Difference between Delivery, Sales order and Shipment

Hi
I would like to know difference between sales document, delivery document and shipment.
When is the delivery created? What data will it have?

Hi
Sales Documents 
Sales-related business transactions are recorded in the system as sales documents. These are grouped into four categories:
Pre-sales documents: inquiries and quotations
Sales orders
Outline agreements, such as contracts and scheduling agreements
Customer problems and complaints, leading to free-of-charge deliveries and credit memo requests
If your particular business processes require it, you can process deliveries and billing documents directly from a sales document. In addition, some sales documents, such as cash sales and rush orders automatically trigger the creation of subsequent delivery and billing documents.
Basic Functions Within Sales Order Processing
During sales order processing, the system carries out basic functions, such as:
Monitoring sales transactions
Checking for availability
Transferring requirements to materials planning (MRP)
Delivery scheduling
Calculating pricing and taxes
Checking credit limits
Creating printed or electronically transmitted documents (confirmations and so on)
Delivery Processing
In its role as central object of the goods issue process, the outbound delivery supports all shipping activities including picking, packing, transportation and goods issue. During the outbound delivery process, shipping-planning information is recorded, status of shipping activities is monitored and data accumulated during shipping processing is documented. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.
Range of Functions
An outbound delivery can be created as follows:
With reference to a sales order
With reference to a stock transport order
With reference to a subcontract order
Shipping 
Shipping is an important part of the logistics chain in which guaranteed customer service and distribution planning support play major roles.
In shipping processing, all delivery procedure decisions can be made at the start of the process by
Taking into account general business agreements with your customer
Recording special material requests
Defining shipping conditions in the sales order
The result is an efficient and largely automatic shipping process in which manual changes are only necessary under certain circumstances.
Integration
The Shipping component is integrated under the Logistics Execution component. Shipping is a subsequent activity of the Sales component.
Range of Functions
The shipping module supports the following functions, which include but are not limited to:
Deadline monitoring for reference documents due for shipment (sales orders and purchase orders, for instance)
Creating and processing outbound deliveries
Planning and monitoring of worklists for shipping activities
Monitoring material availability and processing outstanding orders
Monitoring the warehouse's capacity situation
Picking (with optional link to the Warehouse Management system)
Packing deliveries
Information support for transportation planning
Support of foreign trade requirements
Printing and transmitting shipping documents
Processing goods issue
Controlling using overviews of
 o Deliveries currently in process
 o Activities that still are to be carried out
 o Possible bottlenecks

How to make the connection between a sale order and an invoice in SDK

Hi,
Im trying to make the connection between a sales order and an invoice using the SDK.
Here is how i create each of them:
Invoice:
public int SalesInvoiceInternalSave(string buisnesspartnerCardCode, DateTime dueDate, double discountPercent, string id, IList<InternalItem> items, ref int invoiceId)
 int res = 0;
 SAPbobsCOM.Documents invoice_entry = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents)Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices);
 invoice_entry.CardCode = buisnesspartnerCardCode;
 invoice_entry.DocDueDate = dueDate;
 invoice_entry.DiscountPercent = discountPercent;
 invoice_entry.Reference2 = id;
 foreach (InternalItem item in items)
 invoice_entry.Lines.WarehouseCode = item.Shopid;
 invoice_entry.Lines.ItemCode = item.Code;
 invoice_entry.Lines.ItemDescription = item.Name;
 invoice_entry.Lines.Quantity = item.Quantity;
 invoice_entry.Lines.UnitPrice = item.Price;
 invoice_entry.Lines.Add();
 res = invoice_entry.Add();
 return res;
Sales order:
 public Boolean SalesOrderInternalSave(string orderId, string buisnesspartnerCardCode, DateTime dueDate, IList<InternalItem> items)
 SAPbobsCOM.Documents order_entry = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents)Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders);
 order_entry.CardCode = buisnesspartnerCardCode;
 order_entry.DocDueDate = dueDate;
 foreach (InternalItem item in items)
 order_entry.Lines.WarehouseCode = item.Shopid;
 order_entry.Lines.ItemCode = item.Code;
 order_entry.Lines.ItemDescription = item.Name;
 order_entry.Lines.Quantity = item.Quantity;
 order_entry.Lines.UnitPrice = item.Price;
 order_entry.Lines.Add();
 int res = order_entry.Add();
 return res == 0;
What do i need to change to get the connection between the two of them?
And how do you insert a amount (not percent) discount into an invoice?
Regards,
Torben

Hi,
Add the sale order, then add the invoice. and while adding the invoice please add the following details to the invoce documen
invoice_entry.Lines.BaseEntry = 'Doc entry of the newly created SO
invoice_entry.Lines.BaseLine = 'Line No of the SO
invoice_entry.Lines.BaseType = 17 'For sales order document type.
Hope it helps,

Difference between snp planned order and pp/ds planned order

Hi to all,
can any one please explain the difference between snp planned order and pp/ds planned order. I am relatively new to this area

The primary differences are as below.
1. The master data for SNP Planned Order is SNP PPM/PDS where the minimum duration for an operation is a day. So it is used for rough cut capacity planning.
The master data for PPDS Planned Order is a PPDS PPM/PDS where operations are down to minute and second level. Moreover sequence dependent operation planning is possible in PPDS Planned Orders. It is for detailed capacity planning.
2. SNP Planned Orders are created in SNP while PPDS Planned Orders are created in PPDS or when transferred from ERP to APO.
3. SNP Planned Order need to be converted to a PPDS Planned Order before it can be used in the Execution System (ERP) for further processing - like conversion to Production Order. Moreover the category types of the orders are different in APO (EE for SNP and AI for PPDS).
Hope this helps.

Difference amount in sales order and billing document (For one line item)

Hi Experts,
User created sales order with 3 line items and billing document. but problem is that there is difference in value of sale order and billing only for line item 10. The remaining items values are same in sales order & billing doc.if I check in sales order condition I found that VPRS condition is used and the value is 692.13and the amount is 3245.26in sales order. But if suppose I check the same value in billing doc the value is 0.69 and the amount is 3245.28. Can u suggest me which configuration I have to check for this.
I also checked change lock but there is no change in sales and billing document & Material
Regards
Sunina agarwal

Morning Sunina
Now consider this scenario
Item a - 10
Item b - 20
Item c - 30
and the validity of condition rec for item C is 31st of Jan
after 31st JAN the record changes or there isn't any.
In Copy control the pricing type is 'B' i.e., carry out new pricing.
Now if the document is created in January it will take all the above prices. and this document is then billed in Feb. Now the copycontrol, whilst copying the prices, will predetermine the same.
Now your task is to check if there was user intervention, check the pricing in order and check what condition types got affected in order and in billing.
If your scenario is still not amongst the above cases...
I don't know what to do, if you figure out please let us also know, god know when we would face the same scenario....
Take care

Difference between Blanket sales agreement and pricing agreement

Hi guys
I wasted hours the other day trying to get a blanket sales agreement number in the 'agreement' field on order management. Just to learn that there's two types of agreements in OM and it seems like there's some sort of overlap.
Can someone please give me a few functional tips of key indicators of when to use which.
Similarities between Blanket & Pricing agreements:
- Both can fix payment terms
- Both can have new pricing implications (set a new price other than existing pricelists)
Differences between blanket & pricing agreements:
I tried to read the manual for OM and Pricing but the pricing agreement was a bit short of a nice introduction explaining what it was. I was hoping it would read something like this: You go to your customer, you agree the following and therefore you need a pricing agreement.
Thanks!

Ah,
It struck me that hte most obvious difference is that sales agreements track the amount/qty of releases against that agreement. So the whole release process is some functionality that sales agreements can do that price agreements can not do.
So I'm wondering what can you achieve with a pricing agreement that you cannot achieve with a sales agreement?

Open sales order and back orders

hi ,
what is the difference between open sales order and back orders?
thanks
ganesh

Hi Ram,
A open sales order is the one which is not yet delivered that means u have only created a sales order and saved it( create a sales order, save it and see the document flow, the order shows as open)
Back order is also an order which is not completely fulfilled. may be because of the target quantity or because of not meeting the requested delivery date.
in this case you will pull back the required quantity from other sales order(open sales orders) this is done using T.Code CO06.
cheers,
anil.

Link between sales order and purchase order

plz explain the link between the sales order and purchase request

Hi Javed,
Their are 2 scenario for this.
1) You create a sales order and the system automatically creates a PR and then you convert to PO.This is third party sales.In PO account assignment the sales order number is directly copied to the PR And PO.
2) You create a PO wrt to SO .The goods received will be reserved for that SO. third party PO Vendor will directly deliver the goods to customer.The delivery address is copied from sales order.
Techincally
EKKN table you have sales order and Item fields (VBELN and POSNR)
using these fields search for the deliveries in LIPS table
EKKN-VBELN = LIPS-VGBEL and
EKKN-POSNR = LIPS-VGPOS

Link Sales Order and PO and Pick & Pack

Ability to add a manual Link between a Sales Order and Purchase order to reserve the item(s).
Also do not allow Pick & Pack manager to create pick list for sales orders with an earlier date if other sales orders exists waiting for complete shipment.

HI,
WE can use the table VBKD (SALES DOCUMENT: BUSINESS DATA )
1. VBELN - Sales order
2. BSTKD - Customer Purchase order
we can link these two fields and can pass the data in a internal table after that Vbeln is also present in
Tables VBAP ( SALE DOCUMENT ITEM DATA )
1. VBELN - SALE ORDER
2. MATNR - MATERIAL NUMBER
3. KWMENG - ORDER QUANTITY
which could be used for further procssing
Thanks

What is the difference between a sales return or RMA ?

Please explain or give a link or documentation which explains the difference between a sales return and RMA.
thanks in advance,
hun

Hi Paul,
The link is very good. thank you very much for that.
Please correct me if my understanding of the link you send is wrong.
following is my understanding..
RMA is created for product/products that is / are sales retruns as well as for repair (complaint is created in case there is no need of a repair or sales return).
I also would like to know which module of R/3 handles the RMA process?
Whether it is S.D. or Service Management.
Suppose if there is no CRM and only R/3 is there. RMA is to be created is it handled in R/3 service mangement? Is it not possible to handle the Returns in S.D. only (suppose when we do not have a service center) by creating a return orderin R/3 S.D.. Please also tell me what is the difference between a return order and RMA?
thank you

Sales Orders And Downpayment Invoices

Hi,
I am trying to get a link between the Sales Order and the Downpayment Invoices.
As I open a Sales Order I cannot directly figure out weather it has a down payment
invoice or not. (DP Invoices will not show on Target Document Button on the tool bar)
Is there a way to Find it out??
When I am going through the ORDR Table I have noticed DpmDrawn, DpmPrcnt, DpmAmnt, DpmAmntFC, DpmAmntSC, Columns.
DpmDrawn Shows Values 'Y' or 'N' but rest of the fields are just showing default values (null or 0.00) for every Sales order.
Is there any setting I have to set up to fill those fields?
or is there a better way to check that Sales Order has a Downpayment Invoice??
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Suda,
Thanks for the quick answer. True, that is the way I use to find the DP invoices.
Problem is no one check it before they generate a new DP invoice for the Sales Order.
We end up creating few DP invoices for the same Sales order.
I just want to stop that. Thats why i am trying find out a link between sales order and the
DP invoice and show it with the Sales order or give a rule.
Thank you very much for the help.
Kind Regards
Sanjaya

Link tables of Sales Order and Purchase Requisition

Hi,
thru which tables we can get the data of purchase requistion for a sales order.
regards,
balu

Dear Balu,
the fields VBEP-BANFN and VBEP-BNFPO are filled in the third-party process only. It means that there is 1:1 connection between the schedule line of the sales order and the purchase requisition. In the third-party process during saving the sales order the purchase requisition is created automatically and is linked to the order.
If the fields are empty, it means, you have no third-party process and no 1:1 connection between the sales order and the purchase requisition. Probably the sales order created normal requirements, which generate purchase requisition(s) after MRP run. In this case you cannot see the purchase requisition from the sales order as there is no 1:1 connection. You have no chance to get the data from sales order to the purchase requisition.
The only possibility which you (may be, it depends on the process) have, is to find sales order numbers from the purchase requisition: so to develop the process backwards. These data are stored in the database table EBKN: Purchase Requisition Account Assignment.
Please use the following fields:
EBKN-BANFN - Purchase requisition number (key field)
EBKN-BNFPO - Item number of purchase requisition (key field)
EBKN-LOEKZ - Deletion indicator in purchasing document (key field, can be helpful)
The corresponding sales orders are stored in:
EBKN-VBELN - Sales Document Number
EBKN-VBELP - Sales Document Item
EBKN-VETEN - Schedule line number
I hope, this information will help you further and will solve your problem.
Kind regards,

Difference between delivery related and order related billing

Hello Friends,
Kindly explain the difference between delivery related and order related billing with an example. Thanks

The billing relevance is controlled by item category of material, which u have assigned to sales document type.
For example
1.item category TAN
Billing relevance is A- Standard-Delivery-related billing document
So in standard order of material which has to get delivered, we will bill it on its delivery. So billing relevance is delivery related billing.
2.BVN
In cash sales item category is BVN whose billing relevance is Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty.
So here we will bill the customer from sales order only, no need to go to delivery.
DONT FORGT TO REWARD POINTS IF THIS ANSWER SATISFIES YOU.
Thanks
