aka Quotation) is created which will be used later on when creating a sales document in order
processing. At delivery processing, the delivery is created, then picked, and goods issue is posted. In the billing
process that follows, an invoice is created and released to financial accounting.
Incoming payments are documented in payment processing and then posted in financials.
The document covers the full sales order processing scenario, starting with a Quotation via Sales Order, Delivery and
Billing up to the Incoming Payment within Finance.

What to say
The sales process begins with the creation of a quotation. During the initial call it may not be immediately clear if the
customer would like just a quotation or wants to place a sales order immediately. During the creation of the sales
document it is possible to change the document type during document processing.
Additionally a sales order can be generated based on an existing quotation. The quotation serves as a reference for
the sales order creation. All assigned material and its quantity and delivery date are copied to the sales order.
Access the transaction by using the following menu path Logistics Sales and Distribution Sales Quotation

Save the Quotation. Message appears: Quotation 2xxxxxxx has been saved.
Note the created quotation number for later reference.
Step 2.0 Create Order based on Quotation (and enhance the Sales Order)
What to say
Some time after the initial conversation between the sales representative and the customer, the customer decides to
accept the quotation; in addition he wants to add some other materials to the Sales Order.
The sales representative calls up the initial screen for Sales Order creation and first references the created Quotation.
This simplifies the order entry process by bringing in some information, such as the customer master data information
and sales organization data which was already entered during the creation of the Quotation. Depending on the
customer and material, some special events are set up for the order entry:
the shipping point from which the material(s) should be shipped are determined
Access the transaction using: Logistics Sales and distribution Sales Order Create (VA01)
Enter the Quotation number from the previous step and choose copy.
12
The data from the Quotation is copied to the Sales Order screen.
On the Create Standard Order: Overview screen, enter any text value in the PO number field.
This value can be used as reference in conversations with the customer.
Depending on which functionality you want to show/include in the process choose as many materials you want
from the list below and add them to the Sales Order. Each of them has a specific flavor:
o
C20010: The stock of this material is kept in batches to individually store the information regarding
the Best before date. During the logistical processing (delivery) a batch determination will be done
automatically to determine which batches to ship. No specifics within the Sales Order.
W40001: This material is a sales kit which is composed of 3 separate components (WSDCOMP0103). By entering material W40001 the 3 component of its bill of material (BOM) are automatically
added in the order as additional lines.
The sales kit itself does not have own stock; whenever a sales kit is ordered it will be build out of
the 3 components (which do have their own stock) during the logistical processing in the warehouse.
Other than that the components can be ordered individually.
o
W40002: As outlined above this is single material with product allocation activated.
The functionality of Product Allocation follows the regular ATP check (which defines the maximum
quantity which could be allocated) and checks if there is enough quantity left (according to the plan
data) for a specific material/customer combination within a specific time period.
When using this article a pop-up will be displayed saying Product allocation check found
changes to the confirmation.
This means that the confirmations received (from regular ATP check) exceed the agreed
quota. The confirmed quantities have been adjusted to the product allocation quantity that
remains available.
Accept this pop-up by pressing Enter and the system navigates to the Availability Screen

As all Sales Order items should be delivered completely within one deliver change the
quantity of this item to a value which is below the remaining quota according to the Product
Allocation plan.
Choose Save.
At this point of time the credit limit check is executed and a pop-up is shown saying the credit limit is exceeded
14
Make sure the overall amount of the Sales Order is exceeding the remaining credit limit (see chapter 2.1.3.2)
for the customer.
The system displays the message Standard Order xx has been saved.
The confirmed quantity for the required delivery date will not be considered as reserved as the sales order is
blocked due to the credit limit check. This will only be done once the credit limit block is released by the responsible
person (see chapter Error! Reference source not found.).
For the same reason there will be no Order confirmation (either printout or electronic message) for the customer until
the credit block will be released.
As mentioned above: The Sales Order is blocked for further logistical processing by the credit limit check. Before the
process can continue with delivery, picking etc. the Sales Order has to be released by a responsible person.
Optional: to proof and show that no delivery can be created as long as the Sales Order is blocked due to credit
reasons, do the following.

When creating an Outbound Delivery the responsibility for further processing is handed over to the Warehouse now.
The Delivery document is the basis for all picking & packing activities to be performed before the goods can be
shipped to the customer.
This scenario demonstrates batch determination within a delivery (only if material C20010 was added to the Sales
Order). The batch determination may be carried out automatically (as we do in this scenario) or manually. Usually
batch determination will be carried out automatically. However, if no batch matches the selection criteria, the batch
determination can be triggered manually.
Warehouse activities like picking & packing are usually performed within a dedicated Warehouse
Management System and most likely not within SAP ERP (disregarding some very simplistic and small
warehouses).
Therefore the functionality of picking is only considered to an extent which is necessary to proceed with the
process. The functionality of packing within this process is completely optional; if a Handling Unit (HU) and its
content should be shown the procedure for that is explained further below.

Optional Packing: It is possible to pack delivery items into boxes or on pallets (even using multiple levels are
possible as e.g. items into boxes and boxes on pallets) for. Doing so the physical reality could be build up
within the system. Having Handling Units in place one could automatically update the stock situation for
packing materials and even more important easily identify which delivery items should be within a specific
Handling Unit.
If you want to show the creation of Handling Units (which is usually done through dedicated Warehouse
Management Systems and only the result transferred to the Delivery Document) do the following steps:
From the Outbound Delivery Overview screen move to the packing screen by choosing the button
Within the packing screen in the upper part of the screen enter PALLET as packing material an hit
ENTER; a Handling Unit will be created and a unique identifier assigned.
Mark the created Handling Unit and all items in the lower part of screen by pushing
pack button

A billing document has been created and the postings to FI and CO have been made. The account for customer
CWSD1 is debited with the corresponding amount. Only the incoming payment for the invoiced amount will clear
the item from the customer balance.
What to say
With the invoice creation in the previous chapter the customer account was debited. In this procedure the customer
payment is received and the corresponding account will be cleared.
Usually this part of the process will be done automatically via bank transfer but to show the related steps the
payment of the customer will be created manually.
