Why should we create a new sales document type

I want to know the actual reason behind creating new sales document type when the standard document is available

General procedure when setting up sales document types
You have three options for configuring new sales document types:
1. Change an existing sales document type.
2. Copy an existing sales document type and change it according to your requirements.
3. Create a new sales document type.
Recommendation
For small changes, SAP recommends that you copy similar existing sales document types in the standard SAP R/3 System and make the appropriate changes. Small changes might, for example, be, a changed description, a different number range or a different increment for the numbering of items. The name is to start with the letter Z as SAP keeps this range free in the standard system.
This procedure has the following advantages:
All the specifications of the existing sales document type are copied. In particular, the data concerning, for example, partner determination, pricing or document flow which you would otherwise have to edit manually is copied.
You can test your new sales document types in respect to the settings made without having to edit the other settings.
When copying sales document types, item categories and schedule line categories, the SAP R/3 System automatically creates a log with the copied data. Using the log, you can check whether all of the copied data applies to your sales document type or whether you need to make changes.
Actions
1. If you need to make further changes, you should define new sales document types. To do this, you enter an alphanumeric key with a maximum of four characters for a sales document type and a textual description for the key.
2. Maintain the specifications on the detail screen according to your requirements.

In the Initial screen of VA01 you have to enter the sale area which is nothing but the combination of
Sales organization

And in the transaction code OVAZ you should assign the sales document type for this sales area .
Please revert if you need any frther clarification

e.g.Decision Support Services will need a PR type ZDEC to be created.
Any ideas ppl?
Thanks

Hi
Have you replicated the Same document type rom R/3 into the SRM system.
Are you using Extended Classic Scenario (ECS) ?
The solution proposed in this post won't work in your case:
Using the BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS to determine the backend doc type will only allow you to determine the follow-on doc type for each SC item: RS or PR or PO.
With this BADI, you set 1, 2 or 3 in ITEM_DATA-OBJ_TO_GEN.
But it does not provide you with the choice of the R/3 doc type (PR01 or PR02) for each "follow-on" doc type (PR).
There is a BADI to change de backend Doc type or the backend doc number: BBP_SC_TRANSFER_BE Determine Number Ranges and Grouping in Backend Documents
You can, independent of the standard, use the method GROUP_RQ to create a separate grouping for purchase requisitions.
In the standard, the system creates only one purchase requisition in the backend for all purchase requisitions with the same backend document type . If the document types are different, the standard creates a separate purchase requisition for each document type.
So you can use this BADI and its method GROUP_RQ to group material items in one side, and service items on the other side.
Please go through the link for more details ->

Document Types for PR created in R/3
Do let me know.

Issues in creating Sales Document Type

I am creating a new Sales Document Type, but the problem is this that the "Probability" &
"Incompl. Proced" fields are disabled and I am unable to enter record in this field , please help me out that how can I enter values in these fields.

Hi shadab ali
You will be configuring the Incompletion procedure in SPRO->basic functions->Incompletion log procedure.
There to your sales document type an incompletion log will be assigned and that incompletion log will be getting grayed out. So if you want to change you need to change in in Incompletion log procedure. And the probability will be getting grayed out as it is determined by the Sales document category .That is the reason if you see for document type IN the probability will be different and if you see for document type QT probability will be different but if you see for document type OR the probability will be 100%.Generally it gets copied from the CMR also.

Created new Sales Doc Type - Cost Center field on header isn't showing

Hi,
I need to have the cost center input enabled on the header account assignment tab but it isn't showing at the moment.
On my new Sales document type the order category is "H Returns" is this blocking it or is there something else I need to do.
I don't want to auto assign the cost center just have it input enabled and showing.
Thanks

I found that sales doc category H for returns disabled the cost center.
Mine was a free good so I was able to change to an I which worked.

Regd creation of New Sales Order Type - Credit Memo Request

Hello Gurus,
I have created a New Sales Order Type as per the given requirements. This is a Credit Memo Request. I have done all that are needed from SD perspective.
Can you please let me know what needs to be done from FI-CO perspective when a New Sales Order Type is created and this is a Credit Memo Request. If some one can let me know the customizations that needs to be done it will be very helpful for me.
Thanks,
SNK.

Hi,
As per my understanding, there is nothing to be required from FI-CO perspective, in case when you defined a document type in SD.
During the sales order processing the SD-FI interface happenes for following activities
1) Credit check (In case you use Credt management)
2) Tax determination

Automatic Batch Determination is not happening for New Sales Order Type

Dear Experts,
I have created a new sales order type ZBPY - For Free Sales, but automatic batch detrmination and batch pick up is not happening for new sales order type, but it is activated for all the other sales order types in Production Server, can any body let me know the steps how to map this new order type to batch management and let it behave like other order types.
Thanks in Advance.
Saravanan(EKS).

Hi Saravanan,
Kindly check the following steps for automatic batch determination.
1. First check the material is maintained with batch in the warehouse management.
2. Maintain new entry for search procedure for batch determination with the new created doc type.
3. Maintain new entry for automatic batch determination for sales order or automatic batch determination for delivery ( This depends on the business process of our client, whether they want to determine the batch with sales order or at the delivery level. check this and make new entry)
4. Create Batch using T.code MSC1N with proper date of manuf. and SLED.
5. Create Batch Search Strategy using T.code VCH1 with proper strategy type.
6. Maintain stock with active batch. check this with t.code LS26 or LS24.

Should we create new sales order type for Brazil

Hi,
We are having SAP Global templete environment & going for Brazil rollout. My question is whether we can have exitsing sales order type or should we create a new one so as to capture complicated Nota fiscal requirements.
What SAP recemmends
Thanks
Amb

Most of the sales document types for Brazil are identified by BR in the description, for instance, sales document type ORB for Standard Order BR. This means a separate order type.
[Country version Brazil exclusively deals with Nota Fiscais.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/10/e0f0371bc15d73e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm]

For new Plant should we have to create a new sales organization?

Hi Experts,
I am going for one roll out project. In that we have to create new plant, so should i have to create new sales organization or else we can use the same. And also tell me what are the benefits & disadvantages of that.
Thanks & Regards
Chavi Patle
Edited by: chavipatlesd on Jan 30, 2011 8:33 AM

hi
i will say only one logic here.
if you define the plant or new plant you need to extend all the other organisational units for it right.
then i there is no need for creation of new SALES ORGANISATION on the same.
please take the advice of your PM in this regard he might be having different views from reporting perspective and might be your roll out project needs a new sales orgn or not.
if you ask us thre is no need for creating a new sales organisation on the same.
advantages:
if there is a really need for creating a new sales orgn as wellas plant this mihgt be for reporting perspective only & analysis will be very clear.
disadvantages:
this is not a disadvantage but from Enterprise Structure point of view master data will increase ofcourse this master data is needed for smooth processing of SYSTEM
hope this clears your issue.
