Hi Sam,
You really need to explore yourself on that. For example if you want to find out the processes in say Cement industry, just google in Cement sales process and you will get some of the industry standards, processes and so on. From there you can build on it. This has to be exploratory only and there is no standard set of processes for each industry. Though the common processes are there, variations are abundant.
Just get into help.sap.com and search for each verticals, you will get the process standards for every kind of industry SAP has IS on.

Data flow can happen in finance module from many quarters in SAP and non SAP system depending upon the landscape of the ERP system implemented. I am giving below the general overview of data flow.
The Financial Accounting (FI) application component fulfills all the international requirements that must be met by the financial accounting department of an organization. It provides the following features:
Management and representation of all accounting data
All business transactions are recorded according to the document principle, which provides an unbroken audit trail from the financial statements to the individual documents.
Open and integrated data flow
Data flow between Financial Accounting and the other components of the SAP System is ensured by automatic updates.
Data is available in real time within Financial Accounting. Postings made in the subledgers always generate a corresponding posting in the general ledger.
Preparation of operational information to assist strategic decision-making within the organization
Integration:Integration of Financial Accounting with other components
All accounting-relevant transactions made in Logistics (LO) or Human Resources (HR) components are posted real-time to Financial Accounting by means of automatic account determination. This data can also be passed on to Controlling (CO).
This ensures that logistical goods movements (such as goods receipts and goods issues) are exactly reflected in the value-based updates in accounting.
Integration within Financial Accounting
Every posting that is made in the subledgers generates a corresponding posting to the assigned G/L accounts. This ensures that the subledgers are always reconciled with the general ledger.
Features: The Financial Accounting application component comprises the following sub-components:
General Ledger (FI-GL)
Accounts Payable (FI-AP)
Accounts Receivable (FI-AR)
Bank Accounting (FI-BL)
Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
Funds Management (FI-FM)
Travel Management (FI-TV)
Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL)
Hope I had been able to provide help to you. please reward points and let me know if you need anything in specific.
The dataflow as functional process below are the points:
1) Purchasing Requsition -> sent by inventory dept to purcharsing dept
2) Request for Quotation(RFQ)-> Purchasing Dept shall ask the vendors to give the quotation for the requested materials by inventory.
3) Quotation -> Quotation is sent by vendors to the company
4) Purchase order-> Based on all paramers of a quotation sent by vendors. Vendors are selected from whom the material has to be obtained. The company gives purchase order to the vendor.
5) Good's receipt -> vendors sends the goods to the company with goods receipt
6) Invoice verification -> this done based on good's receipt. this means that the ordered goods have reached or not.
7) Payment -> payment is done based on invoice verification. this is (FI/CO)
Basically there are 5 major topics/areas in FI,
1. GL Accounting -
related tables are SKA1, SKB1 Master data
BSIS and BSAS are the Transaction Data
2. Account Receivables- related to Customer
All the SD related data when transfered to FI these are created.
Related Tables BSID and BSAD
3. Account Payables - related Vendor
All the MM related documents data when transfered to FI these are created
Related Tables BSIK and BSAK
All the above six tables data is present in BKPF and BSEG tables
You can link these tables with the hlp of BELNR and GJAHR and with Dates also.
4. Special Purpose Ledger.. which is rarely used.
5. Asset Managment
In CO there are
Profit center Accounting
Cost center Accounting will be there.
Cross-Application Components -> Financial.

Business flow overview

Hello gurus,
I am an ABAPer . i would like to know the overview of business flow in FINANCE. can anyone help me rearding this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vara,
check this :
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 availibility 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 bacgground. 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 good s 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.

Business flow in SD

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramu,
Business Flow is nothing but the sales process what happens and how it happens in SAP- SD. We can have a variety of Sales processess happening and it would be difficult to really explain all the variety of sales hapenning. I will just give a brief about the basic sales cycle and most of the sales takes place with a few changes to the basic sales cycle.
1. Creation of Inquiry: Tcode: VA21
This a document sent by customer enquiring baout more details abou the product or services our company is offering
2. Quotation: VA11
This is created with ref to the inquiry(VA21). This document give detailed information about the product or service you are offering with Terms & conditions of the sales
3. Order: VA01
This is document created with ref to VA11. And this is a mandetory document for rest of the process.
This comletes the sales process and then we have SHipping Process (sending the material to the customer in SAP SD Ship-to-party)
4. Delivery: VL01N
This is created with ref to Order. this is the basic document using which the activities take place in Stores/Plant and teh material is transported to Customer.
5. Picking: LT03
Created with ref to delievry. This is the process of mapping that some one is physically taking the material required to be sent to Ship-to-party from a particular Bin (Rack)
6. Confirmation of Picking: LT12
This is to confirm that the material picked is as per requirement and as per dleievry and no extra material is picked
7. Post Goods Issue: VL02N
Process after which the material leave your premises (stores/Plant) and is transported to Ship-to-party)
8. Billing: VF01 Tables used:
Process of Billing customer for the Prooducts you have sold or services you have offered.
Hope this provides dome basic understanding about Business Flow/ Sales process in SAP - SD.

Break implementation of Sales&Distribution FROM Production into phases

I have found this forum very helpful and responsive. Thanks for all the help.
Due to the requirement of getting the ecommerce site up fast, is it possible to just implement:
Sales Distribution side of business one 2007A
APART
From the Production MRP modules
I suppose for this:
1. In the item master, all items for planning tab have NONE for planning method
2. Item is setup as INVENTORY and SALE ITEM in the general area
The raw materials cost are already accounted for as part of the purchase.
The question is how to deplete the raw goods inventory, when the finished good is completed.
If I use Inventory GI or GR then that would work but it will effect the inventory variance gain/loss account. Effecting this account is not quite right or is it?
Or is there another way to do it?
Mike

What if I don't care about consumption of the raw goods since it is very cheap about .5% cost of the finished goods.
But I do want to show finished goods inventory coming into the warehouse.
Mike

Why do we need Sales area

Hi,
Can any one tell me what are all the possible reasons for this question...
"Why do we need Sales area?"
Regards,
Nalini Ramesh

Hi,
Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products, negotiates terms of sale, 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.

What is Business flow & Business Methodology

Hi Guru's
I hope all are doing well in your jobs. I am in job Hunting. Can someone explain me on above said topic. Its bit confusing. And also provide me the difference between these two.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time spending and answers too.

Hi Sidheer,
It is a very interesting question you have asked.
I will try to explain in my terminology
Business flow : From SAP point of you , will be the procee chain from start till end
for example Order2Cash will be a complete business cycle which include Sales cycle till invoice to customer including various steps require to fulfill your business requirement will be considered as flow of business.
Coming to Business Methodologies :
This will be high level definition for you business based on industry best practices.
Methodologies for example ASAP will be used at the time of SAP implementation.
I hope it helps you to understand the difference,
Regards
Ajay
