=================================
What are the differences between cash sales and rush order?
1) Cash sale : in this delivery automatically happen when you save the sales order. After that you have to give an invoice to the customer.
2) Rush order. Here also delivery automatically happen when you save the sales order. But the difference is you can send invoice after some time but the delivery should happen immediately.
If you goto any super market first, you pick up the item and then pay the bill and then you will get the bill, this process is cash sales.
Cash sales is order related billing whereas RO is delivery related.
Cash sales is not relevant for availability check as you will be picking the goods whereas RO is relevant for availability check.
Cash sales is also not relevant for credit management whereas RO is relevant credit management.
Cash sales uses RD03 as output which immediately prints the invoice whereas RO uses standard output RD00.
Cash sales has one time customer account group where as RO normally doesn't.
For cash sales order type is BV or CS and for RO it is RO
Cash sales triggers petty cash a/c where as in RO customers account is debited.
Delivery and settlement will be done immediately in cash sales where as in RO only delivery will be done immediatrly.
Rush Order/Cash Sales –
Rush orders and Cash sales are sales document types that are used in the sales from plant process or when the customer needs to pick their goods immediately from the warehouse.
In the sales document type, the following changes have to be made for rush order/cash sales –
a. order type – RO/CS
b. shipping conditions – immediately
c. immediate delivery – X
d. lead time in days – not to be specified
e. delivery type – LF/BV
f. billing type – F2/BV
g. item category – TAN/BVN
h. schedule line category – CP/CP
In case of rush orders and cash sales once the goods have been withdrawn from the warehouse, picking and posting goods issue can begin.
In case of rush orders, when you create the billing documents the system prints the invoice papers and sends them to the customer.
But in case of cash sales, an order related billing index is generated automatically. This updates the billing due list. Billing type BV is created, while the billing due list is being processed and the system does not print invoices during billing for a cash sale.
In cash sales when you save the order, the system automatically generates a cash receipt that can be given to the customer as an invoice and the goods are picked up from the warehouse immediately by the customer. You control the output with output type RD03, contained in the output determination procedure for order type CS.
=========================================

Sales and Distribution is SAP begins with establishing customer relationship and ends with invoicing for the delivery of goods or service provided to the customer .
A Standard sales transaction has the following flow:
Inquiry --> Quotation | |
Order
Delivery
Billing
The customer order management cycle begins with pre-sales activities.
A standard order in SAP contains:
- Customer and material info
- Pricing conditions
- Delivery dates and quantities
- Shipping info
- Billing Info
Inventory sourcing in SAP is taken care by
- Availability check
Shipping in SAP supports
- Outbound delivery creation
- Picking
- Packing
- Post Goods Issue
Billing in SAP supports
- Creating invoices for products and services
- Creating credit and debit memo
- Cancel previously posted billing documents
- Automatically transferring billing documents to accounting
When a billing document is created for a sales order we
- Credit the sales revenue account
- Debit the customer receivables account
Sales Document
A sales document is grouped into three structures
- Header
- Item
- Schedule Line
Outbound delivery
A delivery document is grouped into two structures
- Header
- Item
Several orders can be grouped into same outbound delivery if they have same
- Shipping point
- Delivery date
- Ship-to- address
Picking
- A transfer order is created for an outbound delivery
- A transfer order is created for a warehouse number
Post Goods Issue
When PGI is done the system
- Updates the quantity in inventory management and delivery requirements in materials planning
- Generates additional documents for accounting
- Adds the delivery to the billing due list
- Updates status in sales documents
Billing
We can group deliveries into single billing document if the deliveries have same
- Billing date
- Payer
- Destination Country
The effects of billing are
- Debit on the customer receivables account and credit on sales revenue account is created
- Sales information system
- Sales statistics is updated
Master data in SAP
SAP SD has got the following main masters:
- Customer master

Pricing Procedure determination:
Pricing is an important component in SAP-SD. Once an order is entered taking into consideration some major factors, the pricing procedure for the particular order is determined.
The major factors taken into consideration for pricing procedure determination is:
Sales area
+
Customer Pricing procedure(Customer Master –Sales area data)
+
Document Pricing Procedure(Sales Document Type)
Pricing Procedure
What are the components of pricing procedure?
How is that a person should work on Pricing Procedure?
To start with first
Define a Condition table:
What is a condition table?
A table where the key fields are data combinations for which messages are triggered (and offered for processing).
For each data combination, there is a condition record in the table. The data part contains the actual message.
As mentioned above a condition table is a table which carries key fields for picking up the prices.
Define Access Sequences
The access sequence is a search strategy which the SAP System uses to search for condition records valid for a condition type.
For example, you can define for a price that the SAP System first searches for a customer-specific price and then for a price list price.
Recommendation
· If you define your own access sequences, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves this letter for the standard system.
· Do not change access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new access sequences by copying a similar access sequence and changing it according to your needs. Specify an alphanumeric key which may have up to 4 digits and a textual description.
3. Maintain the accesses for the access sequence by specifying the condition tables in the desired sequence. With the sequence, you define the priority of the accesses. You can display combinations of key fields using possible entries.
4. Generating the accesses is no longer necessary as of 3.0, as this is carried out automatically. You can generate the accesses manually, if required, by choosing "Utilities".
Example
In pricing, you use a customer-material discount. The condition records you create are based on customer data from the document header and material data from each document item. The discount is only valid for 2% of your customers, however. Normally, this would mean that the system would needlessly search through every available item for 98% of your customers. In this case, pre step would improve system performance.
Define Condition Type
A characteristic of a condition. For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Price elements are represented in the SAP system by condition types. Price elements can be, for example, prices, surcharges, discounts, taxes or, freight, and are stored in the system in condition records.
You can, for example, define whether a discount is calculated as a percentage or a fixed amount using the condition type.
You specify an access sequence in every condition type. Thus, you define which fields the SAP system checks when searching for a valid condition record.
Note
- The pricing procedure groups all condition types together which the SAP system is to automatically take into account during pricing for a business transaction (see the section "Define and assign pricing procedures").
Remember that you can only specify manually in a document those condition types which are contained in the pricing procedure.
- You can change the outcome of pricing in the sales document manually. You can limit options for changing a condition type in this IMG step.
Recommendation
- If you define your own condition types, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves these letters for that purpose in the standard system.
- Do not change the condition types which are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the condition types contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new condition types by copying a similar conditions type and changing it according to your requirements. One reason for creating a new condition type is you may require a calculation rule for a discount which is not available in the standard system.
Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 4 digits, and a textual description.
Specify an access sequence for the condition types. You do not need to specify an access sequence for header conditions.
3. Maintain the detail screen of the condition type.
You can also assign a reference condition type if the condition types you are working with are similar. Then you will only have to maintain condition records for the reference condition type.
In addition, you can define the upper and lower limits for the value of a condition at condition type level. This way, you limit the amounts or the scale values in the corresponding condition records.
Define Pricing Procedures
The pricing procedure defines the conditions permitted for a document and the sequence in which the system takes these conditions into account during pricing.
A standard pricing procedure is defined in the standard SAP system. It contains conditions most commonly used. These include material prices, discounts, and surcharges, such as freight, or tax.
SAP Recommendation
· Define your own pricing procedures which contain only those condition types which you use. Otherwise, the system makes un neccessary accesses to conditions.
· Do not change the pricing procedures contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Create new pricing procedures by copying a similar pricing procedure.
- Specify a key with up to 6 characters and a description.
- For a procedure, specify the condition types in the sequence of their usage.
Maintain the lines of the pricing procedure
2. Afterwards define the customer determination procedures for determining the procedure.
3. Define the document pricing procedures for determining the procedure.
4. Assign the procedure to the sales document types and billing types.
5. To determine the procedure, define the allowed combinations of:
- Sales area
- Customer pricing procedure
- Document pricing procedure
- Pricing procedure
Shipping:
The basis for shipping is delivery.
Delivery document controls the following in deliveries
- Number range
- Item no increment
- Storage location rule
- Route determination
- Text determination
- Delivery split
- Gen. packing material / item
- Order required
Delivery item category controls:
- Check min delivery
- Availability check
- Relevant for picking
- Storage location required
- Determine storage location
- Automatic batch determination
- Text determination procedure
Billing:
Billing is the last phase in the SD process .Billing is the phase where the major integration of SD and FI Module happens.
Billing document has got the following structure:
- Header
- Item
Billing documents mainly control:
- No. range
- Posting block (Controls posting to accounting)
- Relevant for rebate
- Account determination procedure
- Account determination recon account
- Account determination pay.cards
- Output determination procedure
