Customer. Once the Customer sends payment you will commence the Accounts Receivable
process.

Organisational Units
Defining your organizational structure in SAP System is an important step. It requires thorough
analysis of how your organization wants to run your business.
The Sales and Distribution module uses some organizational units that can only represent sales
and distribution processes, such as Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel, Division or
Shipping Point. Other organizational units, such as company code or plant, are used in Sales and
Distribution and in other modules in SAP ERP.
y Company Code - an independent accounting unit. Balance sheets and Profit & Loss
according to its sales requirements. A Sales Organisation is responsible for the Sale and
Distribution of goods and services. Each business transaction is processed within a Sales
Organisation. It is responsible for distributing goods and services, negotiating conditions of
a sale. It is the level to which you sum up sales figures for reporting and analysis.
The Sales Organisation must be specified in all sales documents. It is therefore available for
all basic functions of SD (such as pricing, availability, etc.).
y Distribution Channel - represents the channel through which sold materials or services reach
Customers. Typical Distribution Channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales.
Within a Sales Organisation a Customer can be supplied through several Distribution
Channels. In addition, the Material Master data relevant for sales, such as prices, minimum
order quantity, minimum quantity to be delivered and delivering plant, can differ for each
Sales Organisation and Distribution Channel.
y Division - used to represent a product line. In SD, the division allows you to make customer-
specific agreements such as: partial deliveries, pricing agreements, special payment terms. At
least one Division must be defined in the SD module.
y Sales Area - a specific combination of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel, and
Division.
y Plant - a manufacturing facility, distribution center, or office. A location that stores inventory
or renders services.
y Storage location - allows the differentiation of material stocks within a plant.
y Warehouse - organizational divisions of a plant for the purpose of maintaining materials that

Customer Master
Data on customers is important for both the accounting department and the sales and distribution
department. In order to avoid data redundancy, accounting data and sales and distribution data is
stored in one master record, the customer master record.
The customer master groups data into categories: general data, sales area data, and company
code data. It includes all data needed for business transactions and correspondence with the
customer. This includes address data, shipping data, sales data, and data for invoice creation.

Condition Master
A company usually sells a material or service at different price conditions for different channel
distributions. For example, it gives more discounts for same material or service that sold through
wholesale channel than through retail channel (its because the minimal order quantity for
wholesale channel is usually much bigger than retail channel). The Condition Master defines the
prices, surcharges and discounts, freights, and taxes for a Material. This can be dependent on
other data.

Output Master
The Output Master is information that is sent to the Customer using various media, such as mail,
EDI, or fax. Examples include: the printout of a quotation or an order confirmation, order
confirmations using EDI, or invoices by fax. The output can be sent for various sales and
distribution documents (order, delivery, billing document)
In the output master data, you define the transmission medium, the time, and the partner function
for an output type.

Process Overview
Scenario In order to process a complete order-to-cash process you will take on different roles
within the GBI company, e.g. sales agent, warehouse worker, accounting clerk. Overall, you will
be working in the Sales and Distribution (SD), the Materials Management (MM) and the
Financial Accounting (FI) departments.
You start the sales order process by creating a new customer (The Bike Zone) in
Orlando. Then, you receive an inquiry which you will process into a quotation.
Once the quotation is accepted by the customer you create a sales order
referencing the quotation. As you will have enough bikes in stock, you deliver the
products sold to your customer, create an invoice and receive the payment.

In this case study, we will create the master data for a new Customer. Two types of
Customer data are stored about a Customer Sales data and Accounting data. The
Customer Master data is created in three groups, or views General, Accounting, and
Sales. Customers can be created centrally, meaning that all views are generated
concurrently, or responsibility can be distributed so that different personnel in the
accounting and sales areas are responsible for creating and maintaining the data in their
respective views. For this exercise, central creation will be used to enter all of the needed
data to define a new customer.

The total price for these 7 bikes to The Bike Zone is 21,400.00, which is
given by the Net value. The Expect.ord.val (6,420.00) is a calculated value
which takes the Net value of the order and multiplies it by the probability
of having an Inquiry from this customer turn into an actual order. To
change this probability:
23. Click the scroll icon to get to the Order probability column (two
columns right of the Net value column).
The Order Probability of 30% is the default value that was set for GBI for
Inquiry documents. The expected order value is then 0.30 x 21,400.00 =
6,420.00. We can change the Order Probability for an Inquiry, which
makes sense as different customer inquiries would have different
probabilities of becoming an actual sales order.
