SD: Pre-Sales Activities (CRM Light)

• Sales Support is a component of SD that assists in the sales,
distribution, and marketing of a companies products and
services to its customers. It contains the following functionality:
– Creating and tracking customer contacts and communications
(sales activity)
• Phone call records
• On-site meeting
• Letters
• Campaign communication
– Implementing and tracking direct mailing, internet, and trade fair
campaigns based on customer attributes
• Pre-sales documents need to be managed within the presales
activities: Inquiries and Quotations. These documents help
identify possible sales related activity and determine sales
probability.

SD: Pre-Sales Activities (CRM Light)

• The ultimate goal of all pre-
sales activities is to equip
the sales technician with all
the information necessary to
negotiate and complete the
potential sale.
• Information needed:
– Past sales activity
– Past communication
– Contact information
– General Company info
– Credit limits and usage
– Current backorders

• 360º view of your customer


SD Process: Inquiry

• An inquiry is a customer’s request to a company for
information or quotation in respect to their products
or services without obligation to purchase.
– How much will it cost
– Material/Service availability
– May contain specific quantities and dates
• The inquiry is maintained in the system and a
quotation is created to address questions for the
potential customer.


SD Process: Quotation

• The quotation presents the
customer with a legally
binding offer to deliver
specific products or a
selection of a certain
amount of products in a
specified timeframe at a
pre-defined price.


SD Process: Sales Order

• Sales order processing can originate from a variety of
documents and activities
– Customer contacts us for order: phone, internet, email
– Existing Contract
– Quotations
• The electronic document that is created should contain the
following basic information:
– Customer Information
– Material/service and quantity
– Pricing (conditions)
– Specific delivery dates and quantities
– Shipping information
– Billing Information



• The sales document is
made up of three primary
areas:
– Header
• Data relevant for the entire
sales order: Ex: customer data,
total cost of the order
– Line Item
• Information about the specific
product: Ex: material and
quantity, cost of an individual
line
– Schedule Lines
• Uniquely belongs to a Line
Item, contains delivery
quantities and dates for partial
deliveries



• The sales order contains all of the information
needed to process your customers request, the
following information is determined for each sales
order:
– Delivering Schedule
– Shipping point and route determination
– Availability Check
– Transfer of requirements to MRP
– Pricing
– Credit limit check


Sales Order: Delivery Scheduling

• When an order is created the you must enter a
requested delivery date for the order or each line
item.
• The system will then determine a delivery timeline,
this will be used when determining our material
availability, or ATP (Availablity to Promise) date.
• The system will determine this date using forward
and backward scheduling rules you have defined.

Sales Order: Shipping & Route Determination

• During the creation of the sales order the system must
determine the shipping point from which the material will be
shipped and the route the material will take to get from your
warehouse to your customers location.
• A shipping point is determined for each line item within the
order.
• The route determination will is used to define the transit
time of the material that we used in scheduling.


Sales Order: Availability Check

• Availability Check
– Determines the material
availability date
– Considers all inward and
outward inventory
movements
• Proposes 3 methods of
delivery
– One-time delivery
– Complete delivery
– Delayed proposal

• Rules are created by YOU


Sales Order: Transfer to Planning

• The order is transferred to Material Requirements Planning
as an (CIR) Customer Independent Requirement. If a
deficit is found the system will propose a Purchase Req. or
Order to fulfill the shortage.


Sales Order: Pricing

• The system displays pricing information for all sales
documents on the pricing screens at both the header and
the line item level.
– Header pricing is valid for the whole order it is the cumulitive of all
line items within the order
– Line item pricing is for each specific material.
• The system will automatically search for price, discounts,
surcharges, calculate taxes and freight. You have the
ability to manually manipulate the pricing at both the header
and line item level within the sales order by entering a
condition type and amount.
– Taxes and freight can be set-up so we can’t manually enter.


Sales Order: Credit Check

• Allows your company to manage its credit exposure and risk for each
customer by specifying credit limits.
• During the sales order process the system will alert the sales rep about
the customers credit situation that arises, if necessary the system can
be configured to block orders and deliveries.


SD Process: Shipping & Transportation

• The shipping process begins when you create the
delivery document for the sales order. This
document controls, supports, and monitors
numerous sub-processes for shipping processing:
– Picking
– Packing

Finance (FI) modules
