Each outbound delivery is processed by one shipping point Shipping points are assigned to a plant More than one shipping point can be assigned to a plant
A standard order in SAP contains: Customer and material info Pricing conditions Delivery dates and quantities Shipping info Billing Info
Inventory sourcing in SAP is taken care by Availability check
Shipping in SAP supports Outbound delivery creation Picking Packing Post Goods Issue
Billing in SAP supports Creating invoices for products and services Creating credit and debit memo Cancel previously posted billing documents Automatically transferring billing documents to accounting
When a billing document is created for a sales order we Credit the sales revenue account Debit the customer receivables account
Sales DocumentA sales document is grouped into three structures
Header Item Schedule Line
Outbound deliveryA delivery document is grouped into two structures
Header Item
Several orders can be grouped into same outbound delivery if they have same Shipping point Delivery date Ship-to- address
Picking A transfer order is created for an outbound delivery A transfer order is created for a warehouse number
Post Goods IssueWhen PGI is done the system
Updates the quantity in inventory management and delivery requirements in materials planning Generates additional documents for accounting Adds the delivery to the billing due list Updates status in sales documents
BillingWe can group deliveries into single billing document if the deliveries have same
Billing date Payer Destination Country
The effects of billing are Debit on the customer receivables account and credit on sales revenue account is created Sales information system Sales statistics is updated
Master data in SAP
SAP SD has got the following main masters: Customer master Material master Condition master Output master Customer material information master
Material Master is maintained in different views and important views of sales and distribution are Basic data 1 Sales Org 1 Sales Org 2 Sales : Gen/Plant Foreign Trade Sales text
Sales document in Sales and distribution mainly controls: Number range Item No increment Reference mandatory Item division Read info record Document pricing procedure Incomplete messages Alternative sales documents Delivery block Billing block Immediate delivery Delivery type Billing type Proposed delivery date Lead time for delivery Proposed pricing date
Plant determination in Sales and distribution:To determine the plant in an order the system checks the master in the following order:
a) Customer material info. record of the sold-to –partyb) Customer master record of the ship-to-partyc) Material master record of the material
Shipping point determinationThe following rule is used in determining shipping point in a sales order :Plant + Shipping condition (Sold-to-Party) + Loading group Shipping pointDelivery scheduling:As name denotes delivery scheduling is scheduling delivery for an order and it carries the following important dates:
Material availability date Transportation planning date Loading date Goods Issue date Delivery date
Availability Check in SAP: Availability check is carried out at item level for a plant Availability check is done on the material availability date If material availability date is in the past the forward scheduling is done, if not backward scheduling is
done.Schedule line category mainly controls:
Delivery Block Movement type Item relevant for delivery Req/Assembly
Availability Product Allocation
Copy Control:Copy control is normally set for
Header Item Schedule line levels
To control copying procedure we have Data transfer routines Copying requirements Switches
Pricing Procedure determination:Pricing is an important component in SAP-SD. Once an order is entered taking into consideration some major factors, the pricing procedure for the particular order is determined.Define Pricing ProceduresThe pricing procedure defines the conditions permitted for a document and the sequence in which the system takes these conditions into account during pricing.A standard pricing procedure is defined in the standard SAP system. It contains conditions most commonly used. These include material prices, discounts, and surcharges, such as freight, or tax.SAP Recommendation Define your own pricing procedures which contain only those condition types which you use. Otherwise, the system makes un neccessary accesses to conditions. Do not change the pricing procedures contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.Actions
1. Create new pricing procedures by copying a similar pricing procedure.o Specify a key with up to 6 characters and a description.o For a procedure, specify the condition types in the sequence of their usage.
Maintain the lines of the pricing procedure2. Afterwards define the customer determination procedures for determining the procedure.3. Define the document pricing procedures for determining the procedure.4. Assign the procedure to the sales document types and billing types.5. To determine the procedure, define the allowed combinations of:
Shipping:The basis for shipping is delivery.Delivery document controls the following in deliveries
Number range Item no increment Storage location rule Route determination Text determination Delivery split Gen. packing material / item Order required
Delivery item category controls: Check min delivery Availability check Relevant for picking Storage location required Determine storage location Automatic batch determination Text determination procedure
Billing:Billing is the last phase in the SD process .Billing is the phase where the major integration of SD and FI Module happens.Billing document has got the following structure:
Header Item
Billing documents mainly control: No. range Posting block (Controls posting to accounting) Relevant for rebate Account determination procedure Account determination recon account Account determination pay.cards Output determination procedure

Does anyone know how to split invoice based on quantity? An example –
1. Sales order has a material ab1, qty of 10.
2. Delivery created with qty 10.
3. Now we need to create 10 invoices for a qty of 1 each.

Hi,
Go to Item Category details – Billing relevance – put it as “k” then follow to the billing screen by selection button – then
enter the qty to be billed.

HI JItesh,
That is possible through Item category,
go to item category and put K in place of A in Billing Relevance Check.
