SAP Sales and Distribution

The order to cash cycle is where customer promises become revenue. We implement SAP Sales and Distribution so that sales orders, pricing, availability, delivery and billing run on consistent rules, giving sales reliable commitments and finance clean, timely revenue.

Order to cash with SAP Sales and Distribution, from pricing and availability through delivery and billing.

The business challenge

Complex pricing, discounts and rebates are hard to administer consistently, so margin leaks through manual overrides and errors that no one catches until the quarter closes. Customers receive invoices that do not match their expectations, and disputes slow collections.

Availability and delivery add further strain. Without reliable availability checking and credit control, sales commit to dates the supply chain cannot meet and ship to customers who should be on hold. The order to cash flow becomes a series of exceptions handled by email.

Our approach

We design pricing, output and credit so the rules live in the system and apply consistently to every order. Availability checking connects sales to real supply, so commitments reflect what can actually be delivered, and credit control protects the business without blocking good customers.

We streamline the flow from order through delivery to billing so documents reference each other cleanly and revenue posts accurately and on time. Integration with inventory and finance keeps the whole cycle consistent, turning order to cash from a source of disputes into a dependable engine.
