VBAK: Sales Document(Header Data) (VBELN)
VBAP: Sales Document(Item Data) (VBELN,POSNR,MATNR,ARKTX,CHARG)
Enquiry, Quotation, Sales Order are differentiated based on Doc.
Type(VBTYP field) in VBAK,VBAP Tables( for Enquiry VBTYP = A,
for Quotation 'B' & for Order it is 'C'.)
Delivery(Picking, Packing, Post Goods Issue and Shipment)->
Company sends the material after picking it from Godown and Packing it in a Handling Unit(box) and
Issues the goods
LIKP: Delivery Table (Header Data)(VBELN,LFART,KUNNR,WADAT,INCO1)
LIPS: Delivery Table (Item Data)(VBELN,POSNR,WERKS,LGORT,MATNR,VGBEL)
(LIPS-VGBEL = VBAK-VBELN, LIPS-VGPOS = VBAP-POSNR)
Billing - Also company bills to the customer for those deliveries
And in FI against this billing Accounting doc is created.
VBRK: Billing Table(Header Data)(VBELN,FKART,BELNR)
VBRP: Billing Table(Item Data)(VBELN,POSNR,FKIMG,NETWR,VGBEL,VGPOS)
(VBRP-AUBEL = VBAK-VBELN, VBRP-VGBEL = LIKP-VBELN)
Apart from these tables there are lot of other tables which starts with
‘V’, but we use the following tables frequently.
MM Cycle:
Purchase Requisition-> STaff in an orgn places Pur requisition for want of some goods/products -
ME51
Request for Quotation(RFQ)-> The Purchase dept in the orgn calls/requests for the quotation for the
products against which PR was raised. - ME41
Vendor Evaluation->After receving the RFQ's, after comparison a Vendor is finalised based on the
terms and conditions.
Purchase Order(PO)-> Pur order was issued to that vendor asking him to supply the goods/products
-ME21N
Goods Receipt Note(GRN)->Vendor supplies the material/Products to the orgn-
MB01
Goods Issue (GI) -> People receives their respective itesm for which they have placed the
Requisitions
Invoice Verification-> ALong with the Material Vendor submits a Invoice for which the Company Pays
the amount - .MIRO
Data to FI -> data will be posted to FI as per the vendor invoices

MM Process flow:
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and
control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The
regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point
method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can
enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials
planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
12/11/13 regarding sd/mm flow | SCN
scn.sap.com/thread/825783 3/7
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and
existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for
quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of
different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create
a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system
generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System,
types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints
reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of
all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By
specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified
of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This
speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

Link Between SAP SD, MM & FI
The link between SD and MM :-
1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of
MM.
2. MRP and availibility check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD
also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order,the shipping point
determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This
also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your
sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM.
Now the link between SD and FI :-
1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in
the bacgground. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the
customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits
some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.
2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note,
credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI
3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM

Configuration:
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions,
such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with
reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core
team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to
maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to
required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new,
copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales
Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to
create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line:
Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new,
copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type.
Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy
as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales
Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
Note: Ensure that Copy Control settings are done
Sales Order to Sales Order (QT --> OR): VTAA
Sales Order to Delivery (OR --> LF): VTLA
Sales Order to Billing (OR --> F1): VTFA
Delivery to Billing(LF --> F2): VTFL
Billing to Sales Order (F2 --> RE): VTAF
The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

Re: regarding sd/mm flow
Hi,
SAP Sales and Distribution Processing Document Flow
Document Flow in Sales
The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of
inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system.
The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The
customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with
reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the
customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with
reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents – the inquiry, the quotation, the sales
order, the delivery, the invoice, and the subsequent delivery free of charge – creates a document flow
or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes
problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help
you to plan and control your sales.
