SAP Order-to-Cash

Hi,
I want more about SAP Order-to-Cash and configuration steps.
Plz help out of this problem.
Regards
Shruthi

Hi Shruthi,
Order to cash normally refers to the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) process in which taking customer sales orders via different sales channels, such as email, internet, sales person, fax or by some other means like EDI, and then fulfilling the order, shipping, logistic and then generating an invoice and collecting payment for that invoice and then receipt.
If we consider the entire flow, this can be further categorized into the following seven sub-processes:
Customer presence
Order entry (creation of order/booking of order )
Order fulfillment
Distribution
Invoicing
Customer payments/collection
Receipt
In SAP terms it happens as following.
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 AR 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.
Hope this helps you. Le t me know if you need specific information.

Integration with SAP order fulfillment?

Hi, forgive me in advance for my ignorance and high-level questions in this post. Though I am a good programmer, I have never used SAP before and am trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can.
I am the founder and director of technology of a small nonprofit, www.sirum.org, that uses an online platform to streamline medicine donation from manufacturers and hospitals to community clinics that serve the uninsured. We recently had a big break through with a number of large manufacturers that they would transition their current proprietary donation software over to us in order for us to develop a cross-manufacturing donation solution so clinics didn't have to deal with each company individually.
The catch is that I believe most if not all of these companies wanted backend integration of our service with their current SAP order fulfillment systems. The webservice SIRUM is creating will have a clinic login to our site, order the medicine they need, tell each manufacturer how much of their drugs were ordered by whom, and then have a delivery request along with the clinics address sent to their distribution center.
I haven't discussed the integration component with them in anymore detail yet, but since I have never integrated a webservice with SAP - let alone even used SAP - before I wanted to get a sense of what a multiple manufacturer webservice integration would entail. Namely,
1) would we just create a WSDL with operations that tell the manufacturer how much was ordered?
2) Since we want the manufacturer to have little or no customization work on their end is there a way to also provide them an SAP program that then take information provided by our webservice and turns it into their ordering syntax.
3) Would this latter piece depend on what modules of SAP each manufacturer has installed, or does all order fulfillment use the same SAP module/solution?
4) Would a solution involve a lot of customization from manufacturer to manufacturer? Is there a way to minimize the amount of customization without sacrificing integration?
5) Do you guys/ladies have any good ideas of any features that could be added to the base functionality (sending an order of medicine from a clinic to a manufacturer and its distribution center for fulfillment)
Thanks in advance for your time,
Adam

If I'm understand your question correctly, you want to send the order you receive on your web to the manufacturer. Then manufacturer will create a sales order and delivery order on their side and deliver the good to the clinic.
In this case,
1,2) It would be better for you to send the order to them instead of creating the wsdl for them to call. There is a standard format EDI for sales order that SAP use to interface with legacy system. You cna generate the data in this format and send to each manufacturer so they can configure the system on their side.
3) The module is called SAP order fullfillment or SAP order-to-cash or SAP SD (Sales & distribution). It means the same thing just some people call it differnetly. SAP SD is the common one.
4) Surely there will be some effort for each manufacture to integrate their system with you. However, If you use the standard EDI, the effort would be minimal for the manufaturer that already implement this with other partner.
5) you can pass along the address in sales order. If the manufacturer system implemented SAP SD, they should be able to create sales order, delivery order and invoice from their side.

Order-to-cash flow in SD

Can you let me know on the Order-to-cash cycle in SD module? The process & steps to set up in SAP.
THx,
Pri

Hello,
SAP NetWeaver is an open integration and application platform that ideally manages heterogeneity and powers collaborative solutions, making it possible to tie disparate systems together in single, point-to-point integration projects and largely reduce the complexity and cost of this process. mySAP Business Suite applications are based on the SAP NetWeaver platform, an integration and application platform. It can enables companies to intelligently commit delivery dates in real time and fulfill orders from all channels on time through optimized manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation processes. This includes real-time, global available-to-promise checks to locate finished products and components. The checks can take into account product characteristics and market constraints; order management, including the creation of quotations, sales orders, and bills; and transportation management, including transportation planning and vehicle scheduling, execution, and tracking of individual shipments. SAP's Extended Order Management supports such processes through a single, common data model to ensure the consistency of the data and the transferred objects. The resulting integration goes beyond mere connecting,. It integrates on three levels: on the presentation level, by bringing all the pieces of information needed about a customer together in one view, whether that information comes from CRM, SCM or financials; on the business process level, by enabling such activities as reserving inventory for particular orders; and on the access level, by allowing information to be shared with customers, suppliers, partners, or others.
Also, NetWeaver is giving SAP an opportunity to convince existing R/3 customers to upgrade to the mySAP product suite. NetWeaver and the underlying Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA) are a major part of SAPs message as to why existing R/3 customers should upgrade to the mySAP product line. NetWeaver also improves SAPs ability to integrate with third party applications within the clients own portfolio or to enable e-commerce with suppliers and partners.
To cut the long story short, though Netweaver can be used to integrate SAP R/3 with CRM and SCM, one needs to look at the other major factors also like the project cost, duration of the project for integration, specialised consulting, development cost etc.

Gauravjit.

ORDER-TO-CASH OTC Extraction

Hello All,
Would appreciate if you can explain me OTC in relation to BW. What are the extractors, what specific reports are generated for order-to-cash.
I promise to award points to helpful answer.
Thanks for your time.
Pramod.

Hi
Order to cash is the process where the customer pays upfront while ordering the goods. The Order type will be different in Sales Flow in R/3 SD module when configuring for Order to Cash
SAP standard is the sales doc type CS ( cash sales..something )
In BW, we can give a filter in your transformations, update or transfer rules to arrive at keyfigures only relevant to order cash referring the Cash order Sales Document type configured in R/3
All the SAP standard Extractors for Sales and Distribution are relevant for O2C analysis in BW

ES bundle scenario for Order to cash

Hi Experts,
I have to perform a scenario of ES bundles for Order to cash in PI.
Please provide me the pre-requisites to perform this scenario.
Also an approach to perform this scenario (Links to weblogs or articles if any are highly appreciated)
Regards,
Saravanan

You have to first go through the Enterprise Services for this process. Search for your ES Workplace and open the specific service. Then you understand which SWCV would be required to use this service. These SWCV has to be imported in PI And ECC. And thats it for the standard configuration. For modifications to standard process, you might have to implement some BADI.

Order to cash process flow

could someone explain me "order to cash" process.
Thank You

hi
Order to Cash is the scenario that covers all capabilities, companies use to create inquiries and quotations, acquire and enter orders, configure products, determine pricing, check product availability (ATP), and track and manage contracts, pricing, and invoices.
Quotations and orders are captured through several channels like Mobile Sales, Customer Interaction Center, Channel Partners, and e-Selling. In order to complete the sales cycle, advanced tools to analyze sales performance and the sales process are required by chemical companies. These sales-analytics capabilities include a quick and easy determination of the financial status and the overall effectiveness of the sales organization.
Chemical industry managers need comprehensive data to adress trends proactively, measure customer retention and revenue shortfalls, and assess future opportunities
