Hi

I am confused the difference between normal sales to Billing process and Order to cash (OTC) process. Google also resulted different type of explanations, so decided to post this basic questions, I hope moderators don't make any objection ..

1. What is the difference between OTC and Normal SD-Delivery-PGI- Billing process.

2. What is the process steps involved in OTC.

3. What are the document types & item categories involved in OTC.

Appreciated if you could answer with some screen shot.

Being an old member of the forum, you should be knowing the forum rules and you yourself had accepted that this is a basic question.  Still you want the members to respond to basic query.  Of course, few members had responded already which should not have happened.  If you know the basic SD process, you will find answer to all your queries.  If not, please check with your SD consultants.

Again, I would like to stress that please adhere to forum rules and avoid asking such basic queries and give work load to Moderators

Hi MM,

As you know order to billing is the standard sales order processing like

order - delivery - billing & release to FI.

similar, in order to cash.

whenever customer place the order. based on shipping conditions system will generate the delivery document against this sales order. then pick-packing- goods issue will be done.

to create billing, will take order ref, instead delivery ref. the complete process known as "CASH SALES" process. after creating billing will release to FI. Then the value store in Cash account, instead revenues account like in standard sales order process.

For this we need determine cash account in config.

if you observe the Cash sale billing doc ( BV) type, you will find account key- EVV, which determines cash account to post the cash sales billing values in cash account.

You will get other side of answers too.

Hope it helps you to understand the difference between two processes.
