SAP SD Interview Questions & Answerswith Explanations

1. What Stands for SPRO?

A) SPRO stands for SAP Project Reference Object

SPRO is used to configure the SAP System as per clients requirement. IMG (Implementation Management
Guide) menu which you will find customization settings for all SAP modules, will be shown after executing SPRO
transaction.
2. What is Functional Specs?

A) Functional specification is a comprehensive document which describes the desired functionality. It contains
technical information and data. It describes the scope, current functionality and desired functionality of a
function/transaction

3. What a new about SAP ECC 6.0?

A) SAP ERP Central Component 6.0 provides more than 300 functional enhancements that can improve
process efficiency. In addition, it integrates the functions of most SAP industry solutions so that these
solutions no longer need to be installed and set up separately.
The new SAP software also simplifies daily business tasks through more appealing and integrated userinterface concepts that increase user productivity and satisfaction
for example, by enabling the use of Duet software for integrating Microsoft applications. Go to the
solution browser tool for SAP ERP to find out more. This tool allows you to identify new SAP features and
functions and their business benefits in a given release of SAP ERP and enhancement packages.
After you upgrade your old version to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the SAP functionality of your
application without performing a further upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology - the SAP
enhancement packages for SAP ERP.
The enhancement packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP.
They enable you to take advantage of the latest software innovations while minimizing disruption to ongoing
operations. You can implement selected SAP components and then activate selected business functions and
enhancements on demand to meet your business requirements. This unique delivery and deployment method
for enterprise software, enabled by the flexibility of enterprise Service-Oriented
Architecture (enterprise SOA) , lets you access new ERP functions while holding on to your core functions.
As a result, you can isolate the impact of software updates and quickly bring new SAP functions online
through shortened testing cycles without impeding core business processes.
4. What is Variant Configuration? What are the type of questions we can expect in that ?
A. Variant configuration is used where you have a configurable material like computer (made up of components
like processor, monitor, keyboard, mouse etc). These components are called as characteristics in variant config.
Again this will be having values like processor can be either P4 or P3, monitor can be 15" or 17" etc. Based on
the values selected the variant pricing will happen using the condition type VA00.
Possible questions you can expect are: - What is variant configuration? What is characteristic?
- What is value? - What is class? - What is configuration profile? - What is dependency and what are the
types? - What is a variant table?
5. SAP SD Customer Groups Sales Distribution Module OVS9?

A. SAP's Sales and Distribution module is quite comprehensive and contains various features for analysis. One
such feature within SAP SD is the creation of Customer Groups. Simply speaking, customer groups are part of
the customer master data in SAP IMG. Customers are assigned to a particular customer group by assigning a
two digit alphanumeric key. Such customer group key needs to be assigned to each and every customer master
records. The main benefit of customer groups is that it can be used in generating statistics and creating condition
records such as records for pricing.
One example which I can give is suppose you create two sets of customer groups, say Customer group A1 for
domestic sales and Customer group A2 for international sales. You can choose to give discount to customer
group A1 which are customers in the domestic market by creating a pricing condition for group A1. Customer
groups can be created in SAP SD user the following menu path:
IMG >> Sales & Distribution >> Master Data >> Business Partners >> Customers >> Sales >> Define Customer
Groups
Alternatively, one can use the transaction code OVS9. One needs to simply define a two digit alphanumeric
customer group key. Once defined, the same can be assigned to a customer master record using the transaction
code VD02. Such custoomer master key can be made mandatory for all customer master records.
6. Tel about the Order to Cash Cycle ?
A. A customer orders some items from your company by creating a sales order
(Tcodes: VA01, VA02, VA03, Tables: VBAK, VBAP etc).
Your company decides to deliver the items ordered by the customer. This is recorded by creating a outbound
delivery document (TCodes:VL01N, VL02N, VL03N, Tables: LIKP, LIPS etc).
Once the items are available for sending to the customer, you post goods issue which reduces your inventory
and puts the delivery in transit. This will create a material document. You will post goods issue using VL02N but
the material document created will be stored in tables MKPF, MSEG.
You will then create shipment document to actually ship the items. (Tcodes: VT01N, VT02N, VT03N, Tables:
VTTK, VTTP etc).
You finally create a sales billing document. (TCodes: VF01, VF02, VF03, Tables: VBRK, VBRP etc). This will
have a corresponding accounting document created that will be in BKPF, BSEG tables.
When customer pays to your invoice, it will directly hit your Account Receivables account in FI.
You will have to remember that these are not a required sequence. Some times, you may configure your system
to create a SD invoice as soon as you create a sales order or you may not create a shipping document at all.
This is the position where Functional Consultant would come into picture and study the company's order to cash
process and configure the SAP system to do so.
7. Explain how we will configure milestone billing , periodic billing and which scenario we will use?
A. Menu path: IMG->sales & distribution->Billing->billing plans->define billing plan types.
You set the start date and end dates if applicable to the type of billing you are using. What time to be billed (end
of month, start of month etc..)
Milestone is a billing plan type where a customer is billed for the amount distributed between the dates until total
value is reached eg: if the total billing amount is 1000 USD for a year. You will bill the customer in different
amounts say 200, 500, 300 at different intervals as per customer agreement.
On the other hand Periodic billing is billing the customer for the total amount(here 1000 USD) at regular intervals
periodically until the customer agreement is reached. eg: 1000/12 for a 1 year agreement and say billed at the
1st day of every month
Explanation for Billing Plan for Milestone Billing

Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing dates in the billing plan. As
each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of the entire project cost or
simply a pre-defined amount. During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category
whether a billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan ,The type of billing plan that is determined at this
point is set up in Customizing and cannot be changed in the sales document. Billing plans for periodic billing and
milestone billing plans for project-related milestone billing have different overview screens so that you can enter
data relevant to your processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :1.

Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.

Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and construction projects. Such
projects often include a series of milestones that mark the completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP
R/3 System, milestones are defined in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work.
The milestones are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System confirms that the milestone
is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the basis of the requested
delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual schedule lines of the
item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have been billed :

For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing date is:
1. fixed
2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
planned billing date for the date
8. why to Search for a transaction code ?
A. If you're not sure what a transaction code is, or you know the transaction code but can't find it in the menu,
use this transaction:
Type in the transaction code, or part of the name e.g. sales order. Any transaction name with that text in it will be
shown, along with the menu path
9. How many clients we will create in land scape (like in development server, quality server, production
server ) if we are creating more than one in each server what is exact use of that client ?
A. Client landscape : Basic layout : dev -testing- production also
- Sandbox server . for trial and error
- Development server for actually creating transports(CTS)
- Global server. If you have global implementations at different client locations (eg; canada, US, UK) (for testing
purposes with actual master data as well)
- Testing server.(for regression testing purposes before moving to prodcution, integration etc..)
- Production server is the actual production system
The clients could be variable and could be created to a specific server . usually a developed. where abap,
functional would mess around. say : client 100-functinal consultants ,client 300- abapers ,client 400- other
users(like super etc)
10. What is the Definition of Transaction?
A. A transaction in SAP is like a program in normal computer languages, and is identified by a four-character
transaction code. A transaction can be initiated directly from the command field on the presentation interface or
from the corresponding menu option. There are two kinds of transactions: report and dialog transactions.

Report transactions are SAP programs that collect selection parameters from the selection
screen followed by the output called the lists.
Dialog programs consist of more than one interactive screen called a dynpro. These transactions
sometimes also need pre selected information for triggering them, not unlike the explicit selection
screens in report programs; these are called parameter transactions.

11. What are the responsibilities of "CORE TEAM" and "FUNCTIONAL TEAM" in an implementation?
A. Core Team are the power users who are selected for the SAP implementation. The Functional Team gather
the initial implementation requirement from these core team users who will be the bridge between the SAP
Functional Team and their department users with the expert work knowledge.

12.Whether it is possible to have a Customized of Transaction code or self defined transaction code in
SAP?
A. One of the most asked question in a SAP interview is whether it is possible to have a self defined
transaction code in SAP. The answer to the question is simple and if given tactfully can impress the
interviewers.

To start with, yes, self-defined reports, transactions or functions are possible within SAP. There might be
numerous reasons why a company might go in for customized transaction codes or for that matter reports. To
cater to this demand, SAP allows creation of user-defined transaction codes.
Creating a transaction code allows the user to speed up access to specific reports/programs as the user
no longer needs to use transaction code [SA38]. Thus, instead of using T-Code SA38, then entering the program
name or report name and pressing execute, the same can be done directly through a pre-defined T-Code. The
user can then simply use a transaction code, which will automatically open the program. In SAP customized Tcodes can be created through transaction code [SE93].

13. How to Find the Frequently used SAP Transaction code?

A. If you are the kind of person who stores his frequently used SAP transactions in his memory instead of his
favorites folder, you might from time to time run out of memory and experience some difficulties to
remember a specific transaction code.
On the other hand, if you work with the SAP menu and spare a bit your memory, you might also have some
problems from time to time to find your way back in the SAP menu to a specific transaction.
Here are 2 tips to find back your transactions. The first one is more targeted towards specialists as you might
need advanced authorizations to run it while the second one is more generic and standard.
Using table TSTCT Executing transaction SE16 on table TSTCT and selecting as language field (SPRSL) EN
for English, you may try and find transaction codes based on their texts. Note that you may use * generic
characters in the text search and that the search IS case-sensitive.
Using transaction SEARCH_SAP_MENU As its name indicates, transactions SEARCH_SAP_MENU searches
the SAP menu for a transaction code or text you specify and outputs the directory path to the transactions.
Note that not only transactions are matched against the search text but also transactions directories themselves
(they are easily recognized because they have no associated transaction code in the resulting list). Another big
advantage of this method is that the search IS NOT case-sensitive
14. what is the method of time saving Transactions ?
A. System transaction codes can be entered in the command field to go directly to a transaction or a function.
The following conventions are important time-saving tips for using transaction codes
/n cancels the current transaction
/nxxxx initiates the specified transaction directly from an another transaction
/o displays an overview of sessions
/oxxxx initiates the specified transaction in a new session
/nend ends the logon session with a confirmation pop-up window
/nex ends the logon session without a confirmation pop-up window
/i deletes the current session
15. What are posting Keys and How are they used while making postings?
A. Posting Keys are defined at Client Level. Posting keys determine whether a line item is a debit or credit as
well as the possible field status for the transaction. In this context, it is essential to understand the factors that

determine the field status of a transaction. The field status within a FI document is controlled by Accout Type,
field status of Posting Key and the field status of the G/L account.
Modifying the SAP delivered Posting keys are not recommended. if a posting key is to be modified the best
possible action is to copy the posting key that needs to be modified and then modify the copy. we can define the
posting keys using the transaction OB41.
It also determines the account type to which the debit or credit is to be made and whether it is Spl G/L
transaction. If it is a Spl G/L transaction, then the field for Spl G/L indicator becomes required entry.
16. what is the method of Automatic Account Assignment in SD ?
A .During goods issue in the sales cycle, the system is usually configured to update the relevant GL accounts
automatically and to create the relevant accounting documents. This customization in IMG is also called material
account assignment and is achieved through a number of steps as detailed below:
1. Determine valuation level (Company Code or plant).
2. Activate valuation grouping code and link it with the chart of accounts for each valuation area.
3. Link valuation class with material type (FERT, HAWA, HALB, etc.) with the account category
reference (combination of valuation classes).
4. Maintain account modification codes for movement types.
5. Link account modification codes with process keys (transaction/event keys).
6. Maintain a GL account for a given combination of chart of accounts+ valuation grouping code +
account modification code + valuation classes.
The process of Automatic Account Determination is as follows:
1. Depending on the plant entered during goods issue (GI), the Company Code is determined by the
system which in turn determines the relevant Chart of Accounts.
2. The plant thus entered in goods issue determines the valuation class and then the valuation grouping
code.
3. The valuation class is determined from the material master.
4. Since the account modification code is assigned to a process key which is already linked to a
movement type, the transaction key (DIF, GBB, AUM, BSX, etc.) determines the GL account as
posting transactions are predefined for each movement type in inventory management
17. What are the Movement types in MM ?
A. In SAP Materials Management, goods movement is distinguished using a three digit key which is called the
movement type. The movement type is important because it controls the screen layout, adjustment of
inventories, the GL account for financial purposes etc. Goods movement have been discussed elaborately here.
The various types of material movement types in SAP materials management MM are given below:
Movement Type and Goods Movement
101 Goods receiving for ordering
104 Goods receiving blocking status for ordering
122 Return delivery to suppliers
201 Goods outflow (W A) to cost centers
221 Goods outflow to project
231 Goods outflow to customer order
241 Goods outflow to factory
251 Goods outflow to sales
261 Goods outflow to order
291 Goods outflow for all account allocations
321 Release from quality checking
551 Goods outflow for scrap

321 Release from quality checking

451 Returns from customers
453 Inventory to inventory transfers
501 Goods receiving without order
511 No cost delivery
521 Internal goods receiving without manufacturing order
561 Inventory taking
18. what are Types of Stock ?
A. Used in the determination of available stock of a material, the Stock Type is the sub-division of inventory at a
storage location based on the use of that inventory. In SAP, there are many kinds of stock types:
Valuated Stocks are the stocks which belongs to your company. There are three types of valuated stocks

Unrestricted Stock is the physical stock that is always available at a plant/storage location
Quality Inspection Stock is not counted for unrestricted use and may be made available for MRP. To give
an example, you want to do inspection on arrival, you shift your stock to Quality inspection stock then you
do the quality inspection
Blocked stock is not counted as unrestricted stock and is not available for MRP.

Non Valuated stock is the stock which you will keep in your premised and this is not valuated in your company

The GR-blocked stock denotes all the stock accepted conditionally from the vendors. This stock is not
considered available for unrestricted use. You will use the Movement Type 103 for the GR-blocked
stock and Movement Type 101 is used for a normal GR.

Special stock is the stock managed separately that does not belong to company or that are stored at particular
location
18. Explain & How is Stock Transfer between Plants happens?
1- Step Transfer
This process describes to transfer the material stock between plants 1-step. This type of stock transfer can only
be carried out in Inventory Management. Neither Shipping in the issuing plant nor purchasing in the receiving
plant is involved in the process. Transferring stock in one step has the following characteristics: The stock
transfer is entered as a transfer posting in Inventory Management. Creating a reservation can plan the transfer
posting. The quantity of the stock transferred is posted immediately from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing
plant to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of
the material in the issuing plant. If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between
plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents for
the transfer posting. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.
2- Step Transfer
This process describes to transfer the material stock between plants in 2-step. This type of stock transfer can
only be carried out in Inventory Management.
If you post a stock transfer from plant to plant using the two-step procedure, you post the removal from storage at
the issuing plant first. After you post the removal from storage, the quantity being transferred is managed in stock
in transfer at the receiving plant. It is not yet part of unrestricted-use stock, however. You post the placement into
storage at the receiving plant in a second step. Only then are the event completed and the transferred quantity
part of unrestricted-use stock.
Possible reasons for carrying out the a stock transfer in two steps may be: The plants are located at quite a
distance from each other and the goods are in transit for a prolonged period of time; or there is one employee
responsible at each plant, and each can only post movements for his/her own plant.

19. Explain what is Physical Inventory?

Main Business Scenario: Your enterprise has to carry out a physical inventory of its warehouse stocks at least
once per fiscal year to balance its inventory. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
In a periodic inventory, all the enterprises stocks are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. Every
material has to be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
In the continuous inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously throughout the entire fiscal year. In this
case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the fiscal year.
You can also implement special procedures, such as cycle counting (physical inventory at regular intervals) and
inventory sampling (physical inventory of randomly selected stocks).
Physical Inventory types:
Periodic; Sampling; Continuous; Cycle Counting
With both continuous and periodic inventory types, the following stock types can be included in the physical
inventory:
-Unrestricted use stocks in warehouse
-Quality inspection stocks
-Blocked stock
The cycle counting inventory method creates a physical inventory document only for stock type 1 (unrestricted
use). The inventory sampling procedure is only applicable to stock types 1 (unrestricted use) and 2 (quality
inspection stocks).
The Physical Inventory Process: Create physical inventory document->Set blocking indicator->Print physical
inventory document->Enter count results->List of differences->Post differences
Physical Inventory Number:
The physical inventory number was created as an additional hierarchy above the physical inventory document
number. You can use it to group together different physical inventory
documents that belong together organizationally.
You assign physical inventory numbers when you create and change physical inventory documents, and you can
use them as an extra selection criterion for physical inventory reports. This enables you to directly display the
physical inventory documents per storage location, customer, or vendor.
If you have not finished entering the complete physical inventory count, you can freeze the book inventory
balance in the physical inventory document to prevent goods movements from changing the book inventory
balance relevant to the physical inventory count, which would result in incorrect inventory differences. You define
in Customizing for Inventory Management whether you can freeze book inventory balances in the storage
location.
When entering a physical inventory count with reference to a physical inventory document that contains many
items with a quantity of zero, you can set zero count automatically for all items that have not yet been counted.
In Customizing for Inventory Management, you can define the following value tolerances for posting inventory
differences for a user group:
maximum amount per physical inventory document maximum amount per document item

Relevant tables:
IKPF: Header: Physical Inventory Document
ISEG: Physical Inventory Document Items
20. What is the function of counter in pricing procedure ? Please explain with an example ?
A. Counter is used to show a second mini-step within an actual step. For example, you may have all your freight
charges assigned to step 100, however there may be three condition
types, each representing a different freight charge. Thus you can assign a freight condition type to step 100
counter 1, another to step 100 counter 2; another to step 100 counter 3; and so on
21. What is the use of VPRS, EK01 and Ek02? For material cost we are using VPRS why we need EK01 and
EK02 ?
A. VPRS is the internal price condition which is copies from material master and can not be manual procss.It is
mainly used to calculate revenue sv from particular material. EK01 is for actual costing EK02 is for calculates
costing for costing purpose.
22. What is the purpose of the request number which is generated when u save a customization?
A. The request number is attached to a transport that is used to move your non-cross client customizations to a
different client.
A. Request # will be of format SysIdKxxxxxx, where sys id is your DEV(development), QAS (Quality) or PRO
(Production) clients, letter K followed by a 6 digit number. Each rask in IMG is attached with a Req #. When we
need to transport the requests from 1 client to another Eg: DEV to QAS, we 1st need to release lower level
requests followed by higher level requests using SE09 / SE10. Only then we will sbe able to transport them
which Basis guy does
23. What is the advantage of using the text as a reference instead of duplicating it?
A. In general: Referencing avoids data entry errors and allows a standard message relayed. And To reduce load
on the system referencing is considered better than copying.
24. where is Integration happened between the SD and FI-CO ?
A. A key feature of an enterprise data system such as SAP is integration of function where events occurring in
the system cause accounting entries to be made automatically when the events happen. This means that there is
no lag between events and the books.
To facilitate this process SAP uses this basic method:

The account key determines the type of price and discount calculation made
The type of sales revenue posting to feed data into profitability analysis
The customer master record is the source for data
The material master record is the source for data on what was shipped from inventory

25. WHAT IS CO06, HOW CAN WE DO THE BACK ORDER PROCESSING THERE ?

A) CO06 is used for backorder processing.

Procedure : Access Backorder Processing

1. Call up the backorder processing.

You can call up the backorder processing using the transaction CO06 The system calls up the initial screen
for processing backorders.
2. Enter the material number of the material to be processed as well as the plant.
The system checks availability according to ATP logic.
The system calls the overview of backorder processing. In this screen, the system displays the plant stock or the
storage location stock, the open sales orders or the dependent reservations and the scheduled receipt elements.
The texts for the receipt and issue elements correspond to the texts that appear in the MRP list. The various
stocks (individual customer stock, and so on) and the storage locations are displayed and managed in separate
segments.
Processing Sales Orders : The system highlights sales orders or customer requirements that have not yet been
completely confirmed or for which no receipt has yet been scheduled. The missing parts are
Displayed in the column Requirement/receipt.
1. Double-click the sales order or customer requirement, which is to be confirmed.
In the lower part of the screen, the system displays the detailed data of the selected sales order for the selected
date.
The following data is displayed in detail:
o Open quantity : Total requirement quantity of the sales order or the customer requirement.
o Material availability date : Date by which sufficient quantities of the item must be available.
o Total confirmed quantity : Quantity that has been confirmed (in sales order management when
creating the sales order or in backorder processing).
o Confirmed quantity : In this field you can enter the quantity that is to be allocated (that is, confirmed)
in backorder processing.
o ATP quantity : Quantity which can be used when planning open requirement quantities.

2. Enter the quantity which, according to the ATP quantity, you can allocate to the requirements in the
Confirmed quantity field.
4. Save your entries. : Note : You can process backorders for sales orders only for materials for which you
have set the indicator Individual requirements in the material master record (MRP 3 view, Availability check field).
Dependent reservations, stock transfer requisitions and stock transfer orders are processed at the same time.
Note : To do this, choose Settings Only SD requirements. From the sales and distribution point of view,
backorder processing can also be set in such a way that only the requirements necessary for SD are displayed
as missing parts. From the sales and distribution point of view, backorder processing can also be set in such a
way that only the requirements necessary for SD are displayed as missing parts. To do this, choose Settings
Only order reservations.
26. What are the condition conversion and customer/material conversion in the Organization structure,
how do you navigate? Please answer with example?
A) In the Organization Structure if you have more than one distribution channel and division then you have to go
for common Dist. Channel t/c VOR1 and similar for division VOR2 or SPRO>Sale and Distribution>Master A)
DCDC and DCD

27. In consignment fill up we delivery goods to customer site, is there any agreement with customer? if
yes what type of agreement(relating price)?if no with out agreement how can we place rupees lacks of
amount to customer site?
A) Yes, there is always an agreement that the customer will sell or consume the materials. Billing is done only
when the customer actually sells or consumes the materials. The unsold goods or unused materials are our
materials and the customer can return them (if he wants). Materials may be kept at either customer's site or our
site. Ownership of material passes only in case of :
1) Consignment Issue : from us to customer i.e. when the customer actually sells or consumes the material.
2) Consignment Return : from customer back to us.
It does not pass in case of : Fill-up or Pick-up.

28. When will you combine deliveries into one invoice?

A) 1 we will combine multiple deliveries into one invoice, when the bill to party , payment terms and billing
date is same. And also when billing date, that means billing is done only once in a month for that particular
customer, then you combine all deliveries of that month create invoice
A) 2 In one scenario it depends up on the customer master data in the following way if that specific
customers have multiple ship to parties as mentioned in partner functions of the master data of the customer and for all
these ship to parties there will be unique bill to party or payer this takes place. If the confirm delivery date of materials
to different ship to parties must be unique.

3)In another scenario it depends up on the availability check in the following as it depends up the
checking group if the system finds collective requirement in the checking group of this material master
record of the specified material it combines all the deliveries and transfers to the billing document as one
invoice.

29) How to stop PGI?

A. We Can't stop PGI (Post Goods Issue ), if u want to reversal u can use VL09 and then cancelled delivery to use
transaction VLO2N.

30) Tell me a few tickets handled by you during your support?

A1. Material Discount was not included in Pricing Procedure.
3. Tax was not configured in Pricing.
4. Material was required to be substituted by some other material during unavailability.
5. It was required to assign new Partner to Customer.
6. It was required to make some fields in Material Master as required entry
A2. first of of all tickets are the requirement which comes from client side or by the end users .the
ticket which i faced was client wants to give discount if customers pay within given period of time say
20days he will get 10% discount and 5% 10days before 20days and 2% 5 days before 10days.My problem is
that i am unable to insert 2%discount in terms of payment how to solve it.

2nd Ticket was client wants transportation zone in pricing which not maintained in field catalog,
3rd Ticket was client wants vprs should be his selling price i.e pr00 should not be maintained.

31) User-specific parameters means? How to create that one?

A) These parameters are specific to the logon user id. you can access this by going to pull down main
menu--System- User Profile--> Own data--> in that the 3rd Tab page.
A 2> These are module specific parameters which serve different purposes. Ex-EFB parameter for MM
Purchase order-Prices display

32) Explain to me in detail Alternate condition base value, and alternate calculation type?
A) ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE : This function allows you use a formula as an alternative in
finding the value of the condition type, instead of standard condition technique. this can be used to
calculate complex tax structures.

not met then some other solution how to map in SAP R/3 i.e AS IS TO BE study so the out put will be under
standing the requirements and providing the solution in sap with flow charts and get the acceptance from the
business team before configure the system i.e realization stage

40. Who are called Super users when it comes to training in SAP ?
A) There are Consultants, Power users, End users in a SAP R/3 system.
The users are differentiated by the level of authorization
End users-- Normaly are given authorisation to only specific transactions ( T.codes)-- like creation of Sale order,
Delivery, transfer order etc etc.. For eg a person in the ware house would only be given authorization to create,
Transfer orders and not to create Sale orders. Similarly a sales person will have the authorization to create SOs
and not TOs.
Power Users-- People who have additional authorizations to change or add data to make the system adapt to
day to day business requirements are power users. Master record creation, Condition record creation. These
people sometimes are also allowed to view the customization screens and normally not allowed to make any
changes in the customization.
Consultants-- These people (We) mainly work in customization. their authorization level depends on the Server
they work on. For eg: In development server to all screens In testing server except few critical customization
screen to all screens
In production server To get any screen in production to end user, here user role can be changed by the help
of basis to work in production server in case of emergency like they would like to find the root cause of the error
which happens only in production server and not in any other server.
41. How to handle returnable packing material? what is the process involved in it?:

the discount based on the hierarchy. for rebate processing the customer hierarchies are used to give the exact
discount.
46. What do you mean by POD(proof of delivery) what is the use of pod? What are the con figuration you
done in your project?
A) Proof of delivery is the confirmation, sent by the customer upon goods receipt. Company will raise the billing
document based on that confirmation. They normally use an intermediate document with application link
enabling. On the whole, It is done by an abapers.

48. Can we have different pricing procedure for sales order and invoice?
A) 1. yes , you can do it by assigning different doc pricing procedure for sales doc. eg. you can assign
different Doc pricing procedure for OR, F2, accordingly different pricing procedure will be determined for
both document. ( you will have to assign this DocPP in pricing procedure determination)
A) 2. Yes it is possible to have a PricProc in Billing different from that of SO. Since the PricProc

determination takes place at invoice level also. Generally, the Sales area & CPP (Cust pricing Proc) indicator
won't change, however the DPP (Document Pricing Procedure) can be different for the billing type than that
of sales order type. enhance a different Pricing proc can be determined. However, in practice, people may not
be doing this.
49. Different between inquiry and quotation?
A) 1, Inquiry is just a simple document showing some interest shown by the prospective customer on
products and services offered by the company. Date and Price nothing is relevant here.
BUT quotation is a legal agreement which is given/offered to the Customer. The company will agree to the
customer, that company will charge a particular amount to a particular quantity of a particular product and
this agreement is time limited and not valid after that time duration.
A) 2. Quotation is legally binding offer from sales organization to a customer for providing goods and services
under certain fixed conditions Quotation id valid for limited period only
50. What is the use of column CONDITION TYPE in Pricing procedure determination. Like sales area +
customer. pp+ Doc. pp+ Pricing procedure+ CONDITION TYPE, without maintain condition type system
get pricing procedure in sales order then what is the use of this column ?
A) To be more clear, the condition type entered along with the pricing procedure determination would become a
column in the line item of the sale order. so instead of going into the item data conditions screen and entering the
value , you can straight away enter it in the line item

51. What is the functionality of Status Profile?

A) 1. Profile is used to control user statuses. A status profile is created by the user in general status
management. In a status profile you can
1.define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated
2.define initial statuses
3.allow or prohibit certain business transactions

A) 2. one example : As per business requirement any approvals required for a sales order before creating a
delivery then we will define the settings in the back ground(SPRO) i.e first Define status profile and assign this to
sales document.(or) next define authorization keys i.e how many approvals and whose approval is required like
branch manger then make the settings like where to stop like before delivery r billing etc in SPRO and assign
this to roles and authorizations these things you can observe in sales order header status

52. What is Material type control?

A) Material Type is control the status/characteristics of the material master record
Examples: VERP - Packing Materials
DIEN Services
HAWA - Trading Goods

A) 2. In addition to answer 1 above, inbound deliveries relate to goods received from vendors. Outbound
deliveries relate to Goods issued to Customers.
57. WHAT IS THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN CUSTOMIZATION AND CONFIGURATION WITH EXAMPLE?
A) 1. In customization you customize with the existing set up. For eg: extend the existing sales office to other
Sales origination as well In configuration you create a unit itself. For eg: Create a new sales origination.
In short customization is part of configuration. I am assuming the answer by the process we follow,
we create a configuration document only if in case there was a new additional unit created. In case if there is only
assignment or changes with the existing data we create only Scoping document and not
Configuration document
A) 2. Configuration is done based on the NEEDS of business requirements .For Ex: Adding fields in dropdown
list . Customization is where we ADAPT the based on business requirements. Customization once done is
difficult to modify.
A) 3. configuration is arranging or mapping business scenario's provided by the sap standard systematic
approach .where as customization arises when there is gap in between the sap standard and business
requirement, at that time we need to custom the sap as per requirement .For this sap has provided us user exits,
routines, and abap programmer editors etc., are give to use for customization
A) 4. CONFIGURATION: we will configure the system to meet the needs of your business by using the existing
data.
CUSTOMIZING: we will customize or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of
mapping SAP to your business process.
Configuration vs. Customization:
When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between
configuration and customization. The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent
flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names, modify drop-down lists, or add buttons.
Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization on the other hand, involves code

15

changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can
complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to
the new version. Wherever possible, companies should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their
goals. Companies also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since
words like "modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.

57. What is the Relation between PGI and TOR?

A) Depending up on tor pgi takes place let me explain how it takes place when a requirement comes this is
been transferred to MRP through TOR. Depending up on the availability of the material transfer of order takes
place in which the requirement sits in the storage location from there picking and packing process takes place
and finally PGI activity takes place.
IN GENERAL TERMENOLOGY TOR IS THE ACTIVITY WHICH TAKES PLACE BEFORE CREATING A
DELIVERY DOCUMENT AND PGI PROCESS TAKES PLACE AFTER CREATING A DELIVERY DOCUMENT.

58. Tell me some of the views of material master record?

A) Material master have many views but for sd point of view we will use Basic Data 1, basic Data 2, sales org1,
sales org2, sales general,MRP1,MRP2,MRP3, plant data, Costing and accounting.

59. What is consumption based planning?

A) Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption-values, statistical procedures for future
requirements. Its to avoid the shortfall in requirement determined from reorder point or forecast requirement.
Difference between MRP and Consumption-based planning, MRP Planning based on gross requirement through
the Bill of Materials, Consumption-based planning based on past consumption-values.
A) 2. Consumption based planning is based on Companies past Consumption data Reports .i.e. What
Company has manufactured from past 2 years or from past 3 months. On the basis of certain conditions
of Past consumption data needs to be maintained in system and accordingly to that, The company wil plan
production/manufacture for the future requirements.
60. What happens if inspection lot is rejected?
A) Normally Inspection lot is carried out before PGI. If the material is rejected during inspection then PGI is not
done and hence you cannot deliver the faulty goods to the customer.
61. Can you use customizing to control which business transactions should be blocked if the credit limit
is exceeded? Which are they?
A) Business Transaction can be blocked at 3 levels depending Upon the "Risk Category "of that particular
customer. basing on the Risk Category the transaction can be blocked at
1. sales order level
2. Delivery Level
3. Post goods issue.
if the risk category is high the transaction can be blocked at 'Sales Order".
if the risk category is medium can block "Delivery"
if the risk is low can block "Post Goods Issue"
62. can i know what type of reports so be generated by abap consultant for sd guys can i get some
scenarios and which tables are regularly used by SD consultants for making reports ?

16

64. Explain about how the ticket process goes?

A)

Ticket process wil happens two ways.

1. VOIP: Voice on Internet Protocol. here client will cal directly to the consultant and he will
rectify the ticket.
2. Tool(REMEDY/RADIX). this tool is nothing but s/w. here client will send the ticket directly to company mail
box. Company helpdesk will forward the ticket to concern module lead. Module lead will forward the ticket to
team lead. team lead will decide to assign the ticket to consultant based on priority level. once the ticket comes
to consultant.
step1: consultant will access the tool using his user id and password.
step2: click on SUPPORT CONSOLE LINK. Then you wil see two hyper links
1.Ticket assigned to you
2.Ticket comes to helpdesk
click on ticket assigned to you it displays ticket create date, request id, summary, requestor, status, priority,
assigned to select the ticket and click on view button. it displays another screen in that request info, case
update, SLA, attachment and so on. Based on that you need to identify the solution . Once you find the solution
,you need to attach the file and click on ASSIGN ticket. finally click on CLOSE button. mail directly goes to
client. Ticket status wil closed.

65. Explain about minimum value surcharge calculated?

A) Minimum Value Surcharge (condition type AMIZ) comes into picture when you have to maintain Minimum
Order Value (condition type AMIW). I'll try explaining this with an example.
Lets assume that you have maintained a Minimum Order Value of 100 Rs in the condition record
(i.e. AMIW=100Rs). Now, you receive the PO with order value 60 Rs(Net Value of the order is 60 Rs), then the
system will automatically copy the minimum order value (i.e. 100 Rs) as the net value of the Order. The
difference amount is 40 Rs and this is known as Minimum Value Surcharge (i.e. AMIZ= 40Rs). This is a statistical
Condition and used for internal purpose only.
66. Quotation has been created for product-D, 10 quantities, sales order is created with reference to the
quotation, system copies 10 quantities in sales order. How do you restrict in sales order end user should
not change quantities, system should not allow for changes by en user?
A) While maintaining copy control we have a field COPING QUANTITY in ITEM LEVEL. There we can maintain
whether system should copy or not and the control of quantity. About change this is not a business practice that
end user will change it if the requirement is of 10 pc...No control in SAP....It need authorization from SAP
67. What is difference between the item proposal and dynamic proposal?
A) Item proposal in which we will manual select the items from the list of items proposed for that particular
customer using the transaction code, Where as dynamic proposal is as for my understanding it should be pre
configured for a particular customer such that when ever the sale order is raised items are automatically
determined in that order.
68. Can we rename movement types?
A) No we cannot rename the Movement types, but we can copy from the existing movement type to user
defined movement type. Example: Select Movement type= ROH and Click on COPY AS "ZROH" , we should get
the authorization from client and SAP Business leads....
69. what does an item category controls ?
A) An item category controls the overall behaviour of an item. it determines whether the item is relevant for
pricing or not, whether it is relevant for delivery or not, whether it is relevant for billing or not. it also determines
whether it is a free item, text item and it also help to determine the sales document type.
70. What is the difference between General Item Category Group and Item Category Group?
A) General Item category Group is an extension item category group. Example: if one select item category
group as NORM, but under item category group, NORM can further be classified as Service item, packaging
item or Normal item using "general item category group". General item category

17

group is maintained at client level, this field can be maintain from Basic Data View of Material Master. Thus in
case item category group is missing, then general item category group is used for item category determination.
Item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. When processing sales and
distribution documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category and proposes it
in the respective document. Item category group is defined in the Sales Org View 2 of Material Master Record.
71. What are the training documents? while giving training session for end users?
A) End user training -1.Step by step Transaction user manuals
2-power point presentation
3- text script.
72. You have worked in Third Party Sales & Inter company billing? how did you configuration? dont
explain steps, i need your real time experience, what are the things you have configuration, how its
work?
A. As per my view Third party order sales customer receives the stock from third party and gives us the
Vendor invoice and invoice correction and then the F2 invoice is carryout to customer. &individual purchase
order goods comes to our premises and we make the delivery and F2 carries out.
where in inter company sales is between company code to company code in where the supplying company code
plant is assign to selling company code sales area and inter-company billing carries out. the selling company
code carries out f2 to customer.
73. What is the landscape of the project?
A) We are having three type of server
1. Development server- sand box server- rough work
Golden server- configuration
2. Quality server or testing serverunit testing
integration testing
User eceptance testing
3. Production server- Live production
74. What are the challenging issues you have faced in implementation project/Maintainance project in SD
Functionality? How you have overcome that issue?
A) We can say during the implementation the challenges which we faced are
* high expectations from the system
* lack IT awareness among employees
* End user training
* lot of complex business processes which lead to highly customized product etc..
75. What is IDOCS and status?
A) 1. IDOC is an intermediate Document, it is simply a data container used to exchange information between
any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data. it's stored in table EDIDC.
Status is nothing but it will show workflow of inbound and out bound status And it is stored in table EDIDS.
A) 2. IDOC is a intermediate document to exchange data. Two types of Technologies used for IDOC. ALE & EDI
are those tech. ALE used for SAP to SAP & EDI for SAP to non SAP. IDOCs are two type INBOUND
(2) & OUT BOUND (1) Take a simple example: Idoc is a data container
Segment
Data
Port
RFC Connectivity

-- BUS
-- SEATS
-- Passenger
-- BUS DEPO
-- National High way

18

IDoc has three Layer:

1st - Control record, which gives the information about the receiver as well as sender information.
2nd - Data records, which holds the Segment as well as data
3rd - Status record. which is generated by system automatically on reaching every landmark on its journey.
Status Record For outbound Idoc( 1 to 49)
status record for in bound Idoc is ( 50 to 75)
76. What is mean of Rebate processing?
A) Rebate is nothing but a special discount which is given on to specific customer on certain sales volume with
in specific period of time. Rebate may given on a specific customer, if he do the targeted business within the
validity periods, or its for specific material and customer, if this customer do the targeted business volume for
that particular material within the validity periods. This rebate processing is mostly used in special occasions like
ramzan , deewali, christmas to improve the company's sales volume in that period.

77. What is condition supplement and why is it used?

A) A condition supplement is a group of conditions that should be applied every time a certain condition is
found. for Eg: If u define a material price, u 'll enter condition records for that material and the corresponding
price. If u also want to give discount to that material every time the price is determined, u can enter the discount
condition type as a condition supplement. So whenever the price is determined for the material, it 'll automatically
includes the discount condition records.

78. What is batch split?

A) if a material is managed in batches then you can carry out a batch split for every component. this means that
if you split a batch ,you assign more than one batch to one component. In this case, each batch is displayed as a
separate component in the component overview. Batch splits can only be triggered manually in the production
order.
The following requirements must be met for batch splitting:
(1)The material master record of the material must specify that the material is managed in batches.
(2)Batches must exist for the material.
79. What exactly mean by Condition Index and why we have this is field in the definition of Condition
Type?
A) Condition index can be created for particular condition type to maintain condition records.

80. what is functional specs?

A) 1 Functional spec refers to the actual requirement from the customer. This gives the actual scope.
A) 2. Functional specification is a comprehensive document which describes the desired functionality. It contains
technical information and data. It describes the scope, current functionality and desired functionality of a
function/transaction.

81. Explain the difference between contracts and scheduling agreements?

A) Scheduling Agreement is the agreement between consumer and company having fixed delivery dates and
fixed quantity. Contract is the agreement between company and consumer for certain period of time.

82. In R/3, is it possible to substitute one product for another? If so, how it can be achieved?
A) This can be done thru procedure called Material determination. Here u will have to proceed the way create a
condition access sequences etc and create a condition record. where u mention the main item and the to be
substituted product. You can also specify the validity of this procedure. do not forget to assign the procedure to
the document type.

83. In which scenario order and billing has different pricing procedure?
A) in inter company billing
RVA001 in order
ICAA01 in billing

19

84. In va01, at item level of conditions, update filed is there what is its functionality?
A) This is to update the pricing(even after automatic pricing is done by the system. You will get various update
options if you click on that button, Taken from the standard settings:
* A: Copy pricing elements and update according to scale
* B: Carry out new pricing
* C: Copy manual pricing elements and Re-Determine the others
* D: Copy pricing elements unchanged
* E: Copy pricing elements and values unchanged
* F: Only used within the program
* G: Copy pricing elements unchanged and Re-Determine taxes
* H: Copy pricing elements and Re-Determine freight

85.How is credit control determined?

A) You can assign a credit limit to a group of customers, as well as to an individual customer. If a company has
different branches, you would define the credit limit for just one customer in this group (the head office) and this
customer account then becomes the credit account.
Credit limits are normally specified by credit management staff in the individual customer master records. You
can specify individual credit limits for each credit control area. You can expand your credit control for a customer
by specifying a central credit limit for all credit control areas to which that customer is assigned. The total of the
limits at the level of the credit control area must not exceed the total limit for all credit control areas. The credit
limits at the control area level are checked during sales order processing.
A) 2 - COMPANY CODE + CUSTOMER RISK CATEGORY + CREDIT GROUP = CREDIT CONTROL AREA
Important criteria that should be kept in mind is that one company code can be assigned to many credit control
are as And multiple company codes are not assigned to one Credit Control Area
86. Order was created 6 month back for the material M-12, at a price Rs.400/- and now price is increased
by Rs.80/-, we want to bill the customer now for the new price. What changes or customizing should be
done?
A) Create new condition record with ref. to the existing one by changing the price.
Create billing document first, select the line item and go to conditions tab page in item data, click on "UPDATE"
(update prices) tab (right side below) and choose "B" (carryout new pricing). You can see the new price against
the line item. But if you have entered any manual conditions in sales order, they get lost here.

87. When will you combine deliveries into one invoice?

A) 1 Yes, we will combine multiple deliveries into one invoice, when the bill to party , payment terms and billing
date is same.
A) 2 That means billing is done only once in a month for that particular customer, then you combine all
deliveries of that month create invoice

88. What are the Effects of PGI (Post Goods Issue)?

A) 1. Quantity in the inventory management and the delivery requirements in the material planning are updated.
2. Values of the stocks in the corresponding balance sheet accounts are updated.
3. All the relevant accounting documents are generated.
4. Billing due list is updated
5. Status in all the sales document are updated

89.What is Replenishment lead time?

A) This is the time that the material is ready to available.
RLT = GR time + delivery days
A) It is the time taken to produce or bring material from out side. It is based on planned delivery time and in
house production time

20

A) Time taken to produce the goods in plant, or time taken to procure the products externally from the vendor.
these settings are in MRP views of Material master data.

90. Give me some examples for gap analysis?

A) GAP analysis is done in Blue Print stage. It aims to understand what can be done with the standard SAP and
how the client actually wants a particular scenario to be processed. And to understand the GAP between the
actual and required scenarios.
For Eg: In standard SAP there will be no Availability check done at Quotation Level. But client requests that
Availability check be done at Quotation level also so that that will give him an idea roughly when the delivery
could me made (remember that does not transfer requirements). Accordingly his customer can proceed with
placing an order or not as per his requirement.

91. What is CTS and where it can be used?

A) CTS means CHANGE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM which is used to transport objects from one system
server(DEV) to another system server(QAS).
A) Its CHANGE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM which can also be used for electronic transfer of data fro one
system to another. This is used in the process of system landscape.

92. What are MRP types?

A) MRP is Material Requirement Planning which is based on Transfer of Requirements while processing the
Sale Order. MRP types based on Consumption based MRP etc.,
A) MRP type is concept of planning for the demand, whether we need the material
- To be planned internally
- To be procured externally
- To be planned in externally system (Ex: APO Advance Planner & Optimizer )
- No planning
- Time based planning

93. What is LIS?

A) LIS stands for Logistics Information System. In SAP, the logistics information system is a combination of
the following systems.
- Sales Information System
- Purchasing Information System
- Inventory Controlling Shop Floor Information System
- Plant Maintenance Information System
- Quality Management Information System
Logistics Information System can be used to effectively plan the entire logistics cycle in SAP. A user can control
and monitor business events in the logistics cycle to make effective decisions. Data coming in from various Sub
Modules in SAP can be clubbed and analyzed using the logistics information system. LIS thus acts as a flexible
tool to aggregate and call out important data. Key figures can be defined in LIS to keep track of important
logistics parameters. Users can analyze data in various ways. LIS even allows users to
Customize the reports as per individual reporting requirements making it a flexible reporting and analytical tool.

94. What is the use of material type in regards with SAP SD?
A) Material type controls the material master record same as the account group controls the customer master
record. It will control which field are relevant for the Material Master Record

95. What is the client specific data? Give two examples of client specific data?
A) Client specific data refer to the data that can be accesses only when we log in to that Client
Client Specific Data :
A) Business data--Master data of business partners, products, pricing etc
b) Transaction data) Sales orders, delivery, billing documents etc
c) Customization data) All the IMG activities that are saved with Customizing request number form the client
Specific data

3) Maintain SKTO, SKTV condition types in V/06 (these are not having access sequence and maintain
Condition category E in the condition type)
4) Placed in the pricing procedure (check static, requirements 2, Alternative condition base value 9).
5) Then price the sale order see the conditions tab page in Item data you will get cash discount.

A) Acct keys are defined in FI only, SD people only use them, say in pricing. But ultimately they are used for
posting the amounts to relevant GL accounts only
102. What is the difference between Alternative calculation type & Alternative condition base value?
A) Alternative condition type means, if the result of the condition value depends upon a formula (excluding
addition) we have to mention a routine number for the alternative calculation type. Ex: profit = price - cost
Alternative condition base value means, if the result of the condition value is same everywhere it is triggered,

sales org., division, dist channel., and document types. The T.Code are OVAO,OVAM,OVAN.

109. How the customer required delivery date determined? or delivery date are determined?
A) Delivery Date is determined by Backward Scheduling. If the date determined so, cannot accommodate the
lead time, transport arrangement time, etc. Forward scheduling takes place and new delivery date is determined
A) Delivery date: The date on which customer receives goods.
Requested delivery date: - The date on which customer wishes to have his goods.
Confirmed delivery date:- The date on which the arrival of goods can be confirmed.

Now, For Backward scheduling the customer requested delivery date is used to calculate the material availability
date and transportation lead time. The delivery must be created on the earlier of the two dates.
If both dates are after the order date and material is available on the Material Availability date, the Customer
Requested Delivery date can be confirmed. If both dates are before the order date, confirmation of the requested
delivery date can not take place. Therefore, the system attempts to determine the next earliest possible delivery
date through forward scheduling.

109. What is Backorder processing?

A) Whenever we create a sales order for a particular material. It will give 2 delivery dates if is doesnt have the
stock. If we get the material before the first delivery date, we will do revert back the order ( CO06) and allot the
ordered material at same requested delivery date. Now this order has one schedule line only.

A) 1. Retro active billing belongs to rebate process. It takes in to account the billing documents that were
created previously ( i.e. before the rebate agreement done) & also billing documents which were created during
the rebate period. In those documents which were created earlier, the accruals & basic rates were not
automatically updated, it has to be done manually in the documents which were created during rebate period,
the accruals & rebate basis were automatically updated.
A) 2. Retroactive billing is purely different from Rebate Process. But rebate process comes under the retro
billing. Because rebate process acts retroactively
Retro Billing means: For example we are selling some goods to a customer for the past 6 months and there
were around 50 invoices are generated. But after 6 months we had an agreement that we will give discount on
all the old invoices which were generated in the last 6 months or there is a decrease in price which should affect
the old invoices, which were generated from last 6 months. For this kind of scenario we will use the Retro Billing.
We have to use the T.Code VFRB to generate the retro Billing.
124. What are types of MRP?

categories such as Sold-to-party, Ship-to-party, Payers and Bill-to-party. There are many other business
partners associated like sales representative, contact persons etc. This configuration will enable you to
create master data of partners properly.
3. When you have the frame work and partners you would like to do business with them. Business in SAP
SD is done using the document types. So this will be the third thing to configure.
4. You need the next thing to report all the business transactions and hence you need to configure reporting
needs by using information systems. Normally this will be an optional configuration because of the
limitations of the reporting mechanism in SD information system.

type to different G/L accounts Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same
G/L account
A) 2. Valuation class is group of material with the same account determination. The link between the valuation
class and material group will establish through the account category reference. We will assign valuation class to
account category reference and in turn account category
reference is assigned to material group.
At the time creation of material by using the material group, all the valuation classes are defaulted
based on the account category reference. Since account category reference is assign to material
group. Finally in OBYC T.Code we will give account determination for auto posting to GL Accounts to
this valuation class.

28

152. What do you mean by drop shipment?

A) Drop shipment: Sales order processing will remain the same till the global availability of stock.
If the customer accepts partial / multiple deliveries or all products are available in one plant, then the CSR
will change the delivering plant (belonging to different legal entity) in the sales order for each line item.
System will create the delivery on the delivering plant (plant of another legal entity).
Shipping process like picking, PDI, packing and Post Goods Issue from the delivering plant will take place.
Goods will be dispatched to the customer directly from this delivering plant.
After dispatch, selling sales organization (from the sales order) will create the invoice to the customer.

Step-1: Fields/Tables maintenance
Step-2: Access sequence - tables inserted
Step03: Condition type / access sequence
Step-4 : Material deter procedure / assign to sales document type
Step-5 : Define substitution reasons --> we can define whether the substitute material can be displayed as a
Selection and we can define whether the material can be replaced or can be added as a line item.
Step-6 : Condition records --> specific to sales area/material. Enter substitute material and the substitute
reason.

A) Document flow represents the flow of SALES documents from the first document till the last accounting
documents. For eg., my document flow can be Inquiry
Quotation
Sales Order
Delivery
Transfer Order
Post Goods Issue
Billing
Accounting
This is the normal Document flow. I can have sales orders without Inquiry or Quotation. In that case my
Document flow will begin with Sales Order.
162. Order was created 6 month back for the material M-12 , at a price Rs.400/- and now price is
increased by Rs.80/-,we want to bill the customer now for the new price. What changes or customizing
should be done?

stock in the Storage Storage/Bin In SD, PGI uses movement type 601 and while PGR uses 561 (w/o ref to
PO/Delivery)
165. How is Access Sequence is Controlled?
A) Basically Access Sequence is a Search Strategy which governs the condition type which give the required
result. So to Access sequence is controlled by set of Access Number which are assigned to condition tables in
which specific condition data is stored. ex. : table 6 has Price List Type/Currency/Material record. so whenever
the specific requirement comes this access sequence can be attached to our condition type an it can act as a
path setter to fulfill the requirement.

166. what is integration of Billing in SD Process ?

A) The billing document represents the final function in the SD process chain. Billing is an important part of the
financials interface. This allows documents to be created automatically in Financials Accounting and Controlling
when you create billing documents. A billing document has structure similar to that of a sales document, with
header and item. the billing type controls the billing document.
The following is a list of billing types in SAP Systems:

A) In SAP world, very frequently you might be coming across the Word Company and Company Code.
Sometimes it is understood that these two words are interchangeable and have the same meaning. But in fact,
these are not interchangeable and are two different words with different meaning. Hence one should not derive
the same meaning from the two. In SAP, to understand the definition and assignment of enterprise structure and
terminology used for different organizational level, it is necessary to understand the following definition of these
two words.

Company:
As defined by the law of a particular country, company means an organizational unit in Accounting which
represents a business organization according to the requirements of commercial law of that particular country. In
SAP Basic data such as company ID, name & address, language & currency are stored under the definition of
company. The following are attributes of a company.
A company can comprise one or more company codes.
A company can comprise one or more clients.
A company has one local currency. Group Accounting is possible at Company Level
Consolidation is based on Companies

Company Code:
In SAP, the company code is an organizational unit used in accounting. It is used to structure the business
organization from a financial accounting perspective. It should be created according to tax law, commercial law,
and other financial accounting criteria. As a rule, a company code in the SAP system represents a legally
independent company. The company code can also represent a legally dependent operating unit based abroad if
there are external reporting requirements for this operating unit, which can also be in the relevant local currency.
Appended below is some of the important information which needs to be maintained for each company code:
Company code key, Company code name. Address data. Country currency or Company Code Currency
Country key, Language key, Assignment to other organizational units.
167. What is the purpose of doing that?
A) Enterprise organization diagram. Chart showing the organizational structure of an enterprise, its organization
units and how they are related. A combined structure can be created from the point of view of accounting, MM,
SD. This structure forms a framework in which all business transactions can be processed.
168. Which three organizational elements make up a sales area and briefly explain their function?
A) Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products, negotiates terms of sale,

31

and is responsible for these transactions.

Distribution channel: Channel through which salable materials or services reach customers. Typical
distribution channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales. You can assign a distribution channel to
one or more sales organizations.
Division: Product groups can be defined for a wide-ranging spectrum of products. For every division
you can make customer-specific agreements on, for example, partial deliveries, pricing and terms of
payment. Within a division you can carry out statistical analyses or set up separate marketing.
Name the three internal organizational elements within a sales organization and briefly explain their
function.
Sales Office: Geographical aspects of the organization in business development and sales are defined using the
term sales office. A sales office can be considered as a subsidiary. Sales offices are assigned to sales areas. If
you enter a sales order for a sales office within a certain sales area, the sales office must be assigned to that
area.
Sales Group: The staff of a sales office may be subdivided into sales groups. For example, sales groups can be
defined for individual divisions.
Sales persons: Individual personnel master records are used to manage data about salespersons. You can
assign a sales person to a sales group in the personnel master record.
169. What does the term "business area" refer to and how can it be used?
A) Business Area) The system posts costs and revenue according to the business area. The business area
can be equivalent to the:
- sales area (if the accounts are to be posted according to sales)
- plant/division (if the accounts are to be posted according to products)
The business area is defined in Customizing for Sales.
o Business area. A unit in an enterprise, grouping product and market combinations as homogeneously as
possible for the purpose of developing unified business policy.
o Financial Accounting (FI). A business area is an organizational unit within financial accounting which
represents a separate area of operations or responsibilities within an organization. Financial accounting
transactions can be allocated to a specific business area.
170. Briefly explain the relationship between sales organizations and company codes. ?
A) Many to One.
171. What is the central organizational element in purchasing?
A) Purchasing Organization.
172. Explain the relationship between sales organizations and plants?
A) Many to Many.
173. Explain the relationship between sales organizations, plants and company codes?
A) Many to Many to One.
174. Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? Which (sub) module of SAP could
make business areas obsolete?
A) Yes in CO(controlling).
175. What is a credit control area? What relationship exists between credit control areas and company
codes?
A) Credit control area. Organizational unit in an organization that specifies and checks credit limits for
customers. A credit control area can include one or more company codes. It is not possible to assign a company
code to more than one credit control areas.

32

176. Which organizational element is central in shipping? Give a definition of it ?

A) Shipping Point: Organizational unit at a fixed location that carries out shipping activities. A shipping point
could, for example, be a company's mail department or a plant's rail depot. Each delivery is processed by only
one shipping point.
177. Give a definition of plant (in SAP)?
A) Organizational unit within Logistics, serving to subdivide an enterprise according to production, procurement,
maintenance, and materials planning aspects.
A plant is a place where either materials are produced or goods and services provided.
Classification: Business object
Structure: A plant can assume a variety of roles:
As a maintenance plant, it includes the maintenance objects that are spatially located within this plant. The
maintenance tasks that are to be performed are specified within a maintenance planning plant.
As a retail or wholesale site, it makes merchandise available for distribution and sale.
As a rule, the plant is the organizational unit for material valuation.
The preferred shipping point for a plant is defined as the default shipping point, which depends on the shipping
condition and the loading condition.
For the placement of materials in storage (stock put-away), a storage location is assigned to a plant. The storage
location depends on the storage condition and the stock placement situation.
The business area that is responsible for a valuation area is determined as a function of the division. As a rule, a
valuation area corresponds to a plant.
178. Can you assign two different sales organization to the same company code?
A) Yes.
179. To what do you assign distribution channels and divisions?
A) Sales Organizations.
180. What are the highest organizational units in SD, MM. PP, FI-CO?
A)
SD: Sales Organizations.
MM: Plant
PP: Plant
FI: Company Code
CO: Controlling Area
181. Can you further subdivide a plant? If yes into what?
A) A plant can be subdivided into storage locations, allowing stocks of materials to be broken down according to
predefined criteria (e.g., location and materials planning aspects).
A plant can be subdivided into locations and operational areas. Subdivision into locations takes geographical
criteria into account, whereas subdivision into operational areas reflects responsibilities for production.
182. Can a sales organization sell from a plant belonging to a different company code?
A) Yes.
183. How many shipping points can you assign to a plant?
A) Many.
184. How many shipping points can you assign to a sales organization?
A) None.
185. If you have a warehouse management system active, to what would you assign the warehouse
number?
A) Plant & Storage Location.

33

186. What is the Function of item category and item category group?
A) Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way
it also effects the processing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher
Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
187. Which agreement type I should consider, is this customer rebate(0003), material rebate(0002) or
Rebate on the basis of sales volume(0005), because here client is not offering rebate on Sales volume in
rupees or dollar. He is only concerned with total sales in kiloliters(Quantity). As per rebate agreement
concern rebate is offered in percentage. Please guide me for my scenario.?
A) If your distributors are fewer (far less than 900 materials) then you should go for only customer rebate.
188. Guide me for conditions types and scale basis for maintaining condition records?
A) When creating customer rebates (T:VB01) select customer rebate, there you will see a header tab:
Conditions , click it add how many customers you want. For each customer you can create scale based
conditions (under the heading tab :Scales).
189. How can we know whether the customer is one-time or regular?
A) One can maintain Account Group for One-time customers. By which we can identify one-time customers.
190. What happens when you do not enter a value for a manual and mandatory condition type?
A) The pricing procedure will reject the conditions in the sales order
191. Do header condition type have an access sequence?
A) No
192. Relation between Company - Sales org ?
A) One-to-Many
Sales Org - Plants & company vs. Plants
Company - sales org - credit control area
193. What are sales area and its components?
A) Sales area consists of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel and Division.
194. What are legacy systems?
A) The Existing system on which current system is working, from which the current system will be migrated
to SAP system
195. What is cut over strategy?
A) Cutover strategy depends upon how the organizations design their data load strategies. Normally, you
decide the sequence of Data loads for Configuration settings, Master data, Transaction data which follows whom
and then you make a copy of the system as a Production system a day before and after checking the successful
data loads, you go-live 100% or partial again depending upon organizational setup and policies.
Cutover planning is highly site specific. There's no thumb rule.
The stock data as on the date of going live should be correctly entered. But stock being a highly dynamic
quantity, the strategy for loading should be crystal clear. Then you have to load all the back dated transaction on
the stock. Some stock comes into your plant/storage location as return and some stock is actually delivered to
your customer through sales orders of various kinds.
196. What are Cumulative Condition Records?
A) There is a field:- "condition update" during configuration for a condition type (at v/06)... has it anything to do
with cumulative condition Records?
197. IF you have 3 different access sequences for one condition record then in a pricing procedure in
what hierarchy will you maintain the three accesses?

34

A) In Condition Records (T Code VK11), you would be putting values to corresponding Condition Types. Now
one Condition Type can be assigned to one access sequence. In Access Sequence, you can assign whichever
tables and fields are required. So in my opinion, you cannot have one condition record for 3 access sequences.
198. What happens in the access sequence when you put all the ticks in the exclusive field?
A) When you put tick in exclusive field of all access sequences, in my opinion, it will try to get available data
from the first. Only in case, data is not available, will it move on to the next one.
199. What is meant by delivery group?
A) Delivery Group is basically grouping all individual deliveries for Billing. It should have the same Ship to Party,
Shipping Point, etc.
200. What triggers the automatic creation of PR or PO in case of third party sales?
In item category we can set "automatic PO" so that PO and PR will automatically generate after saving the order.
You never change the item category configuration to "automatic PO". It is the schedule line category type which
triggers the automatic PR creation.
201. What are the steps that are required to include sales person as a partner function in the partner
determination?
A) Partner function sales representative or person responsible these two we can add through partner function in
partner procedure.
202. What is Z transaction?
A) We copied standard TC or object and rename it by Z its basically standard name which will start from Z
(User defined)
203. Can you create sales order for 40 items if the quotation is sent for 30 items?
A) Yes.
204. What is the importance of requirement field in access sequence?
A) System will not go to access condition type system will reply through formula.
205. What makes the immediate delivery in cash sales?
A) Order type immediate delivery switch on.
206. What is change request and task? What was your task no.? I need an example or a task no. that is
being used in your project to clear few things in my mind?
A) The Change Request is that request when you do some thing new in customizing or configuration in the
system. The system will automatically pop with the change request pop box , when you can give request name
as defined by the system or can give your own request name with heading of what changes you have made
while customization. The system will generate a request number and you save it.
(e.g.:- VEDK-2785467) VEDK- means the Clients System name then followed by the system generated request
number.
Now when you want to release the request you have to use the T-code SE10 where you can see the requests
under the heading modifiable or released. Go to the modifiable option. Each request will have again an internal
request number. First you have to release the internal request and then release the external request number.
This will in turn released by the basis guys thru the T-code SM64 in a group when all the requests are pooled
from different users.
The task which you have mentioned in your question is nothing but the what task you have performed while
customizing the client system and the heading name which have given it for that task and generated a request
for that task.
207. What is your client Number in the project? Like how we have 800 for IDES?
A) Generally like IDES client, when you are in the project, the client is also given a number called client number.
So while implementing a project The entire implementation is done under phases and in different Client no
Servers. E.g.:- take a company called ABC which is implementing SAP.
So the Client is given a number in the following manner by the SAP Implementers at the site

35

291- Sand Box server (Initial Testing scenarios Server)

292- Development Sever (With client data of minimum 15 days transactions)
294- Testing Server (the scenarios developed in development server is tested here)
295- Golden Master Server (Quality cum Testing Server)checked finally before transferring to Prod server
296- Production Server (where the clients live data is stored and daily business transactions are done)
A) 2 Few client requirements for customer master, material master, Organization and Transactions.
The client requirements may be in the form of customized reports and queries which are supposed to be suited
according to their business process. Generally the requirements would be coming from the BPO's (Business
Process Owners) who will deputed for each module e.g.:- SD, PP QM FI) by the client as they would be expert in
their areas and module who under the business processes as they clients Project Team members. They are
whole and sole responsible to get the implementation done and meet the requirements raised by them and the
other users from the clients side.
Generally before starting the implementation the entire organization structure and the organizational
elements are freezed and a skeleton structure is prepared and then along with BPO's requirements the system is
1st configured and then the customization is started to suit the Clients specified requirements.
Now as far as the transactions are concerned not all the users are allowed to run all the transactions. Here the
user roles are defined as per the BPO's (i.e., the user is given authorization only to run certain transactions
depending on the levels and stages in his area of specialization like in SD module the entry level user is only
allowed to enter the data like creation of Sales orders or delivery and billing and the next level is give the
authorization for changes to be made for that same data that is entered by the entry level users. The next higher
level -Supervisor is given a few more transaction authorization which will be above these mentioned users)
Here the reports are segregated like Higher Management Reports, Middle Management Reports where
by again authorization is given those heads(Head of the Depts. or the Plants heads or GM etc.,) to run certain
transactions which allow to view reports that are needed daily by the management.
208. How to restrict users for not changing some fields in T-code VA02?
A) There are two ways to do this:
- Make a transaction variant thru SHD0 and assign it to your sales doc. While creating the variant you can
place non-changeability ticks on specific fields. Next allow those users only to work with your transaction variant
but not with the original transaction.
- You could make use of user-exit FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION in include MV45AFZZ (via
authorization objects, which you can assign in role customizing).
The latter is more flexible but it is not feasible if you want to place restrictions to a large amount of fields.
209. How can we delete the Sales Orders & How can an invoices be cancelled or deleted?
A) You can very well delete sales order using transaction VA02, but with a constraint that no subsequent
document is created against it.
A) Invoice can be cancelled using T.Code VF11 and then you can reverse the Goods Issue using VL09 and
making the picking quantity zero in the delivery document and delete the delivery order using VL02N . You can
then delete the sales order then.
A) 2 You cannot delete an Invoice. You can only cancel it with (VF11) if the relevant accounting document is not
been generated. Ask your FI guy to reverse the accounting doc. Only after the accounting doc is reversed and/or
deleted, you can cancel your invoice. You also need to check if any TAX documents are generated with your
Invoice. You need to reverse/delete those documents also.
210. What the job responsibilities would be for the Support Consultant? If the Consultant is working in
Offshore Support, How the business interaction would be there between the Consultant and Customer?
How the Customer Queries were handled successfully sitting from his location?
A) Job responsibility of a Support consultants is to handle routine tickets, which can be incident (routine
problems), change tickets (need configuration change, therefore a change request), normally a support
consultant can only advice a change but can't do it , because there is always a change advisory board on client
end to evaluate and implement the advised change.
Business interaction between users and customer can be through mail box utilities; outlook, even
telecoms and some companies also allow chat. Usually the customer provides with the number of the document

36

and client/company code and other necessary info. about the process which is facing problem, the consultant
tracks the project by logging in to development server and search out for causes, the solution is then sent to
user, maybe with snapshot if required.
For those people who asks for for tickets:
1. Tickets are normally raised by end user and carry a priority.
2. Those who are asking SAP gurus to tell them about tickets, pls note that most of the problems except for the
basic questions discussed in this group are the tickets themselves, tickets are nothing but the routine incidents
the SAP consultants get, if you regularly read the mails in the group you will soon start recognizing tickets.
211. What is purpose of maintaining common distribution channels and common divisions?
A) Common Distribution Channel and Common Divison are maintained so that if any master data like customer
or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the
multiplication of master records.
Eg: A customer is created for say sales area 1000/20/00 then the same customer can be used in sales area
1000/30/00 if we maintain 20 as common distribution channel. Hence no need for extending the customers...the
same for materials also.
212. What is the purpose of text determination, output Determination, storage location determination ?
A) Text Determination: Any Texts in Material Master/Material Determination/Order/Delivery , etc is meant to
convey messages to the subsequent documents for compliance. e.g. "Give Top Priority" message mentioned in
Order is meant for Production Dept.
213. What is purpose of account determination?
A) Account Determination: is integration between Finance and SD. The A/P along with Account Keys need to
be allocated accordingly with combination of Account Determination Group for Customer and Material if required.
Account Determination: Sales View, Sales Organisation, Distribution Chanel, Chart of Accounts, Account
Assignment Group for Customer and Material and Account Keys.
214. What is the purpose of Partner determination,
A) Partner Determination: To identify which type of Partner it is so that if required for same Customer different
Partner Functions may be required E.g Only One Sold To Party per Customer. More than One Ship to Party/ Bill
to Party/ Payer possible. Accordingly different Masters will have to be created. Useful for dispatch of Material in
cases of Ship to Party, sending Bill in case of Bill to Party and payment follow up /Dunning in case of Payer.
215. What is the purpose of Output Determination ?
A) Output Determination: What type of Output (Fax/Mail, etc) is required, where and in what Format(ABAP
Customization may be required in some cases especially Invoices).
216. What is the purpose of Storage Location Determination?
A) Storage Location Determination: depends on Plant, Shipping Point and Storage Conditions
217. What is the difference between the Availability check 01 (Daily requirement) and 02 (Individual
Requirement) in material master?
A) 01 and 02 are the checking group. Availability check is carried out with the help of these checking group and
checking rule. Checking group 01 and 02 are maintained on the material master.
01 - Individual requirement -For this system generates transfers the requirement for each order to the MRP So
that MM can either produce or procure.
02- Collective requirement.-In this all the requirements in a day or in a week are processed at a time. System
stores all requirements and passes on to the MRP in MRP run. In this system performance is high however you
can not do the backorder processing whereas in other you can do.
218. What are the responsibilities of a functional consultant in an implementation project?
A) A) Responsibilities in implementation project
- Preparing the functional specification documents.
- Review and approval of functional specifications.
- Designing a road map and setting approval from client.
- Changing existing configuration whenever needed.

37

- Setting up configuration for new enhancements.

- Handling basic issues of MM module.
b) Responsibilities in support project
- Handling customization, configuration, and enhancement related issues
- Handling tickets on Day to Day basis
- Monitoring S&D reports on daily basis required by clients
- Preparing functional specification documents
- Preparing end user training Documents
219. What are the responsibilities of a technical consultant in an implementation project?
A) Preparation of technical specifications, getting approvals from functional consultant and Project Manger,
assistance to functional consultant.
220. What are the main and sub modules in SAP?
A) SD, MM, FICO, PP, ABAP
221. What is ERP and SAP? and why implementing SAP in an organization? Explain the special features
of SAP over other ERPs?
A)
SAP is an ERP package. SAP can be fit it any language. It is used to get exact data with a fraction of
section which will be use fully for management to take correct decision in a short span of time. Using of sap
means there is no need to maintain the middle management in the organization because the CEO of the
company is able to direct the executives directly with the system.
SAP is able to integrate all functional organizational units together and retrieve exact data needed by
management. Therefore, investing on middle management will become less. and the user will be able to access
instance reports using the logistic information systems in SAP.
222. Explain the business flow of an implementation project?
A)

- Project preparation
- Business blue prints
- Fit gap analysis
- Realization
- Go live
- Support

223. Explain briefly about your role in current/previous project? (If you have one) ?
A) Team member
224. Explain your functional experience prior to SAP?
A)
224. Can you explain the modern technologies in SAP? Do you use this in your current project?
A) APO, BW, CRM,
225. Explain the terms "AS IS" To TO-Be and "FIT GAP ANALYSIS"?
A) Business blue print stage is called as is process. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the
business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap.
So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis.
In this stage, we should analysis the gap between as is and is as process
226. What are the responsibilities of "CORE TEAM" & "FUNCTIONAL TEAM" in an implementation?
A) Core Team are the power users who are selected for the SAP implementation. The Functional Team
gather the initial implementation requirement from these core team users who will be the bridge between the
SAP Functional Team and their department users with the expert work knowledge.

227. What exactly means automatic posting? can you explain?

38

A) Automatic posting could be, posting of accounting documents to FICO once invoice is created which can
also be controlled manually. Automatically determine the freight while pricing in ship doc. and post to the
relevant account to fico. usually automatic posting is posting of documents to FICO based on various account
keys and account groups.
228. How many clients we will create in landscape (like in development server, quality server, production
server) if we are creating more than one in each server what is exact use of that client?
A) Client landscape: Basic layout : dev -testing- production also
- Sandbox env. for trial and error
- Development Server for actually creating transports(CTS)
- Global server. If you have global implementations at different client locations
(eg; Canada, US, UK) (for testing purposes with actual master datas well)
- Testing sever (for regression testing purposes before moving to production, integration etc..)
- Production Server. the actual production system
The clients could be variable and could be created to a specific server. Usually a dev. where abap, functional
would mess around. say :
client 100 -functional consultants
client 300- abapers
client 400- other users(like super users etc)
229. How we can do invoice split depending on item category in which scenario we will use?
A) You first need to go for copying controls either from sales to billing (invoice) or delivery to billing or billing to
billing use transactions (VTAA,VTAF,VTLA,VTFA,VTFI,VTFF) all possibilities for copy controls. this basically is
flow of doc to doc. (may it be sales to billing, delivery to billing , or billing to billing etc..)
---> this is where you see the Item category and you control whether split is possible or not with the
indicator "B". eg: representing split in invoice based on item category. The field here "data VBRK/VBRP"
(header/item) which actually is used for splits or combining different deliveries. create a splitting rule using VOFM
(you need access key to get here). Here you define comparisons for the fields at header table and item tables
and the comparison fields say SPART "division". "purchase order "BSTKD Instance: 5 sales orders combined
into 2 deliveries and the split at the invoice would be 5 individual billing with respect to fields PO and DIv. of each
sales order would let you create 5 billings. You need to define the exact "field" in the comparison both at header
and item level that could lead to invoice split. the key here is the field that is different from header to item will
cause split at the item level.
230. How we will configure milestone billing , periodic billing and which scenario we will use?
A) Menu path: IMG->sales & distribution->Billing->billing plans->define billing plan types.
You set the start date and end dates if applicable to the type of billing you are using. What time to be billed (end
of month, start of month etc..)
Milestone billing is a plan type where a customer is billed for the amount distributed between the dates until
total value is reached eg: if the total billing amountis 1000 USD for a year. You will bill the customer in different
amounts say 200, 500, 300 at different intervals as per customer agreement.
Periodic billing is billing the customer for the total amount(here 1000 USD) at regular intervals periodically until
the customer agreement is reached. eg: 1000/12 for a 1 year agreement and say billed at the 1st day of every
month.
231. What are some pricing routines and SD functional specs?
A) Form routines for pricing and various other functions can be maintained form routines are something to do
with ABAP code. Go to (VOFM) where all requirements which are represented by form routines can be
maintained. Requirements are available to be assigned where access sequences are used (for determination
procedures, here pricing).
Once the T.code VOFM is accessed you will see requirements & select "pricing" again you need access key to
create your own or copy a routine. Say you want header price not to have effect the item pricing, you need to go
to the program to change ABAP code to meet the requirement. this specific requirement you created will be
assigned in the pricing proc. determination "requirements field" usually with a number beyond 600. Note: make
sure you activate your routine for its effect to take place
232. What is the movement type you used in consignment process?
A) 632, 633, 634, 631

39

233. Can team size be 40 in a project? Is there any generalized team size no. for any project? If we tell my
team size is 40 in that How many SD consultants will be there?
A) Team size cant be forty, There is no generalized size of team. Never 40 consultants work together on same
project. Only 6-9 SD Consultant will work in 24/7 project, i.e. Shift Wise
224. What is ALE?
A) Application Linking and Enabling - Generally Abapers work on it.
225. What is meant by condition technique: can we say it is the combination of condition types, access
sequence and condition tables?
A) YES
226. Where do we can find pricing procedure indicator in SD?
A) Pricing procedure is where we maintain all Conditions (like PR00, K004, MWST, KP00, etc)
227. Where do we assign calendar in the master records?
A) In IMG screen Global Settings.
228. What is the importance of customer account groups?
A) We maintain the customer account to maintain payment terms and inco-terms. Lets say, if SP is only
booking order but the goods should deliver in foreign country and for which Sold Party is not going to bare the
excise and other taxes then the Ship to party or payer will take taxes responsibility, then the tax is calculated
based on account groups.
229. What are Inco-terms? Where do we fix them? Where do you find in regular process?
A) Inco-terms or international comm. terms and u find in CMR - Sales area Data - billing Tab.
230. How can you make some of the fields as key field in generic tables?
A) Some fields in all tables will have an indicator To see that indicator, then go to SE11, display VBAK, u will
find MANDT on top, if you see after description 2 tick marks, those are key fields. Generally, these key fields are
used in writing any Program or Interface. The key fields will extract data of non key fields.
231. What is the standard group condition routine in condition type, what is its importance?
A) Its better to read Group Conditions in PR00.
232. How can we control entry possibility of condition values at order through condition type settings?
A) You can maintain the maximum and minimum value for all conditions.
233. What are the customizing settings in pricing procedure for tax condition type?
A) Check out the standard pricing procedure RVAA01 - MWST.
234. A bunch of data need to be imported/transported for Non-SAP to SAP system? A huge no. of Master
Records creations are required, how it is possible in SAP?
A) LSMW, BAPI.
235. What is the difference between PGI cancellation and Returns order?
A) PGI cancellation is done before the transportation of goods. But return order means its already transported
reached customer during transit if material is spoiled or broke or the goods r not delivered as per customer
requested date. then customer send the goods back to company.
236. What are the integrated areas in SD & FI, SD & MM, SD & PP in both implementation and
support projects?
A)
SD & FI - Possible in Account Determination, for posting the conditions to relevant G/l account like all
Prices goes to one particular G/L Account. Also in Credit Management, Taxes
SD & MM - Possible in Batches, Material Requirement Planning.
SD & PP - Possible in Material Requirement planning

237. Where do we maintain "Item Category Usage" at the master level?

40

A) SPRO --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item
Category Usage
Item Category Usage: Item category usages which control the usage of an item. Item category usage controls,
for example, the system response if during document processing an item does not refer to a material but to a text
item. Item category usage can also be maintained via the item categories
In contracts we are creating quantity contract and value contracts in that we only put the validity period after
validity period that contract will close, but customer want before one month closing the period system should alert
with popup box like this contract is going to close, for this sales manager can follow up the customer for renewal
the contract.
Getting a pop-up when the Contract is going to expire is not a Standard SAP thing. For this you need to
do some programming. Instead of this the Std system has a reminder system where in the open Contracts and
Quotations are popped up when you about to create a sales order.
This setting is in the Sales order header: Go to -- VOV8 --- Quotation and Outline agreement messages
If you want to have different number range for different sales area where the settings to be done
Number Rage are use to define what number to be assign to sales document type. Number range can be assign
Internal or external.
In internal number range system automatically assign a number to sales document according to number
range define in system. In External number range user manually assign number to sales document.
For Assigning Number Range use T-Code VN01 - Choose Intervals ---- Define your number range
238. What is difference between Material listing and Material exclusion?
A) Material listing is nothing but what ever materials user assigned to particular customer, then he can
access/ Purchase those materials only.
Material Exclusion is nothing but excluding the particular materials to the customer, then customer cannot
access/purchase those Materials.

240. What is transaction code for post goods issue?
A)
VL02N - Outbound Delivery Single Document
VL06G - Collective Processing Via Outbound Delivery Monitor
VL23 - Schedule Background Processing
VL09 - Cancellation/Reversal
241. What do u mean by Rollout project?
A) If suppose you are working for one project in India for Example: Coke Cola, how these people they are doing
is first they will implement this in one country and next time on wards for another country they will take
this as a reference like no changes in the business process and customizations every thing will be the same.
They just, will create no of plants ,sales offices ..etc as per their country specific Company code and in some
cases it will take care about CIN related changes at the time of roll out...
242. How revenue account is determined?
A) Revenue A/c is determination :
1. Application

1. Revenue Account
2. Customer Receivables Account

41

3. profit center Account.

4. Special Purchase Ledger Account
5. Profit Analysis Account.
244. What is "Order Fulfillment" in SAP SD functional context?
A) Order fulfillment represents the lifecycle of a customer order. This cycle begins with the receipt of the order
and continues through to the point of payment.
Order fulfillment is basically all the key activities that must be performed to successfully meet customers' needs.
These activities include:

Order preparation (What is needed?)

Order transmission (How does an order come in?)
Order entry (What happens to the order after it is received?)
Order filling (How does the order trigger the actual selection of product from inventory)
Order shipment (How is the product shipped?)
Order tracking (Where is the product and when will it be received by the customer?)

245. What is the difference between ATP check and Availability check?
A) Availability check determines if the desired quantity can be met on the desired delivery date.
There are 3 types of Availability checks 1, Against ATP 2, Against product allocation 3,
Against planning (push cycle)
Availability check is based on checking group(defines the type of requirement) and Checking rule
(scope of availability i.e. how the check has to be done)
And this can be configured in IMG -SD- Availability Check & Transfer of requirement.
Product allocation: In demand times we can limit the delivery quantity to the customers and that time the check
will be done against product allocation.
246. What are the limitations of SAP R/3?
A)
1) Cost
2) High understanding of the process
3) Time consuming for implementation
4) Huge documentation
247. Whats mean of back order processing?
A) While doing sales order the material is not available some times at that time we give the delivery date when
ever we expect goods. if the goods available earlier than delivery date we can go back with sales order and
deliver the goods before first delivery date. this process called as backorder processing.
Q. What is the purpose of using Condition indexes? How do you activate them?
A) Condition index - condition type is consist of so many conditions. During pricing it will determine all the
conditions those are maintained. present - in CONDITION TYPE overview screen master date one
check box is there to activate the check box.
248. How system picks up pricing while doing billing?
A)1- We have to create document Pricing procedure and this three i.e.
Customer pricing procedure + Document pricing procedure+ Sales area = Pricing procedure Determination.
First the system picks the price through the condition record which is triggered with access sequence which are
created on base of condition Tables which was assigned to condition type and This was attached to unique
pricing procedure......This is Pricing Procedure is assigned to each different Document Type with different Sales
areas
A)2 - Condition record will be created as a condition tables. which has got different conditions for price variation.
And this condition tables will be arranged in access sequence, This access sequence will be
assigned to condition type and finally this type of conditions will be formed as a pricing procedure. and you
know that this will be attached to Customer pricing procedure + document pricing procedure.

42

249. What is purpose of Requirement in Pricing Procedure?

A) Requirement is nothing but routine written by abapers according to client requirement.
Ex: some condition type that should be de-activates at order and activate at billing level.
Suppose routine 23 and 24 can be used at billing document for rebates (condition type for rebates
bi01 and bi02 ). We add this condition type at in our pricing procedure so that this document
de-activates at order level and activates at billing document level
250. What is the chapter ID?
A) An Unique 8 digits number given to each Material which is manufacturing in India, On the base of his unique
characteristics, which is published by the Central Government of India every year. It shows how much excise
duty has revealed/levied on each material. Each material in the schedule is assigned its own identification 8
code. so called "Chapter ID".
The schedule lists all materials involved in manufacturing it may be input material and out put materials for
production purpose.
Chapter ID is stored in the control code field. When you enter a material's Chapter ID in the material master, the
system copies the Chapter ID to the control code field. When you create a condition record, the filed name is
control code.
251. What is difference between UTXJ & MWST? Explain in detail?
A) UTXJ used in CIN SD MODULE- for excise tax
MWST used in standard SAP output tax condition type
252. Whether it possible to assign two different Sales Organization to the same company code?
A) Yes we can assign "n" number of sales org to a company code. But we cant reverse/change it.
253. What are the influencing factors for account determination for invoices?
A) Sales amount which is in sales order will be posted into some accounts.
Example: sales price should be posted into sales revenues A/c in the same way sales discount should be
posted into deduction account, other amount will post into some other account for this purpose we maintain
account determination.
Influencing factors for account determination is: chart of accounts ( FICO consultant will tell that chart of
accounts which is used for that company code)
Sales organization,
Distribution channel,
Account assignment group for customer ( which is in C Master Data, sales area tab page, billing view )
Account assignment group for material ( which is in material master record, sales organization 1 view )
account key which is assigned in pricing procedure G/L account number ( FI consultant will give this No)
254. Explain briefly about the SLA (Service level Agreement)?
A) SLA means Service Level Agreement. The Service level understanding between the SAP Support /
Enhancement leads team & client, it means whether to decide which problem / Ticket has to solve first,
on the base of his severity or priority & the time required to solve that problem
255. Can you change Sold to Party into Ship to Party?
A) we cant change sold to party to ship to party. but we can change ship to party to sold to party
A) we need cant change a sold to party to ship to party, because SP will be having all that partner functions.
256. How can we determine the Route?
A) Determination of the route is dependent on the following factors:
(1) Departure Country and departure zone-it gets determined from shipping point.
(2) Shipping Condition:-it is determined from sales document type or from Sold Party(Customer master).
(3) Transportation Group:- it is determined from Material master.
(4) Transportation Zone:- ship -to -party.
(5) Receiving country .

43

(6) Weight group(optional).

257. Who will prepare QADB?
A) Question and Answer Database. This comes into when the Project Preparation starts. This is prepared by
Senior functional Consultants.
258. What is Account Group?
A) Account Group in SAP SD is used to create the master records such as Customer master,
Vendor master etc, The account Group controls,
- Whether the partner is a one time customer or one time partner,
- which screens and fields are necessary foe entering master data,
- which fields are mandatory, optional and Display in master record
- which partner functions are valid.
259. Explain what is BOM?
A)
Bills of material means combining a group of materials in to one product. For E.g.: computer is a product
it is the combination of CPU, key board, mouse and monitor. There are two types processing is there in BOM.
ERLA and LUMF. In ERLA the main item level will be priced and sub item level will not priced. Similarly in LUMF
the main item level will not be priced and sub item level will be priced.
260. What will be the possible reasons for delivery not getting generated for an item?
A) Two possible reasons: 1) Stock is not available.
2) Requested delivery date and selection date in delivery document are
different. They should be same, else delivery will not be created.
261. What is BPR (Business Process Re-engineering)? That you have applied in your SAP
Implementation project?
A) BPR (Business process re-engineering) means that changing of the way a certain process is carried out with
the idea to remove/ improve steps that are causing bottlenecks or are redundant. The changes can be done on
the actual process on the field and then replicating them same on SAP or vice versa.
This process often faces strong user resistance and should be supported by in the organisation strongly
by the consultants and the core team. The organisation should be convinced of the changes and good training
needs to be imparted.
262. What is main purpose of maintaining the master data in System?
A) Company master data is responsible for all the records like sales order , delivery and billing and as well as in
customer payments. it is mandatory for the entire process, and for e.g. we cannot create a sales order with out
customer master data, material master data and condition master data
263. Can we delete the Sales Order Numbers Permanently?
A) We CAN delete, but the sales order should not have any subsequent documents saved
(e.g. delivery, invoice). If they are, we will have to delete/cancel them first, then and then only we can delete the
sales orders. va02-->sales Document--> Delete.
264. What is integration points between MM,PP and SD?
A) If any company follow the process of "Make to order" then this is also a integration point of SD,MM & PP.
265. What is Debugging?
A) Debugging is a ABAP tool to see and analyze the execution of each statement in the Program sentence by
sentence. Debugging is used when the particular transaction is showing error with abap related problem that
means If the standard program is not properly executing when you are giving inputs in any fields for the particular
transaction and the system shows error message and system terminates the transaction also according to the
program inbuilt by the standard SAP.
In this scenario Abapers will analyses the program to find out the route cause of the error by line by line in written
program. During debugging curser will recognize the statements only after 'start of selection' in the program.

44

Go to debugging mode, place /h in any particular transaction on the command field and enter then system
shows the message that debugging mode switched on status bar. Then go to program threw go to- systemprogram - place the curser on the statement below start of selection.
This is how we can analyses about the program statement by statement but this is done by abaper, any how as a
functional consultant we should know about this process

266. What are the 16 steps in the pricing procedure?

A) > step,
counter,
condition type,
description,
from,
to,
manual,
mandatory
statistics,
print,
subtotal,
requirements,
alternative condition type,
alternative condition base value,
account keys and
accruals
267. Tell me weather is it possible to make one sales order with 2 quotations?
A)1- Yes, as long as these quotations are open and the Sales area and shipping point are the same.
Sometimes there is a chance of automatic delivery split.
A)2 - YES IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE. COPY THE QUOTATIONS THROUGH ITEM SELECTION
OPTION AND COMBINE THE QUOTATIONS IN ONE ORDER.
268. What is the purpose of the request number which is generated when u save a customisation?
A)
Request # will be in the format of (System ID + K XXXXXX), where sys id is your DEV(development),
QAS (Quality) or PRO (Production) clients, letter K followed by a 6 digit number. Each Task in IMG is attached
with a Request #. When we need to transport the requests from 1 client to another,
Example: DEV server to QAS server, we 1st need to release lower level requests followed by higher
level requests using SE09 / SE10. Only then we will be able to transport that Request id, which is done by Basis
Consultants.
Customizing request : For recording changes to Customizing settings and transporting them, if
necessary, to other SAP Systems or clients Ex: Dev Server to Quality Server or Production Server
269. What are the different types of REQUEST NO when we save the configuration/customisation in
realization phase of implementation in SAP SD?
A) Four types of request almost used in Business
1.
2.
3.
4.

Customizing request
Workbench request
Transport of copies
Relocation

270. What is the difference between VK11 & VK31 ?

A)
T.code vk11 used for individual Maintenance of condition record and
T.code vk31 used for mass Maintenance of condition record

45

271. What is condition supplement and why is it used?

A) A condition supplement is a group of conditions that should be applied every time a certain condition is found.
for E.g. If we define a material price, we'll enter condition records for that material and the corresponding price. If
we also want to give discount to that material every time the price is determined, we can enter the discount
condition type as a condition supplement. So whenever the price is determined
for the material, itll
automatically include the discount condition records.
272. Some materials have been blocked for procurement and production. Even though deletion flag is set
for a material/plant level, the order can be still entered ( with a warning message). Is there a way to block
such transactions for a material flagged for deletion?
A) Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the material master may be used to block any
transaction for the material.
273. We can define our own exchange rate types and use them instead of the defaulted types,
'M', 'B' and 'G'. How can we overwrite default types in SD?
A)
Exchange rate gets copied from the customer master record. Exchange rate types are to be
maintained for the customer in the sales screen of the customer master record.
274. The PL00 condition is fine in delivery. But when we try to give the print, either the screen or printer,
an error V1032 occurs. Why?
A) In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in delivery) you must do 'Packing' in the delivery note (edit>packing)
275. We have to enter a shipping point while creating a delivery. Is it possible to create delivery
without shipping points?
A) When you are releasing a sales order, choose Sales document -> Subsequent functions-> Create
delivery, then the shipping point will be brought in from the sales order. In all other scenarios you have to key in
the shipping point. The above described scenario will only work if all items on the sales order are to be shipped
from the same shipping point.
276. SAP allows a non-inventory item and an inventory item to be in the same document till delivery but
splits at the time of creation of billing document. Can we combine a non-inventory item with an inventory
item in one invoice? Can we treat it as a value item in sales order so that it is priced and then make it as
a text item in delivery documents so that it appears in the same invoice and does not split?
A)1. Make the non-stock material deliverable, but not pick able. Both items will carry into the delivery, and
therefore appear on the same invoice.
A)2. Change the copy rule for orders->invoices and deliveries->invoices to specify that invoice combination is
permitted. However note that for system to create combined invoices, PO number, payment terms, sales
organization, and distribution channel must be identical. Else undesirable combinations may be created by the
system.
277. Whether It is impossible to price a material at a material level (MATNR), when a material has a
pricing reference (MVKE-PMATN) set up against it, in the master data. Pricing always look for the
preference/reference, even if a price is set up against the material and not the pref. How can we price a
material on the base of material and preference?
A) The field used to look up at the price is defined in Access sequence. You may find a step with PMATN as
material number. If you insert a step with MATNR then the system will first look for the material, if not found (use
the exclusion tick box) it will look for the pref.
278. Can we generated a new condition table? Assigned the condition to access sequence. Created a
condition record. Access sequence is assigned to the output type. But when we create a billing
document, output screen comes up blank for the output type. When we look up Determination Analysis,
we get an error "Note 524 Access not made (Initialized Field)". What else is required to be done?
A) Assign output determination procedure to the header of the document and the output type.
279. How can we set up to have the VAT# be accepted in the Ship-To Party, what are the elements
controls the Master File Data Control screen?
A) IMG->Financial Accountancy -->Acct Receivable and Acct Payable -->Customer acct --->Master Record- ->
Prepare to Create Customer-> Define Acct. Group.

46

280. We want to explode Bill of Material automatically at time of Order entry and explode Equipment BOM
in the sales order. What are the setting required?
A) Use an item category that is configured for bills of material for having a sales BOM to explode automatically.
Standard SAP item categories are:
TAQ - TAE (ERLA) Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM header level
TAP - TAN (LUMF) Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM item level
281. How can we make the Customer Group 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5) a mandatory field?
A) Logistic General-> Logistics Basic Data) Business Partners -> Customers -> Control -> Define account groups
and field selection for customer. Choose Customer Acct. GR. (double-click). -> Field Status: Sales data (double
click) -> sales (double click) .Check the radio button against Customer Gr as REQ. ENTRY. Save the settings to
make customer GR entry mandatory.
282. Is there any user exit to copy the data into planning table?
A) Use user exit MCP20001 and include ZXSOPU01.
283. We get a report screen: "Goods issue: Problem Log" during the delivery process when activating
Post Goods Issue button. We want to include our own error message to this list if the selected batch is
not on a customer defined table. What is the best way?
A) Try User exit - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
284. Please explain cut over strategy procedure? Will the system golive 100% at the same time and cut the
legacy system or will it be like 20% first day and 50% next day like that?
A) Cutover strategy depends upon how the organizations design their data load strategies. Normally, you decide
the sequence of Data loads for Configuration settings, Master data, Transaction data which follows whom and
then you make a copy of the system as a Production system a day before and after checking the successful data
loads, you go-live 100% or partial again depending upon organizational setup and policies.
285. Which statements concerning goods issue are true?
A Goods issue reduces requirements in materials planning
B Goods issue posts value changes to the stock account in inventory accounting
C Goods issue posts value changes to the stock account in asset accounting
D Goods issue posts value changes to the tax account
E Goods issue reduces warehouse stocks
286. Which of the following statements about billing are correct?
A. Invoice dates for creating invoices at certain times are maintained in the calendar.
B. You cannot carry out pricing again during billing.
C. A transaction-specific requirement, such as "deliveries must be combined in a collective invoice" can be
set to control billing.
D. If there are several payers for one delivery, only one billing document is created for each player.
287. How is the schedule line determined? C
A. Item category and document type
B. Item category group and strategy group on the material master record
C. Item category and MRP type on the material master record
D. MRP Type and shipping point
288. When processing a billing due list, you have the following options?
A.
B.
C.
D.

The invoicing run can be started as a simulation run.

For performance reasons, the invoicing run via billing due list processing can only be carried out in batch.
The invoice run can be carried out for delivery-related and order-related billing documents simultaneously.
Order-related billing documents and delivery-related billing documents must always be created separately.

289. How does the SAP system enable you to check the reason for documents not being combined
in a billing document?

47

A. Using the Spilt analysis function in the environment menu of the billing document.
B. Control of the document flow.
C. Control of the billing log.
290. How is the schedule line determined?
A. Item category and document type.
B. Item category group and strategy group on the material master record.
C. Item category and MRP type on the material master record.
D. MRP Type and shipping point
291. What is the SAP System Landscape Introduction? its Explanation ?
A. Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the servers or some may even call it the architecture
of the servers viz. SAP is divided into three different landscape DEV, QAS and PROD.
- DEV would have multiple clients for ex: 190- Sandbox, 100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.
- QAS may again have mutiple clients for ex: 300- Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.
- PROD may have something like a 200 Production.
These names and numbers are the implementer's discreet on how they want it or they have been using
in their previous implementations or how is the client's business scenario. Now whatever you do in the Sandbox
doesn't affect the other servers or clients. Whenever you think you are satisfied with your configuration and you
think you can use it moving forward, you RE-DO it in the golden client (remember, this is a very neat and clean
client and you cannot use it for rough usage). As you re-do everything that you had thought was important and
usable, you get a transport request pop up upon saving every time. You save it under a transport request and
give your description to it. Thus the configuration is transported to the Unit Test client (180 in this example).
You don't run any transaction or even use the SAP Easy Access screen on the 100 (golden) client. This
is a configuration only client. Now upon a successful transport by the Basis guy, you have all the configuration in
the Testing client, just as it is in the Golden client. The configuration remains in sync between these two
clients. But in the Testing client you can not even access SPRO (Display IMG) screen. It's a transaction only
client where you perform the unit test. Upon a satisfactory unit test, you move the good configuration to the next
SERVER (DEV).
The incorrect or unsatisfactory configuration is corrected in Golden (may again as well be practised in the
sandbox prior to Golden) and accordingly transported back to 180 (Unit Test) until the unit test affected by that
particular config is satisfactory.
The Golden client remains the 'database' (if you wanna call it that) or you may rather call it the 'ultimate'
reference client for all the good, complete and final configuration that is being used in the implementation.
292. What is SAP System Landscape Directory and its purpose, Feature and Explanation?
A)Purpose:- A modern computing environment consists of a number of hardware and software components that
depend on each other with regard to installation, software updates, and demands on interfaces. The SAP System
Landscape Directory (SLD) simplifies the administration of your system landscape.
The SLD is a server application that communicates with a client application by using the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The SLD server contains component information, a landscape description, and a
name reservation, which are based on the standard Common Information Model (CIM). The CIM standard is a
general schema for describing the elements in a system landscape. This standard is independent of any
implementation.
Features: The component description provides information about all available SAP software modules. This
includes version numbers, current patch level, and dependencies between landscape components. SAP makes
this information available to its customers. You can download the current component description from SAP
Service Marketplace, which then updates your local component description (see SAP Note 669669). It is also
possible to add instances for third-party components to the component description.
The system landscape description represents the exact model of an actual system landscape. Together with the
current component description, the system description provides information for various processes
(the system administration and implementation, for example).
The example below shows a possible scenario that illustrates how the component and system landscape
description functions.

48

Example: On the left-hand side of the following graphic is the master description for all existing SAP software
modules. SAP maintains this information. The local component description on the right-hand side (client side)
can be updated in accordance with the master description. An installed mySAP.com component is registered in
the System Landscape Directory. The component description contains information about the installed
components. If, for example, a new Support Package is available for this component, SAP publishes this
information using the master description. In this way, the customers receive all the latest information relevant for
their system landscape promptly.
293. What is the purpose of text determination, account determination, partner determination, output
determination, storage location determination
A) Text determination: For transferring information from material or customer to order/delivery or invoice
(and anything in between)
Account determination: For transferring financial and costing information to proper financial docs
Partner determination: For determine who is is legally resposible for A/r, who the goods are going to
and whatever else you waana drive through this functionality.
Output determination: What kinda output does a sales/delivery/billing document create and who gets it,
where?. For example A partner might get an EDI notification for a sales order just confirmed, whereas a
financial/ leasing company gets the invoice!
A) 2. a) Text Determination: Any Texts in Material Master/Material Determination/Order/Delivery , etc is meant
to convey messages to the subsequent documents for compliance. e.g. "Give Top Priority" message mentioned
in Order is meant for Production Dept.
(b) Account Determination: is integration between Finance and SD. The A/P along with Account Keys need to
be allocated accordingly with combination of Account Determination Group for Customer and Material if required.
(c) Partner Determination: To identify which type of Partner it is so that if required for same Customer different
Partner Functions may be required e.g Only One Sold To Party per Customer. More than One Ship to Party/ Bill
to Party/ Payer possible. Accordingly different Masters will have to be created. Useful for dispatch of Material in
case of Ship to Party, sending Bill in case of Bill to Party and payment follow-up/Dunning in case of Payer.
(d) Output Determination: What type of Output (Fax/Mail, etc) is required, where and in what Format(ABAP
Customisation may be required in some cases especially Invoices). (e) Storage Location Determination: depends
on Plant, Shipping Point and Storage Conditions
294. What are the five imp fields to be maintained in account determination?
A) Account Determination: Sales View, Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel, Chart of Accounts, Account
Assignment Group for Customer and Material and Account Keys.
4. What is meant by transfer of data from legacy code to sap Legacy Code?
A) It should be legacy data to SAP. What it means is you want to transfer all the customer and materials and all
other information from Older (legacy system) to new SAP system. You can do it using many tools, most
noticeably MDMs.
A)2: Before installation of SAP, Data maintained by Company is called Legacy Data. At the time of installation, it
is required to transfer Data from Legacy to SAP like Masters (Material/Customer, etc). It can be done in various
ways like BDC, LSMW, etc.
295. What do you do really in pricing determination, and what are the main differences between pricing
procedures?
A) Pricing is determined by combination of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel, Division, Customer Pricing
Procedure and Document Pricing Procedure.
A)2. We determine how the prices are calculated, taking into account sales area(sales org, distribution channel,
division), document type and customer(generally sold-to-party). The main differences between pricing
procedures would be the differences as we mentioned above, from the point of view of field entries. Coming to
the output and the procedure, Suppose the condition types used will be different and hence the following whole

49

procedure. One pricing procedure determination to the others, which data control these differences
295. What type of reports generally a support consultant maintain and report
A) Depends on Customer requirements.
296. What is the purpose of shipping point determination?
A) So that Shipping Point is determined automatically once the settings for the same are done.
296.2. what is purpose of Access Sequences?
A) Access Sequences is a Search Strategy. The SAP system will search for a valid condition records with in
given condition records
296.3. What is purpose of Account Groups in SAP R/3? --- T.code : OBD2
A) The Account groups is a group of Properties which control the creation of master records. Its determines
which data-fields are require, and which fields are optional entries, display fields, suppress fields to be filled when
creating a customer master records.
296.4. what controls the Number Ranges in SAP R/3?
A) The Number Range controls the Business Transaction Documents.
296.5. How do you connect to Client Environment Server?
A) Centric Mat Frame is a tool which connect the client server and HP server desk and Aventail.
297. What and which types of copy controls we change?
A) Copy Control: is basically meant so that Data is copied from preceding Document to subsequent one. What
subsequent Document is required is to some extent determined by Customer Requirements as well as Document
Types. In general case of Standard Order, it will be Copy Control(Order to Delivery)from OR to LF .
298. where and how to maintain copy controls?
A) Check for yourself in IMG (Sales Document types and Delivery Document Types)
299. What is purpose of maintaining common distribution channels and common divisions?
A) Common Distribution Channel and Common Divison are maintained so that if any master data like customer
or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the
multiplication of master records. E.g. A customer is created for say sales area 1000/20/00 then the same
customer can be used in sales area 1000/30/00 if we maintain 20 as common distribution channel. Hence no
need for extending the customers...the same for materials also.
300. What is the difference between the Availability check 01 (Daily requirement) and 02 (Individual
Requirement) in material master?
A) 01 and 02 are the checking group. Availability check is carried out with the help of these checking group and
checking rule. Checking group 01 and 02 are maintained on the material master.
01 - Individual requirement -For this system generates transfers the requirement for each order to the
MRP .So that MM can either produce or procure.
02- Collective requirement.-In this all the requirements in aday or in a wek are processed at a time.
System stores all req and passes on to the MRP in MRP run.In this system performance is high however
you can not do the backorder processing whereas in other you can do. We get a report screen: Goods
issue: Problem Log during the delivery process when activating Post Goods Issue button.
301. We want to include our own error message to this list if the selected batch is not on a customer
defined table? What is the best way?
A) Try User exit - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
302. Some materials have been blocked for procurement and production. Even though deletion flag is set
for a material/plant level, the order can be still entered ( with a warning message). Is there a way to block
such transactions for a material flagged for deletion?
A) Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the material master may be used to block any transaction
for the material.

1. Which agreement type I should consider, is this custmer rebate(0003), material rebate(0002) or Rebate on the
basis of sales volume(0005), because here client is not offering rebate on Sales volume in rupees or dollar. He is
only concerned with totat sales in kiloleter(Quantity). As per rebate agreement concern rebate is offered in
percentage. If your distributors are fewer (far less than 900 materials) then you should go for only customer
rebate.
2. Guide me for conditions types and scale basis for maintaining condition records.
When creating customer rebates (T:VB01) select customer rebate, there you will see a header tab: Conditions ,
click it add how many customers you want. For each customer you can create scale based conditions (under the
heading tab :Scales).
3. Is it necesary to maintain condition record for every material and every customer defining the scale? Because
in this scennario client is going for incentives scheme for each material and each customer (distrbutor). No need
to create condition record for every material if you create customer rebate.
303. How to create the customer master?
A) The following are the T-codes for central creation of customer master.
XD01 Create Customer (Centrally)
XD02 Change Customer (Centrally)
XD03 Display Customer (Centrally)
XD04 Customer Changes (Centrally)
XD05 Block customer (centrally)
XD06 Mark customer for deletion (centr.)
XD07 Change Customer Account Group
XD99 Customer master mass maintenance
XDN1 Maintain Number Ranges (Customer)
You need to identify various parameters within each Account group based on which the reco
account is identified within the customer master. Customer master is basically divided into 3 tabs.
- General - General master details, Jurisdiction codes, Region, Transportation zone, export data, etc.
- Company data - payment terms, account management, reconciliation account, insurance etc.
- Sales data - Sales product attributes, sales office, sales group, customer pricing procedure, Customer.
Statistical grp, - Shipping data, - Billing data, - Partner functions.
You can create a customer based on 3 views:
1. For Account purpose - FD01/FD02/FD03 etc
2. Sales purpose - XD01/XD02/XD03 etc.
3. Centrally - VD01/VD02/VD03 etc.
304. What is the Function of item category and item category group?
A) Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it
also effects the processing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher
Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc. w
305. How can we know whether the customer is one-time or regular?
A) One can maintain Account Group for One-time customers. By which we can identify one-time customers.
306. What happens when you do not enter a value for a manual and mandatory condition type?
A) The pricing procedure will reject the conditions in the sales order
307. Do header condition type have an access sequence?
A) No
308. Org structure: Relation between Company - Sales org
A) One-to-Many
309. What are sales area and its components?
A) Sales area consists of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel and Division.

51

310. What are legacy systems?

A) The Existing system on which current system is working, from which the current system will be migrated
to SAP system
311. What are Cumulative Condition Records?
A) There is a field:- "condition update" during configuration for a condition type (at v/06)... has it anything to do
with cumulative condition Records?
312. IF you have 3 different access sequences for one condition record then in a pricing procedure
in what hierarchy will you maintain the three accesses?
A) In Condition Records (T Code VK11), you would be putting values to corresponding Condition Types.
Now one Condition Type can be assigned to one access sequence. In Access Sequence, you can
assign whichever tables and fields are required. you cannot have one condition record for 3 access
sequences.
313. What happens in the access sequence when you put all the ticks in the exclusive field?
A) When you put tick in exclusive field of all access sequences, in my opinion, it will try to get available data
from the first. Only in case, data is not available, will it move on to the next one.
314. What is meant by delivery group?
A) Delivery Group is basically grouping all individual deliveries for Billing. It should have the same Ship to Party,
Shipping Point, etc.
315. What triggers the automatic creation of PR or PO in case of third party sales?
A) In item category we can set "automatic PO" so that PO and PR will automatically generate after saving the
order. You never change the item category configuration to "automatic PO". It is the schedule line category type
which triggers the automatic PR creation.
316. What are the steps that are required to include sales person as a partner function in the partner
determination?
A) Partner function sales represenative or person responsible these two we can add through partner function in
partner procedure.
317. What is z transaction?
A) We copied standard TC or object and rename it by Z its basically stnd name which will start from
Z (User defined)
318. Can you create sales order for 40 items if the quotation is sent for 30 items?
A) Yes.
319. What is the importance of requirement field in access sequence?
A) System will not go to access condition type system will reply through formula.
320. What makes the immediate delivery in cash sales?
A) Order type immediate delivery switch on.
312.What is change request and task? What was your task no.? I need an example or a task no. that is
being used in your project to clear few things in my mind?
A) The Change Request is that request when you do some thing new in customizing or configuration in the
system. The system will automatically pop with the change request pop box , when you can give request name
as defined by the system or can give your own request name with heading of what changes you have made
while customization. The system will generate a request number and you save it.
(e.g.:- VEDK-2785467) VEDK- means the Clients System name then followed by the system generated request
number. Now when you want to release the request you have to use the T-code SE10 where you can see the
requests under the heading modifiable or released. Go to the modifiable option. Each request will have again an
internal request number. First you have to release the internal request and then release the external request
number. This will in turn released by the basis guys thru the T-code SM64 in a group when all the requests are
pooled from different users.

52

The task which you have mentioned in your question is nothing but the what task you have performed while
customizing the client system and the heading name which have given it for that task and generated a request
for that task.
314. What is your client Number in the project? Like how we have 800 for IDES?
A) Generally like IDES client, when you are in the project, the client is also given a number called client number.
So while implementing a project The entire implementation is done under phases and in different Client no
Servers.
e.g.:-take a company called ABC which is implementing SAP.
So the Client is given a number in the following manner by the SAP Implementers at the site
291- Sand Box server (Initial Testing scenarios Server)
292- Development Sever (With client data of minimum 15 days transactions)
294- Testing Server (the scenarios developed in development server is tested here)
295- Golden Master Server (Quality cum Testing Server) checked finally before transferring to prod server
296- Production Server (where the clients live data is stored and daily business transactions are done)
315. How to restrict users for not changing some fields in T-code va02?
A) There are two ways to do this:
- Make a transaction variant thru SHD0 and assign it to your sales doc. While creating the variant you can
place non-changeability ticks on specific fields. Next allow those users only to work with your transaction
variant but not with the original transaction.
- You could make use of user-exit FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION in include MV45AFZZ (via
authorization objects, which you can assign in role customizing).
The latter is more flexible but it is not feasible if you want to place restrictions to a large amount of fields. *-316. How can we delete the Sales Orders?
A) You can very well delete sales order using transaction VA02, but with a constraint that no subsequent
document is created against it. Invoice can be cancelled using T code VF11 and then you can reverse the Goods
Issue using VL09 and making the picking quantity zero in the delivery document and delete the delivery order
using VL02N . You can then delete the sales order then.
317. How can invoices be cancelled or deleted?
A) You cannot delete an Invoice. You can only cancel it with (VF11) if the relevant accounting document is not
been generated. Ask your FI guy to reverse the accounting doc. Only after the accounting doc is reversed and/or
deleted, you can cancel your invoice. You also need to check if any TAX documents are generated with your
Invoice. You need to reverse/delete those documents also.
318. Some materials have been blocked for procurement and production. Even though deletion flag is set
for a material/plant level, the order can be still entered ( with a warning message). Is there a way to block
such transactions for a material flagged for deletion?
A) Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the material master may be used to block any
transaction for the material.
319. We can define our own exchange rate types and use them instead of the defaulted types, 'M', 'B' and
'G'. How can we overwrite default types in SD?
A) Exchange rate gets copied from the customer master record. Exchange rate types are to be maintained for
the customer in the sales screen of the customer master record.
320. What is ERP?
A) ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. The definition of enterprise resource planning is an integrated
software solution used to manage a companys resources. ERP systems integrate all business management
functions, including planning, inventory/materials management, engineering, order processing, manufacturing,
purchasing, accounting and finance, human resources, and more.
321. Why should we implement an ERP system?
A) ERP software integrates all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that
can serve all those different departments' particular needs. ERP combines finance, HR, manufacturing and
distribution all together into a single, integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the

53

various departments can more easily share information and communicate with each other. This integrated
approach can have a tremendous payback provided the software is installed and used correctly.
322. What are the benefits of an ERP System?
A) The benefits derived from ERP can far outweigh the costs of the system, providing that the system is selected
carefully and is appropriate for your company from a feature, cost, and technology standpoint. Some of the
benefits realized are: 1) A single integrated system, 2) Streamlining processes and workflows
3) Reduce redundant data entry and processes, 4) Establish uniform processes that are based on recognized
best business practices 5) Information sharing across departments, Improved access to information, Improved
workflow and efficiency, Improved customer satisfaction based on improved on-time delivery, increased Quality,
shortened delivery times ,Reduced inventory costs resulting from better planning, tracking and forecasting of
requirements, Turn collections faster based on better visibility into accounts and fewer billing and/or delivery
errors, Decrease in vendor pricing by taking better advantage of Quantity breaks and tracking vendor
performance, Track actual costs of activities and perform activity based costing, Provide a consolidated picture of
sales, inventory and receivables, An ERP system provides the solid operational backbone manufacturers and
distributors need to improve the volume of production and fulfillment of orders while reducing costs. By
optimizing your manufacturing and distribution operations with ERP, you'll also be able to focus on new business
opportunities.

324. what is the purpose of table maintenance,(i think it's for authorization purpose) what is meant by
authorization?
A) SM30 is table maintenance, It is used for checking who changed and what changes took place in the table.
or Table maintenance is for creating, adding data to an existing table.
325. What can u do in UTP?
A) UTP: unit test plans in this we test the task by various test case senarios.
326. In scripts how to upload logo (it's saved in .bmp file ) i am asking procedure?
A) Example by giving various input values and checking the output Use transaction SE78 to import graphics to
SAP. In the form painter, you can either include directly to the form using menu Edit->Graphic->Create or using
the INCLUDE statement in a window. To use an INCLUDE statement, goto into the window script editor and use
menu Include->Graphic. The include can look like this for a bitmap:
/: BITMAP MYLOGO OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON
Or use report RSTXLDMC
You run the report RSTXLDMC, give your logo(Saved as .tif file) in the parameter and run the report. Then Go to
Se71 and include the image from the text elements. For this you go to the Page windows. Press the text
elements button and the include the logo(Which actually has been saved as a TEXT) using Insert->TextStandard. Choose your LOGO.
327. Why u can call(r using) ssf_function_module_name in smart forms?
A) Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program. Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass
once or By using & Quotation ; ssf_function_module_name &Quot; the user can obtain the function mudule
generated by the Smart form. The input parameter is the SMARTFORM name the output parameter is the
function module generated .It has to be type RS38L_FNAM. After getting the output parameter . CALL
FUNCTION(output parameter name). to SMARTFORMS

54

328. what is availability check, how to configure it?

A) When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically for the
dynamic order management . among these basic functions , availability check and transfer of requirements are
crucial. The system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and
Quantities , this information is passed to MRP and an avialability check and transfer of requirements are
executed
First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material avaialbility date = desired
delivery date-transit time-loading time-picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out
using ATP logic which means available to promise Quantity =total ware house stock +incoming orders-outgoing
along with the availability check the requirements also are transferred to MRP.
the configuration involves following
1. Switching on at schedule line castigatory the availability check and TOR
2. configure the availability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule
329. What is the difference between ATP check and availability check how these reflect in sales
order(which check system considers) what are the IMG settings for the same?
A) ATP Check is checking of availably Quantities i.e ATP = Total Warehouse Stock + Planned receipts(Incoming
Stock) - Planned Issues (Out going stock)
Availability Check is an integral part of business process it determines the if the desire deliverable Quantity can
be met on requested delivery date or not. Then it passes to Material Requirement Planning. Or we can also say..
availability check is nothing but checking of availability of stock which is placed in the order , sys carries out this
check through a available to promise (ATP) logic =where house stock +planned receipts (incoming stock)planned issues (out going stock)
330. What we normally check for in the Database Testing?
Database testing involves some indepth knowledge of the given application and reQuires more defined plan of
approach to test the data. Key issues include :
1) data Integrity
2) data validity
3) data manipulation and updates.
Tester must be aware of the database design concepts and implementation rules
331. We get a report screen: & Quotation; Goods issue: Problem Log& Quot; during the delivery process
when activating Post Goods Issue button. We want to include our own error message to this list if the
selected batch is not on a customer defined table. What is the best way?
A) Try User exit - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
1. What is the purpose of text determination, account determination, partner determination, output
determination, storage location determination?

9. What and where types of copy controls we change
10. How to and where to maintain copy controls
11. What is purpose of maintaining common distribution channels and common divisions?
332. What is purpose of maintaining common distribution channels and common divisions?
A) Common Distribution Channel and Common Divison are maintained so that if any master data like customer
or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the
multiplication of master records.

55

Eg: A customer is created for say sales area 1000/20/00 then the same customer can be used in sales area
1000/30/00 if we maintain 20 as common distribution channel. Hence no need for extending the customers...the
same for materials also.
333. What do you do really in pricing determination, and what are the main differences between one
pricing procedure determination to the others, which data control these differences
A) we determine how the prices are calculated, taking into account sales area(sales org, distribution channel,
division), document type and customer(generally sold-to-party).
The main differences between pricing procedures would be the differences as I mentioned above, from the point
of view of field entries. Coming to the output and the procedure, I suppose the condition types used will be
different and hence the following whole procedure.
334. What is the purpose of text determination, account determination, partner determination, output
determination, storage location determination?
A) Text determination: For transferring information from material or customer to order/delivery or invoice
(and anything in between)
Account determination: For transferring financial and costing information to proper financial docs
Partner determination: For determining who is legally responsible for A/r, who the goods are going to and
whatever else you waana drive through this functionality.
Output determination: What kind output does a sales/delivery/billing document create and who gets it,
where?. For example A partner might get an EDI notification for a sales order just confirmed, whereas a
financial/leasing company gets the invoice!
335. What is meant by transfer of data from legacy code to sap Legacy Code ?
A) It should be legacy data to SAP. What it means is you want to transfer all the customer and materials and all
other information from Older (legacy system) to new SAP system. You can do it using many tools, most
noticeably MDMs.
336. How to create excise invoice and what is it ?
A) As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of
manufactured goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report
on fortnightly / monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose,
which record all the transactions including movement of goods, cinvat credit available and cash balance
available. In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating,
extracting and printing excise invoice.
337. What is the purpose of text determination, account determination, partner determination, output
determination, storage location determination?
(A) (a) Text Determination: Any Texts in Material Master/Material Determination/Order/Delivery , etc is meant to
convey messages to the subsequent documents for compliance. e.g. "Give Top Priority" message mentioned in
Order is meant for Production Dept.
(b) Account Determination: is integration between Finance and SD. The A/P along with Account Keys need to
be allocated accordingly with combination of Account Determination Group for Customer and Material if required.
(c) Partner Determination: To identify which type of Partner it is so that if required for same Customer different
Partner Functions may be required e.g Only One Sold To Party per Customer. More than One Ship to Party/ Bill
to Party/ Payer possible, accordingly different Masters will have to be created. Useful for dispatch of Material in
case of Ship to Party, sending Bill in case of Bill to Party and payment follow-up/Dunning in case of Payer.
(d) Output Determination: What type of Output (Fax/Mail, etc) is required, where and in what Format
(ABAP Customisation may be required in some cases especially Invoices).
(e) Storage Location Determination: depends on Plant, Shipping Point and Storage Conditions

56

338. What is the difference between the Availability check 01 (Daily requirement) and 02 (Individual
Requirement) in material master?
A) 01 and 02 are the checking group. Availability check is carried out with the help of these checking group and
checking rule. Checking group 01 and 02 are maintained on the material master.
01 - Individual requirement -For this system generates transfers the requirement for each order to the MRP .So
that MM can either produce or procure.
02- Collective requirement.-In this all the requirements in a day or in a week are processed at a time. System
stores all requirement and passes on to the MRP in MRP run.In this system performance is high however you
can not do the backorder processing whereas in other you can do.
339. What is purpose of Customer Master Data and Material Master Data?
A) As goods and services are sold by the Company, for which the organizational data has been maintained, we
need to represent this material and service data in our system as well as maintain and present all out
different Sold to a parties and Partners.
A) Material Master Data : The material master data is used by the system to represent the data pertinent to the
product or service that company selling or producing.
340. What is purpose of Customer Material Information Records?
A) Customer material information records is information on a material that applies to a specific customer.
Ex: CMIR would be a customers description of your material. We can record this customer-specific information
for a material in a CMIR. A CMIR is the highest level of data the system copies into the sales order as for as
absorbing data relevant to the specific combination of customer and material that we have.
341. What is purpose of Document master data?
A) Business transactions are stored in the form of documents. These SD Document are structured in such a way
that all the necessary information is stored in a systematic way.

function as master data fields that are copied into the header and item data of the sales order.
347. What is the needs of Quotation in SAP Sales cycle?
A) The quotation is a sales document type that comes before the sales order and after an inquiry. It is used as a
proposed agreement of a price and quantity for a particular material or services for a particular date.
348. What is the need of Copy controls in SAP system?
A) Copy Control is used by the system to determine what /which document, item categories and schedule line
categories can be copied into each or referenced. This includes all three tiers of data allowed into and from
delivery document and or billing documents.
349. What is the purpose of Item categories in SAP?
A) The item category is one of the most important key fields in the SAP sales cycle. It controls the sales
document and affects the schedule line category. The item category of the sales order affects the delivery and
finally impacts the billing process as well.
350. How is the item categories determined?
A) Sales document + item category group + Usage + high level item category = item category.
351. What is the purpose of Schedule line Categories in the SAP?
A) The schedule line category is used by the system to determine it and them the item is relevant for delivery.
Only those items that have schedule lines assigned will have a delivery created for them.
352. How is the Schedule line category determined?
A) Item category + MRP Type = Schedule line category.
352. What is the means of Contracts in SAP?
A) Numerous business relationship relate to contracts or agreement with customers and the represented
business, based upon material, price and quantity over a fixed period of time. They facilitate planning on half of
the business and guarantee a fixed price agreement with the customer.
A) Quantity Contract: The quantity contract takes place after the quotation but before an order. The are mainly
used to limit the quantity in demand by the customer and to offer special pricing.
A) Service Contract: The service contract is an interface and legal agreement between the customer who
receive the services from the Company and the company which supplies the service a to end customer
C) Value Contract: The Value contract is similar to the quantity contract in that it limits material or services to a
customer. However, instead of limiting due to the quantity of stock, the contract and its selling is based upon a
total value.
D) Master Contracts: A master contacts consists of other contracts the are grouped as lower level contracts.
Thus the master contract has the general data that is relevant for all lower contracts over a specified period.
Different Contracts are grouped in a master contract to ensure and smooth flow of business transaction.
353. What is the means of Scheduling Agreements?
A) Scheduling Agreement are outline agreements that the business has with a customer. They contain delivery
dates and quantities to be delivered.
354. What is the purpose of Condition Technique in SAP System?
A) The condition Technique is the single largest configuration technique used in the SAP SD module.
The condition technique is used in pricing text determination, output determination and material
determination, basically any where you have a condition record. The condition technique is used in SAP to

58

find a choice from among a number of alternatives.

355. What is the purpose of Material Determination in SAP SD?
A) Material Determination is a method in SAP SD to determine the which alternatives materials has to be used in
the sales order as substitute materials for concerns materials to which there is no stock available.
356. What is the purpose of Material Listing and Material Exclusion?
A) Material listing and exclusion is used in sales order to list the products or services for specific customers who
may or may not purchase them.
357. Explain briefly about the Availability Checks?
A) The availability check is an integral part of the business process. It determines if the desired delivery quantity
can be met on the desired delivery data. The availability check takes into account the respective activities that
must be carried out before a delivery can take place.
358. How Shipping Point is Determined?
A) Shipping Condition + Loading Group + Delivery Plant = Shipping Point Determination.
359. How Storage/Picking locations is Determine?
A) Shipping Point + Delivering Plant + Storage conditions = Storage Location.
360. Define Storage Conditions?
A) The Storage Condition is a two-character alphanumeric key that is used by the system to indicate the storage
conditions for a material. This field is used in combination with the plant and shipping point to determine the
storage location.
361. How Pricing Procedure is Determined?
A) Sales Area + Customer Pricing Procedure + Documents Pricing Procedure = Pricing Procedure.
362. Define the Route Determination?
A) Route Determination is automatically proposed for each sales document item in the sales order. It is a
process of where by one can assign a specific route with transportation legs using different shipment types and
carriers.
363. How Route is Determined?
A) Departure Zone (shipping point Country)
+
Shipping Conditions from Customer
+
Transportation Group
+
Destination Zone (Receiving Country/Zone) + Weight Group
364. Explain the Differences in Milestone Billing and Periodic Billing?
A) Milestone Billing: its is a final billing in full at a particular milestone. According to goods sold or services
rendered by the business to the customer. Ex. Would be the project milestone, such as when an architects blue
print is finished for which the services is invoiced. Milestone billing an amount distributed between dates until the
total value is billed.
A) Periodic Billings: Its uses a predefined date proposal that bills the customer at periodic intervals.
Ex. This would be billing for rental of an object. Periodic billing bills a total amount for each date until a
predefined end date is reached.
365. Define the Rebate Agreements?

period for dynamic check to day, week or month.
450. what happens if we check 'exclusive' indication in access sequence, and what happens if we do not
check?
A. It Controls whether the system stops searching for a record after the first successful access for a condition
type within an access sequence. If you dont check it , even it finds a record with the first search it checks the
with remaining access. It is better to use this indicator in view of fine tuning of the condition technique.
A. Exclusive indicator Controls whether the system stops searching for a record after the first successful access
for a condition type within an access sequence. If it is not flag then system carry out all the access and propose
all condition record in the item condition but active only last access.

458. when i creating a sales order for BOM configuration's product, the system showing net amount is
zero. what are the settings is necessary to get the net amount?
A.A BOM consists of two portions:
a) Header or Main Item level processing: In this case we consider pricing for the BOM as a whole in the main
item
level; the sub items feature as text items and so needs to be configured as price irrelevant
b) Sub-item level processing: The sub items are to considered for pricing and not the main item; accumulated
pricing will provide the net amount for the BOM
459. In an interview question i.e A customer has 2 materials one is third party mat(TAS),Second one is
normal mat(TAN)..These both items entered in one sales order and his requirement is he wanted in
single invoice with out splitting? How can we do this?
A. yes, if the header conditions of both the materials are same like delivery date, terms of payment, ship to party
etc we can create single invoice for both the products.
A. Also to add to the above answers.. If in the third party process the delivery is made by the third party u would
not
have the delivery for that particular material.. So you would create an invoice referring to the order rather than a
delivery.. so the order related billing type and delivery related billing type should also be the same in your
document
type customisation, if this is the scenario
460. What will you do in blue print stage?

466. In which phase you transfer data into SAP R/3?
A. Transfer of data into SAP is normally done by data migration or LSMW. When few data already exist in non
SAP components or legacy system and you require those data to be there in SAP R/3 you transfer those data
into SAP R/3.
For Eg: Say a company wants to move to SAP R/3 from their ERP software which they are currently using and
still they have few open SOs and if the company wants the remaining process of these open SOs in SAP R/3.
these sales orders are migrated into SAP R/3 system.
467. ENHANCEMENTS CARRIED OUT FOR NEW PRICING CONDITION TYPE TO LEVERANGE
SURCHARGE FOR MINIUM ORDER VALUE FOR THE METERIAL OR MONIUM ORDER VALUE OF THE
ORDER HOW CAN U SOLVE THIS?
A. You should define the minimum prices using the condition type PMIN. PMIN would be defined in the pricing
procedure and condition value formula '15' would be assigned in the Alt calc type column in the pricing procedure
against the pricing condition type. Using the formula, the system compares the minimum price with the net price
calculated to that point in the pricing procedure. If the minimum price is not met, the system computes the
necessary surcharge and assigns it to the PMIN condition line as per the calculation logic in the routine used. this
is used to
control min order value for the material.
468. In a sales order there are 10 line items and the customer wants to cancel 1 item? how u do that?
A. First check if the delivery is created for the specific Item, if it is then you cannot simply go ahead and delete

companies whereas sap all in one is for smaller firm cost effective one

486. Can you explain about actual GI (gods issue) date and planned GI date? Can actual GI date differ
from planned GI date?
A. I believe the actual GI date can differ from Planned GI date, See u plan to make a GI on one date and the
process gets delayed due to sudden deficiency of the material as some might be identified as defective at the
last minute., the organisation would like to have a watch on this thats why we give two different dates..

transfer automatically to VPRS if the condition type is available in the pricing

491. what are called CMM level 5 companies?

A. CMM - Capability Maturity Model The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) in software engineering
is a model of the maturity of the capability of certain business processes. A maturity model can be described as a

494. How can we process out bound delivery without shipping point?
A. In third party we r not at all doing delivery, vendor will directly deliver goods to the end customer
2.In rush order also shipping point is required here in this process system will automatically finds shipping point
by the shipping point det by the shipping conditions in vov8 of RO /BV here in sales order ur giving plant right
then system check possible shipping point as it is determine automatically by using a det check in t.code {ovl2}

A. even pricing is element of condition technique to do pricing we need to follow the elements of condition
technique they are condition tables, condition types, access sequence n then pricing.
A. I would like to know pricing SD Tickets? 2. Can we do pricing with out doing condition techniques?
A. First i will give an example of pricing sd ticket : Ex: I have two characteristics with same characteristics
values .how can i configure price for each characteristic value with 10 and i need different prices for both.
solution: The inclusion of t-code cu60 and cu61 for maintaining variant table .In cu61 you create a variant
table where u assign a pricing key to a combination of characteristic values .Then this pricing key is used in the
condition record to define price .In this solution you would not have to maintain object dependency for each
characteristic value as against your solutions .Object dependency is maintained against each configurable
material, No we can not do pricing without doing condition technique

500. Can you explain about actual GI (gods issue) date and planned GI date? Can actual GI date differ
from planned GI date?
A. I believe the actual GI date can differ from Planned GI date, See u plan to make a GI on one date and the
process gets delayed due to sudden deficiency of the material as some might be identified as defective at the
last minute, the organisation would like to have a watch on this thats why we give two different dates.
A. GI is mainly depended and linked to the schedule line category. When customer raises a order for
some x goods on some x date as an requested delivery date the system performs the availability check for the
ordered goods depending up on some important factors such as checking rule, checking group, requirement
type of the customer. After checking this whole process the system determines a date which can be different to

77

that of the actual delivery date and this date can be termed as the confirmed quantity date. So, my conclusion is
that the actual (confirm) date can differ to that of the planned(requested) date.
501. Can any body help me regarding the following error occurring at the time of creating delivery?
Copying is not posted. because an entry is missing in Table TVCPL: ZNWW ZRLF Copying is not posted.

A. Copy control required in between OR to LF doc type which u have created then also go for the item category
determination.
502. What is pricing procedure?
A. A pricing procedure is a procedure by where in which you control the execution of condition types in a
sequence you would like . It not only executes the condition types but also controls the execution of condition
type by the use of requirements, alternative condition value. Alternative condition base value, account key.

the dunning run .
3. This dunning procedure are maintained at client level .also we can set and maintain forms individually for
each company code .
4. u have to set up dunning levels.
5. A payment deadline should be specified which is copied to the dunning text.

505. An order item with different shipping point copied into the sales deliveries?
A. For a delivery document the following are always unique:
Shipping Point, Route & Ship to Party, Hence, if the order items don't have same Shipping Point
then you cannot combine them in one single delivery in other words delivery split will happen.
506. When I am saving customer master (internal number range), system generating number range like
5000211,500216and 500221 instead of giving 500211,500212 and 500213.why system generating like this?
A. This cant be happen like this if u have proper no range defined in t-code [xdn1) and again there is no
possibility that some r telling check in vov8 as it is only the iem increment /sub item increment for line item in
sales order used for sub items no in BOM and coming to no ranges only u have an action only whether it is
internal / external assignment only
507. What should be the value set for Lead Time in Sales Document Type while configuring the system?
A. Lead time are the no. of days that is used to default the requested delivery date field in a document type.
For eg: in cash sales or rush order the lead time maintained is zero, as the delivery has to be done immediately.
So requested delivery date normally becomes the current date. If you leave it blank, then the requested delivery
date has to be keyed in manually. so the requested delivery date is calculated by current date + lead time in days
mentioned in the doc type

78

A. As answered above that lead time in sales document type is meant for the required production time, the value
is set based on the client's specific. Its not all about defaulting requested delivery date in sales order.That has got
nothing to do with Requested delivery date.
508. What is business change and impact? it is a step in project realization stage ? if am wrong, please
correct ?
A. Business change is a modification or an alteration to one or more existing business processes/ systems.
The impact is the result of this change which accommodates dynamics of business environment.
509. what do u mean by accruals?
A. Amounts that are 'earned' or 'spent' in a period, but for which the cash transactions have not, or will not, take
place within that period. For example - Rebate Accruals, Freight Revenue, Sales Deductions, Bonus, Taxes.
A.as per the rebate agreement, customer will be credited for every transaction he does with the company. this
amount will be posted to his account.& company will issue the credit note for the customer on completion of
agreement date. if a customer wants to take out some amount from his rebated amount in the company, he can
take even though agreement date is not completed. at that time company issues credit memo for the customer
from his accumulated rebate amount. sap uses sales order type R4, billing type B4. for issuing credit memo, use
sales order type G2.
510. What are the delivery possibilities, When there is not enough stock available?
A. when there is not enough stock for delivery, we need to first check if customer accepts partial delivery for this
item, if yes, then we can deliver the part quantity. If customer does not accept partial quantity then backorder
processing occurs for a new material availability date.
511. What is the use of pricing date in condition type?
A. Pricing date is the date in which the condition records are accessed. For eg: lets say you have the price of the
material as 1000Rs till Mar 2008 as per the validity period of condition record and from April the same price of
the material is 2000Rs as per the validity period of the condition record. Now your pricing date in the Sales doc
determines as which price should be taken into account.
512. what is the RAID
A. RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disk) is a technology through which we can use the multiple hard
disk in a single system. in case one hard disk is crash then to another hard disk recover the data
513. What is the use of column CONDITION TYPE in Pricing procedure determination Like sales area +
customer pricing procedure + Document pricing procedure + Pricing procedure + CONDITION TYPE,
without maintain condition type system get pricing procedure in sales order then what is the use of this
column?
A. To be more clear the condition type entered along with the pricing procedure determination would become a
column in the line item of the sale order. so instead of going into the item data conditions screen and entering the
value , you can straight away enter it in the line item
514. Can anyone please explain GAP analysis with example ? I know theoretically the meaning of GAP
analysis. I would like to know some real time examples of GAP analysis. Please help?
A. Hi this is Anil Naidu during Business Blue print first we will prepare Question and a Data Base(qadb) . After
that some of our team members will take QADB and go to client place and they will get the information from the
client and send to the base station. In Base station they will check with the standards. If the company
requirements doesnt meet standards we wil call as gap analysis
515. Can you explain about Higher-level item category and item usage?
A. When a existing line item is referring to another line item, the item category of the refered line item is called as
Higher level item category. For eg: Free goods-- You give 1 tv free for 10 tvs 10 tvs in one line item is refered by
1 tv in another line item to say it is free for the 10 tvs. here the item category of 10 tvs is the higher level item
category. Also this is used in cases like Bill Of Material ( BOM)
Usage: This is another component which is used to determine the item category.
Usage can be-- FREE, TEXT, SERVICE etc etc.. for eg: In standard SAP when you type some thing in the
description of the line item and even though you enter no other detail it fetches the item category TATX

79

this is because it assumes the line item usage to be text. So DOC type + TEXT==> TATX
A. Higher Level Item Category reference's to Free Items, Bill of Materials and Service Items.
Eg: Item Category Determination of Free Goods (i.e. TANN)
Sales Document Type (OR)
+
Item Category Group (NORM)
+
Item Usage (FREE)
+
Higher Level Item Category (TAN)
__________________________________________
Item Category of Free Goods (TANN)
________________________________________
516. In one sales order there are two material can maintain two different pricing procedure for these
materials?

customisation. You can get some interesting tickets from IT-Toolbox.com
519. Is it possible to release change request, without releasing task?
A. No, it is not possible. We have to release the task first, then release the change request.
520. How do we configure configurable material and what are the important fields to be filled?
A. To create a configurable material u should take the material type as configurable material. and in the basic
data1 tab page u should mention that the material is relevant for configurable. u may chek this in basicdata2
tab page. there u find material is configurable.
A. To create a configurable material use T code MM01 , and enter Material type KMAT(configurable materiail),
Item category 0002.
A. Configuration points are:
1) Material type should be KMAT
2) Class type in material master classification view should be 300
3) Item category group in material master sales org 2 view should be "0002" or "0004"
4) MRP Type in material master MRP 1 view should be PD
5) Availability check in material master MRP 3 view should be 02 (Individual requirements)
6) Strategy group in material master MRP 3 view should be 25
7) Individual/coll in material master MRP 4 view should be 2 (collective requirements only)
521. How to maintain credit limit for materials?
A. As per my knowledge, SAP credit management is based on Payer. If you need to make the material as a limit
then we can make use of material allocation for attaining this.

80

A. Not on the basis of material but credit management can be controlled on the basis of item category. In define
item categories we have a credit active tick. So material with a particular item category can be made active or
inactive for credit check
523. what is the difference between centralized credit management and decentralized credit management
A. Credit control area is an organizational unit which is responsible for maintaining credit limits for the customers.
Company codes are assigned to CCA. If u have only one CCA maintained for more than one Company code i.e.
called centralized CCA, where as if u maintain individual CCAs to each company code that is called
decentralized CCA In decentralized CCA s, u assign one company code assigned to exactly one CCA.
524. If i want to configure the partner determinations for sales manager and general manager if the sales
manager is business partner in sales order he should only give 5% discount and general manager
should can give 10% discount how could i configure this?
A. This can be done by HR help of partner determination where he will configure say 2 sales employe 1 who give
5% discount and other 10% then he will go to field cat log and create table a of 2 sales employee who give
discount and create condition. then we will assign it with our partner determination of our sales order. then create
525. What does the movement type control?
A. Movement types control goods movement from one place to other place
526. how the customer required delivery date determined? or delivery date determined?
A. It is determined by the customisation u give in ur order type for eg: if proposed delivery date is ticked in ur
order type nad lead time is 7 days , then ur requested delivery date is current date + 7 working days.
A. Delivery Date is determined by Backward Scheduling. If the date determined so, we cannot accommodate the
lead time, transport arrangement time, etc. Forward scheduling takes place and new delivery date is determined
A. Delivery date:- the date on which customer receives goods. Requested delivery date:- the date on which
customer wishes to have his goods. Confirmed delivery date:- the date on which the arrival of goods can be
confirmed.
Now, for backward scheduling the customer requested delivery date is used to calculate the material availability
date and transportation lead time. the delivery must be created on the earliest of the two dates. If both dates are
after the order date and material is available on the material availability date, the customers requested delivery
date can be confirmed, If both dates are before the order date , confirmation of the requested delivery date can
not take place. Therefore, the system attempts to determine the next earliest possible delivery date through
forward scheduling.
527. what is client requirement in scheduling category?
A. The basic requirement of client is confirmation of delivery date which is scheduled thu mrp and item category
of the material that will be delivered to the customer.
528. What are the routines and how u have created?
A. Its a programmed written by Abapers to perform special task as assigned by functional people. For example In
SD Pricing procedure V/08, three routines are defined as Alternative Condition Base Value, Alternative
Calculation condition Type and Requirement.
529. Explain the difference between SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0?
A. I think there is not much difference between sap4.7&5.0 there is difference between screens and there are
Some differences you can find b/w 4.7 and 5.0 like stock view and some screens that have some more features
like sales order etc.
530. What is Exercise Invoice?
A. Excise invoice outgoing: A business document, in India, that you prepare when you issue excisable goods
from a manufacturing plant, for example: To be sold to a customer, To be transferred to another of your plants
The excise invoice lists the goods that you have issued and states how much excise duty applies. Your customer
uses the excise invoice to claim back the excise that it has paid from the excise authorities.

81

Excise invoice Incoming: A business document, in India, that your vendor sends you when it delivers excisable
goods. It lists the goods and states how much excise duty applies on them. Your use the excise invoice to claim
back the excise that you have paid from the excise authorities
The following are the t-codes and reports for excise invoice
J1IEX SAPLJ1IEX Incoming Excise Invoices
J1IIN SAPMJ1IIN Outgoing Excise Invoice
J1IA SAPMJ1IA Excise Invoice Details
J1IJ SAPMJ1IJ Excise invoice selection at depot sale
J1IK SAPMJ1IK Selection of Excise Invoice - Commo
J1IP J_1IPRNE Excise invoice print
J1IW SAPMJ1IW Excise Invoice without PO
J1IS SAPMJ1IS Excise invoice for other movements
This is the standard procedure that you follow to create an outgoing excise invoice. You create the excise invoice
from a reference document: either an invoice, a pro forma excise invoice, or a billing document.
Prerequisites: You have:
Customized the rounding-off indicator for sales transactions Specified which exchange rate type to use for export
invoices You make both of these settings in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods
Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Company Codes.
Procedure
From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Indirect Taxes Sales/Outbound Movements Excise Invoice
For Sales Order Outgoing Excise Invoice Create/Change/Display If you want to create the excise invoice
with reference to a pro forma excise invoice or commercial invoice, choose Excise Invoice Create.
If you want to create the excise invoice with reference to a delivery note, choose Exc. inv. for delivery Create.
Enter the number of the reference document. If you do not know the document number, you can search for
it by choosing Due list.
Choose: The excise invoice screen appears. The header data is displayed at the top; the line items, which the
system has copied from the reference document, are displayed at the bottom.
Enter header data as required.
To check if the utilization is done properly and the document is ready for posting, choose .
To enter texts for the excise invoice, choose .
To display the balances of the CENVAT accounts, choose Balances.
To display the utilization details, choose, Save the excise invoice.
As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of manufactured
goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report on fortnightly /
monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose, which record all
the transactions including movement of goods, cenvat credit available and cash balance available.
In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating, extracting and
printing excise invoice.
Excise Invoice is created based on Proforma Invoice or Invoice (based on configuration, it can also be Delivery).
The Process Flow will be as under: Process 1:
Sales Order (VA01 / VA02 / VA03) --> Delivery (VL10A / VL10C / VL01N / VL02N ? VL03N / VL04) --> PGI
(VL02N) --> Proforma Invoice (VF01 / VF02 / VF03) --> Excise Invoice (J1IIN)
Process 2: Sales Order (VA01 / VA02 / VA03) --> Delivery (VL10A / VL10C / VL01N / VL02N ? VL03N / VL04) -> PGI (VL02N) --> Invoice (VF01 / VF02 / VF03) --> Excise Invoice (J1IIN)

82

531. What is MRP types?

A. MRP is Material Requirement Planning which is based on Transfer of Requirements while processing the Sale
Order. MRP types based on Consumption based MRP etc.,
532. Please explain: Rebates? Contracts? Credit Management?
A. A Rebate is a special Discount which the party gets apart from the other discounts. A rebate will have certain
parameters like validity period and min, and maximum purchasing qty.
A contract is a kind of agreement between a seller and purchaser or between an organisation and customer.
Contract r few types like( In nutshell)
1. Quantity Contract
2. Value Contract
3. Service Contract
4. Master Contract.
Credit Management is kind of process to post the value for concerned in to the concerned GL Account. Ex. All
domestic Sales in to one GL Account and All Exports sales in One GL Account and All Cash sales in One GL
Account like...
533. How to information transfer
A. Through a transfer request .there are 2 types of requests
1. Workbench request.
2. Customisation request.
3. Transport of copies
4. Relocation

534. What are the Tax Calculation Procedure?

A) TAXINJ: is a Routine Formula based Tax Calculation Procedure
TAXINN: is a Condition based Tax Calculation Procedure
535. What is meant by Variant Configuration?
A. Variant configuration is used to configure variants for a material. for eg: bike can have different colors,
Different engines with different C.Cs. head lamp and automatic ignition. these are characteristics. the customer
can choose any of these characteristic each characteristics can have different pricing. suppose the customer
choose 100 c.c. engine and red colour and automatic ignition he must billed with these characteristics. we can
configure these with variant configuration.
A. if the material consist of different characteristic and class then we go for variant configuration.
The step to follow the variant configuration:
1. create characteristic - ct04.
2. create characteristic price ct04.
3. create configurable material- kmat- mm01
4. create component material- mm01
5. create a bom - cso1
6. create a configurable profile-cu41.
7.create varient condition vk11ie. va00.
8.place the va00 ccondition in the pricing procedure.
9. the item category is tac and schedule line is cp and ct for the sub items.
A. VARIANT CONFIGARATION is a tool that offers the flexibility of the configuration of the material during the
sales order processing by the end user according to the customer requirements. VC offers a unique feature by
which requirement of creating separate material for each variant of product is eliminated by using configurable
material, that contains all the components and operations for production planning requirements.
536. Where we define the customer rebates?
A. Activate rebate in the following: 1 ) CMR in billing TAB of sales area data
2 ) In Sales organization and in
3 ) In Billing doc type

83

A. .In xd02 we will put a tick mark in the check box of rebates field in sales area data screen and apart from that
we should check in our pricing procedure condition type b002 is there or not.
537. Is it possible to carryout two different pricing procedures at sales order level and Billing level. If
Yes, please Explain in detailed?
A. It is possible to carry out two different pricing procedures at sales order level and billing document level.
The pricing procedure is determined in a document on the basis of the following parameters:
1) Sales Area (Sales Organisation + Distribution Channel +Division)
2) Customer Pricing Procedure (Defined in the Customer Master)
3) Document Pricing Procedure (Defined in Document Type Customisation)
For a sales order and a billing document which corresponds to the same sales order, the document pricing
procedure can be different and hence different pricing procedures can be determined.
Also, in the copy control from sales order type to billing document type, the price type for item category should be
set to "B" i.e. carry out new pricing.
538. what is line item?
A. When ever you are creating any sales documents then the items appear in the line with the item numbers are
known as line items. A line item determines the item category of the item which in turn controls some
functionalities of the document processing.
539. What is the Function of item category group?
A. item category group is divided as per the material type, it control the material field status and used in item
category determination.
A. The item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. It defines, for example,
that pricing does not take place for a free of charge item, such as a business gift; or that inventory management
is not carried out for a service. When processing sales and distribution documents, the system uses the item
category group to determine the item category. The system determines the item category based on the item
category group of the material and the current business transaction, and proposes it in the respective document.
When creating the material types non-stock material and services, DIEN is proposed in both cases for the item
category group, because the order processing for both material types is identical: for example, pricing is carried
out for both, but no availability check.
540. What setting we have to done to apply condition type SKTV (cash discount before Tax)and SKTO (
cash Discount after tax)in a single sales order and what is the difference in condition type HD00 and
KF00?
A. KF00 condition type is freight charges that applies to a particular item where as HD00 is header freight that
applies to whole document and u should enter HD00 manually at the header level
541. Where do you assign Movement Type?
A. Movement Type is assigned at schedule line. As is is related to transfer, 601- Standard Movement Type
542. What is BADI? explain in detail.
A. BADIs stands for business addings. and it is for enhancements in the application area. main use of it is
reusability. BADIs are oops based. BADIs can be used any number of times in a project.
543. WHAT IS THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN CUSTOMIZATION AND CONFIGURATION WITH EXAMPLES
A. In customisation you customize with the existing set up. For eg: extend the existing sales office to other Sales
org as well In configuration you create a unit itself For eg: Create a new sales org. In short customisation is part
of configuration.
A. by the process we follow, we create a configuration document only if in case there was a new additional unit
created. In case if there is only assignment or changes with the existing data we create only Scoping document
and not Configuration document A CONFIGURATION: we will configure the system to meet the needs of your
business by using the existing data.

84

CUSTOMIZING: we will customize or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of
mapping SAP to your business process.
Configuration vs. Customization:
When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between
configuration and customization. The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent
flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names, modify drop-down lists, or add buttons.
Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization on the other hand, involves code
changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can
complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to the new
version. Wherever possible, companies should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their goals.
Companies also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like
"modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.
544. Can i know what type of reports so be generated by ABAP consultant for SD guys can i get some
scenarios and which tables are regularly used by SD consultants for making reports?
A. There are many reports used by SD consultants and functional consultants. Some examples could be
shipping summary by plant report, it could be a report showing the delivery due list, it could be a report which
shows the tracking numbers or BOL numbers for a particular delivery. Some of the tables regularly used by SD
consultants are VBAK, VBAP, VBUP, VBUK, LIKP, LIPS, VEKP, VEPO etc.
545. Without delivery can you do billing?
A. Yes, it is possible to do. Even in normal process we can avoid delivery process and go for billing for that We
will need to check the copy controls from sales document to billing document then it is possible.(if it were one of
the customers requirement) It is part one of our business process for example services, we charge for the
service rendered where in we don't have delivery for services we do billing directly. OR --> Billing
A. yes we can do billing without delivering the material. For services like labor charges, we will be doing it.
Because the material will be customer's.for that we can't create a material code so we need to bill directly from
Sale order.
546. What is sales order Item category Determination n What is delivery Item Category determination?
A. Item category is the key important field in sd cycle as it pushes the materil to the sales order
by using the item categories determination: document type + item category group + usage + higher level item
categories determines any item category (sales order or delivery transactions) check transaction code {vov4 }
.......item category determines for sales order.........determines for deliveries
547. Explain Free of Cost Samples(FOC)and explain step by step?
A. i want to explain you clearly first what i sample and free cost then you can get the solution by yourself.
free good - there are two types in this inclusive and exclusive. Ex: Inclusive means - buy 2 and get 1 free. but
total items are 3, but we will bill the customer for 2 items and 1 is free and
Ex: Exclusive Means- buy 2 get a 1 different product separately for free sample: the main difference here the
pricing doesnt takes place...
548. In incompletion Procedure there is Status Group what is use in case of Pricing. In status group Price
also one field what is use and how it affect sales document. from where it collect data
A. Status groups are assigned to specific fields in the incompletion log .So it is possible to specify in sales
document like :
A : It may be complete but not prevent the document processing further .
B : It may be incomplete and the case of sales documents being blocked for further processing .
Use of status group for pricing: Setting this status in the status group and assigning the status group to a field
in the incompletion procedure which cause the sales document to be incomplete for further processing should
pricing not have been carried out

85

549. What is rebate and whats the procedure to do this?

A. Rebate is one type of special discount that is given to the customer over a specific period of time. The rebate
discount is based on sales volume and is paid retroactively to the customer over a specific period of time.
550. What is Integration between SD and MM : SD and FICO ? Can any body give me this is ?
A. Link Between SAP SD, MM & FI - The link between SD and MM :1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination
takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material
Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales
order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM. - Now the link between SD and FI :1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the
background. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L
account in FI. Every such movement of goods hits some G/L account.
2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc)
created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI
3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM
SD Integration points with other modules- SD module is highly integrated with the other modules in SAP.

A. SD and FI : - In Business We wud want to post the revenues or the discounts offered, taxes collected, Freight
charges to a particular GL account for accounting purposes. Lets say i want to account for all the revenues I
generated for finished goods. I would use this Finished goods as the Material Accounting assignment group and
assign that in the Sales org 2 view just above the Item cat group. Then with Accounting determination process
I would link the Account Key ERL (In Pricing proc) + Finished Goods (Material Accounting Assignment group)
- TO A GL ACCOUNT. Thats SD-FI integration.
SD and MM:- In Pricing we would want to determine the cost of the product through VPRS Condition Type. This
cost of the material is picked from the Material Master. How this happens is , if we would want to determine this
cost VPRS in the Sales Order for Profitability purpose then , all those Item categories that can appear in a sales
order must be activated for determine Cost Check box in customizing. Thats one of the SD MM Integration.
551. Bill of material means-BOM?
A. Bills of material means combining a group of materials in to one product. for e.g. computer is a product it is
the combination of CPU, key board, mouse and monitor. there are two types in the BOM itself. one is main item
level processing and sub item level processing. in the main item level processing main item price will be taken
and in sub-item level processing sub-items price will be taken into the process.
A. Bill of material means (BOM): 1. Parts used in Assy.
2. Quantity & Unit of Measurement of the parts.
3. Price Comparison of a part, from Variable Suppliers/Mfr's
4. The terms & Conditions of the Suppliers/Mfr's.
5. To Know the Revision & Estimated Annual Usage(EAU).

552. What is CIN & configuration of it ?
A. CIN is Country India Version. It is an add on to take care of India related excise functionality by SAP. Could
you pls explain what do you need to know about configuration of CIN.
A.CIN is expanded as country India, its ERP by sap which is suitable for small and medium scale implementation
553. What is the use full for CIN? how can you differentiate with CIN and tax procedure? what is the
difference between sap r/3 and sap all in one?
A. CIN - Country india releated to taxation of country , we have excise duty, sales tax etc ,
Tax procedure - it is FI consultant will dealt with that, Tax procedure are two one is TAXINN and TAXINJ.
TAXINN is condition based whereas TAXINJ is formula based both this will have similar condition like Excise
duty sales tax etc once one procedure is assigned then it should be changed ,system will accept Sap R/3 is for
larger companies whereas sap all in one is for smaller firm cost effective one.
553. What will you do in blue print stage?
A. Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client. it represents the
business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its
business within SAP system.
A. Business blue print is the conversion of the legacy system data into sap compliant - i.e. what ever the
companies processes are there are converted and put into SAP Compliant configuration documentation so as to
enable us to carryout the realization according to the blueprint prepared in a methodical way which saves time in
realization

87

554. What is difference between SD account key and FI account key?

A. To the maximum both are one and same to find the right G/L account through condition techniques Account
key will be from Pricing procedure and the FI Account key is from the tax procedure. as far as my knowledge is
concerned both the key's purpose is same .
A. Acct keys are defined in FI only, SD people only use them, say in pricing. But ultimately they are used for
posting the amounts to relevant GL accounts only
555. What are the deliverables in your blue print?
A. Every phase of implementation has own deliverables.
Phase 1 - Project preparation:- 1.Charter committee.
2. Project planning
Phase 2 - blue print:- 1. Mapped organisation structure
2. Gap analysis
Phase 3. Realization:- 1. Integration Testing.
2. Customisation and configuration
Phase 4 Final preparation:- 1. Cut over Data
Phase 5. Go live & support:-1. support
556. what are the user exits? how can we create user exits? Whats the purpose of creating user exits?
A. IF your requirement is not met with standard sap u can add extra functionality by using Exits to full fill tht gap
by using an include in the program these all can be done in T.code : SMOD to find exit for including in the
program use T.code: SMOD, As functional guy ur part is find accurate Exit and tell to technical guy and finally it
has to be debugged then functional & technical will both come to one conclusion whether this exit is filling the
requirement r not. we have different exits:- 1. screen exit
2. field exit , function exit
557. WHICH DATA IS RELEVANT FOR CREDITING CREDIT AND DEBIT MEMOS?
A. For credit memo :
SD document category (K)
Document pricing procedure (A)
Order related billing document (G8)
Billing block (08)=check credit
For Debit memo :
SD document category (l)
Order related billing document (9)
Billing block (09)=check debit
558. What is Backorder processing?
A. whenever we create a sales order for a particular material. It will give 2 delivery dates if is doesnt have the
stock. If we get the material before the first delivery date. We will do revert back the order ( co06) and allot the
ordered material at same requested delivery date, now this order has one schedule line only
559. In order to make up a sales area which organizational elements will help?
A. A Sales Area is compiled of the said data: Sales Organization, Distribution Channel and Division
560. What exactly mean by Condition Index and why we have this is field in the definition of Condition
Type?
A. Condition index is used to search for condition records that were created for variety of condition types and
condition tables. for ex- if you want to view all condition records that apply to a particular customer. or product.
However, before using it, it must be activated in customizing for sales.

88

561. What is the use of Material type in regard to SD?

A. The material type, will be used while defining the material master. At that time in Tcode:MM01,first screen we
need to mention,ex:-engineering product, finished products, semi-finished product etc., Tcode for defining
material type is OMS2 OR OMSY OR MMPV. By defining this, the system gives related fields, while
defining the MATERIAL MASTER.
562. In Third Party transaction, do we take the material into stocks when the Vendor has shipped the
material to our warehouse? (please let me know the A. from SD perspective)?
A. If the vendor shipped the material to our warehouse then the company has to deliver the material to the
customer. Then it will become Individual purchase order.
563. Will it be possible to create the sales order without item category and schedule line, How?
A. we can not create a sales order without item category. but you can create without schedule line category.
EX Credit Memos and Debit memos.
A. U can, but the item category changes from TAN to TEXT. Also the schedule line category can't be determined
for this item
564. how to release only one line item from a sales order which is blocked by credit check
A. Releasing only one line item from a Sales Order which is blocked by Credit check is not possible, as credit
check is placed based on the credit limit on a customer account, and the credit check can be released on the
sales order but not on single line item.
565. We can use customizing to control which business transactions should be blocked if the credit limit
is exceeded? Which are they?
A. A Business Transaction can be blocked at 3 levels depending uponn the "Risk Category "of that particular
Customer basing on the Risk Category the transaction can be blocked at
1. Sales order level
2. Delivery Level, 3.Post goods issue.
if the risk category is high the transaction can be blocked at 'Sales Order".
if the risk category is medium can block "Delivery"
if the risk is low can block "Post Goods Issue"
566. Credit control Area means? What is the relationship exists between credit control areas and
company codes?
A. A Credit Control Area is an organizational unit that is comprised of one or more company codes. A company
code can have no more than one credit control area.
A. outstanding recievables can spoil the business process. to control credit limits in sap system we can configure
credit control area. one company code can hav one credit control area only but one credit control area can hav
many company codes i.e. u can assign one credit control area to many company codes.the relationship is one to
many
567. What is the difference between Static and Dynamic Credit Check?
A. Static check will carry out the open sales orders + open deliveries + open billing + open items,
- where as dynamic chek will carry out Static check+ partially completed sales orders and
Dynamic check = static check + time horizon
568. What is DEBUGING.
A. Debugging ia a Abap tool to see and analyses the execution of each statement in the Program sentence by
sentence. Debugging is used when the particular transaction is showing error with ABAP related problem that
means If the standard program is not properly executing when you are giving inputs in any fields for the particular
transaction then system shows error message and system terminates the transaction also according to the
program inbuilt by the standard sap.

89

In this scenario Abaper will analyses the program to find out the route cause statement by statement written in
the program. during debugging curser will recognize the statements only after 'start of selection' in the program.
go to debugging mode, place /h in any particular transaction on the command field and enter then system
shows the message that debugging mode switched on status bar. then go to program threw go to- systemprogram - place the curser on the statement below start of selection.
this is how we can analyses about the program statement by statement but this is done by abapers, any how as
a functional consultant we should know about this process.
569. Can we sell the same material from two different divisions?
A. A product can sold from different division but u have configure in IMG for common distribution channels and
common division. to do this u have create all material master data in one sales area and then go for common
division
A. A Division in the material master is part of basic data for which you can not maintain multiple values. One
material uniquely belong to only one division. So question does not arise of selling same material from two
different divisions. Suppose you have two divisions in your organisation say "motorcycle" & "food supplement". A
material which belong to motorcycle division can not belong to food div in any case.
570. what is header conditions?
A. Header conditions applies to all the condition types in the sales order. the header conditions can be goven at
header level in the sales order

used. it has be entered at header level in the sales document. the condition amount of a header condition by
default applies as it is to all the items in the document
ex ; RB00 condition type.
ex : in a sales order there are 3 materials:- m -10, m-20, m-30.
now go to conditions tab page of m-10 and mention as RB00 - 5rs. now this discount amount 5rs will applies for
all the 3 items.
571. Product attributes means?
A. product attribute-- it is applicable in configurable material. Configuration - combination of characteristic +
attribute MM data- sales :sales org-2, if you want to see in your sales doc then you have to activate in your doc
type overview TRANSCTION FLOW data- produt attribute message that means during sales order you have so
many option for product or materials.
572. What is difference between the header level condition and item level condition?
A. Header level conditions are for the whole document, while item level condition is for the particular item only.
A. yes, header conditions applicable for the whole document and item conditions are for the items.
whether a condition shud be a header or item or for both(KO29) etc. should be given in condition type defining
v/06.
573. Is it possible to block a material for sales order so that it should not give any yellow exclamationwarning message....in other way it should give an error message so that we can not proceed further?
Also..is it possible for the bloking customers in the same way...if so ..how?
A. Yes, u have to go to the MM02 & there go to sales Org 1 tab page there u maintain cross distribution chain
after that this material is block for sales. if block a material for plant then u should maintain in MM02 basic data 1
Cross distribution plant & also if u block a material for procurement then u should maintain in cross distribution
purchasing data.
A. Go to SPRO -logistics general-material master-settings 4 key fields-data rel for sd-define sales status-here
select the status go to details.. block for order make it a Iog execution it will become error instead of warning..

3. Condition Type
4. DESCRIPTION
5. FROM
6. TO
7. Manual
8. Mandatory
9. Statistics
10. PRINT
11. REQUIREMENT
12. Alternative Calculation Type
13. Alternative Base Condition Type
14. ACKEYS
15. ACCRUALS
Brief Explanation:
A. STEP :- This indicates the number of step-in the procedure.
B. COUNTER:- This is used to show a second ministep
C. CONDITION TYPE : This is the most important component in the pricing procedure. The rates are picked up
from this element, on the basis of the properties described.
D. DESCRIPTION:-This forms the description of the condition type.
E. FROM: - This is used to define the progression of the calculation and range of subtotals
F. TO: This is used to define the progression of the calculation and range of subtotals
G. MANUAL:-This function enables to allow the condition type to be entered manually also apart from automatic
Pickup
H. MANDATORY: - This function identifies the conditions that are mandatory in the pricing procedure. The sales
Price is a mandatory condition type.
I. STATISTICS: - This can be used to represent the cost price of the material sold, generally used for study
statistical impacts of price
J. PRINT: - The activation of this function will enable the printing of the values and conditions to the document.
K.SUBTOTAL:- A key is assigned from the drop down menu; this can be used by the system in other area like
Sis for reporting purpose also
L. REQUIRMENT KEY: This function is used to assign a requirement to the condition type. This requirement can
be used to exclude the system from accessing the condition type and trying to determine the value. This can
be used to specify that the condition type should only be accessed if the customer has a low risk credit.
M. ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE:- This function allows you use a formula as an alternative in
finding the value of the condition type, instead of standard condition technique. this can be used to calculate
complex tax structures.
N. ALTERNATE CONDITION BASE VALUE:- The alternative condition base value is a formula assigned
to a condition type in order to promote an alternative base value for the calculation of a value.
O. ACCOUNTS KEY : The account keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define
the posting of the revenue generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL
accounts. PR00- ERL, K007/KA00- ERS, KF00- ERF.& so On.
P. ACCRUAL KEY:- The accrual keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define
the posting of the revenue generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL accounts
and payment to respective parties.
575. What is the functionality of Status Profile?
A. Status Profile: I Will explain with one example, As per business requirement any approvals required for a
sales order before creating a delivery then we will define the settings in the back ground(SPRO)
i.e first Define status profile and assign this to sales document.(or) next define authorization keys i.e how many
approvals and whose approval is required like branch manger then make the settings like where to stop like
before delivery r billing etc in SPRO and assign this to roles and authorizations these things you can observe in
sales order header status
576. If you generate bill more than credit limit then what will happen?
A. How can you go for billing. system will block at order levelor delivery level only?

conditions which have to be met if copying has to take place
Data Transfer Routines-- Its an program which says which field are to copied from the source documet to which
fields in the target document
Switches-- additional process that u wish to perform along with copying the data
.
A. WE can use copy control to define the requirements and options when transferring the data from reference
document to its subsequent document .Copy control in the other words we can say as copy the data from source
document to target document .
FOR sales document-copy control options are sales document to sales document and copy control -billing
document to sales document. The copy control rules set up to enable a sales document type to be copied into
another sales document type such as quotation to sales order and sales order to sales order.
585. What is difference between delivery document & scheduling?
A. A delivery document is similar to the sales order document in that the settings control how a delivery is to be
carried out at the highest level and has a delivery item category assigned to it. The SAP System can only copy
items of a sales document to a delivery if they have schedule lines. The control of the schedule lines depends on
the schedule line category which is determined by the Item Category and MRP type
586. Is it possible to have different pricing procedure for SO and invoice?
A. Yes it is possible to have a Pricing Procedure in Billing different from that of SO. Since the Pricing Procedure
determination takes place at invoice level also. Generally, the Sales area & CPP (Customer pricing Proc)
indicator won't change, however the DPP (document Pricing Procedure) can be different for the billing type than
that of sales order type. hence a different Pricing proc can be determined.However, in practice, people may not
be doing this.
587. How can i explain RICEF with example in interview?
A. R for Reports
I for Interfaces,
C for Conversions,
E for Enhancements,
F for Forms. IN addition to these W is also included now a days which is Workflows.

A. Movement type controls the physical/logical movement of materials leading to change in the stock levels in
inventory
A. All the inward and outward movement of material is controlled by movement type for example for out bound
delivery we r using 601 movement type. Also it has an effect on inventory control of stock .
589. What is the process flow in Logistics execution?
A. The logistic execution starts from truck indenting during the process before PGI (in SD) and the arrival of the
truck actual batches are selected and are put in the truck. depending upon the PGI Quantity no. of trucks are
indented through transport master. after this all statuary documents like excise challan, invoice /ARE1/ARE3 are
captured in the system and a service entry sheet is filled and then the indent is saved after the truck leaves the
premises. this is a standard SAP Procedure which is very wek in design and therefore very few companies go
with it and other are totally developed as per the clients requirement

93

A. In Simple terms Logistics Execution is an interface between Goods Receipt and Goods Issue. All the
intermediate (like PO>>Inbound Delivery>>PGR & SO>>Outbound Delivery>>PGI) processes between PGR &
PGI are carried out using Logistics Execution.
590. What is retro active billing? who is will create this?
A. Retro active billing belongs to rebate process. It takes into account the billing documents that were created
previously ( i.e. before the rebate agreement done)& also billing documents which were created during the rebate

care about CIN related changes at the time of roll out...
595. What is batch split?
A. If a material is managed in batches then you can carry out a batch split for every component. this means that
if you split a batch ,you asssign more than one batch to one component. In this case, each batch is displayed as
a separate component in the component overview. Batch splits can only be triggered manually in the production
order. The following requirements must be met for batch splitting:
(1)The material master record of the material must specify that the material is managed in batches.
(2)Batches must exist for the material.
596. Explain how division is interrelated with material? give suitable points to prove its similarity and
distinguish in nature?
A. Material is always division related. one material cannot be assigned to more than one division.

D - No limit to subsequent delivery
Blank - Partial delivery allowed.
Choose one of them according to your requirement, remember you can do maximum 9 partial deliveries in a
sales order.
A part from that you have to configure delivery split profile in SAP Menu - Logistics--> Logistic execution-->
Outbound process--> Goods issue for outbound delivery---> Loading--> outbound delivery split - follow this path
you can open Split profile template, in that choose, Shipping pt and maintain split parameters, split profile like
DS01- Standard delivery split. so that you can do delivery split according to sales order along with handling units.
I hope, this would solve issue

delivery. One sales order with different plants per line could be shipping except the lines that contain
this plant X?
A. Yes, I'll check this 2 alternatives. One question I found the field MARC-MMSTA in the Purchasing view as well
so I tested this "Plant-sp.matl status" and I created a new material status but I couldn't find a combination that
really block the deliveries (Tcode: OMS4)I used the Inventory Management option with B status, which I found
block all the Good Receipts and Transfer Movements for this special material /plant but still allow me process the
deliveries from the SO. Do you think that I should use another combination in the Material status configuration
OMS4 to really get an effective delivery block !
632. What is LIS ?
A. LIS stands for Logistics Information System. In SAP, the logistics information system is a combination of the
following systems.
- Sales Information System

and monitor business events in the logistics cycle to make effective decisions. Data coming in from various sub

98

modules in SAP can be clubbed and analyzed using the logistics information system. LIS thus acts as a flexible
tool to aggregate and cull out important data. Key figures can be defined in LIS to keep track of important
logistics parameters. Users can analyze data in various ways. LIS even allows users to customize the reports as
per individual reporting requirements making it a flexible reporting and analytical tool.
633. Credit control area means? What is the relationship exists between credit control areas and
company codes?
A. A Credit Control Area is an organizational unit that is comprised of one or more company codes. A company
code can have no more than one credit control area.
A. outstanding receivables can spoil the business process. to control credit limits in sap system we can configure
credit control area. one company code can hav one credit control area only but one credit control area can have
many company codes. i.e. u can assign one credit control area to many company codes. the relationship is one
to many
634. When is material determination triggered?
A Material determination will be triggered thru condition technique.
Step-1: Fields/Tables maintenance
Step-2: Access sequence - tables inserted
Step03: Condition type / access sequence
Step-4 : Material deter procedure / assign to sales document type
Step-5 : define substitution reasons --> we can define whether the substitute material can be displayed as a
selection and we can define whether the material can be replaced or can be added as a line item.
Step-6 : Condition records --> specific to sales area/material. Enter substitute material and the substitute
reason. Result: Material will be replaced/adds another line item with desired material in the sales order screen.
635. What is Integration between SD and MM : SD and FICO ? Can any body give me this is ?
A SD and FI. :- In Business We would want to post the revenues or the discounts offered, taxes collected,
Freight charges to a particular GL account for accounting purposes. Lets say i want to account for all the
revenues i generated for finished goods. I would use this Finished goods as the Material Account assignment
group and assign that in the Sales org 2 view just above the Item cat group. Then with Account determination
process i would link the Account Key ERL (In Pricing proc) + Finished Goods (Material Account Assignment
group) ---- TO A GL ACCOUNT. This SD-FI integration.
SD MM.
In Pricing we would want to determine the cost of the product thru VPRS Condition Type. This cost of the
material is picked from the Material Master. How this happens is , if we would want to determine this cost VPRS
in the Sales Order for Profitability purpose then , all those Item categories that can appear in a sales order must
be activated for Determine Cost Check box in customizing. This one of the SD MM Integration.
636. Is it possible to create new sales order types?
A. Yes its possible to create a new sales order type but generally it is advised to copy standard one and proceed
as it is connected in so many places

suppose to deliver ordering quantity of proposed goods, after outbound delivery the shipping, billing process has
been started. But In bound delivery creates for an existing returns, T-code for creating a delivery is "VL01".
After the order, we need to check the availability of ordering quantity, confirm the availability, pick the proposed
quantity & pack those, Load those quantities. After delivery stock will reduces from the store. Till this is called
goods issue. For outbound delivery we need to do PGI & for in bound it is PGR (Post goods receipt)
The shipment is the freight being transported, which includes the hazardous material contents and the
containment system (box, tank truck, fitting, valves, lids, labels etc.) described in the shipping documents
For post goods issue the shipment procedure must be completed. Goods Issue is the process to check the
availability & confirm up to packing. And shipment is the process / arrangement to lift those goods to the partners
place by confirming the shipping point & mode of transportation.
Proof of delivery is a method to establish the fact that the ecipient received the contents sent by the sender. Or A
receipt showing date and place of delivery to consignee, and the signature of the person receiving the shipment.
Direct Selling is the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location.
These products and services are marketed to customers by independent salespeople. Depending on the
company, the salespeople may be called distributors, representatives, consultants or various other titles.

customers. A distribution channel usually consists of a chain of intermediaries, including wholesalers, retailers,
and distributors, that is designed to transport goods from the point of production to the point of consumption in
the most efficient way.
While assigning the company to sales area if we want direct sale then no need of the distribution channel to
assign in the sales area, If we need it then we can assign.

A) Minimum Value Surcharge (condition type AMIZ) comes into picture when you have to maintain Minimum
Order Value (condition type AMIW). I'll try explaining this with an example.
Lets assume that you have maintained a Minimum Order Value of 100 Rs in the condition record
(i.e. AMIW=100Rs). Now, you receive the PO with order value 60 Rs(Net Value of the order is 60 Rs), then the
system will automatically copy the minimum order value (i.e. 100 Rs) as the net value of the Order. The
difference amount is 40 Rs and this is known as Minimum Value Surcharge (i.e. AMIZ= 40Rs). This is a
statistical Condition and used for internal purpose only.
