The process is very well explained in the above reply.

Pl explain this O2C cycle functionally. not in SAP.Thanks

Are you trying to learn the business process in SAP related forums? You can ask for unique business processes which every one may not come across in their domain experience. Please donot try to learn basic business processes from these forums.

To my knowledge the Order To Cash is also called as OTC and not O2C.

Thanks,

Mr.Ravi,

Ofcourse this forum is for learning purpose and what is wrong with my question? When you do not feel like sharing your so called knowledge, why do not you refrain from answering this question and pave way for others?

It is not fair on your part to demotivate people.

Thanks,

Sorry, but this is an SAP Expert forum and you will get SAP related answers here.

You also need to read the forum rules (at the top of the forum page) and do some independent research (or training) and then ask more detailed questions.

If everyone could load their interview questions into SDN, then the forums would be flooded and quality contributions would be lost - particularly if folks answer them over and over and over again.

Hope you understand - latest after reading the forum rules.

Thread locked.

Hi Pallu,

It is not fair on your part to demotivate people.

My intention is not to demotivate anybody. Normally members ask for mapping a business scenario in SAP and not about the business process in real time business. Especially you are asking the basic busniess process. I strongly believe that this is not he right place for such questions. Even asking basic questions related to SAP is also not allowed here in this forum. If you do so, moderators will lock your thread.

Thanks,

Hi Pallu,

The order to cash is followed when a product is sold to customer directly. The process involves in creating a inquiry for a specific product by a customer, which is followed by a quotation by many vendors. once a comparision of quotations are done by the customer the customer selects a particular vendor (goods suplier) to fullfill his material requirement. Later they create a value based contract or quantity based contract (a value based contract specifies that the customer will be suppling 10000 pc of contract within a period similarly a value based contract is like saying the vendor will supply goods worth 1000$ with in the contract period ). release orders/Sales orders will be created following the contracts. followed by delivery of goods. Invoce will be generated and sent to the customer.

hope this helps,

Hi Pallu,

The process will follow teh below steps

Inquiry ( VA11 )

Quotation ( VA21 )

Sales order ( VA01 )

create outbound delivery ( VL01N )

create transfer order ( LT03 )

confirm transfer order ( LT12 )

Shipment creation (VT01N)

Shipment cost creation (VI01)

Post goods issue delivery ( VL02N )

create Billing Doc ( VF01 )

Post billing to accounting ( VF02 )

You can start a O2C cycle from creation of sales order-> delivery-> Transfer order -> -

---

Billing documnet creation.
