SAP SD operates Sales activities and Distribution. The main activities are sales order handling and distribution of shipment to the customers. SAP SD also handles billing process, customer invoice, delivery and risk management.
The Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) consists of all master data, system configuration, and transactions to complete the Order to Cash process. It includes the following information and processes:
• Customer Master and Material Master data
• Sales Orders
• Deliveries
• Pricing
• Billing
• Credit Management
The characteristics of the Sales and Distribution module are:
Multilingual/Multicurrency
Several languages can be used within the system. Conversion between currencies is automatic and connecting to SAP's real-time currency rate database in Germany enables operational use.
Customization
R/3 allows you to customize their software product to meet the specific requirements of your organization. This is done through the IMG (Implementation Guide) and other functions.
Pricing Flexibility
In the SD module, you can create complex pricing schemes that are dependent on customers, goods sold, special promotions etc. Rebate processing options are also very sophisticated and comprehensive.
Simple Order Entry
The user enters basic order details all on one SAP Screen. From this window screen, there is simple access to all the levels of the order, namely header, item, and schedule line information.
Comprehensive Reporting
The standard Sales Information System (SIS) allows data to be stored, consolidated, and reported upon by the user in a variety of formats.
Flexible Batch Processing of Orders
Orders, deliveries, shipments, invoices and other sales documents can be generated in batch form, based on order types (e.g., incomplete orders) or customer, or material. Processing of batched orders can also be made to run as background tasks to balance processing load.
