Q.No.11

Common Distribution Channel and Common Divison are maintained so that if any master data like customer or material maintained with respect to one distribution channel can be used in other DCh. It prevents the multiplication of master records.

Eg: A customer is created for say sales area 1000/20/00 then the same customer can be used in sales area 1000/30/00 if we maintain 20 as common distribution channel. Hence no need for extending the customers...the same for materials also.

As of what I know answer to question 5 would be:

5. we determine how the prices are calculated, taking into account sales area(sales org, distribution channel, division), document type and customer(generally sold-to-party).

The main differences between pricing procedures would be the differences as I mentioned above, from the point of view of field entries.

Coming to the output and the procedure, I suppose the condition types used will be different and hence the following whole procedure.

1. What is the purpose of text determination, account determination, partner determination, output determination, 
     storage location determination

Text determination: For transferring information from material or customer to order/delvery or invoice (and anything inbetween)

Account determination: For transferring financial and costing information to proper financial docs

Partner determination: For determing who is is legally resposible for A/r, who the goods are going to and whatever else you waana drive through this functionality.

Output determination: What kinda output does a sales/delivery/billing document create and who gets it, where?. For example A partner might get an EDI notification for a sales order just confirmed, whereas a financial/leasing company gets the invoice!

2. What are the five imp fields to be maintained in account determination

Go to IMG and find out

3. How to create excise invoice and what is it. 

I've never worked in india so I dunno

4. What is meant by transfer of data from legacy code to sap Legacy Code ? 

It should be legacy data to SAP. What it means is you want to transfer all the customer and materials and all other information from Older (legacy system) to new SAP system. You can do it using many tools, most noticeably MDMs.

Regarding q-3,

As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of manufactured goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report on fortnightly / monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose, which record all the transactions including movement of goods, cenvat credit available and cash balance available.

In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating, extracting and printing excise invoice.

1. (a) Text Determination: Any Texts in Masterial Master/Material Determination/Order/Delivery , etc is meant to convey messages to the subsequent documents for compliance. e.g. "Give Top Priority" message mentioned in Order is meant for Production Dept.

   (b) Account Determination:is integration between Finance and SD. The A/P along with Account Keys need to be allocated accordingly with combination of Account Determination Group for Customer and Material if required.

   (c) Partner Determination:To identify which type of Partner it is so that if required for same Customer different Partner Functions may be required e.g Only One Sold To Party per Customer. More than One Ship to Party/ Bill to Party/ Payer possible. Accordingly different Masters will have to be created. Useful for despatch of Material in casae of Ship to Party, sending Bill in case of Bill to Party and payment followup/Dunning in case of Payer.

   (d) Output Determination: What type of Output (Fax/Mail, etc) is required, where and in what Format(ABAP Customisation may be required in some cases especially Invoices).

   (e) Storage Location Determination: depends on Plant,  Shipping Point and Storage Conditions

(2) Account Determination: Sales View, Sales Organisation, Distribution Chanel, Chart of Accounts, Account Assignment Group for Customer and Material and Account Keys.

(3) I will check and let you know within week.

(4) Before installation of SAP, Data maintained by Company is called Legacy Data. At the time of instalation, it is required to transfer Data from Legacy to SAP like Masters (Material/Customer, etc). It can be done in various ways like BDC, LSMW, etc.

(5) Pricing is determined by combination of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel, Division, Customer Pricing Procedure and Document Pricing Procedure.

(6) Depends on Customer requirements.

(7) Its not clear.

(8) So that Shipping Point is determined automatically once the settings for the same are done.

(9) Copy Control: is basically meant so that Data is copied from preceding Document to subsequent one. What subsequent Document is required is to some extent determined by Customer Requirements as well as Document Types. e.g. In general case of Standard Order, it will be Copy Control (Order to Delivery) from OR to LF .

(10) Check for yourself in IMG (Sales Document types and Delivery Document Types)

What is the difference between the Avaialbility check 01 (Daily requirement) and 02 (Individual Requirement) in material master?

01 and 02 are the checking group. Availability check is carried out with the help of these checking group and checking rule. Checking group 01 and 02 are maintained on the material master. 

01 - Individual requirement -For this system generates transfers the requirement for each  order to the MRP .So that MM can either produce or procure.

02- Collective requirement.-In this all the requirements in aday or in a wek are processed at a time.  System stores all req and passes on to the MRP in MRP run.In this system performance is high however you can not do the backorder processing whereas in other you can do.    *-- Vishwajit
