Hi,

Document Flow in Sales

The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents – the inquiry(va11), the quotation(VA21), the sales order(va01), the delivery(VL01N),picking(VL02N), the invoice(VF01), and the subsequent delivery free of charge – creates a document flow or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help you to plan and control your sales.

SD:

Sales

Inquiry - A customer’s request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.

Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.

Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.

The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.

Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.

b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).

c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.

Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

Sales document flow is as below.

1)VA11- It starts with an enquiry where i am enquire regarding the products a company s based on pre sales activities the company carries out like say mailers on any campaign that i have carried out that leads to an enquiry.

2) Va21- Next A quatation is placed ,Customer may have enquired about 30 products but you give quotation to only 20 items subject to their availability with you. quotation is a binding document about conformed price & delivery schedule.

3) VA01- When a quatation is placed the next step is the sales order. The same is a purchase order for the person who places the order and a sales order for the person who sells the products.

4) VL01N- Once the order is placed i create a delivery where i need to deliver the goods to the customer, here I need to see that pick qty and delivery qty is the same pick qty is that qty where i pick the goods from my warehouse.

5) Once i do the delivery the next step is Post goods Issue, which means my stock gets reduced and all my previous documents get updated. A post goods issue can be done before the goods leave to the customer or when the goods are in transit. But the same should be done.

6) VF01- The next step would be billing where after doing the post goods issue i raise and invoice to the customer which is called billing.

7) If the customer finds that there are some goods which are damaged he would return the goods back which are called returns and i would then raise a credit memo which would give him credit for the damaged goods.
