- Pricing Flexibility
In the SD module, you can create complex pricing schemes that are dependent on customers, goods sold, special promotions etc. Rebate processing options are also very sophisticated and comprehensive.
- Simple Order Entry
The user enters basic order details all on one SAP Screen. From this window screen, there is simple access to all the levels of the order, namely header, item, and schedule line information.
- Comprehensive Reporting
The standard Sales Information System (SIS) allows data to be stored, consolidated, and reported upon by the user in a variety of formats.
- Flexible Batch Processing of Orders
Orders, deliveries, shipments, invoices and other sales
documents can be generated in batch form, based on order types (e.g., incomplete
orders) or customer, or material. Processing of batched orders can also
be made to run as background tasks to balance processing load.
