We are a company for security technic and engeering in this field. Furthermore we implemented "SAP-Business by Design" some mouth ago. Therefore we didn't get much experiances in doing daily work with this ERP-solution, yet.

Ok here the description of the issue:

We want to develop a new "product". Right now the product doesn't exist. I know it's natural in R&D processes.

The plan is to create an R&-project in the system to save all cost and working times of all involved employees and departments. So far we got it.

The problem:

The "new poduct" is already ordered by the customer and he is waiting for an sales order confirmation. This confirmation is normally created after making a new sales order. But in this case we can't do this because it seems that it is required to add a product to an sales order. Ok, this sounds logical, but the product doesn't exists.

Is there any possibility to create a sales order from a new project or to create an sales order including an project (propartely some task of the project instead of a product?

And last but not not least, how are the steps to come to this target?

Thank a lot in advance
