Sales Documents Flashcards
Sales Document levels
• Header Level (Table VBAK) • Item Level (Table VBAP) • Schedule Line (Table VBEP)
Header Level
Responsible for master data such as customer material master as well as sales area and organization data.
Item Level
Responsible for material item data such as order quantity, and material master data. • Controlled by the item category settings of the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
Schedule line
Responsible for delivery dates and delivery quantity. This is controlled by the schedule line item category settings of the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
Business Data
Table (VBKD) Can exist on Header level or item level Ex: Incoterms for the sales order, which are copied from the ship to party master data into the sales order header business data. This header business data applies to all items on the sales order. • You can change business Data for one of the order items even after having a header business data. Thus we have item business data.
Sales order
Contractual agreement between a sales org and a customer (sold-to-party) for supply of services or products over a specific period of time and in certain quantities • Sales order pulls master data from the customer master record and the material master record of a specific sales area. This data is then manipulated into context according to the sales document type, item category, and schedule line category • Can be created with reference to a preceding document, in which case data from preceding document is copied into the new document. • sales order data is transferred into delivery document upon creation using additional delivery or shipping information for the delivery note. Following goods issue, the information is passed onto billing, if billing is necessary

Number ranges
• A number range is assigned to a document type • Also used for master data objects such as customer master records • Two forms of number ranges, Internal and External - Internal, system proposes the number range and next available number - External, system allows user to specify a number that has not already been used and is within the number range for the object • Manually transported through clients Ex: number range “01” or “A2”
Client
The environment you are working in. • Generally, companies have a system with a client for each environment • If you transport a number interval from one client to another, the intervals you have in the client you are exporting to will be deleted first, then the number range and assigned status will be created in the new client.
