15 modules
40–50 hours
Interview prep every module
01Introduction to SAP SD & Order-to-Cash Overview8 topics
Establishes business context before system work. Freshers who skip this consistently struggle in interviews and on live projects.
- Role and scope of SAP SD in an enterprise
- Overview of the Order-to-Cash process
- Key SD sub-modules: Sales, Shipping, Billing, Credit Management
- Integration of SD with FI and MM
- Types of SAP SD projects: implementation, support, rollout
- SAP Fiori apps relevant to SD
- SAP Activate implementation methodology
- System landscape: DEV, QAS, PRD
Interview note — The Order-to-Cash cycle: sales order → delivery → goods issue → billing → incoming payment. Revenue posts at billing, not goods issue.
02Enterprise Structure in SAP SD7 topics
Without correct configuration and linking to the FI enterprise structure, no sales transaction can run and no revenue can post.
- Sales Organization as the legal selling entity
- Distribution Channel — how products reach customers
- Division for grouping products or services
- Sales Area as the combination of all three
- Plant as the delivery location
- Shipping Point for delivery execution
- Assignment of SD elements to Company Code
Interview note — Sales Organization + Distribution Channel + Division = Sales Area. The Sales Area is mandatory for every sales order.
03Customer Master Data in SAP SD6 topics
In SAP S/4HANA, customers are managed through the unified Business Partner concept. Four partner functions control every sales transaction.
- Business Partner concept for customer management
- Customer account groups and their control functions
- Partner functions: Sold-to, Ship-to, Bill-to, and Payer
- Customer master views: General Data, Sales Area Data, Company Code Data
- Number ranges for customer master records
- Reconciliation account assignment for AR postings
Interview note — Sold-to places the order. Ship-to receives goods. Bill-to receives the invoice. Payer makes the payment. These can be the same or different business partners.
04Material Master Data for SD6 topics
Specific SD views control how a material is sold, priced, delivered, and billed. SD consultants must own these views precisely.
- Material master structure and SD-relevant views
- Sales Organization and Distribution Chain views
- General Plant Data and Storage views
- Item category group and loading group
- Sales unit of measure configuration
- Material master creation using MM01
Interview note — The item category group drives item category determination in sales documents. Without correctly maintained SD views, materials cannot be added to sales orders.
05Sales Documents: Inquiry, Quotation & Sales Order8 topics
The standard Order-to-Cash flow: Inquiry → Quotation → Sales Order. The Sales Order is the central document in SAP SD.
- Sales document types and their configuration
- Inquiry creation using VA11
- Quotation with reference to Inquiry using VA21
- Sales Order creation with reference to Quotation using VA01
- Header and item level data in sales documents
- Schedule lines and confirmed quantities
- Document flow and copy control
- Incompletion procedure for sales orders
Interview note — Sales Order is a legally binding purchase confirmation. Every subsequent step — delivery, goods issue, billing — depends on it.
06Pricing Procedure in SAP SD7 topics
Pricing is not manually entered. It is controlled through a Pricing Procedure — one of the most heavily tested SD interview topics.
- Condition technique in SAP SD
- Condition types: price, discount, freight, tax
- Access sequences and condition tables
- Pricing procedure configuration and step sequence
- Pricing procedure determination
- Condition records using VK11
- Manual price override and pricing analysis
Interview note — Condition type defines the element. Access sequence defines the search strategy. Pricing procedure defines the sequence and calculation logic for all condition types.
07Delivery Processing in SAP SD7 topics
Goods Issue reduces inventory and triggers the cost of goods sold posting in Finance — mandatory understanding for any SD consultant.
- Outbound delivery creation using VL01N
- Delivery document types and item categories
- Picking and transfer order creation
- Packing functionality
- Goods Issue posting and its accounting impact
- Delivery scheduling and route determination
- Shipping point determination
Interview note — Goods Issue transfers ownership to the customer and posts COGS. Revenue posting happens at BILLING — not at goods issue.
08Billing in SAP SD7 topics
Billing generates the accounting document posting revenue and creating the customer receivable. Final SD step in Order-to-Cash.
- Billing document types: invoice, credit memo, debit memo, pro forma
- Billing creation using VF01
- Billing due list for mass billing
- Accounting document generated at billing
- Revenue account determination
- Credit and debit memo processing
- Invoice cancellation
Interview note — At billing: Debit customer receivable, Credit revenue account. Revenue account determined automatically via revenue account determination configuration.
09Credit Management in SAP SD5 topics
Automatically checks credit limit during sales order processing and blocks exceeding orders — a daily activity on real projects.
- Credit control area configuration
- Credit limit assignment to customer master
- Static and dynamic credit checks
- Credit block and release using VKM3
- Integration with sales order processing
Interview note — Static check = open receivables vs limit. Dynamic check = open receivables + open orders + undelivered sales vs limit.
10Returns, Credit Memos & Complaints5 topics
Accurate reversal of revenue and inventory — structured through returns orders, return deliveries, and credit memo processing.
- Returns order creation with reference to billing
- Return delivery and goods receipt posting
- Credit memo request and credit memo processing
- Debit memo processing for undercharging
- Subsequent free-of-charge delivery
Interview note — Returns Order → Return Delivery (goods back to stock) → Credit Memo (revenue reversal). Each step follows correct document flow with full traceability.
11Special Sales Processes5 topics
Third-party, intercompany, consignment, cash sales — all heavily discussed in real SD interviews.
- Third-party sales process and document flow
- Intercompany sales process
- Consignment: fill-up, issue, returns, pickup
- Rush order and cash sales processing
- Outline agreements: contracts and scheduling agreements
Interview note — In third-party sales, saving the order auto-creates a purchase requisition. Vendor ships directly to customer. Company never handles goods physically.
12Output Determination & Correspondence5 topics
SAP SD generates order confirmations, delivery notes, and invoices through output determination using the same condition technique as pricing.
- Output types for sales, delivery, and billing documents
- Output determination using condition technique
- Output condition records and transmission methods
- Print preview and output processing
- Email, EDI, and print output channels
Interview note — Output type defines document format. Access sequence finds condition records. Condition record defines when and how output is triggered.
13Availability Check & Transfer of Requirements5 topics
SAP checks stock availability at sales order creation and passes demand to Materials Planning for timely replenishment.
- Availability check configuration and checking rule
- Checking group assignment in material master
- Confirmed quantity and alternative delivery date
- Transfer of requirements to Materials Planning
- Backorder processing
Interview note — Checking rule defines which stock types and receipts are considered. Confirmed quantity and date appear in the schedule line of the sales order item.
14SAP SD Reporting & Analysis6 topics
SAP S/4HANA enables real-time analytics through embedded Fiori apps for business-ready reporting.
- Sales Information System reports
- Sales order list and open order reports
- Delivery list and billing document reports
- Customer sales analysis
- SAP Fiori analytical apps for SD
- Document flow analysis and status monitoring
15End-to-End Order-to-Cash Simulation7 topics
Capstone module — customer inquiry to payment collection. Full process competency exactly as required on a live project or client demo.
- Customer inquiry and quotation creation
- Sales order creation with pricing from condition records
- Availability check and delivery scheduling
- Outbound delivery, picking, and Goods Issue
- Billing and revenue posting verification in FI
- Incoming payment posting in Accounts Receivable
- Full document flow: Sales Order to Payment
Interview note — Walk through O2C: sales order → delivery & goods issue → revenue posting at billing → payment clearing in AR. Confirm customer open item is cleared after payment.
