SAP Pricing Header Condition type vs Item Condition Type

SAP Pricing Condition types can be two types. Header condition types vs Item Condition Types. Most condition types belong to Item Condition Type. Very few however are header condition type. Some examples of header condition type are HB00, RB00 and so on. The configuration that specifies whether a condition type is Header or Item Condition type is specified in the Changes which can be made section of the Condition type. Go to [ V/06 ] tcode and open the condition type say HB00

Screenshot is Copyright of SAP AG One important thing to notice here is that the condition type HB00 does not have an Access Sequence associated with it. So by definition this does NOT have a Condition Record. In this case, how is the price/discount data being determined ? YES You have guessed it right. These condition types are NOT automatically determined. They can ONLY be entered manually. That is the reason why the option Manual Entries has No Limitations as the option. Now, lets consider a simple scenario and build up on top of it. Both these scenarios refer to a sales order like the one below.

Screenshot is Copyright of SAP AG Scenario 1 : We are negotiating the price of a sales order with a customer and have finally decided to offer a discount of $100 in total. There are 2 line items in the sales Order. How can we distribute $100 as discount among all the line items proportionally ?

Use Condition type HB00 and apply it at the header level as shown below ( Go to Header -> Conditions tab )

Screenshot is Copyright of SAP AG

Lets see how this discount has been distributed across the line items. Typically, they are distributed by value but this can be changed.

Screenshot is Copyright of SAP AG And line item 20 will have a value of 75 EUR for the HB00 being distributed to it. Screenshot is Copyright of SAP AG There can be many other basis on which the header discount can be distributed between line items. This can be configured in the SAP Pricing Procedure at the condition type level using Alternate Calculation Routine. Scenario 2 : Same as Scenario 1 with one difference . The discount of $100 needs to be given to each line item. So for the total of 2 lines, the total discount should be $200

Document 25029 created and saved and added at the header conditions. The HB00 (810) discount condition type and appeared under discount condition type ZEVI (11) Pricing and YEVI (101) discount The the condition values could be changed for both ZEVI and YEVI why??? 25030 Created with 10 Value discount. 25031 created with HA00 (Percentage discount) and it was working on the 11 -101 value result was 2400. 25132 Created (with HA00 from 11) it works and result is value 23.76 which means it works on zevi but positively. 25033 created with HA00 Negative and it works negatively 19.44. 25034 : I copied HA00 to HA0E with negative and plugged into ZEVI01 copying HA00 with HA0E at 810 and counter 4. Before HA0E, price is 24 -2.4 = 21.60 25035: After manually entering HA0E, 21.60-2.16 = 19.44. 25036: Again I inserted 11 in from column against HA0E and calculation changed to 19.20.

Text Determination in SAP SD

What is Texts ? Text is a small piece of formatted or unformatted text that is functionally used to describe or note information in master data and Transactional Data. For example, a temperature sensitive material ( say a bio-reagent ) needs to be kept under freezing temperatures always. Although there is another field called Storage Conditions to denote this, we can use a text field with more specific comments so that the folks selling this material can ensure that they always inform the customer that they need to have storage facilities for the same. Since the information in this case is used to inform sales agents, it can be a Sales Text Related Trainings SAP Training SAP Access SAP SD Training

Now, its not just enough that the material master contains this text. We will also have to ensure that the sales agents creating orders for this material has visibility to the same text. That means that the sales order should also have texts that can show the same. And since this text is specific to the specific material, this text needs to be part of the line item not the sales order header.

As you can see from the example above, there are myriad number of texts like item note, packing note, delivery text, purchase order text, production memo etc. All of these texts are either flown in from the corresponding master data ( Customer master , material master etc ) or entered in the transaction itself. In summary, texts are little pieces of information that are useful in communication information about master data or transaction specific data across the enterprise. Can Texts be Formatted ? Yes. These texts ( Or Text Objects as they are normally called in SAP lingo ) need not be constrained to plain text only. You can use the buttons highlighted below to import or export text. You can use the standard Clipboard ( ) button to copy or paste text.

The best part is that on a windows machine, you can just double click on the white space to open your favorite rich text editor ( Like MS Word or TextPad ) to format text as required. Also, these texts can be maintained in multiple languages as can be seen below.

How do Texts Flow ? ( Text Determination ) As can be seen from the example above, the material sales text has flown in from the master data ( Sales Text view of the material master ) to the line item view of the sales order. This does not happen automatically. We will have to specifically configure the system to ensure the same. This process of creating new texts and letting them flow across the transactions and determine when and where these texts need to be is called Text Determination. Let us go into the configuration to understand this. Configuration The transaction code for performing text determination is [VOTXN]. The menu path for the same is

[SPRO -> IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Text Control ]

Text Types Each text item ( Material Sales Text ) in the example above is called a Text Type. It internally contains a Text ID. These are configured in the Text Types section. As you can see from the picture below, there are different Text Types depending on the functionality where it is used.

Select the Text Object ( Customer, Info Record..etc ) and select one of the radio button to view the revelant Text Types

The technical name of the Customer Text Object is KNA1 and the different text types associated with KNA1 are displayed below. For example 0001 Sales Note for Customer 0002 Accounting Note

If you want to create more text types, Click on the New Entries button. For example, lets think of a scenario where the customer always insists that we talk to their purchasing head first before ordering. Since this is a special ordering instruction, lets create a new text type for customer text object KNA1.

Text Determination Procedure Now that we have defined the text types, we have to ensure that the conditions are met for the required action to take place. This starts with the access sequence first. There is a standard Text Determination Procedure for Customer Text Object. You can either choose to use it or create new.

Lets start by creating a new Text Determination procedure for illustration purposes. Create a new Text Determination Procedure called Z1

Select the new Text Determination procedure just created and click on the Text IDs in the Text Procedure section as shown below.

Click on new entries to create Access Sequences. For example, we have created a new sequence (10 ) for the Text ID Z001 that we have just created.

Now for the final step, we have to assign this text determination procedure to an actual Customer type ( Customer Account Group ) Currently the customer account group for the standard sold-to party 0001 is assigned to text determination procedure 01. Lets change this to Z1 and see how the texts in the customer master changes. Demo of Customer Master Text Determination: To view the existing text types in the Customer master go to Extras -> Texts in the General Tab.

As you can see the following texts are available for the standard customer master for customer account group 0001 ( Sold-to Party ) Now that we have changed the text determination procedure of the customer master to Z1, we can see the new texts types that we have created for the customer text object KNA1 below.

This concludes the configuration for the text determination in Customer Master. The text determination for other master data ( Material Master , Info Records etc ) is very similar. However, the text determination for transaction data is a little different. Lets see how it is.

Text Determination for Sales Documents The text type definition is very similar to the way we have created for the customer master. Select the Sales Document Header and click on Change. ( Since there are texts both at the Header ( Text Object VBBK ) as well as the line item level ( Text Object VBBP ) , lets choose header for now.

As usual, we can have multiple text determination procedures and assign each to one or more transaction types. Instead of creating a new one, lets examine an existing text determination procedure 01 Sales Header. After selecting the sales procedure, double-click on the Text IDs to know the different text IDs created under it.

As you can observe, there are a couple of differences from the way text IDs are created between Sales Order and Customer master.

You can freely define text IDs , just like you have created them in Customer master. However, since the customer master is Master Data which is a source data, there is no Access associated with that text ID. However, since transaction data like sales orders derive part of their data from the master data ( customer master, material master, vendor master, pricing records, customer material info records ) , we have to define the corresponding source. The Access column defines the source of the text ID. Also, there are 2 more additional columns. Referenced - This means that the text is referenced , not copied over. What this means is that if there is a previous document that the text has flowed in from, if you choose the reference field, then the text ID in the Quotation is referenced. Otherwise its copied over.

Quotation Form Header Header Note 1

-> Order Form Header Header Note 1

In the picture above, the text ID Header Note 1 is referenced whereas the rest are not. What this means is that if the quotations text ID Header Note 1 is changed, the same will be reflected in the downstream document, Order. But any changes to the text ID , Form Header in the quotation will not carry over to the order.

Text is Obligatory As the name implies, this flag ensures that some text is filled up in the text ID either by copying over from the previous document or by filling up in the current document. Lets now move on to the Access Sequences in transactional text determination. This determines the source and the sequence of the sources. Select an Access Sequence (say 01 ) and click on Access Sequences for Text IDs underneath.

If you remember well, this is the Access sequence that was used for the Form Header text ID.

This picture determines the sequence and sources of the texts. What this means is that the text ID , Form Header with access sequence 1 can be based on the following in that order. That means that if a text is found in the Sales order header of the previous document, it is taken in the Form Header Text ID of the current document and the rest are ignored.

For Header Text ID Sales Note from Customer Sales Note from Customer

<-

Sales Order Header ( Of the Previous Document )

<-

Customer Master Sales Texts

<-

Customer Master General Texts

Now that we have determined the source of a text ID and the sequence in which they appear, all that needs to be done now is to assign the text determination procedure to an order type. As you can see, the text determination procedure 01 is assigned to the transaction type OR. Demo of Sales Order Text Determination: Create a new Customer and enter a Sales Note in the General Texts

Create a sales order for this customer and see what comes as the Form Header text ID. In this example, text created as the Sales Note for Customer from the General Text of the Customer master seems to flow down to the Form Header text in the sales order header text.

Lets take this one step further and create a sales area text Sales Note for Customer and see if it supercedes the General text Sales Note for Customer as defined in the Access sequence. Enter a new sales note for the customer for the sales area text .

Now, create a new order of the same order type ( OR ) . You should now be able to see that the newly entered sales text in the Sales Area tab supercedes the text entered in the General Text

This is because, the customer sales texts ( KNVV ) supersedes the Customer General Texts ( KNA1 ) in the Access sequence associated to the text ID Form Header in text determination procedure associated with the sales order of type OR.

Material Listing and Exclusion

Material Listing and Exclusion Tweet Related Trainings
SAP Training SAP SD Training SAP Access Teaching Aid Maerial Listing and Exclusion in SAP SD View more presentations from Magna Training.

Concept Material Listing and exclusion is configuring the system to restrict customers buying choices. For example, if we include a set of materials in the Listing list of a customer, then those are the only materials that customer can buy from us. similarly if we include a set of materials in the Exclusion list of a customer, then those materials cannot be bought from us by that customer.
Material Listing and Exclusion Concept As you can from the Business Scenario section, we are forcing the customer to only order materials M-01, M-02 and M-03. These are in the Include list ( signified in green ). Similarly, we can force the customer to not order from the Exclude list. Those materials are M-04, M-05, M-06. At the time of ordering, if the user enters materials any other materials other than M-01, M-02 or M-03 for the customer for which the include list is configured, the system throws up an error. Same with the exclude list. The include and exclude list are complementary and typically not used together. Lets explore the configuration.

Configuration The configuration for material listing and exclusion follows the familiar condition technique in SAP. The image below shows the menu path for configuring the Material Listing and Exclusion Menu path for configuring material listing and exclusion It is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Listing and Exclusion ] .
The following sections need to be configured starting from the bottom in the sequence mentioned below. Menu path for configuring material listing and exclusion Maintain Condition Tables for Listing/ Exclusion Maintain Access Sequence for Listing/Exclusion Maintain Listing / Exclusion Types Procedures for Maintaining Listing/Exclusion Activate Listing/Exclusion by Sales Order Type Condition Tables are necessary to create the new combination for which this listing or exclusion needs to kick in. Typically this is only done with a Customer and a number of other fields ( You can freely choose from the Field Catalog ). Lets start by examining standard condition table. Here is how to create a condition table for Material Listing and Exclusion . This table 001 comprises of fields Customer and Material. This is the simplest Listing possible. There could be more complex combinations like Customer Hierarchy/Material combination or any other possible combination based on the field catalog. The first picture that you saw with the customer is just for illustration purposes. There could be many ways in which the material listing/exclusion can be triggered based on the fields selection. The next step would be to configure the Access Sequences and listing/exclusion types. After this is done, assign the listing/exclusion condition types to the

o o o o o

listing/exclusion procedure and assign it to a sales document type. Please note that both a listing an an exclusion can be assigned to a sales document type. Here is how to assign Sales Document to Material Listing or Material Exclusion Pricing Procedure. After the configuration is done, you would have to create condition records for the same. This is the Menu Path to Create Condition Records . [VB01] is the transaction code for the same. Enter the list of materials to be listed under the listing type and the list of materials to be excluded under the exclusion type. Material Listing and Exclusion Demo Start creating a sales order for the customer for which you have created the condition records. If you enter the materials that have been listed, you should get no error. However, if you enter any other materials you should get an error message. Similarly, if you enter a material that has been excluded in the sales order you should get an error message also however this time it is because this material is in the excluded list. Example of the error message for a material that is in the exclusion List Example of the error message for a material that is not in the inclusion list Exercises 1. Create an Exclusion Procedure Z0001 2. Assign it to order type OR 3. Ensure that materials M-01 , M-04 can only be ordered by customer 1400

Ans. 2. Date on which goods leave the customer ship-to locationthis should be the date the customer receives the goods. 11. Describe in your own words the difference between backward scheduling and forward scheduling ? Ans. Backward scheduling is the default scheduling process carried out by the SAP system where it takes the customer requested delivery date as base and calculates the other dates by deducting the respective lead times in a backward manner till it reaches the order date. If backward scheduling is not possible, the system will use Forward scheduling to determine the Delivery date. In this the order date is taken as the base date and the lead times are added to determine the delivery date of the material. 12. What is the default scheduling mechanism followed by SAP ? 1. Backward Scheduling 2. Forward Scheduling Ans. Option 1. Backward Scheduling 13. Backward Scheduling in SAP is based on 1. Requested Delivery Date 2. Ordering Date Ans. Option 1.

Forward scheduling: If backward schedule is not possible( if material available date is then past) Then system uses forward scheduling. For this it takes current date + (material availability date, transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time date to determine delivery date. 12) Backward Scheduling. 13) Requested Delivery Date. 14) Ordering date.

1) a)customer requested delivery date is 08/25/2003 and system uses backward scheduling to determine material availability date which is 08/20/2003. b) based on shipping point configuration the pick/pack time is 1 day 2) a) As per shipping point conf, pick/pack time is 1 day and load time is 1 day. therefore the load date is 08/21/2003 and goods issue date is 08/22/2003. 3) 01- Germany standard factory calender. 4)As per route determination the transit time is 1 day and as per the route factory calender 08/23 and 08/24 are holidays and hence the delivery date is 08/25/2003. 5) R00020 6)Transit time is actual time for transporting goods. Transportation lead time is time required for transport vehicles to come to the shipping point. 7) Goods issue day is 04/01/2010. (Not assuming route factory calender)

1. How to view the Factory Calendar in SAP Jan 2011 SAP Training Batch | Magna

Training Blog | SAP Training | Informatica Training | Cognos Training | Sharepoint Training - March 8, 2011
[...] one of the SAP Training students asked how to view Factory Calendar in SAP when discussing Scheduling in SAP [...] Concept : What are Contracts ? Contracts are agreements between the Customer and Vendor to supply materials/services for a specific price between a fixed period of time. Many possible types of contracts

exists based on the types of contracts. For example, there are maintenance contracts, service contracts, quantity contracts, value contracts all of which we will be discussing over the course of this article. The bottom line however remains the same A contract is an agreement between the Customer and vendor to supply goods/materials/services of specific quantity/value for a specific price over a specified period. Lets discuss the different types of contracts. Quantity Contract A quantity contract is an agreement to supply a fixed quantity over a period of time. Since the customer promises to buy the fixed quantity of goods/services, they will get a discounted price.

The document type in SAP for quantity contract is QC. For example, in this example, the quantity contract is for quantity 100 of say material M-01. Release orders are orders created with reference to the contract to consume the quantities in the contract. So the first release order is for quantity 20 which consumes 20 % of the quantity in the contract. Similarly, the rest of the release orders consume the remaining quantity in the contract. Document flows should exist between the contract and the release order types. There are 2 primary reasons why quantity contracts are used. 1. When Quantity is Limited When the production quantities are limited in numbers, then customers are allocated a specific quantity by time -period ( say a month, or a quarter ) . And customers cannot place ad-hoc orders, but have to first sign a contract for a fixed quantity and always order via release orders that specifically refer to the contract. 2. When Vendors want to Lock-in Customer quantities Some times to give deep discounts, sales folks require that customers commit to buying a fixed quantity over a time-period. This satisfies the sales figures . Service Contract A service contract is normally created for service-oriented items examples are annual service contracts, annual maintenance contracts.

For example, when you buy an internet connection from comcast, they are providing services to you for a fixed period say 1 year or 6 months. And for providing those services, they charge you monthly. In this case, there are no release orders because in case of service since there are no logistics operations, directly the customers are invoiced with reference to the contract. In this case, the customer is charged $100 a month for 12 months with a total of $1200. The items in these types of contracts follow billing-plan. Repairs also follow service contract methodology. Master Contract A master contract is used when a particular type of contract is created regularly for a customer and you want all the header data to be consistent across all of the contracts. Normally, the header data of a sales document contains data from the Customer master.

For example, if a contract is created for a customer say 1400, key data like inco-terms, payment terms, delivery preferences, taxability etc flow from the customer master data for that sales area for customer 1400. However, if you consistently change the data in the contract to a fixed value, say the inco-terms should always be FOB Destination for all contracts, while regular sales order have CIP Philadelphia, you can create a master contract for customer 1400 and change the inco-terms in the master contract to FOB Destination. All subsequent contracts that refer to this master contract will have the inco terms as FOB Destination. Value Contract A value contract is very similar to a quantity contract except that instead of a fixed quantity, the value of the contract is fixed ( ie the dollar amount of the contract is fixed ) while the materials that the customers procure could come from either a fixed basket of materials or a single material only.

For example, in the example shown above, the type of contract is a value contract for a specific material WK2. Essentially, this contract is limiting the value of the contract to a fixed dollar value and the customer can release multiple release-orders referring to the value contract for that specific material. If the customer wants to create contracts for specific value and not limit them to a particular material, then an assortment module can be used. The type of value contract that refers to an assortment module is WK1.

An assortment module is a basket of materials ( a fixed set of materials ) without any specific quantities or prices. When some of the materials in the assortment module needs to be used in the value contract, the assortment module is searched for ( by name or number ) and the materials in the assortment module are selected and quantities specified. Price can be either manually specified or automatically done. We will discuss more on this during the configuration section.

Configuration The configuration path for Contracts specifically ( other than document types ) is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Contracts ]

The configuration for master contracts is shown below. The child contracts ( contracts that refer the master contracts ) are called referencing sales documents. We have to first define the contract document types that can reference a particular master contract document. The standard master contract document type in the IDES system is GK.

The child contracts that reference the master contracts are bound by the referencing requirements. The referencing requirements are specified in the reference procedure SDGK. The fields that can be referenced in the lower level contract are specified as technical fields ( Table, Field combination ) along with the copy rule and message. As shown in the picture below, the reference copy rules can

be A Check for Agreement, B Always copy or C Copy only if agrees. These copy rules are used to over-ride customer master derived data ( incoterms, payment terms, taxability etc ) by the data in the master contract header. The message flag is used if a warning message should be shown in case data differs. However, this message cannot be changed to error in configuration.

Contract Profile A contract profile primarily specifies the automatic rules for determining dates ( start date, end date and validity period ) and cancellation procedure. Some of the reasons why they are used could be to automatically populate the dates for some contract types. For example if a particular contract document type always is used for a period of 2 years, then a contract profile with a validity period category of 2 years can be assigned to the document type in Sales document type configuration [VOV8 ]. The validity period for example can be defined as follows.

As shown, the validity period category of Z5 indicates that he contract profile is valid for 5 Years ( 4 is the validity period unit for years ). This finally comes together in the Date determination rules. For example, the date determination rule 08 says the contract end date should be computed based on the contract start date ( as opposed to another date, say goods acceptance date or billing date ) + the contract validity period.

Contract Creation DEMO Transaction Code / Menu Path : [VA41] or [Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Contract -> Create ]. Enter the contract type from the drop downs. The typical contract document types in a standard IDES system are
GK Master Contract

QC Quantity Contract QP Rental Contract Wk1 Value Contract WK2 Material relevant value contract SC Service and Maintenance Contract etc

The start and end dates are either automatically determined ( if there is a contract profile with date determination rules assigned to the contract document type ) or they can be manually entered. For example, in a quantity contract, the target quantity can be entered along with the dates.

Release orders can be created with reference to the contract as follows. You can use OR standard order or you can use any other custom document type created as a copy of OR or otherwise ( however, please be advised that there should be a copy control created between that contract document type and the release order document type ). When creating the release order, click on Create with Reference button on the left top corner. A pop-up will open up. Select the Contract tab. Enter the quantity contract number there or search for it. By default the entire consumable quantity in the original contract is copied over to the release order. However, the quantity can be changed in the release order according to the requirements of the user. The quantity referenced will be deemed as Referenced in the items status of the quantity contract. For example, in this example, there are 2 release orders 12960 and 12961 created with reference to the quantity contract 40000209. The quantity contract is for quantity 100, while the release orders have each released 50 and 25 in quantity. That is the reason why the status of the line item in the quantity contract is in the state Being Processed.

However, after the third release order is being processed for another 25 quantity, the items status in the contract is set to Completed. This is also explained better in Item Category configuration in SAP. Assortment Module To create an assortment module goto [Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Products -> Value Contract -Assortment Module ] OR [WSV2]

You will have to give a name ( in this case Module-1 ), enter the materials and validity dates. Now you can use the assortment value in the value contract by entering the assortment module in the contract. To release the contract however, you will have to select the materials from the value contract. The way you do it is as follows. As usual create the release order with reference to the contract, and during the process of selecting the items in the pop-up, select the line item and click on Expand Assortment

and select the materials and quantities. Depending on the quantities selected, the order will be priced. You can do the same using material specific contracts as well Just that you do not need an assortment module to do the same. Service and Maintenance Contract Service and maintenance contracts typically follow a billing plan that is typically periodic. For example, if you choose the material REPAIR_SERVICE in an ides system in sales area ( 1000,14,00 ), enter the line item and click on billing plan button.

you can see the billing broken down by period In this case month in the billing plan tab of the line item.

REPLY

siva July 13, 2011 at 6:21 am #

You would have to create multiple master contracts. However, as discussed in the class, divisions in SAP are a relic from the past. They just make things inflexible. Most big companies just go with 01 or 00 as the division ( even though they have a wide variety of product lines ). The way they do their segregation/reporting/pricing is either based on material group or sales material groups or most importantly product hierarchies.

Hi Siva, Questions : 1. All Contracts document types require release orders. ( Give examples of document types in either case ) 1. TRUE 2. FALSE Answer: False Service and rental contracts are not moving any physical material goods so no release order or delivery require, Contracts services are related to a billing plan that will be used to generate periodic billing. 2. Why is the Completion Rule of the Quantity Contract Related SAP Item Category set to C? Answer:. In Quantity contract, Item category will be KMN and the completion rule for it is C. Meaning QC document containing KMN Item category will only be considered completely referenced once the target quantity is completely referenced. Completion Rule means when the document

containing this item type can be considered completely referenced 3. What is the Transaction code to create Contracts in SAP ? Answer: VA41 4. Create a Quantity Contract in SAP for Customer 1400 and for material M-01 with quantity 100. Specify the Contract # Answer: 40000223 5. Create a Release Order for a quantity of 50 , with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and specify the Release Order # Answer: Order # 13448 6. Create another Release Order with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and this time, fully reference the quantity and specify the Release Order # Answer: 13449 7. Describe in your own words, why businesses use quantity contracts? Answer: Business (buyer) wants discount price for high volume quantity purchase and do not want shipment at once so this allows the company to plan production and cash flow. Same time seller want to bond buyer that may otherwise fall to the competition at order time if the contract was not in place also guaranty for volume quantity purchase so they plan production accordingly. . 8. A _____________ order is created to release quantity from a quantity contract or value contract Answer: Release Order is created to release quantity from quantity contract or value contract, reference to particular contract no. Scenario 1: Samsung has 1,000 computers in their New Jersey office and are constantly facing issues related to software and aging hardware. ABC Computers Inc., suggests that they enter into a contract whereby they will take care of the computers/software for a fixed yearly fee. Question 9. What kind of contracts would they enter into? Answer: Service or maintenance contract Scenario 2: Samsung likes ABC Computers performance and after 1 year wishes to buy 300 more computers from them. However, since the company wishes to purchase so many computers, they wish to get a discount. Question 10. What kind of contract would they enter into? Answer: Quantity Contract. Scenario 3 : Release Orders for Contracts created ( For Q.9 and Q.10 above ) will have to be created with reference to the contracts. However, the sales personnel entering the contracts might not be aware of the contracts that were created. ABC Computers want to put a system in place so that anytime orders are created for Samsung, they should be reminded that open contracts exist ( if any ) Question 11. What kind of configuration would have to be done to achieve the same in SAP? Answer: GO to [VOV8] Configuration has to be done at the document type( ZOR) under the Transaction Flow Tab in the Outline Agreement Message Insert B (Check at item level) or Insert A (check at header level). So, when an item is entered by the sales personnel on the order, it

checks if that item is available on any other open contracts and gives a message. Thank, Mital

Why is the Completion Rule of the Quantity Contract Related SAP Item Category set to C ? The item category linked to QC and NORM is KMN. Completion rule C stands for item target qty is full referenced which implies that the Quantity target set by Qty Contract needs to be full referenced for the contract to be fulfilled.

Convenience and pricing. Businesses with knowledge of their forecast and production requirements often enter into Qty contracts so that they negotiate better pricing based on volume as well as they do not have to repeat their POs. time to time. On top of that they will have an assured supply of goods. A _RELEASE_ order is created to release quantity from a quantity contract or value contract

Questions : All Contracts document types require release orders. ( Give examples of document types in either case ) FALSE This is false Service and rental do not contain material goods that require delivery, and hence no release orders. Rather they services are related to a billing plan that will be used to generate periodic billing. Why is the Completion Rule of the Quantity Contract Related SAP Item Category set to C ? This value determines when a detail line for a specific material in a quantity contract is flagged as completed. Option C states that the line is completed when the target quantity (the contract quantity for that line) has been fully referenced because orders have been released that reference that contract and material. What is the Transaction code to create Contracts in SAP ? T/Code = VA41 Create a Quantity Contract in SAP for Customer 1400 and for material M-01 with quantity 100. Specify the Contract # Contract 40000240 (customer 19107, material LC-02 quantity 2 someone has messed with material M-01. Create a Release Order for a quantity of 50 , with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and specify the Release Order # Order 25019 ref to contract quantity 1 Create another Release Order with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and this time, fully reference the quantity and specify the Release Order # Describe in your own words, why businesses use quantity contracts? This allows the company to plan production and cash flow. It also is a way to lock in business that may otherwise fall to the competition at order time if the contract was not in place. A release order is created to release quantity from a quantity contract or value contract Scenario 1 : Samsung has 1,000 computers in their New Jersey office and are constantly facing issues related to software and aging hardware. ABC Computers Inc., suggests that they enter into a contract whereby they will take care of the computers/software for a fixed yearly fee. Question 9. What kind of contracts would they enter into ? This would be a service/maintenance contract (sales doc type SC).

Scenario 2 :Samsung likes ABC Computers performance and after 1 year wishes to buy 300 more computers from them. However, since the company wishes to purchase so many computers, they wish to get a discount. Question 10. What kind of contract would they enter into? We can create a quantity contract for the 300 pieces. When creating the contract you can manipulate the pricing conditions. In a test I changed the ZRV1 discount from net from a positive value to a negative, thus reducing the price. You can also add or remove condition types from the contract pricing. Scenario 3 : Release Orders for Contracts created ( For Q.9 and Q.10 above ) will have to be created with reference to the contracts. However, the sales personnel entering the contracts might not be aware of the contracts that were created. ABC Computers want to put a system in place so that anytime orders are created for Samsung, they should be reminded that open contracts exist ( if any ) Question 11. What kind of configuration would have to be done to achieve the same in SAP ? Using VOV8 to maintain the sales order document type (i.e. ZOR) you can select on the outline agreement message options that will warn or prompt the user that contract exists and depending on the option and the number of open contracts present lists for selection. The depending on the options these can occur at either the header or line levels.

Question 1.All Contracts document types require release orders. ( Give examples of document types in either case ) TRUE FALSE Solution: False, Service Contract document does not require a release order Question 2. Why is the Completion Rule of the Quantity Contract Related SAP Item Category set to C ? Solution: Completion Rule, talks about when the document containing this item type can be considered completely referenced. For Quantity contract, Item category will be KMN and the completion rule for it is C. Meaning QC document containing KMN Item category will only be considered completely referenced once the target quantity is completely referenced.

Question 3. What is the Transaction code to create Contracts in SAP ? Solution: VA41 Question 4. Create a Quantity Contract in SAP for Customer 1400 and for material M-01 with quantity 100. Specify the Contract # Solution: QC 40000237 has been created Question 5. Create a Release Order for a quantity of 50 , with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and specify the Release Order # Solution: Release Order 15047 has been created Question 6. Create another Release Order with reference to the SAP Contract created in Q.4 and this time, fully reference the quantity and specify the Release Order # Solution: Release Order 15048 has been created Question 7. Describe in your own words, why businesses use quantity contracts ? Solution: Scenario 1: A company called EMU Organics sells EMU eggs to its customers with regular price. If a restaurant YUMMY Foods approaches EMU Organics asking for 1 Lakh Eggs a year, but limiting 2000 Eggs a week. Now EMU Organics creates a QC with YUMMY Foods for 1Lakh EMU eggs and creates a release order for 2000 Eggs a week. Question 8. A _____________ order is created to release quantity from a quantity contract or value contract Solution: Release Order Scenario 1 : Samsung has 1,000 computers in their New Jersey office and are constantly facing issues related to software and aging hardware.

Ans1: False. Only Contract document types which have physical deliverables require release orders. For e.g. Service contracts and master contract will not require release orders

Ans2: Quantity contract is an agreement to supply fixed qty over a period of time. Since it is a qty contract the contract is followed only if the qty in the contract is fully referenced. The Completion Rule is set to C as it configures the document type to be considered complete when qty is fully referenced. Ans3: VA41 Ans4: 40000268 QC created. Ans5: Release order 14968 created from Qty Contract. Ans6: : Release order 14969 created from Qty Contract And7: Qty contracts are used in two scenarios. One when quantities are limited then customers are allocated quantities by time and they can place orders via release orders only. Secondly when customers want deep discounts the sales people want customers to lock in quantities over a time period. Tis allows the sales people to meet their sales figures. Ans8: Release order.

Status Profile in SAP SD

Status Profile Concept Different user defined statuses can be assigned to a sales order at the header or at the line item level. These statuses are assigned using a status profile. This concept is present in SAP CRM as well. What is more important to understand is the different business scenarios that demand statuses for the sales document.

For example, in typical office situations, quotations beyond a certain sum need to be approved by the sales manager. Lets take a simple IDES example of a ZQT status profile. This status profile has 3 statuses Quotation Approved, Quotation Declined, Quotation Not Approved. If the quotation is not approved, we should configure the system in such a way that an order cannot be created from the quotation. Which means, each status can influence the way the sales orders subsequent steps are performed. We will also look at a more complicated example that has 6 statuses and the sequence in which the user changes the statuses is also controlled via configuration.

Configuration The configuration menu path for Status Profile is as shown in the picture below [ SPRO -> IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Define and Assign Status Profile ]

As already mentioned, status profile can be created for both header and line item level. The procedure is very similar for both of them. So the steps required for creating a status profile at the header level are
o o

Define Status Profile [BS02] Assign Order Types to Status Profile [VOV8]

Lets go through the process of creating the status profile first. Based on the example that we have discussed, select the status profile ZQT which contains the statuses that we have discussed above for the quotation scenario. As you can see from the picture below, there are 3 statuses assigned to status profile ZQT. They are
o o o

NAPP Not Approved APP Approved REJE Rejected

Each of these statuses have a long description and a short description. Just in case you need to maintain a long description, you can select the button highlighted below to create a long description for the status. Also there is a check box called Init. St. . Each document which has a status profile assigned to it, starts with an initial status. The one check marked here will be the initial status. Meaning, if you create a quotation of type QT ( that is assigned to a status profile ZQT ), the user status initially during the creation will be NAPP .

The next thing would be to identify all the allowed business transactions possible for a particular status. You can double click on the status or select the magnifying glass to view the allowed business transactions.

As you can see from the picture above, if the quotation is in status NAPP, then the transactions Create Billing Document , Create Delivery, Create Goods Issue etc are not possible. The only transaction that is possible is Complete which means you can just save the quotation. It makes sense right..? What is the point in doing anything with a quotation that is not approved. This time lets take a more complicated example ( Based on the first picture shown in the concept section ). The business scenario is the installation of a complex equipment ( Say an MRI Scanner ) that the customer has brought from us. After placing the order, there are 6 steps that are involved before invoicing the customer.
o o o o o

The customer has Placed the oder, but the installation procedure was not Instantiated yet. The customer needs to register with us over the web with the order number and that start the installation process. Our Service Representative will visit the Customer location and validate if the site is suitable for the installation of the product. After the site is found suitable physically, the technician will visit the site and make sure that there is proper ventilation, power and cooling available. Only after this final validation will the product be shipped to the customer location. In order to accomplish this, lets create a new status profile ZORD_INS and assign this to the order type OR.

Maintain different statuses ( as discussed above ) for the status profile ZORD_INS. Each of these statuses will have a number ( to the far left below ). And as discussed above, the first status ZNOT will be the initial status. The highest and lowest numbers are a little bit complicated and will be easy to understand in the demo. Nevertheless, the reason why the exist is that not all statuses can be attained before certain statuses are passed. Meaning, you cannot go to status ZINS ( Installation Confirmation ) directly from ZNOT ( Not Initiated ) without going through the other statuses like Initial registration, Site Verification etc. So when the lowest and highest numbers are 10 and 20 against status ZNOT, that means that from status ZNOT, the user cannot place the order in another status beyond 20 Meaning the only way for changing the status of an order in ZNOT status is to first go through status ZREG. This is just a complicated way of saying the statuses need to go lock and step in a particular sequence. This depends on the business scenario and is not always the case.

The next step would be to define all the object types that are effected because of the status. For a standard sales order you can just select Sales Order Header and be done with it. For more complicated scenarios like service orders, equipment masters etc, you would have to select the appropriate object type.

Each of these transaction types are associated with a number of business transactions. You would have to select the new button to import all the business transactions associated with the object type.

After importing the business transactions, you can view them here. Now, you would have to choose and set the influence that the status has on each of the transactions.

Since the order is in its initial stage, we should configure the status to only allow completion ( save ) and forbid any other transactions on the order ( Like billing the order, delivering the order, PGIng the order etc ). Because, until the site is ready, the service engineer has checked the site, there is no point in delivering the transaction or billing the transaction.

Similar to the ZNOT example, go ahead and configure the rest of the statuses and set the influence on the transactions. The next job is to assign the status profile ZORD_INS to the order type OR. That is being shown in the following 2 pictures. That will finish the basic configuration. Lets follow through with a demo and see the effect of our configuration.

Status Profile Demo Lets start by creating a sales order and see the effect of the status profile on the different transactions that we perform.
Goto Header -> Status to see the effect of the Status

Status to view Status Profile src=http://images.magnatraining.com/sap-tutorials/sapsd/status-profile/goto-header-status.gif /> In the status tab, you will see the current status ZNOT ( because this is the initial status after creating the sales order ). If you want to explore the statuses further, click on the Object Status button.

User Statuses are shown here. If there are more than 5 statuses here, you can click on the button highlighted in red below to scroll down and view more.

If you change the status now to 50, you will get an error message as shown below. This is because we have defined the highest step of ZNOT to be 20. That means the only upper status that the status NO. 10 ZNOT can go to is 20. If the user tries to set the status of the sales document to something higher, the system will give an error message.

Similarly, if you try to deliver this order while the status of the sales order is ZNOT, the delivery transaction VL01N will throw up an error message as shown below. This is a way to control the different business transactions that an order can subsequently perform under a given status.

Q.9 What kind of document is SAP Sales Order # 9103? Answer: Sales order # 9103 is consignment Issue. Q.10 Why is the Picking Quantity zero in SAP Delivery # 80012651? Answer: This delivery is related to Consignment issue as the stock is already been picked up in consignment fill up stage and it is in their premises of the customer so it is not picking relevant Q.11 What are the different (COGS and Inventory Account) G/L Accounts corresponding to the Accounting document in SAP Delivery # 80012651 ?

Which

one and why? Consignment Fill-up Consignment Issue Answer: Consignment Fill up need picking for delivery because goods physically move to customers location from unrestricted stock but Consignment Issue which happen at customer location so no need to picking for delivery. Its just changing ownership of goods from company to customers name. Q.13 Are physical goods in an SAP consignments Fill-up document type relevant for Availability check? Give the procedure on how you found out the answer. Answer: Yes, when a consignment fill-up is carried out, the system checks the available quantity of stock in the delivering plant to see if this quantity can be met.

Q. 1 Describe in your own words how a consignment fill-up is different from a regular order ? ( Try to think of the following aspects Accounting, Goods Ownership , Special stock vs unrestricted stock, Customer Premises vs the companys plant location etc ) Consignment is the process of maintaining goods at the customer warehouse by the company for the convenience of the customer usage of goods and still the goods are owned by company until the goods are consumed by the customer from the warehouse. Process of sales happens in four steps, consignment fill-up, consignment pick-up, consignment issue and consignment returns. Consignment fill-up is placing the goods at the warehouse convenient to the customer usage (warehouse could be either customers/companys). It is different to regular order in the following ways when CF order is created, Ownership of the goods is still with Company and not customer. Special stock (consignment stock) goes up and unrestricted stock goes down. There will not be any invoice creation and no documents are posted to cost of goods a/c Q.2 Describe in your own words how a consignment issue is different from a regular sales order ? Delivery happens from the customer warehouse Special stock (consignment stock) goes down Q.3 Describe in your own words, how a consignment issue is different from a consignment fill-up ? No invoice or cost of goods involved in the case of CF, whereas in the case of CI cost of goods

involved, and invoice will be created. Consignment stock goes up in CF, whereas it goes down in CI. Q.4 Why does the SAP Document # 35000000 in our SAP system not have an invoice ? 35000000 is Consignment fill-up order, where cost of goods is not involved. Has item cat KBN, which is just a cons fill-up and not relevant for billing/pricing. Q.5 What is the movement type associated with the corresponding delivery for the Document number specified in Q.4 ? WMS transfer order and Goods issue consignment lending. Q.6 Why is it that material Account Documents are not created for the PGI of the SAP delivery document # 80009740 ? It is just a fill-up (transfer of goods from plant to customer warehouse) and goods are still owned by the company and not consumed by customer. Only the consignment stock goes up and corresponding unrestricted stock goes down. Q.7 What is the total value of the SAP Order # 35000000 and why ? Zero. Not relevant for pricing/billing. Has item category KBN. Q.8 Which field controls the pricing of SAP Line Item No. 10 in the SAP Sales Order Number in Q.7 ? Item category KBN Q.9 What kind of document is SAP Sales Order # 9103 ? It is Consignment issue (CI) Q.10 Why is the Picking Quantity zero in SAP Delivery # 80012651 ? Delivery is created w.r.t consignment issue, Picking the goods from the plant is not relevant for this delivery since the goods are already transferred to customer warehouse in CF movement type of cons.

Week 1. Please start preparing your resume. You can get the sample resumes on our SAP SD Training page. Once you are done, please send your resume to us and I will validate and let you know if its interview ready. Please remember, this is a continuous process and your resume needs tweaking for a long time to come. Week 1 is just the start. In Parallel, please start going through the topics mentioned in additional reading and finish up exercises if any in them. These are important and please do NOT ignore them. The average times to complete the topics are mentioned in the respective section. Start the Mini Live SAP SD Project that has been discussed and send the deliverables (FS, UTS & Blueprint) over to us for validation. You should have got the sample SAP Functional Specification & SAP Blueprint Specification Template by now. If not, please contact us. The average time it takes to complete the deliverables is 1 week ) Week 2. Keep Monitoring your own progress. If you feel you are still not clear on the concepts discussed in the class repeat all the exercises. This should reinforce your understanding. If you have questions as usual keep posting them in the forum and we will answer your questions.

If you feel that you are not able to do the exercises well ( At least 50% ), then sign-up for the SAP SD Training Repeat Classes. There is a small fee for the same ( $199 ). Week 3. Post your resume on popular job portals like dice , monster, Indeed, Corp2Corp etc. Observe the pattern of the calls and requirements and focus on skills that are being repeatedly asked. Also, do not forget to create a LinkedIn profile. Fine-tune your resume based on the requirements. By now you must have got calls or emails about requirements. You will be surprised at how far your resume would have changed by the time you got the job. Do not over-do it though. If you do not get calls or emails about requirements, something is wrong with your resume or the way you have created the account. Please call us and we will do a FREE analysis. Week 4. asdf In Addition, Please keep attending Complementary Classes if any that come along. I will be discussing advanced topics that will make you shine in interviews. Never loose touch with SAP. Always have access to a good SAP ECC system and continuously keep practicing. You could easily loose touch in a matter of months ( if not weeks ) and might feel complacent to start over again. Always keep updating your resume on job portals. Some of the reasons for the same were already discussed in some of the complementary classes. Create LinkedIn Profile and start networking with recruiters. LinkedIn has really come of age and lots of recruiters have dedicated linkedin accounts. Have multiple versions of the resume if required. You never know which one could fetch you that much coveted job. Month 3 Month 4
