Sales and Distribution helps to optimize all the tasks and activities carried out in sales, delivery and billing.The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. .
For example, you may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order
