SD (Sales and Distribution)
10 sections · 100 quiz questions
SD (Sales and Distribution) covers the selling process from first enquiry through to invoicing. Three milestones structure it — the sales order, the delivery and the billing document — each recorded as a document and linked to the next like a chain.
The first thing to grasp is that SD documents are created with reference to the document before them. A delivery references a sales order; an invoice references a delivery. Because of that reference, you can trace an invoice back to the order it came from in a single view, the document flow.
The second is that SD is wired directly into inventory and accounting. Issuing goods reduces stock and moves MM; billing creates a receivable and moves FI. SD never stands alone. These ten sections start with organisational structure and master data, work through order to cash, then cover pricing, credit, returns and the monthly close.
