How to create a Sales Order in SAP (Part 1)

webmaster — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:21:50 +0000

In this session, we are going to understand how to create a sales order in SAP SD. For more tutorials like these or for SAP Training, please visit Magna Training.

Business Scenario: A customer has placed an order with company ABC Computers Inc., for 10 computers to be delivered on 10th of March. The customer typically pays with Net30, but this time for this order, he wants a Net 60 payment terms.

Step No. 1: Use the Transaction Code [ VA01 ] to create the Sales Order in SAP. Alternatively, you can use the menu path as shown in the picture below [ Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Order -> Create ]

Step No. 2: Use the document type ‘OR’ in the field Order Type.

Select a Customer ( say 1400 ) and enter some text in the Customer PO Number field and either hit the return key or the Green check mark button. This will ensure that SAP will validate the data you have entered.

Step No. 3: Enter a material number and quantity. We have chosen a material of M-01 (representing Computer product) and a quantity of 10 based on the scenario. As you can see, the corresponding material descriptions and other information is automatically pulled up by SAP.

Step No. 4: As you can see, SAP automatically proposed a Requested Delivery date (28/02/2011) from the picture above. This data is retrieved from the lead time configuration in the Sales Order. However, since the customer has requested that the goods be delivered on March 10th, let’s change the requested delivery date.

Hint: Always change the Requested Delivery Date before you enter the line items.

Step No. 5: Since the customer has requested a change in the Payment terms, let’s select the right payment terms from the SAP Search Help.

Since the customer has requested a payment terms of NET 60, we are choosing a payment terms of ‘0004’ – Within 60 days due net.

Step No. 6: If you are done with creating the Sales Order in SAP, click the save button to finish the order. SAP will display the order number at the bottom.

In the next parts of this series, we will discuss more about how to manipulate more fields in the SAP sales order and the business significance of those fields.

SAP Sandbox onDemand

Well I can say that this is a long awaited SAP launch and that will provide help to many users worldwide. If you’re like me, at a certain point in your SAP career, you felt the need to have your own SAP sandbox. Being for professional purposes or for your own personal skillset build, an SAP sandbox system is always handy and you can’t well perform this kind of experiments on your client development system.

Up until now, there weren’t many (viable) available solutions. There are some companies that provide you a paid service for you to have your own SAP system/client but usually expensive for most of us.

This month Learning on Demand by SAP launched a new service called SAP Sandbox onDemand, which consists of an SAP ECC 6.0 system with sufficient basic data, such as customer and vendor master data, to enable substantial experimentation.

Using this system, users can access the core ERP functionality of modules such as FI and CO, SD, HR and MM and can write and test ABAP code and modify SAP Netweaver settings and configurations. This offering will provide interested individuals with the ability to reinforce their existing SAP ERP knowledge and skills through experimentation in a live but safe environment. It will also enable you to clarify areas of ambiguity in your knowledge or to test new functionality that they may be considering for an existing or new client.

Given that the SAP Sandbox onDemand is accessed via an SAP WebGUI, there is no need to install any client-side software on your PC, so you can start using the system immediately after receiving your access details.

Comparing with other and existing offers, SAP Sandbox onDemand has a fair price in my perspective: US$80 for 30 days access.
