A sales organization is the organizational unit that sells and distributes products,
negotiates terms of contract, and is responsible for these transactions. Every
sales organization represents a selling unit in the legal sense, being responsible,

The mySAP ERP sales process begins with establishing and maintaining customer
relationships and ends with billing for goods delivered or services provided to
customers. The posting of customer incoming payments is part of the mySAP
ERP application component Financial Accounting.

Effective sales order processing links all sales activities in a chain of closely
integrated processes. The mySAP ERP application component Sales and
Distribution makes this sales order processing possible. The individual steps in a
sales process are reflected by electronically linked documents.

Figure 184: Overview of Sales Processes

Lesson: Sales Order Management Process

The basis of the sales process is the sales order. After receiving an inquiry
from a customer you have to create a sales order to start the process. The sales
order is generated at the distribution chain level. The ordered items may belong
to different divisions.

SAP

Once you have entered the sales order, the system performs an availability check
for the desired delivery date.

Use

A goods issue document is created in Purchasing Management and an accounting


document is created in Financial to post the goods issue to the correct G/L
accounts.
The last step in Sales and Distribution is billing. A billing document is created
in Sales order Mangement and a printed invoice is sent to the customer.
Simultaneously, an Financial document is created to post the receivables and
revenues to the correct accounts.

When an invoice is posted in Sales Order Management, an accounting document


is created in Financials. The accounting document has a document number that is
normally different to the number of the Sales Order Management invoice. You
can use the reference and the assignment to trace which document in Sales Order
Management the accounting document is based on.
