I n t r o d u c t I o n T his book provides a deep, working understanding of the essential concepts and cus- tomization settings related to the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) application. SD is one of the most popular modules of the SAP ERP software and indeed the most interesting one to implement. Over the years, we have worked on a variety of projects ranging from global imple- mentation, support, upgrades, acquisition and mergers, rollouts, and integration. We’ve had the opportunity to study the business requirements of different indus- tries and the best practices in customizing SAP to meet different challenges. Our goal was to bring the knowledge that we acquired during those projects to you through this book. Who Should Read This Book As the title implies, this book is intended for people who want to learn how to con- figure the SAP Sales and Distribution application. Whether you are a beginner who wants to make career in SAP as a SAP SD consultant, a business analyst from the IT/IS extended team of your organization, a member of the project implementation team responsible for implementing SD, a production support team member respon- sible for supporting the Sales and Distribution module after implementation, an experienced consultant from another SAP module who wants to learn SAP SD, or an experienced SAP SD consultant who wants to learn what’s new in ECC 6 or how to handle some other functionality, you will find valuable information in this book related to customizing SAP SD. If you are new to SAP, the learning curve can be steep. In this book, we tried to reduce that learning curve by providing easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and case studies from a fictitious company called Galaxy Musical Instruments Inc. 404737flast.indd 15 2/23/10 12:14:13 PM

x v i i n t r o d u c t i o n How This Book Is Organized You can use this book in several ways. The most straightforward way is to start at the beginning and proceed chapter by chapter. We have logically ordered the chap- ters according to the processes in a standard sales cycle. Each topic covers the pre- requisite configurations before discussing how to configure a new submodule. We start with the basic concepts and travel all the way through to some very advanced configuration topics and techniques by the end of the book. If you already have con- figuration experience, you can skip around from chapter to chapter and follow the step-by-step instructions for a topic of interest in its individual chapter. How Is This Book Different? This book is different from others on the market in the following ways: The book covers the functionality offered by SAP in the latest version: ECC 6.0. f It provides an overview of enhancement packages, which are the SAP road f maps for delivering innovations in the coming years. It illustrates all the concepts with a real-life case study that runs through all f the chapters of the book. This provides a cohesive picture of how a real-life organization can leverage SD to meet its requirements. It contains important tips, useful notes, and helpful links to other resources, f such as SAP Service Marketplace (OSS) notes, where applicable. What’s Inside Here is a glance at what’s in each chapter: Chapter 1: Introduction to Sales and Distribution Gives you a brief overview of the SAP SD application and familiarizes you with the bare-minimum basics that you need to know before you step up to the next chapters. Chapter 2: Enterprise Structure Brings you to the customization world and provides easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions to help you set up your own SAP 404737flast.indd 16 2/23/10 12:14:13 PM
