challenges in implementing sap sd

[Former Member]

can any one tell me what are the challenges come while we implement sap sd in any organization?

I see two challenges, for both these communication, documentation, timely reviewing are important:

One of the major challenges - across SD functionalities - is to understand the client's business and to efficiently map it in SAP SD.

E.g.

1) Client's business organizational structure: This has to be efficiently mapped in to Enterprise structure (sales organizations, distribution channels, divisions, sales offices, sales groups, shipping points etc. etc.)

- how many sales organizations? why?

- how many sales areas? why?

- creation of delivering plants? on what logic?

2) Master data, CMR: Customers have to be created for how many sales areas? how is the same customer going to be different in SArea1 in comparison to SArea2?

3) Pricing: Should pricing be done on a customer group level or a material group or a combination of ......etc.

Another major challenge would be to correctly configure "inter-module" functionalities

E.g.

SD - FI, Account determination: SD consultant has to work with FI consultant and business to understand and fulfill the account postings

dear,

the very high level of idea is - project must be successful.

the target is to do a Business 'happy' with implementation and continue a system support / improvements

and even do new implementations later (modules, interfaces,...)

good luck
