Copy control and determination logic
Key SD config includes copy control (how data flows from order to delivery to billing) and the various determination procedures (pricing, output, revenue account, partner). These make the documents chain together correctly and post to the right accounts.
Configuration discipline
As always, SD config is built in DEV, transported through QAS to PRD, never changed directly in production. Enterprise-structure choices (sales orgs, channels) are foundational; pricing and account determination are the highest-effort, highest-value areas to get right.
Common pitfalls
- Broken copy control, data not flowing order→delivery→billing.
- Revenue account determination errors, billing fails.
- Poor enterprise-structure design.
