6. What is difference between delivery document C scheduling0'elivery doc is the actual delivery that we create in )"*+ for the sales order.'elivery scheduling is the process by which system proposes the confirmed delivery date when a sales order isloaded.5or eg consider that the customer has placed an order on 7th Sep C requested delivery ('' on +/th. 2onsiderthat you have maintained / days as transit time, + day as loading time C + day as pic& pac& time. Then thesystem initially carries bac&ward scheduling from the (''. So from +/th, it will calculate bac&wards. So yourgoods should leave your shipping point by +*th, loading should start by th, pic& pac& should start on 7th.System will see is material is available on 7th. ;f yes, then it will confirm the requested delivery date (''. ;fnot, system will chec& for the material availability date A'. ;f A' is on +*th, then system will do forwardscheduling from +*th. So items can be pic&ed by ++th, loading done on +/th C goods will reach customer on+3th !/ days transit%. So confirmed delivery date is +3th. System will propose this date as delivery date in

shipping view of sales order main screen. This process is called delivery scheduling.

What is the difference between item proposal and material determination product proposal0;tem proposal and product proposal are the same.;tem proposal is the list of materials and order quantities that can be copied into the sales order from thecustomer master data.We use )A4+ to create the item proposal. >ere we get a number. This number is then lin&ed to the customermaster data in the sales view. This is very commonly used.aterial determination is very closely related to item proposal @product proposal and is used to swap onematerial for another in the sales order using the condition technique. ; have not seen aterial determination

What are the statuses0Deneral SA8 Status anagementFseFse the general SA8 status management if you require user status.

StatusThe current processing status of an ob?ect is documented by one or more statuses. A status is an indicator thatfulfills two functions:;t informs you that a particular status has been reached !for example, The order has been released%;t influences the number of business transactions you can perform.;f you execute a business transaction, this can then set or delete one or more statuses for the specified ob?ect.

Eou can set any number of statuses for an ob?ect.Statuses can be displayed in two different ways in the system:As a -*$character textAs a 3$character identification codeoth display variations are language dependent.The system displays the active status of an ob?ect in list form or in a status row. The status row may contain up

to a maximum of eight statuses. Eou use the status profile to define the position in which the application statusis displayed in this row. The system can output several statuses in the same position. The system uses the8riority column in the status profile to determine which status is actually displayed The list display shows allactive statuses !arranged according to position and priority%.A status can be either active or inactive: A status canAllow a business transactionAllow a business transaction with a warning8rohibit a business transaction;f a business transaction is allowed with a warning for a particular ob?ect, the system issues a warning messagewhen you execute the business transaction. Eou can then decide whether to ignore the warning and continuewith the business transaction.Eou want to flag a released internal order for deletion. >owever, the internal order has not yet reached the2losed status. ;n th case, the system first issues a warning indicating that the order has not yet been closed.

To use a business transaction, the following is required:At least one active status must allow the business transaction.

o active status may prohibit the business transaction.Deneral SA8 status management distinguishes between system status and user status.System StatusThe system sets a system status informing the user that the system has executed a certain business transactionfor an ob?ect. Eou can only influence this status by executing a business transaction that changes the systemstatus.;f you release an internal order, the system automatically sets the (eleased system status.Fser StatusEou can set a user status in addition to the existing system status. Eou specify the user status in a status profile,which you create for each order type in 2ustomiBing. Eou can specify and activate any number of user statuses.;n a production order you can simultaneously set the (eleased, 8re$closed printed, and 5inally confirmed

statuses.The system status and the user status influence the business transactions in the same way.Status 8rofileA status profile contains a user$defined quantity of user statuses and rules. Eou can define status profiles incustomiBing for each order type. See the 'efine Status 8rofiles activity in the ;D:The status profile allows you to:'efine the user status and document its functions with a corresponding long text.Assign a status number that specifies the order in which the system reaches the user statuses.'efine an initial status, which is then automatically set when an ob?ect is created.'etermine that a user status is automatically set when you execute a business transaction.8ermit or forbid specified transactions, if a status is active.Status umberFser statuses can be used to determine a sequence for the different steps involved in processing an ob?ect. 5oreach step, you specify a user status and give it a status number Eou should assign these status numbers so thatthey are reached in ascending order.


4/22

;f you assign a status number to a user status, specify a lowest and highest status number for the user status.These numbers limit the status number interval from which the subsequent user statuses can be chosen.Eou require the user status to monitor individual steps during construction of a building. Eou create thefollowing user status in a status profile:Status number Status Short text "owest status number >ighest status number+* 8"A 8lanning +* /*

/* A8() 8lan approval +* -*-* 2ST 2onstruction -* 3*3* >')( >andover -* 4*4* 28" 2ompleted 4* 4*The system usually wor&s through the statuses in numerical order !status numbers%. ;n this example however, itwould be impossible to change directly from status 8"A to status 2ST, because from status number +* youcan only switch to maximum status number /* A8(). Similarly, once you reach the 2ST, you can no longerreturn to the 8"A or A8() statuses.ActivitiesTo activate general SA8 status management for internal orders, assign the status profile that you require to theappropriate order type in customiBing for internal orders !see the 'efine 9rder Types ;D activity%.

What is #xtract used in condition tech. in pricing0

2ondition technique used condition table, condition type, access sequence, pricing procedure to determinepricing information.

What is the use of pricing date in condition type08ricing date is the date in which the condition records are accessed. 5or e.g.: lets say you have the price of thematerial as +***(s till ar /**7 as per the validity period of condition record and from April the same price ofthe material is /***(s as per the validity period of the condition record. ow your pricing date in the Sales docdetermines as which price should be ta&en into account. >ope you are clear now.

What is the lin&@control between sales and distribution and quality0When a complaint is executed. Say, a faulty material is returned bac& to plant from the customer@consignee. Thematerial is ta&en in to the bloc&ed stoc&, where by the quality lin& is involved. ;tMs the responsibility of thequality department to chec& the complaint and approve. ThatMs the reason we have billing bloc& before issuing

credit note@memo to the customer.

>ow is access seq. controlled0An access sequence !search strategy% is defined for each condition type !except header and manual conditiontype% in pricing procedure.+. #ach access performed during pricing procedure, the access sequence is made using condition table./. Access sequence is a search &ey for condition record, which made up of &ey fields.-. Access sequence searches the condition records from most specific to the most general.

#xample: Suppose you create a sale order for material $+* for 2ustomer +4**. and you had maintained thecondition records for that material +** ;( for per material. andyou also maintained the condition record for 2ustomer+4**@aterial $+* also i.e. for that particular materialand for that customer the aterial price is * ;(. ;n that condition the system pic& the material price as *

There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whethera handling unit is only planned or if the ship$to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, orwhether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue.

putaway, pic&ing, and stoc& transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.A handling unitPs mobility can be limited if quality chec&s are active. 2hanges in the stoc& category caused by aquality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selectioncriteria such as material, pac&ing instruction, or storage location.Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it byrepac&ing the materials it contains. All the pac&ing functions, such as pac&ing, repac&ing, and unpac&ing, arecompletely supported by the handling unit functionality. ;n this way, handling units can be created in

production, during goods receipt, or in the pac&ing areas of the warehouse. ;f you have automatic pac&ing, thehandling unit is created from the pac&aging proposals defined in the system !from the pac&ing instructions, forexample%
