I welcome you to 5th day of this training




Before i talk about what is available in SAP BI content,i would like to share with you some functional part of Sales and Distribution. I request you to first go through the Day 2 lesson. Then I would also request you to through what is Business content in my blog.




To make things easy ,  i would like to classify the SD module in three major areas.

1. Sales 
2. Distribution and
3. Transportation

Lets understand Sales first

Sales:-This focuses on Quotation/orders , delivery , invoice and returns their quantities,values and numbers.

Distribution: 

The focus for this area is fulfillment rate,delivery performance to customer requested date,delivery performance to Scheduled commitment date,number of orders items quantities not delivered . Backlogs for customer , material and time frame is also a focus for this area.A delivery note indicates that goods have been shipped. A delivery note is sometimes referred to as a packing slip.

Transportation:-

For business this area is also important from analytical point of view to see vehicle utilisation,loading time, transporation time, delays and costs.

Hey friends , i am sure you are not finding it very clear.. Don't worry I am coming  back tomorrow with an example . Now i need to sleep now. Will have to for a trekking in morning...Till then enjoy your time.

Hi Welcome back..lets take one by one using an example:-


Lets say you own a IT company XYZ and you want 60 laptops , you are calling the vendor www.globalbsc.com to buy these laptops from them.

1.  XYZ-->globalbsc : Please let us know the prices at what you can deliver 60 laptops
2. globalbsc--> XYZ:  Sends a document which is called Quotation
3.  XYZ-->globalbsc :We agree to the prices at which you are selling and they confirm .
4. globalbsc  : Creates a document which is called sales order The sales order is an important document - it tells everyone to get busy filling that order. As such, this document is important for planning production, creating purchase orders, and scheduling resources.

All the above steps cover the Sales .
