Shipping Notification)
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order
along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically
creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification, after which a statistical goods receipt is posted. The incoming invoice from
the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the
vendor.
Sales Order Processing: Sale from Stock
This scenario describes the entire process sequence for a standard sales process (sale from stock) with a customer. The business
process encompasses all the steps between creating an order to the clearing of a customer account after payment is received.
The process starts with the creation of a customer's standard sales order. Depending on the customer and the material, various
special events take place during the order entry, such as customer/material pricing, insertion of applicable discounts, checking the
availability of the materials, and checking the customers credit history.
It is checked whether enough material exists in the required storage location. If not, a stock movement takes place then the picking
slips are generated to the warehouse clerks to stage the product for shipment to the customer.
Once picked, the physically shipped quantity has to be registered in the system to ensure that there are no differences between the
sales order and the delivery document. If there are actual differences, they can also be documented which ensures correct postings.
After the completion of picking, the warehouse clerk will have to systematically review the inventory. This review of the inventory is
the actual recording of the physical quantity that is being shipped to the customer, allows the recording of the cost of goods sold in
financial accounting.
Once the inventory has been reviewed, the delivery can be invoiced and the revenue together with the cost of goods sold recorded
in management accounting. This step signifies the end of the business transaction within Sales and Distribution.
