SAP ERP
Sales Order
Sales order processing can originate from a variety of documents
and activities
- Customer contacts us for order: phone, internet, email
- Existing Contract
- Quotations
The electronic document that is created should contain the
following basic information:
- Customer Information
- Material/service and quantity
- Pricing (conditions)
- Specific delivery dates and quantities
- Shipping information
- Billing Information

SAP ERP
Sales Order
The sales document is made up
of three primary areas:
- Header
• Data relevant for the entire sales
order: Ex: customer data, total
cost of the order
- Line Item
• Information about the specific
product: Ex: material and
quantity, cost of an individual line
- Schedule Lines
• Uniquely belongs to a Line Item,
contains delivery quantities and
dates for partial deliveries

SAP ERP
Sales Order
The sales order contains all of the information needed to process
your customers request, the following information is determined for
each sales order:
- Delivering Schedule
- Shipping point and route determination
- Availability Check
- Transfer of requirements to MRP
- Pricing
- Credit limit check

SAP ERP
Delivery Scheduling
When an order is created the you must enter a requested delivery
date for the order or each line item.
The system will then determine a delivery timeline, this will be used
when determining our material availability, or ATP (Availability to
Promise) date.
The system will determine this date using forward and backward
scheduling rules you have defined.

SAP ERP
Shipping & Route Determination
During the creation of the sales order the system must determine
the shipping point from which the material will be shipped and the
route the material will take to get from your warehouse to your
customers location.
A shipping point is determined for each line item within the order.
The route determination will is used to define the transit time of the
material that we used in scheduling.

SAP ERP
Availability Check
Availability Check
- Determines the material
availability date
- Considers all inward and outward
inventory movements
Proposes 3 methods of delivery
- One-time delivery
- Complete delivery
- Delayed proposal
Rules are created by YOU

SAP ERP
Transfer to Planning
The order is transferred to
Material Requirements Planning
as an (CIR) Customer
Independent Requirement. If a
deficit is found the system will
propose a Purchase Req. or
Order to fulfill the shortage.

SAP ERP
Pricing
The system displays pricing information for all sales documents on
the pricing screens at both the header and the line item level.
- Header pricing is valid for the whole order it is the cumulative of all line
items within the order
- Line item pricing is for each specific material.
The system will automatically search for price, discounts,
surcharges, calculate taxes and freight. You have the ability to
manually manipulate the pricing at both the header and line item
level within the sales order by entering a condition type and
amount.
- Taxes and freight can be set-up so we can’t manually enter

SAP ERP
Credit Check
Allows your company to manage its credit exposure and risk for
each customer by specifying credit limits.
During the sales order process the system will alert the sales rep
about the customers credit situation that arises, if necessary the
system can be configured to block orders and deliveries.

SAP ERP
Shipping & Transportation
The shipping process begins when you create the delivery
document for the sales order. This document controls, supports,
and monitors numerous sub-processes for shipping processing:
- Picking
- Packing
- Post Goods Issue
Integrated with the Material Management (MM) and Finance (FI)
modules

Changes to delivery are allowable - products, quantities

SAP ERP
Picking
Quantities based on delivery note
Assigned date when picking should begin
Automated storage location assignment
Supports serial number/lot number tracking and batch
management
Integrated with Warehouse Management (WM)

SAP ERP
Loading and Packing
Identifies which packaging is to be used for specified products
(customer preference and UCC-128 considerations)
Identifies and updates accounts associated with returnable
packaging
Tracks the packed product by container
Insures weight/volume restrictions are enforced
All packed items are assigned to the required means of
transportation

SAP ERP
Goods issue
Event that indicates the legal change in ownership of the products
Reduces inventory and enters Cost of Goods Sold
Automatically updates the General Ledger (G/L) accounts
Ends the shipping process and updates the status of the shipping
documents

SAP ERP
Billing
The billing document is created by coping data from the sales
order and/or delivery document.
- Order-based billing
- Delivery-based billing
The billing process is used to generate the customer invoice.
It will update the customer’s credit status.

SAP ERP
Billing Documents
The billing document will
automatically create a debit
posting to your customer sub-
ledger account and credit
your revenue account.
It is at this point that the sales
process is passed over to
Financial Accounting to await
payment.

SAP ERP
Payment
Payment is the final step in the sales order process, this step is
managed by the Financial Accounting department.
Final payment includes:
- Posting payments against invoices.
- Reconciling differences between payment and invoice.
Payment will create a posting clearing the liability in the A/R
account and increases your bank account.

SAP ERP
Document Flow
The document flow and order
status feature allows you to find
the status of an order at any point
in time. The SAP updates the
order status every time a change
is made to any document created
in the customer order
management cycle
(Order-to-Cash).

“Never again did I learn so much in
such a short time, because twenty
participants made mistakes for me!
You cannot make so many mistakes
all alone”

Purchase Requisition
Internal Document instructing the purchasing department to request
a specific good or service for a specified time
Requisitions can be created two ways:
- Directly - Manually
• person creating determines: what, how much, and when
- Indirectly - Automatically
• MRP, Production Orders, Maintenance Orders, Sales Orders

SAP ERP
Page 1-117© 2009 SAP AG
Requisition Sourcing
Once the requisition has been assigned a source of supply it can
be released for processing
There are a variety of ways that a purchasing department can
process a requisition to determine the appropriate Source of
Supply:
- Internal Sourcing Requirements
- Source List
- Outlined Agreement
- RFQ

SAP ERP
Page 1-118© 2009 SAP AG
Internal Sourcing
The requisition for materials could be satisfied by sources within
our company.
- It is possible that a plant within your firm could represent a potential
source of supply for the material needed (centralized warehouse)
- If an internal source is identified the requirement is covered by an
internal procurement transaction (stock transport order)

SAP ERP
Page 1-119© 2009 SAP AG
Source List
A source list is a record that specifies the allowed means for
procuring a material for a certain plant within a given time period.
- If the list contains a sole source the system will assign the vendor to
the requisition.
- If several options exist the system will display a list of vendors for you
to choose from.
- If no source has been established the system will revert to search
information records and outline agreements.

SAP ERP
Page 1-120© 2009 SAP AG
Outline Agreement
Requisitions can be satisfied through existing longer-term
purchasing agreement
These agreements are subdivided into:
- Contracts
• Consists of items defining the individual materials, material groups, or
services with prices and in many cases quantities
– Quantity
– Value
- Scheduling Agreements
• Total quantity of material is spread over a certain period in a delivery
schedule, consisting of line items indicating quantities and their planned
delivery date

SAP ERP
Page 1-121© 2009 SAP AG
Request for Quotation
If nothing exist in the system we may need to submit a request for
quotation to our vendors. An RFQ is an invitation to a vendor by a
Purchasing Organization to submit a bid for the supply of materials
or services
- The accepted quotations will generate Purchasing Information Records
- Perform Quotation Price Comparisons
- Finally Select a Quotation

Quotation from Vendor
The quotation received by your company is a legally binding offer,
should decide to do business with the vendor, containing price’s
and conditions for the materials specified in the RFQ for a
predefined period of time.
- In SAP the RFQ and the Quotation will be become a single document,
you will enter the vendor’s response in the RFQ you created.

SAP ERP
Page 1-123© 2009 SAP AG
Vendor Evaluation once Identified
Vendor evaluation helps purchasing evaluate vendors for sourcing while
also enabling the company to monitor vendor relationships through
performance scores and criteria you put in place.
- Supports a maximum of 99 main criteria and 20 subcriteria for each main:
• Price
– Price Level
– Price History
• Quality
– Goods Receipt
– Quality Audit
– Complaints/Rejection level
• Delivery
– On-time delivery performance
– Quantity reliability
– Compliance with shipping instructions
– Confirmation Date
- You then must establish a scoring range (1 -100) and determine the weight
factors of scores for each.

SAP ERP
Page 1-124© 2009 SAP AG
Purchase Order
A purchase order is a formal request to a vendor for a specific
material or service under the stated conditions
Purchase Orders can be created manually
- Reference a Purchase Order
- Reference a Purchase Requisition
- Reference a RFQ/Quotation
- Without Reference
Purchase Orders can be create automatically

SAP ERP
Page 1-125© 2009 SAP AG
Purchase Order
A purchase order can be used for
a variety of purposes, the item
category (procurement type)
defined in the PO will dictate the
use of the order and the process
that the order will follow:
- Standard
• Stock or Consumption
- Services
- Subcontracting
- Third-Party
- Consignment

Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
In MRP, the system calculates the net requirements while
considering available warehouse stock and scheduled receipts from
purchasing and production
During MRP, all levels of the bill of material are planned
The output of MRP is a detailed production and/or purchasing plan
Detailed planning level
- Primary Functions
- Monitor inventory stocks
- Determine material needs
• Quantity
• Timing
- Generate purchase or production orders

Production Order
Production orders are used to control production operations and
associated costs
- Production Orders define the following
• Material produced
• Quantity
• Location
• Time line
• Work involved
• Resources used
• How to costs are settled

SAP ERP
Page 1-186© 2009 SAP AG
Schedule
Calculates the production dates and capacity requirements for all
operations within an order
- Determines a Routing
• Operation specific time lines
• Material Consumption Points
- Material Master
• Scheduling Margin Key (Floats)
- Work Center
• Formulas
• Standard Inter-operation Times

SAP ERP
Page 1-187© 2009 SAP AG
Release
Two release processes
- Header Level
• Entire order and all operations are released for processing, order is given a
REL status
- Operation Level
• Individual operations within an order are released, not until the last
operation is released does the order obtains a REL status until then it is in
a PREL status
Automatic vs. Manual

SAP ERP
Page 1-188© 2009 SAP AG
Availability Check
Automatic check to determine whether the component, production
resource tools, or capacities in an order are available
- Can be automatic or manually executed
- Determines availability on the required date
Generates an availability log
- Displays results of the check
- Missing parts list
- Reservations that could not be verified

SAP ERP
Page 1-189© 2009 SAP AG
Schedule & Release
The time between scheduling and releasing an order is used for
company checks and any preparation needed for the processing of
the order
Once an order has been released it is ready for execution, we can
at this time
- Print shop floor documents
- Execute goods movements
- Accept confirmations against the order

SAP ERP
Page 1-190© 2009 SAP AG
Shop Floor Documents
Shop Floor Documents are printed upon release of the Production
Order, examples would be:
- Operation-based Lists
• Time Tickets, Confirmation Slips
- Component-based Lists
• Material Withdrawal Slips, Pull List (consumption list)
- PRT Lists
• Overview of PRT’s used and in which operations
- Multi-Purpose Lists
• Operation Control Ticket, Object Overview

SAP ERP
Page 1-191© 2009 SAP AG
Material Withdrawal
When a production order is created it references a BOM to
determine the necessary components to produce the material, it
then places a reservation on each of the components
Upon release of the order (or operation) you can withdraw the
reserved materials from inventory
- Reservation is updated
- Inventory is updated
- Costs are assigned to the order as actual costs

SAP ERP
Page 1-192© 2009 SAP AG
Confirmations
Confirmations are used to monitor and track the progression of an
order through its production cycle
- Confirmation can be done at the operation or order level
Exact confirmation shortly after completion of an operation is
essential for realistic production planning and control
Data that needs confirmation include
- Quantities – yield, scrap, rework
- Activity data – setup time, machine time
- Dates – setup, processing, teardown started or finished
- Personnel data – employee who carried out the operation, number of
employee involved in the operation
- Work center
- Goods movements – planned and unplanned
- Variance reasons
- PRT usage

SAP ERP
Page 1-194© 2009 SAP AG
Goods Receipt
Acceptance of the confirmed quantity of output from the production
order into stock
- Effects of the Goods Receipt
• Updates stock quantity
• Updates stock value
• Price stored for future valuation changes
• Production order is updated
- Three documents are created
• Material document
• Accounting document
• Controlling document

SAP ERP
Page 1-195© 2009 SAP AG
Order Settlement
Consists of settling the actual costs incurred in the order to one or
more receiver cost objects
- Receivers could include: a material, a cost center, an internal order, a
sales order, a project, a network, a fixed asset
Parameters for Order Settlement
- Settlement Profile
• Specifics the receivers, distributions rules and method
- Settlement Structure
• Determines how the debit cost elements are assigned to the settlement
cost elements
Settlement Rule
- Automatically assigned on creation of order, the parameters are used
to define this rule
• Has one or more distribution rules assigned to it
• Distribution rules defines: cost receiver, settlement share, settlement type

SAP ERP
Page 1-196© 2009 SAP AG
Order Settlement
Settling a Production Order to Stock
- Debt posting is made to the Production Order with the value of the
material
