Hi,

Product Proposal:-

1.product proposal is a tool provided by SAP if a particular customer buys regularly a particular set of products

2.ewhen we prepare a sales order we need not enter the products manually.It can be automatically called for by creating a product proposal order with order type MS and assigning the proposal no in his master record(CMR)

Cross selling:-

1.When a customer orders an article over the phone, the order taker can suggest additional articles that the customer might buy.

This is called as 'Cross functionality"

2. For example, if the customer orders a laptop, you might suggest purchasing Pen Drive.

3.If the order taker presses Enter after entering the data for one article, then a dialog box appears automatically, displaying a list of articles to be suggested to the customer. These cross selling articles are ones that pertain specifically to the purchased article.

We can maintain master data for cross selling material by using std SAP code VB41.

Regards,

Ajit

Hi Yogesh,

*Item proposal and product proposal are the same*.

Item proposal is the list of materials and order quantities that can be copied into the sales order from the customer master data.

Item Proposal or Product proposal:

"Item proposal is same as product proposal & SAP uses the two terms interchangeably.

"An item proposal is a list of materials and order quantities that can be copied into the sales order. Items can also be selected from a list and copied into a sales order."

1) Use transaction [VOV8] to configure the document type ("MS" for product proposal).

2) Use transaction [VA51] to create a proposal.

3) Enter the item proposal on the sales area data (sales tab) of the customer master record.

4) In [VA01] to create a sales order, Select Edit & propose items."

Cross selling:

Cross selling is a concept by which the business can improve the sales. By using this concept the business can offer combination material for ordered material.

Ex: If the customer placed for the order for computer then computer stand can be suggested as a combination material. It can be mapped by using cross selling concept that uses condition technique.

When the user raises the sales order and specifies ordered material then system automatically pup-up a box in which system displays suggested material

Configuration settings:

1) Define determination procedure for cross selling:

Path:

d) Maintain procedure:

Go to new entries and define cross selling profile Ex: CS0001 and assign our condition type C001 that we define in

the previous step.

2) Maintain customer/document procedures for cross selling:

a) Define customer procedure for cross selling:

b) Define documents procedure for cross selling:

Here we define document cross selling procedure ex: `B"- cross selling

c) Assign document procedure for cross selling to sales document:

Choose sales document type "OR" and assign document cross selling procedure ex: "B"

Go to VD02, sales area section of sales tab

Assign customer procedure for product proposal - B

Save it and exit
