Sales Process Flowchart
In SAP from SD point of view, the first document we create is a customer inquiry; based on the customer inquiry we create a quotation with
reference to the inquiry. Marketing department for analysis can use inquiry and quotation. Negotiation of price with the customer can be done.
After issuing the quotation to the customer, if he is satisfied with the terms and conditions, then he places a sales order with reference to the
quotation. Once the quotation is completely referred by the sales order, the system shows the quotation status as complete.
Sales order is the main document in sales and distribution process and it contains following information
1) Customer information
2) Material information
3) Pricing
4) Delivery dates
5) Billing information etc
You have the option of checking whether the sales order is complete or incomplete. If it is incomplete you need to complete the order .If not this
order cannot be processed for delivery. Incomplete sales order can also be saved. There is standard report for checking all the incomplete sales
order. Most of the data in the sales order will be coming from the masters, so they need to be maintained properly.
Once the sales order is placed, you can take the printout of the order confirmation and send it to the customer for confirming. If any changes to be
done can be made in the sales order and print the order confirmation.
Once the MRP (Materials requirement planning) is run by the production-planning department, system creates Planned orders against the sales
order. Planned order contains Confirmed quantities and delivery dates. This planned order created by the MRP run can be converted in to a
purchase requisition or production order based on the material procurement type (i.e. whether it is in-house produced or externally produced).
Suppose production order is created based on the planned order, we need to issue the raw material for production. Once the production is done
we do the confirmation and GR the goods in to different batches and move it to different storage locations.
Now the stock that is produced is against the sales order stock, when you check the stock report, you can find against this particular sales order
how much stock is lying.

Now pack the qualities in the cartons and delivery the goods to the customer, once you do post goods issue the stock is automatically reduced
from the plant.
Now you create an invoice with reference to the delivery document. In the invoice if any changes are to be done can be done here, like pricing,
billing dates etc. Once the invoice is saved an accounting document is passed to financial accounting. Now if still want to change the price then
you need to cancel that invoice and create a new one.
Excise invoice is created with reference to the invoice and followed by the ARE documents.
In SAP any sanctions for changing the price master, complaint processing etc is handled through authorizations. Only the authorized person will
be given the access for doing the changes to the price master.

Description of Process

Benefit of SAP

Tolerance check

Sales Order No. is always available in make to


order scenario and production is done based on
this order, even the required quality is available in
stock. Problem Example: Sales order is for
100mtrs. Tolerance of +/- 5% allowed. Hence,
packed material should be in the range of 95105m. But, if 150 mtrs received from finished
folding; then, it is packed for 150 mtrs. Then at the
time of dispatch they have to repack again and
make it 100 mtrs which is waste of time and
incorrect business practice

In Make to order scenario the MRP will


consider only the sales order quantity
and the production order is also issued
for the same quantity and the BOM
component requirement is also in the
same proportion hence this issue will
not be raised.

Business Process Gap

Right now the LR is sent to the Mktg. Dept. and


the goods return info is sent to the sales person for
a particular area. So, at times the goods are kept
with the local transporter for >6 months even as
high as 11 months. The demurrage paid by the co.
on each case is Rs. 3 per day. Above that there is
a 20% service charge. Hence, it is an unnecessary
cost for the company and a check needs to be
present for the same

Sample tracking

Production lead times

Currently the lead time for delivery of the samples


cannot be ascertained in advance. The sample set
comprises of following 4 sub-sets: Regular quality,
New Quality, Quality for Stock which is already in
Warehouse, Stock in Processing. The pain area is
in case of sample stock lying in warehouse and
sample stock currently in processing whose
samples has to be produced. Since the marketing
person is not able to see the stock is lying so he
asks the sampling department to produce the
same. As a result the lead time cannot be
ascertained for delivery of the samples. If this
information is available online than the
consolidation of the sample sets could be done
faster.

There are lots of reports in SAP to


check the stock in the warehouse and in
production.

What Samples have been sent to the customer this


information is not available on the current software
system. The dealer typically says that they havent
received the samples while the sampling
department says that those have been sent. Thus
provision needs to be made in the sampling
department for tracking of the sample. There is no
record in the sampling department what sample
went and in what quantity.

We are creating the sample booklets as


material code in SAP and maintaining
the inventory for them. Whenever
sample needs to be sent to the
customer, this needs to be entered in
the sales order for tracking purpose and
create a delivery for it.

The PPC should inform the marketing department


how much time would be taken to deliver the
required number of shades for a particular quality.
This has to be done through backward planning.

Whenever a sales order is placed,


system tells the intended material
available date. This date will be passed
to PPC for production.

Customer Complaints

Currently the marketing wants to know what the


status of MMF both for in-house and outsourced
production. This is required by them because they
want to keep the client updated on when the status
of the order. Otherwise the production department
for all in-house production activity status is able to
provide adequately.

Many reports available for providing the


status to client for better service.

The credit check process is done manually where


there is pre-specified format for the enhancements
of the credit limit, which is sent to the management
for authorization. As a result the issue is done
when the invoice is not even generated. The
invoice gets generated only when the credit
sanction is obtained.

Automatic credit check functionality is


available, where it blocks the customer
orders or deliveries based on the credit
limit of the customer and the payments
made by him.

The delivery schedule has to be calculated


manually. It is on the individual PC of the user but
is not available on the system software. The reason
is that this involves a lot of constraints for which
sophisticated processing is required.

Automatic delivery scheduling is done


by the system.

Record maintenance of all the complaints


registered by the customer/supplier and how each
of them was handled and final resolution.

All the complaints are maintained in sap


with proper reason for the complaint
and issue a credit note for that..

Lot of time is saved and no Paper work.

Surplus Stock VS Fresh


Stock

Business Process Gap

Goods have to be dispatched with tolerance limit


acceptable to client. At present all the goods being
graded are packed as fresh and any excess
quantity is later regarded and re-packed.

Once the invoice gets generated the transporter is


given the goods. Now there is no process for
tracking where the goods in between Bhiwani to
Bombay port are. If not city by city tracking, there
should be a process that incase of any delays the
logistics department informs the exports so that the
same can be communicated to the customer.

In SAP there are checks for controlling


this, system wont allow you to delivery
the goods if they are more than the
tolerance of the customer.
