ByDesign : Treatment of Demo Matter Handling in Sales

[former_member402814]

Hello Experts,

It's a very common scenario in which Demo Material goes & come back to company after Demo Completion.

There is no Invoice created for this.

How to handle this scenario in ByDesign, please explain....

Thanks, Vishal Kambare.

Hello Experts,

Any workaround other than suggested below?

Hi Vishal,

I don't think there is any standard business process specific for handling demo materials in ByD.

As a workaround, and I don't know if this idea works for you, you can always think of creating product ID with 0$ standard cost ( to avoid financial impact - Q : are these items part of the asset ledger or not ? ) and when the materials go out, you do a goods movement into a specific logistic area that means "Unavailable".

Someone will then be able to query the stock overview and see what is available or not.

You can also think of several variants :

- Use specifications if you have materials that look alike but you don't want to create extra product ID

- Use Serial Number : if you have serialized materials that you want to keep track of...

- Create multiple logistics area (ex: per employee, so you know who's gone with it), maybe restricted ones.

Hope this helps !

Thanks,

Andréanne

Hi Andreanne,

Thanks for input.

1. Logistic area movement do not create DC (we need printout of Material going out)

2. If we use Warehouse Transfer, From & To Address is our owned address (doesn't solve purpose)

3. Returnable date / notification is not provided in above scenario

4. Same goods are used in Trading, Sales & Demo hence cannot create another goods with 0 value

5. Identification Stock ID / Serial Number / Logistics Area is not useful in this scenario...

Demo is basic requirements in many industries!

As SAP is leading ERP provider, ByDesign team should have delivered this requirement up-till now.
