CASE STUDY CASE STUDY Sales and Distribution (SD) This case study explains an integrated sales and distribution process in detail and thus fosters a thorough understanding of each process step and underlying SAP functionality. Product S/4HANA 1809 Global Bike GUI 7.50 Level Beginner Focus Sales and Distribution Authors Bret Wagner Stefan Weidner Version 3.3 Last Update May 2019 MOTIVATION The data entry requirements in the sales & distribution exercises (SD 1 through SD 5) were minimized because much of the data was stored in the SAP system. This stored data, known as master data, simplifies the processing of business transactions. In the sales order process, we used master data for customers, materials (the products we sold) and pricing to simplify the sales order process. In this case study, we will create the master data for a new customer. PREREQUISITES Before you use this case study, you should be familiar with navigation in the SAP system. In order to successfully work through this case study, it is not necessary to have finished the SD exercises (SD 1 through SD 5). However, it is recommended.
