Starting from creating the enterprise structure if anyone can kindly tell me the procedure or steps i have to follow so as to do a complete round up on all the configurations in SD module, it would be very very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Vivek,

-->You start with creating Enterprise structure in the IMG

-->After creating enterprise structure you maintain the Master data.

-->Now you maintain the configuration data like pricing procedure,Revenue account determination,Tax determination,Output determination etc...in the IMG.

-->After that you can create transaction data like sales order ,Deliveries and Invoice.

I hope it will help you

Regards,

Murali.
