<b>Sales Organization</b>: A Sales Organization is an organization responsible for sale of products and services. Within a sales organization, you can define your own master data. This allows a sales organization to have its own customer and material master data as well as its own conditions and pricing. You assign sales offices and your own employees to a sales organization. A sales organization belongs to one company code..

<b>Business Blueprint</b>: Business Blueprint is a phase in ASAP Methodology.

The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The Business Blueprint document represents the business process requirements of the company. It is the agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System.

Requirements reviewed for each SAP Reference Structure item and defined using CI Templates (in the Q&Adb). Business Blueprint - This is the output of the Q&Adb and is the key document for Phase 3 i.e Realization.

<b>When do we require the functional Specifications?</b>

Functional specs are required to give the specification to abaper for the development required. In functional specification, we provide the details such as table & field names, table links, logic how to derive what data & so on ...

Hi Farhan,

The Structure of Sales Org, differs from client to client. Its purely client specific.

But normally the structure containes, Sales Org, Distribution Channel, Division, Sales Group and Sales Office.

Tolerance groups:

Tolerance groups represent amounts or percentages by which receivables may be underpaid or overpaid.

Amounts and percentage values for tolerances relating to underpayments and overpayments of receivables are defined in a tolerance group.

Business Blue Print;

Business Blue print is understanding the clinets business completley. While we are implementing SAP to any client, first we have to understand their business completely so that we can map accordingly in SAP system. So, after understanding their business, we will prepare a document called as Busines Blue print. While is nothing but AS Is study.

Functional Specification:

To speak at macro level that is at projet manager or at senior levels. The Functional Spec (Specification) which is a comprehensive document is created after the (SRS) Software Requirements Document. It provides more details on selected items originally described in the Software Requirements Template. Elsewhre organizations combine these two documents into a single document.

The Functional Specification describes the features of the desired functinality.. It describes the product's features as seen by the stake holders,and contains the technical information and the data needed for the design and developement.

The Functional Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particulat area that is to be precise a transaction in SAP terminology.

The Functional Specification document to create a detailed design document that explains in detail how the software will be designed and developed.

The functional specification translates the Software Requirements template into a technical description which

a) Ensures that the product feature requirements are correctly understood before moving into the next step, that is detchnical developement process.

b) Clearly and unambiguously provides all the information necessary for the technical consultants to develop the objects.

At the consultant level the functional spects are preapred by functinal consultants on any functionality for the purpose of getting the same functinality designed by the technical pepole as most of the times the functionalities according to the requirements of the clients are not available on ready made basis.

Let me throw some light on documentation which is prepared before and in a project:

1) Templates

2) Heat Analysis -

3) Fit Gap or Gap Analysis

4) Business Process Design

5) Business Process Model

6) Business Change & Impact

7) Configuration Design, which is just 5 % of Total SAP- have different names -

😎 Future Impact & Change Assessement

9) Functional Design (Module Wise)

10) Risk Assessement

11) Process Metrics and Many More-- Which has impact on Business and its work flow

Hope this is helpful.

REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Hello Faran,

Company code: The smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for purposes of external reporting. The includes the recording all relevant transactions and generating all supporting documents required for financial statements.

Plant: Organizational unit within Logistics, serving to subdivide an enterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning.

A plant is a place where either materials are produced, or goods and services are provided.

Sales Organisation: Organizational unit within Logistics which structures the company according to its sales requirements.

A sales organization is responsible for selling materials and services.

Distribution Channel: Channel through which saleable materials or services reach customers. Typical distribution channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales. You can assign a distribution channel to one or more sales organizations.

Division: An organizational unit based on responsibility for sales or profits from saleable materials or services.

Tolerance is Accepted deviation from specified values.

In other words Time span within which the actual date deviating from the planned date of a maintenance package does not affect subsequent scheduling (Plant maintenance).

Tolerance groups:

Tolerance groups represent amounts or percentages by which receivables may be underpaid or overpaid.

Amounts and percentage values for tolerances relating to underpayments and overpayments of receivables are defined in a tolerance group.

Business blueprint:

The purpose of this phase is to create the Business Blueprint Document, which is a detailed documentation of business processes and other objectives identified during the requirements workshop. You also use the Business Blueprint to define the Baseline scope and refine the original goals and objectives and the project schedule.

The purpose of this document is to verify that a proper understanding of requirements has been communicated. This document also finalizes the detailed scope of the project.
