Project Title

Implementing SAP in Alstom & its application at ALSTOM T&D INDIA LIMITED, Naini,
Allahabad.

Objective

The objective of the project is to study the understanding how support the sales order cycle
at ALSTOM T&D INDIA LIMITED, Naini Works. The project covers all the process &
procedures involved in Sales order creation & forwarding to Naini. The buyer & seller rarely

 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

Project is about working on the sales and distribution module (SD) of the SAP. The project is
about to study the understanding how SAP supports the sales order cycle at ALSTOM
T&D INDIA LTD. Naini works .This project cover all the procedures and forms used in
forwarding the sales order from Naini and step by step details of it. A long list can be
drawn of the document used in trade .the buyer and seller rarely meet the conditions
of sales are included in the contract of sales which incorporates in detail the team of the
contract.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

By specializing in software development. SAP hopes to provide a better value to

corporations then they could if they attempted to develop and maintain their own
applications many large corporations use several different and separate information system
other because they have merged with and/or acquired other companies with varied
system . an ERP system integrated these separate information system and result in
improved data reliability and processing efficiency.ERP system are not only used by large
corporation but becoming popular with small to midsized companies also:

The R/3 software package is designed to allow businesses to effectively and efficiently
operate a variety of business processes within a single integrated information system.

SAP R/3 is very versatile as it will operate on six different platforms including the recently
added Microsoft NT.

R/3 also provide for a “single data entry point “ where data entered from any location is
instantly sent to all other appropriate modules in the ERP system.

 INTRODUCTION TO SAP

Introduction to SAP(System application and products in data processing)

SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employee in mannheim Germany states that it is
the world’s largest enterprise software company and the world fourth largest independent
software suppliers ,overall .The original name for SAP was german :
systeme,Anwendungen,produkte and german for “ System Application And Products”. The
original SAP idea was to provide customer with ability to interact with a common
corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications .gradually the applications
have been assembled and today many corporations including IBM and Microsoft are using
SAP product to run their own businesses.

In 1973 the SAP R/1 solution was launched .six year later ,in 1979 SAP
launched SAP R/2 .In 1981 SAP brought a completely re-designed solution to market .
with the change form R/2 to R/3 in 1992 in 1992 SAP followed the trend from
mainframe computing to client server architectures. the development of SAP internet
strategy with my SAP .com redesigned the concept of business processes (integration via
internet).SAP was awarded Industry Week’s best Managed companies in 1999.

SAP R/3 is arranged into distinct functional modules ,covering the

typical functions in place in an organization. The most widely used modules are:

• Financials (FI)
• Controlling (CO)
• Human Resource(HR)
• Materials Management (MM)
• Sales & Distribution(SD)
• Production Planning (PP)
• Quality Management (QM)

SAP R/3 is a client/server based application, utilizing a 3-tiered model –

1. Presentation layer – those SAP R/3 component that specialize in interacting with
end user from the presentation layer.

2. Application layer - those SAP R/3 component that specialize in processing business
application from the application layer.

11 | P a g e
3. Database layer - those SAP R/3 component that specialize in management, storage
and retrieval of data from the data base layer.

SAP R/3 functionality is structured using its own proprietary language called
ABAP(Advance Business Application Programming) .ABAP or ABAP/4 is a fourth generation
language(4GL).geared towards the creation of simple yet powerful programs. R/3 also offer
a complete development environment where developer can either modify existing SAP
code to modify existing functionality or develop their own functions whether reports or
complete transactional system within the SAP framework

SAP IMPLEMENTATION STRUCTURE

Following steps are followed in case of price variance

40 | P a g e
 • Create a respective order like ZNDO, ZNDX e.t.c.
• Create a Price Variance order with reference to the Previously created order
• Billing of ZPVN is done as there is no need of Outbound Delivery and PGI because
there is no goods movement

The price of the material remains changing time to time according to the IEEMA so it is
possible that there is variation in price of any material at different times. To handle this
situation a different type of sales order called Price Variance is created which indicates the
difference between the two prices at different times.

 CONCLUSION

Through our study of SAP implementation of Sales & Distribution module following points
were understood:

Basic SAP implementation as Company code, Sales Area & Division.

Function of Sales & Distribution module at ALSTOM.

Various process involved in Sales & Distribution process.

Understanding of sales order related, delivery & billing related processes.

Understanding of various order type & their significance.

This implementation provides flexibility to change, an easy mechanism to track the sales &
distribution process. It helps in tracking the conditions of the order & also to analyse at the
time of final delivery whether conditions have been fulfilled. This helps to better coordinate
activities & easily trace out errors.
