Introduction

This article addresses the requirement and significance of SD application in LO extraction. This article gives you a brief overview of SD application module relevant for BI. The first part deals with Functional flow, Transaction, Tables and their relations.

In SD overview we learn 3 important areas of SD where we do OLAP analysis. Those are.

Sales

Sales allow you to execute different business transactions based on sales documents defined in the system.

Four groups of sales documents are differentiated:

Customer inquiries and quotations Sales orders Outline agreements, such as contracts and scheduling agreements Complaints, such as free of charge deliveries, credit and debit memo requests and returns

Shipping

Shipping is an important part of the logistics chain in which guaranteed customer service and distribution planning support play major roles.

In shipping processing, all delivery procedure decisions can be made at the start of the process by

Taking into account general business agreements with your customer Recording special material requests Defining shipping conditions in the sales order

The result is an efficient and largely automatic shipping process in which manual changes are only necessary under certain circumstances.

Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

This component includes the following functions:

Creation of:
