Step-by-step walkthrough

Capture demand and quotation

Use inquiry and quotation to document early customer intent and pricing assumptions.

????? ???: Do not let users confuse a quotation with confirmed supply; ATP commitment matters later.

Create the sales order

Check sold-to/ship-to, material, plant, quantity, pricing, ATP, route, tax, and credit status.

????? ???: Credit blocks and incomplete master data should be explained as controls, not system annoyances.

Create delivery and post goods issue

Pick, pack, ship, and post goods issue to move logistics and inventory forward.

????? ???: Goods issue is the step that can create COGS and inventory finance impact.

Create billing document

Generate invoice, validate output, and check transfer to accounting.

????? ???: Copy control, tax classification, and account determination are common root causes.

Collect payment and report margin

Post incoming payment, clear receivable, and review revenue and margin.

????? ???: A process is not finished until cash and exception status are visible.

Common errors ?? troubleshooting

Sales order blocked by credit management

??????? ????: Customer exposure exceeds limit or risk rules require review.

Fix path: Review credit segment, exposure, blocked order list, and approval workflow.

No confirmed quantity from ATP

??????? ????: Insufficient available stock, planning issue, or checking rule mismatch.

Fix path: Check stock/requirements list, ATP result, plant, schedule lines, and backorder processing.

Billing document does not post to accounting

??????? ????: Account determination, tax, or document completion issue.

Fix path: Analyze billing log, pricing conditions, revenue account determination, and missing master data.

ECC ?? S/4HANA differences

S/4HANA SD document flow रखता है, लेकिन embedded analytics, better credit integration, simplified models और Fiori exception visibility जोड़ता है।
