Introduction
Order-to-Cash (Third-Party Order Processing – Material)
Scenario Introduction
In the SAP Business ByDesign scenarios for subsidiaries of large
enterprises, a large enterprise (using SAP ERP) runs subsidiaries
(using SAP Business ByDesign) that act as sales offices or local
distribution centers. The subsidiaries sell products to customers
and buy them from the parent company. The products are stored
at and shipped from the subsidiary or the products are shipped
directly from the headquarters to customers.
The supported processes support a series of process steps

Typical Usage
SAP ERP Integration Scenarios
Procure-to-Pay (Stock) with SAP ERP Integration
The Procure-to-Pay (Stock) business scenario covers all aspects of procuring
items to stock. This includes SAP Business ByDesign activities from purchasing
based on a list price, automatic purchase request and order creation, inbound
logistics and journal entries. Sales orders in SAP ERP are created automatically,
outbound processing and the invoicing trigger are performed manually.
All available business documents are transferred and processed using the
Application Link Enabling (ALE) integration technology.
Third-Party Order Processing – Material with SAP ERP Integration
The sales representative enters a sales order into the system. In this case, the
sales representative decides to fulfill the delivery externally to save delivery time.
When the sales order is released, the SAP Business ByDesign system sends an
automatically created purchase order to SAP ERP. The subsequent activities are
similar to the first usage example.
The customer is billed via customer invoice processing and the supplier invoice is
posted (based on the terms) automatically.
