Hi,

a small suggestin first, pl do not put too many questions under one thread and also use the search option.

1. What are the Standard output types in SD?

Order / del / Billing / shipping / Picking slip / Packing / legal regulations / reports

2. What is difference between delivery document & scheduling?

delivery doc tells whats being delivered to customer. Scheduling is to check when exactly the sales order items can be made available for delivery.

3. Why does the customer master have different views?

To categorize information under various sections making it easy to manage and importantly divide the information based on funcitonality. like company code for FI with FD01 and Sales area for SD with VD01.

4. What is Product attributes?

Which can provide more info about the mat master.

5. What is the difference between routine and requirements?

requirements / alt cal type / base value all are identified as rountines. They are basically abap programs used under different heads for different functionalities.

6. What is condition supplement and why is it used?

When you want certain set of condition to be executed along with a particular condiion type the we use this.

7. What is the difference between milestone and periodic billing?

Mile stone is like constructing a house where initially you pay one lakh for example then at foudation another 3 lakh, at roof 3 lakh at completion another 2 lakh... so at each milestone defined the payments are made. Periodic is like power, water, telephone etc..

8. How variant is used in reporting?

It helps to have a predefined selection criteria to pull a report and can be used along batch jobs for automation.

9. What are the user exits?

they are one of the enhancements provided by SAP to meet user specific requirements when the standard cannot do.

10. What is condition exclusion?

The system can exclude conditions so that they are not taken into account during pricing in sales documents.

Hi,

10.condition Exclusion.

it is used when u have many similar condition types[eg. disount coundition type],than it all have records and are copied into sales order than u end up giving unnecessary discounts.some time it could be more than 100%.so we use condition exclusion to find best condition type out of all similar condition type and only that is applicable to that customer.

7.milestone and periodic billing are differt billing plans.

periodic billing - Entire value is to be billed is billed in full on billing plan date.

milestone billing - total value to be billed is distributed .It could be like installments.

6.condition supplement

when u want some condition to be executed along with other condition type than u use condition supplement.eg: when u want k007 to be executed when pr00 is executed.and for this u set condition supplement in order type[VOV8].and u enter that when u create records[vk11].

3.customer master does not have diff views but material master does.

2.delivery document gives u info about shipping and delivery relateds things but scheduling is used to get planning like determine material availability date,loading time,transportation lead time etc. which help to confirm item. it is used to know whether u can deliver that item with that quantity on customer specified date.

1.u can check output types in sales order - > header -> output
