<b>Integration between SD and MM</b> :-

In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer. Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.

2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI

End user activities during implementation is undergoing training on how to execute the Transaction & how to view reports. Core team member is responsible to collect the data required to be uploaded from the end user & also to get UAT - User Acceptance Test from selected group of end users.

Post Implementation, the end user acticities is to maintain amster data as & when required. Master data such as customer master, material master, condition records for pricing & so on.... End user are the persons who actually work on live system i.s production system & execute day to day activities.

The flow in SD has already been mentioned by other friends, but in summary the sales cycle depends on scenario's:

1. Normal Sales Cycle:

Inquiry --> Quotation --> Sales Order --> Delivery (Create Delivery, Picking, Packing & PGI) --> Billing Document

2. Export Sales Scenario:

Inquiry --> Quotation --> Sales Order --> Proforma Invoice --> Delivery (Create Delivery, Picking, Packing & PGI) --> Billing Document

3. STO - Stock Transfer Order:

Pruchase Order (By Receiving Plant) --> Delivery (Create Delivery, Picking, Packing & PGI) (by Delivering Plant) --> Proforma Invoice (by Delivering Plant) --> Goods Receipt (By Receiving Plant)

4. Third Party Sale with Shipping Notification:

Sales Order --> Purchase Order --> Statistical Goods Receipt --> Invoice Verfication --> Billing Document

& so on ..................................

Hi Nidhish,

Please find the total stuff Below Related to your Thread.

Sales Flow:

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.

11. Defining Common Distribution Channels for Master Data

Use

The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..

Procedure

Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels

Transaction Code: VOR1

12. Defining Common Divisions for Master DataUse

The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..

Procedure

Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division

Transaction Code: VOR2

Pricing Procedure

In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.

In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:

Step 1:

Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).

Step 2:

Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.

Step 3:

Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.

Step 4:

a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.

b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.

5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.

Normal Sales Order Cycle:-

Step 1: Sales Document Type

IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >

Sales Document Header:

1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.

2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.

3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:

A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.

B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.

Sales Document Item:

1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category

Schedule Line:

1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.

Step 2:

IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >

1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.

Step 3:

IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >

1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.

3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.

he configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

INTERGRATION BETWEEN SD AND MM AND SD & FICO

The link between SD and MM: -

1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.

2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.

3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.

4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.

There are many such links between SD and MM.

SD AND MM INTGRATON

1a. Looking at MM and SD interaction first, take the scenario of a third party order process. This process uses a purchase order (which is sent to your vendor). Also invoice verification is used further along the process to check that the invoice you send to your customer is the same material and quantity as that which the vendor sends to you (but obviously shipped

directly to your customer).

1b. Billing is an SD function. But SAP needs to know, when processing a customer's payment, to which GL account the payment has to be processed. For instance payment of a UK based material would be placed in a different GL account to that of a non-UK based material. Furthermore, a UK based customer may have a different GL account to that of an Export customer. This is configured in Account Determination.

2. ABAPers are there to essential do some bespoke development. Your integration, or interaction, with them would be when specifying the tables, fields, input fields, a simple process explanation, data mapping (if doing an interface from one system to another) etc. *-- Shahee

The link between SD and MM :-

1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.

2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.

3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.

4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.

There are many such links between SD and MM

In Pricing we would want to determine the cost of the product

thru VPRS Condition Type. This cost of the material is

picked from the Material Master. How this happens is, if

we would want to determine this cost VPRS in the Sales Order

for Profitability purpose then , all those Item categories

that can appear in a sales order must be activated for

Determine Cost Check box in customizing. That’s one of the SD

MM Integration.

Now the link between SD and FI: -

1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the background. E.g. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.

Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.

2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI

3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM

If you work in SD area, then the most important process where you really need to know MM area is the third-party process. In this case from SD sales order automatically the purchase requisition will be created on MM side. From this purchase requisition on MM side you create the purchase order on MM side. This purchase order updates the sales order on SD side, if you create the confirmation of the purchase order. This process takes place for the pure third-party as well as for individual purchase order process. Later the invoice will be sent from MM to SD (transaction MIRO) and will update the status of the SD order. If you work with this process then you need really know MM transactions quite well, because it is the same SD and MM system.

Another area where you have SD of one system integrated with MM of another system is the EDI process. Here several remarks concerning EDI concept of SD:

EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronically documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.

If MM-customer would like to purchase the goods then he creates the IDOC of type ORDERS and send it to SD-customer. On the SD-side the IDOC is processed via the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and creates the sales order. As confirmation the SD-side can send to MM-side the Order-Response IDOC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS). The MM-customer can every time send a change to the existing order, then on SD side the ORDCHG IDOC will be processed. It can change the order like in VA02. The creation of the invoice can be made via IDOC of message type INVOIC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).

So, the process can be realized completely automatically between SD and MM partners with the help of IDOCs: ORDERS, ORDCHG, ORDRSP, INVOICE.

Additional processes in SD, where EDI are used in communication with MM are:

1) sending (from MM side) and application (on SD side) of delivery schedules to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELINS. In this case we have practically automatically communication between SD and MM scheduling agreements via IDOCs;

2) creation of credit advice / credit memo in the frames of self-billing: IDOCs of type GSVERF, SBWAP and for external invoice creation SBINV are sent from MM customer to SD customer. So, the output function module belongs to MM area and the inbound function module - to SD area.

FI-SD Integration: The integration is done in T-code VKOA

1. Sales Order Created

-No Entry-

2. PGI done (Goods issue)

Cost of Goods Sold Dr (Configured in OBYC GBB T-Key)

To Inventory Account

3. Billing document released to Accounting

Customer Account Dr.

To Sales Revenue Account (ERL T-key in Pricing procedure)

Note: The GL account is assigned to this ERL in VKOA

4. Payment Received

Bank Clearing A/c Dr

Customer A/c Cr.

Points to Know: Good to understand the pricing procedure and how the different transaction keys are used like ERL, ERS etc.

1. looking at MM and SD integration first, take the scenario of a 3rd party order process. This process uses a purchase order (which is sent to your vendor).Also invoice verification is used further along the process to check that the invoice you send to your customer is the same quantity as that which the vendor sends to you (but obviously shipped directly to your customer)

2.billing in an SD FUNCTION . but sap needs to know when processing a customer payment , to which G/L accounts the payment has to be processed. for example payment of the UK based on material would be placed in different G/L account to that of a non-uk based material

Further more, a uk based customer may have a different G/L account to that of an export customer this is configured in account determination.
