<u><b>Can the document be entered only with reference to a preceding document?</b></u>

No. Not necessarily in all cases.

Incase of sales order, if we have reference quotation, then most of the data will flow from quotation to sales order & you can modify relevant data.

But if you take a reference of Sales Return Sales Order, as per configuration, it may or may not be mandatory. In sales return scenario, it is recommended to have reference mandatory, as the data is by default copied from original Sales order / Billing document & you can modify the relevant data.

<u><b>Should the existing customer-material info record be taken into consideration?</b></u>

If it is maintained, by default it will take into consideration. It is not mandatory to maintain Customer-material Info

<u><b>Should the delivery date be proposed?</b></u>

Normally Yes. If the date requires to be modified that is make it in future it is possible to make the change in Sales order.

<u><b>Must a customer number be entered when creating a document? For example,

assortment modules can be entered without reference to a particular customer</b></u>.

This will dependon the configuration. It is possible to create sales order with dummy customer & change the same subsequently, when the order is confirmed.

<u><b>How should the system respond if the division entered in the header deviates from the division in the items?</b></u>

This is to be taken care in configuration of sales Document Type / Item Category.

<u><b>Should a credit limit check be made?</b></u>

Not Necessary. In most cases it is not configured.

<u><b>Can an incomplete document be saved or must all data be complete?</b></u>

Yes & No. Yes, if it is warning message (Can have impact in subsequent documents), No, if it is Error message.

<u><b>Which partner functions are allowed and which ones are mandatory?</b></u>

If you create customer as Sold-to-Party, then it automatically takes functionality of Sold-to-party, Ship-to-Party, Bill-to Party & Payer. Ship-to-Party, Bill-to Party & Payer can be different from Sold-to-Party. In that case, they require to be maintained as customer master selecting appropriate Account Group while creating Customer.

dear ganesh,

plz find below the answers for ur ques. (as i'm fresh to sap, i request other friends to correct me if i'm wrong)

<b>Can the document be entered only with reference to a preceding document?</b>

>> not necessarily. it depends on the customization settings for the document type. for eg inquiry does not have any refernce, while delivery would generally contain refernce docs.

<b>Should the existing customer-material info record be taken into consideration?</b>

>> Yes, Generally for all datas cmir is given preference.

<b>Should the delivery date be proposed?</b>

>> Usually this is set in the customization settings, but could also be overwritten & delivery date is very important for availability check & so on.

<b>Must a customer number be entered when creating a document? For example,

assortment modules can be entered without reference to a particular customer.</b>

>> yes customer number is very important & its a must in the sales document, bcos all the customer related details like sales area, partner funcs & so on would be derived from the database.

<b>How should the system respond if the division entered in the header deviates from the division in the items?</b>

>> this can be specified in customization settings for the the item category.

<b>Should a credit limit check be made?</b>

>> if the recievables are be under control we do have to have credit control check.

<b>Can an incomplete document be saved or must all data be complete?</b>

>> this can be set in the customization screen under incompletness log & also specify what kind to action has to be taken if the document is incomplete. like cannot save / warning & save. it could also be specified to what extent an incomplete document can be processed.

<b>Which partner functions are allowed and which ones are mandatory?</b>

>> this is specified in the partner determination procedure in the img screen. u can customize the mandatory & non mandatory partner functions. generally SP, SH, BP & PY are the mandatory partner functions & the remaining are optional.

kindly reward if it is useful

what ever you have asked is very much possible in SAP.

But why do you need them and what is your requirement.
