SAP SD Career for Sales and Marketing Professional in Banking & Insurance Industry

Dear Experts,
I have 8+ years experience in Marketing,Sales and Customer Services in banking and financial service industry. I enquired about SAP courses in authorised SAP centres and they suggested me to go with SAP SD module. I am not sure whether SAP SD will suits to me as it deals with hard core products, but my sales and marketing experience in based on Concept selling. As a marketing guy i have good understanding and knowledge of sales and product life cycle. I have done MCA in 2004, but all experience is into BFSI domain. Now i want to shift into IT. Whether i can take up SAP SD and make a career in it.?.Seeking proper guidance from experts.
Cheers
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can try to IS-Insurance to suit your domain experience. However, if you look at major SAP Implemented insurance companies adopted SAP ERP and custom according to their need. So, getting a breakthrough in this IS solution would be very hard.
Again, if I come back to your question on BFSI point domain experience. I have my friend who worked in Top 5 BFSI company in India who transitioned his career in SAP SD (studied in SAP Authorized institute and got a job through campus in CMM Level 5 company) because he has BE + MBA. This story was happened 8 years back. But I don't know the current trend in India.
SAP SD is best and it will suit as I saw already a guy went through the same path. Also, check SAP CRM Sales or Service.
You can wait for other members comments who may be transitioned from BFSI sector to SAP to give some ideas.
Best of luck.

Tax Conditions for Sales and Distribution using Jurisdiction Code in Canada

Hello everyone,
I would like to share with you a doubt relating taxes for Sales and Distribution in Canada.
The Tax conditions for Sales and Distribution in Canada are the CTX1 (GST - Canada), CTX2 (PST - Canada) and CTX3 (Base + GST). These are the Tax Conditions which appear when creating a Material or a Client for the Canada Region, and are also the ones included in the Canada Standandard Pricing Procedure.
I tried to apply the standard method of creating a Master Record for these conditions, but an error relating the Jurisdiction Code came out while releasing to accounting.
Does anyone one how to procceed? Which are the important issues with Finance Accounting to take in to account?
I would really appreciate any comment relating this issue.
Thank you very much in advanced.
Víctor

Dear Mr. Lakshmipathi,
In first place, thank you very much for your quick response.
I have tried many different procedures to get the aim, and among others, a new access sequence was created to allow the introduction of the Jurisdiction Code (UTXJ is not available for Sales Conditions) but once the Condition is created, it is not recognized when creating the Order ("pricing error: Mandatory condition CTX is missing"). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that these conditions are not included in the Finance Accounting Tax Procedure, where the conditions, which represent the same taxes but with different condition names, are defined for a certain Tax Code and Jurisdiction code.
Among the different SAP notes for the error relating the Jurisdiction code, there was one proposing to change the Condition Category from "D" (Taxes) to a value between "1 and 4". By doing this a new error appears while creating the order, saying that there are conditions in the Tax procedure (JRC1, JRC2)which are not included in the Sales Pricing procedure. By including this conditions in the Pricing procedure, the Tax Conditions existing in the Finance Accounting Tax Procedure are brought to the Order Conditions, in addition to the Sales Tax Conditions. And there is something more, each Tax Condition from the Finance Accounting Procedure appears twice, one with the application V (Sales) with value zero, and one with application TX (Taxes) with the value existing in the Finance Accounting Taxes Procedure. This is how at the end, the corresponding %value of the taxes is brought to the Invoice with the correct Tax Code, and the proper Jurisdiction Code, which is different for each condition.
Thank you very much for your time.

FROM dbo.Orders O

WHERE O.OrderDate >= '19970101'
AND O.OrderDate < '19980101'
GROUP BY datepart(month, O.OrderDate)
,datename(month, O.OrderDate)
,OD.ProductID
,cte1
AS (
SELECT P.ProductName
,P.ProductID
,cte.SoldQty
,cte.MonthNumber
,cte.[Month Name]
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY cte.MonthNumber ORDER BY SoldQty
) AS RnMin
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY cte.MonthNumber ORDER BY SoldQty DESC
) AS RnMax
FROM cte
INNER JOIN dbo.Products P ON cte.ProductID = P.ProductID
SELECT [Month Name]
,MIN(CASE

Hi,
Could you be more specific about your requirement. I could understand that you wanted to know what all are the Customer sales reports could be provided in SD.
Generally irrespective of projects few reports are considered as baseline reports for any SAP implementations.
For example: 1. Order intakes daily
                      2. Order intakes monthly
                      3. Order magin (daily,monthly)
                     4. Order analysis.
Best regards.

Taking long time filling the setup tables for sales and shipment

Hi ,
I am trying to fill the setup tables for sales and shipment and it is taking lot of time .
It took 16 hours just to bring 6 months of sales history data in the test environment .
Cn anybody help on this issue why it is taking that much of time ...
I am trying to load the sales data from R/3 into APO-BW from 2005 to 2007 .......
It is taking 16 hours to fill the data for only 6 months .

Hi,
1. delete data and refill the setuptables again by spliting to several small pieces.
2. compare the data. wht is the last Document numner in RSA3(Maximum one). Start from Maximum one. may be bit complex approch.
you need to check with PSA and base tables.
keep one thing in your mind you need to check againest MSEG and BSEG only. noy BKPF and MKPF.
correct if i'm wrong.
either refill or create a user exit to avoid duplicae records(you should have very good understanding of data, it will lead to inconsitent data for delta records).
User exit not a good solution. it's one possibility.

Org model for sales and service

Hi,
I have an issue while creating org model, I want to maintain organization for sales and service differently under a org unit, but in service org element when I have selected service radio button and type also as service in Function tab, it is effecting for all units, even the first org unit is also changing automatically to service.
Please clarify!
Thanks and Best Regards,
Abdul

Hi Abdul,
I tried replicating what you have mentioned in your message and it is behaving exactly the same as in your case. So I dont think it will have any impact on your root org unit.
Dont tick mark any of the options i.e sales organization,Sales office or sales group for your root unit.Just create one org unit and leave as it is by saving.
When creating sales Org: Double click the the root org unit and click on "Create". Create the required sales organization(by selecting the sales scenario(radio button) and tick mark the sales organization in the funtion tab page.
Now you have created your sales organization.
When creating service organization: again double click the root org unit and click on "Create". Create the required service organization by selecting the service scenario(radio button) and tick mark the service organization.
Now you have created your service organization.
So when you select your org unit created as sales organization and switch to service scenario(radio button) and select the root org you will see the root unit also in service scenario and also you will not see any tick mark for sales/service/marketingin the root org unit.
Reward points if helpful.

SAP calculates % incorrect for PO and SO Conditions

When creating a PO or SO the Conditions at item level (both discounts and extra charges) related to % are calculated incorrect.
If the user enters a discount of 10% the system calculates a discount of 1% and if the user enters 100% the discount calculated becomes 10%. (10% of $100 becomes $1 not $10)
This error appears for all Conditions related to % so I assume the configuration of the Conditions are of a more global nature.
Both our Development and Test systems are working fine.
Any ideas?

Stephen,
Thanks for your swift reply.
OSS has been consulted however they defined this as a configuration issue.
I do not agree in their judgment however this is where it stands now and hence I have posted this tread.
The Production System is not open for configuration so this is a real mystery to me.
I believe that if someone by accident did a bad config in Test and Development this error should also be found in these systems and not only in the Production System.
We are using a standard SAP Price Calculation Schema - RM0000 and all Conditions are standard SAP conditions both for PO and SO.
Kind regards,
Are

SAP Certification Exam for sales order management

Hello All,
I am an SAP SD Consultant with 5 yrs of experience. My experience spans across different areas in SD which includes integration experience as well.
Off late i decided to appear for a certification exam & found the same in SAP website. SAP is offering the following certification exam as it relates to SO Management
"SAP Certified Application Professional - Sales Order Management with SAP ERP 6.0"
Can somebody advice/sugges me on if i can prepare for this exam on my own based on my work experiece or is it better to go to a centre which offers a certification training. I would appreciate any suggestions/comments
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi Vekat,
Having knowledge is good but certification comes in different way. There will be questions from SAP materials and it might be just one line from the PDFs.
Its good to go thru the SAP materials applicable for this certification which can help you to prepare for it in a better way.
If you donot have these materials then you may go thru e-learnings/classroom trainings either from SAP Eduction or from its affiliated institutions.

Subhash
