With this app, you can monitor all the materials in a selected area of responsibility. This includes collective requirements materials, make-to-stock and make-to-order materials, and materials for direct procurement. You are provided with a list of all materials with a net requirement segment or individual planning segments, which considers the following planning segments:

• Net segment - planning for the whole MRP area
• Individual customer segment - using sales order stock
• Individual project segment - using project stock
• Segment for direct production planning - with direct creation of planned orders
• Segment for direct procurement planning - with direct creation of purchase requisitions

The system calculates the requirements for each segment separately. The materials of these planning segments might have coverage issues according to a specified shortage definition. The shortage definition you choose contains a set of rules that the system uses for calculating the material shortages. These rules define the scope of the shortage calculation, meaning the supply and demand elements to be considered and the conditions that have to be met to be a relevant shortage. You can use the default filters Time till Shortage, Material, andIndividual Segment to narrow down the scope of your list.

This app provides you with the information that you need to be able to react to the shortage situation on time, meaning that you can avoid disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. From this app, you can directly navigate to the Manage Material Coverage app to view details of the selected materials and check different solutions.

• Select an area of responsibility.
• Select a shortage definition depending on how you want the system to calculate the material shortage.
• Narrow down the scope of the material list by using the Time till Shortage filter as well as other filters.
• View a material list according to the selected shortage definition as well as other selection criteria.

• Save your personalized variants as tiles on your home page from which you can access this Monitor app or directly navigate to the respective Manage app.
• View details of selected materials and check different solutions in the Manage Material Coverage app.
• Find which shortages you accepted in the Manage Material Coverage app.
• Revoke the acceptance of shortages to process the materials in the Manage Material Coverage app again and find solutions.

Purchase orders (POs) are used for many different processes in procurement. POs can be used for procuring items internally (for example, from one plant to another), or externally (for example, direct consumption, stock, services). POs can also be used for subcontracting, third-party, and consignment processes. POs can be created with reference to a purchase requisition, request for quotation, contract, sales order, or another purchase order.

In the document overview of the Create Purchase Order - Advanced app, you can display different purchasing documents (for example, POs, requisitions, supplier scheduling agreements) on one side of the screen, and process requisitions or POs on the other side of the screen.

With this app, you can monitor the progress of production. You have an overview of the current situation with all the information you need to resolve any issues. For example, if a particular order is delayed, you can navigate to the details to see at a glance why the order is delayed - perhaps there are missing components or there is a quantity deviation. You then have the information you need to take immediate action to resolve the issue and to keep your production processes running as smoothly as possible. If necessary, you can also temporarily block production by placing an order or material on hold. You can specify a reason code and note for the delay. Then, once the issue has been solved, you can release the hold.

• Select an area of responsibility.
• Narrow down the scope of the order list with additional filters.
• View a table of orders according to your selection criteria.

Material staging refers to transferring material from the storage location where it currently resides to the production storage location. This can also be referred to as the "pull list". The pull list determines which components a production line needs and when and where these components must be available. The system assumes the components required for production have already been produced in-house or procured externally, and are now available to be transferred from their current storage location or bin to the production storage location. The pull list checks the stock situation at the production storage location and calculates the quantities of missing parts.

The Stage Materials for Production app enables you to execute material staging based on the following input information:

• Planned Orders
• Production/Process Orders
• Planned/Production/Process Orders
• Entry with BOM Explosion

After the production order is released, the order is ready for picking. Only the materials that are not in the service stock at the assembly aisle are to be picked. You can use the Pick Components for Production Orders app to call up the correct picking list based on the production order number.

With this app, you can partially or completely confirm production operations. You can enter produced quantities including scrap or rework, edit material movements including splitting quantities between batches, and specify durations for activities for the selected production operation.

• Select a production order and a related production operation for processing.
• Record quantities for yield, scrap, or rework.
• Select a reason for variances from planned quantities.
• Get an overview of all materials used for the production operation.
• Edit a material used in the production operation, for example the storage location or the quantity to be confirmed.
• Consume materials from various batches and split quantities between batches.
• Add and confirm unplanned materials.
• Enter information on activities that have been defined for the work center, such as setup, machine, and labor times.
• Enter a note with additional information.
• Confirm the production operation partially or completely.

You use this procedure to confirm unplanned materials used during the production operation. When you partially or completely confirm the production operation, the original unplanned materials are confirmed.

1. Choose Add Material.
2. In the Add Material dialog, enter the unplanned material with the plant and the corresponding storage location. Enter the quantity of the material used.
3. For batch-managed material, you can enter a batch number.
4. Confirm your entries.

With this app, you can create outbound delivery runs from a list of sales orders. This app also allows you to display logs with information related to your sales orders or deliveries. For example, if errors occur while you are creating deliveries, the system issues a message to the log. Similarly, the system issues a message to the log if you successfully create a delivery.

• Search for sales orders due for delivery using basic filter options. You can also search using additional filter options.
• Sort your table entries by ascending or descending and then select the filter option you want to sort by.
• Personalize your table columns.
• Create outbound deliveries from sales orders.
• Display a log that provides you with information about the delivery run that you have created.
• Use the Save as Tile option to create a personalized tile on the launchpad. This tile will display a fixed snapshot of your current selection criteria. For example, if you filter by the date option Today, your personalized tile will only display the number of documents that are relevant for that specific day, because the current date selection is stored as a fixed date.

With this app, you can display and process completed and open outbound deliveries at various stages of delivery processing. You can get tailor-made worklists based on your area of responsibility and on the way your shipping department is organized. This app allows you to perform specific steps as standalone activities, for example, picking, verifying and confirming picking data, and posting goods issue. It also enables you to perform various steps in a certain sequence over the duration of your workday.

• Search for outbound deliveries using basic filter options. You can also search using additional filter options.
• Sort your table entries by ascending or descending and then select the filter option you want to sort by.
• Personalize your table columns.
• Navigate to the Pick Outbound Delivery app to perform the picking step.
• Post goods issue for one or multiple outbound deliveries.
• Reverse goods issue postings for one or multiple deliveries.
• Use the Save as Tile option to create a personalized tile on the launchpad. This tile will display a fixed snapshot of your current selection criteria. For example, if you filter by the date option Today, your personalized tile will only display the number of documents that are relevant for that specific day, as the current date selection is stored as a fixed date.

After the goods issue is posted for delivery, the advance shipping notification is automatically sent to the buyer's system. An optional step is to use the Display Outbound Delivery app to verify the confirmation has been successfully delivered.

With this app, you can create billing documents (for example, invoices and credit memos) from items in the billing due list. This includes debit memo requests, sales orders, deliveries, and other sales and distribution (SD) documents. You can also generate temporary billing documents that you can review before converting them to final billing documents.

You can search for items in the billing due list as follows:

• Search using basic filters.

  You can filter by document number, document category, and sold-to party. You can also filter for all billing due list items created before and including a certain date.

• Search using additional filters.

  • You can add additional filters to the filter bar and filter by sales organization and billing type (for example, invoice). You can also filter by customer project or issue (for example, when the system indicates that there is a problem with a billing document), and by many other filter criteria.

  • You can show and hide the filter bar. You can save your filter settings and restore the original settings.

  • You can also search by entering the document number, customer name (sold-to party), customer ID, customer project, or other attributes into the search field.

You can make the following view settings:

• Select the columns that you want to display.
• Sort the displayed data by one or more data types (for example, by customer number).
• Group the data (for example, by customer project).
• Use page variants to save and load custom filter and column layouts that you have created. Values that you have set in filters are also saved. You can share saved variants with other system users.

You can make billing settings so that the system does the following automatically when you create billing documents:

• Enter billing date and type before billing.

  If you enable this setting and choose to create billing documents, the system requests a billing date and the required billing type before creating billing documents.

• Create separate billing document for each item of billing due list.

  If you enable this setting and choose to create billing documents, the system creates separate billing documents for each item of the billing due list that you have selected.

• Automatically post billing documents.

  The system automatically posts all billing documents that you create to accounting and triggers output (for example, an invoice by e-mail). Note that if you do not choose to automatically post billing documents, you must manually post your billing documents using the Manage Billing Documents app.

• Display billing documents after creation.

  • The system generates and displays temporary billing documents for the SD documents that you have selected for billing. You then have the option to save or discard them. Saving converts them to final billing documents, while discarding them returns you to the billing due list.

  • When two or more temporary billing documents are displayed, you can perform a split analysis by choosing the split analysis button. If you are viewing two temporary billing documents, this will compare the documents with each other.

  • If you are viewing more than two temporary billing documents, you are prompted to choose a temporary billing document that you would like to compare to the one that is currently selected on the left-hand side of the screen.

  • The system then shows a comparison of the differing header fields and business partner fields that caused the split. This comparison can help you understand why the system was unable to combine the billed SD documents into a single billing document. In general, any differing SD document header and business partner fields cause a split.

You can select one or more items in the billing due list to create billing documents for them. The system uses your billing settings during billing document creation. After you have created billing documents, you can manage your billing documents using the Manage Billing Documents app.

Note

If you can't work with all types of documents that are displayed, please check your roles and authorizations.

To display details of any SD document (for example, credit memo request, delivery, or sales order) in the billing due list, choose the corresponding document number. This displays the corresponding SD document's object page.

To display customer data, choose that customer's name in the list. This displays the corresponding customer object page.

With this app, you can manage invoices, invoice cancellations, credit memos, and other billing documents. This includes displaying, editing, posting, and canceling billing documents. You can also review why a billing document split has occurred and generate PDF-based print previews of billing documents.

You can search for billing documents as follows:

• Search using basic filters: You can filter by status to show billing documents that are completed, incomplete, to be posted, or canceled. You can also filter by customer (sold-to party), billing type, and billing date.
• Search using additional filters: You can add additional filters to the filter bar and filter by document category (for example, invoice, invoice cancellation, credit memo, and others), sales organization, document number, payer, issue (for example, a billing document problem with account determination), and many more criteria.
• You can show and hide the filter bar. You can save your filter settings and restore the original settings.
• You can also search by entering the document number, customer name, customer ID, and other attributes into the search field.

You can make the following view settings:

• Select the columns that you want to display.
• Sort the displayed data by one or more data types (for example, by customer number).
• Group the data (for example, by customer project).
• Use page variants to save and load custom filter and column layouts that you have created. Values that you have set in filters are also saved. You can also share saved page variants with other system users.

When billing multiple sales and distribution (SD) documents together, any differing SD document header and business partner fields cause the resulting billing document to be split into two or more billing documents. You can perform a split analysis by selecting two billing documents in the list and choosing the split analysis button. The system then shows a comparison of the differing header fields and business partner fields that caused the split. This comparison can help you understand why the system was unable to combine the billed SD documents into a single, collective billing document.

Example: You bill two outbound deliveries with the same billing date that are intended for the same customer. Therefore, you expect both deliveries to be combined into a single invoice. The system, however, creates two separate invoices, and you want to know why this split occurred. You perform a split analysis on the two invoices. The analysis reveals that the deliveries were fulfilled by two different sales organizations, which means that they cannot be combined into a single invoice.

You can select multiple billing documents to display them simultaneously. In this case, the system enables you to quickly navigate between the selected billing documents. Once a billing document is displayed, you can view and change information as follows:

Note

To change information, you need to enter editing mode.

You can view and edit the billing date. You can view company information, a unique reference for the billing document, payment terms, incoterms, and billing document issues (for example, a problem with account determination).

You can view the item ID, material, quantity, net value, tax amount, and total amount.

You can view pricing elements such as the condition type, base amount, and calculated amount. An indicator shows when a pricing element is inactive. When a condition is used for statistics or when a price has been changed manually, this is also indicated here. The statistical indicator is selected when a surcharge or discount has been set in the document statistically (that is, without altering the net value). The system automatically determines the statistical setting based on the pricing procedure

You can view the role, name, and contact details of business partners.

The process flow provides a graphical overview of the chain of connected process steps and the corresponding business documents (document flow). For example, you can see the status of a sales order, whether it has been marked as relevant for shipping, and whether an invoice has been created.

In editing mode, you can add texts. You can set the language of your text and the text type (for example, a billing instruction for a colleague or a billing note for your customer).

In editing mode, you can add attachments by uploading files or adding URLs. You can edit the name displayed for attachments and delete the attachments.

You can view the status of output items (for example, an output item in preparation for sending). You can choose the dispatch time (for example, immediately). You can choose the output type (for example, invoice). You can choose the recipient and channel (for example, e-mail or print). You can also choose the form template used for your output item. The system displays the creation date and time, indicating when output items were created. You can also display a preview for each output item (for example, a customer invoice in PDF form).

You can send output and resend output. If you have sent output manually and want to change its status in the system, you can choose to manually set the status to completed. You can view the status of the output items in the application log.

When you are simultaneously viewing two or more billing documents in detail, you can perform a split analysis by choosing the split analysis button.

• If you are viewing two billing documents, this will compare the documents with each other.
• If you are viewing more than two billing documents, you are prompted to choose a billing document that you would like to compare to the one that is currently selected on the left-hand side of the screen.

The system then shows a comparison of the differing header fields and business partner fields that caused the split. This comparison can help you understand why the system was unable to combine the billed SD documents into a single billing document. In general, any differing SD document header and business partner fields cause a split.

When you post billing documents, the system forwards the billing document to accounting and triggers output (for example, a customer invoice PDF sent by e-mail).

When you cancel billing documents, the system creates cancellation billing documents (for example, an invoice cancellation).

Note

Depending on your role, you may not have authorization to work on all of the displayed documents.

To display a summary of a billing document's details, choose its document number in the list. This will display the corresponding billing document object page.

To display customer data, choose the customer name in the list. This will display the corresponding customer object page.

You can use the Custom Fields and Logic app to extend the following business contexts:

• Sales: Billing Document
• Sales: Billing Document Item

You can enable usage of your custom fields for the app in the UIs and Reports section of the custom field maintenance and publish the custom fields.

You can add fields to the following UI elements:

• General Information (on document level)
• General information (on item level)

Business users can display fields that you have enabled in the Custom Fields and Logic app. The fields that you enable for this app are included in the personalization options for business users for the following UI elements:

• Billing document list
• Billing document items (on document level)

When using this app to view a single billing document in detail, business users can edit custom fields on billing document level, but not on the item level. All fields that are shown on the item level are read-only. To edit custom fields on item level, open the Change Billing Documents app and go to the Custom Fields tab in the item details.

As a key user, you can extend the following Adobe® output form templates according to your business needs:

• Customer Invoice Standard Form

You can extend custom email templates (that is, copies of the Billing Document Default Email Template) with custom fields created in the Custom Fields and Logic app for the business context Sales: Billing Document.

Whenever you create a custom field, the field usage is enabled automatically for all your email templates. You can check this in the Custom Fields and Logic app under Email Templates.

In the Maintain Email Templates app, select your custom email template and add your custom field to the template by entering its technical name.

Note

The Maintain Email Templates app displays only the first 100 available fields for your template. Therefore, you have to know the technical name of your custom field. You can see the first part of the technical name of your custom field in the Identifier column in the list of custom fields in the Custom Fields and Logic app. Add the suffix _SDH so that it follows the following format: YY1_<Name of your custom field>_BDH.

  • Status Held: You can navigate to the supplier invoice. You can choose the Edit function, and you can change the data and simulate, hold, or post the supplier invoice.
  • Status Draft: You can navigate to the supplier invoice. You can complete the detail data and simulate, hold, post, or discard the supplier invoice. Supplier invoices with the status Draft are sent out by suppliers using the Business Network.
  • Status Draft (Personal): Supplier invoices with the status Draft (Personal) are created whenever you start entering an invoice with the Create Supplier Invoice tile. In the supplier invoice list, the supplier invoices with status Draft (Personal) are only displayed for your user. The status Draft (Personal) allows you to open the invoice draft in several views at the same time.
  Note

  If an SAP Ariba invoice is too complex, you cannot use the Create Supplier Invoice app to post the invoice. If the Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced app is available, you can create and post the invoice in this advanced app. Then, you can use the Create Supplier Invoice app to confirm that the SAP Ariba invoice already exists. To do this, choose Confirm and enter the invoice number of the previously posted invoice.

Note

The Supplier Invoice views belong to the Manage Supplier Invoices app.
