SD config usage from business perspective

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to find the best description to describe SD configuration from a business perspective.

For example, this is what i have in mind:

1. Sales doc : cater for your different business transactions.

2. ITC : cater for different types of billing for your items.

3. SLC : cater for different movement types.

4. Copy control : ???

5. Pricing :

I am quite an inexperience SD person. Hope you can share with me how you would describe the functionality and purpose of the configuration tools from business process solutioning perspective.

regards

John

Item category also defines

- whether an item is relevant for pricing

- when an item status can be treated as completed once referenced or full quantity is referenced

- whether header level data can differ from item level data

Through a schedule line category, you define whether availability check can be carried out and the MRP can be passed on to production

Through copy control, you define whether a billing can be generated against a sale order or delivery. Also you can define how your pricing in sale order to billing should be

The term Pricing itself is self explanatory. You can have various types of pricing like automatic pricing, manual pricing etc.,

thanks

Hi John,

Just trying to summerize :-

Sales Doc Type :--

Sales document type is an indicator which enables system to process different business transactions in different ways. Various document types are pre-configured in system and can be used for various scenarios.It can determine

whether the sales doc of that type are blocked or not ;No ranges for the sdocuments;whether a reference doc is mandatory or not whether it should read cus.material info record

ITC :--

Item categories are defined to provide additional control functions for the sales documents. Item category controls the processing of an item in a Transaction.Item Category is determined in a Transaction by 4 factors Combination

ITEM CATEGORY =SALES DOC TYPE + ITEM CATEGORY GROUP + USAGE + HIGHER LEVEL + ITEM CATEGORY

For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:

-Pricing

-Billing

-Delivery

-Inventory posting

-Transfer of requirements

I-tems in stock, and value and text items are item categories

SLC :--

Schedule line category is nothing but delivery date and delivery quantity.Schedule line category is determine by

Item Category Group+ MRP Or No MRP.

Different control elements are also defined for the schedule lines. For example, for some schedule lines, material requirements planning is not carried out; for other schedule lines, it is carried out. Also goods receipt, not goods issue, is posted for a schedule line defined in a returns document.

Copy Control :--

WE can use copy control to define the requirements and options when transfering the data from reference document

to its subsequent document .Copy controle in the other words we can say as copy the data from source document to

target document .

FOR sales document-copy control options are sales document to sales document and copy controle -billing document to

sales document .THe copy control rules set up to enable a sales document type to be copied into another sales document type such as quotation to sales order and sales order to sales order .

Pricing :--

The term pricing is used broadly to describe the calculation of prices (for external use by customers or vendors) and costs (for internal purposes, such as cost accounting). Conditions represent a set of circumstances that apply when a price is calculated. For example, a particular customer orders a certain quantity of a particular product on a certain day. The variable factors here - the customer, the product, the order quantity, the date - determine the final price the customer gets. The information about each of these factors can be stored in the system as master data. This master data is stored in the form of condition records.

The primary job of a pricing procedure is to define a group of condition types in a particular sequence.

Thanks/Rajesh
