ii

The Creating and Planning Service Orders business process enables your service department to create a service order when a customer calls requesting the repair or maintenance of a product. Alternatively, a service employee monitors incoming service requests and creates a follow-up order when services or spare parts are required on-site, at your own service center, or at the service center of a supplier.

Your service employee creates a service order with relevant details such as the account, affected product, location of service provision, order priority, the services and spare parts required, and related expenses that might result from the service execution, for example travel to the customer. After the order is planned, an order confirmation is sent to the customer and the order released for follow-up processes.Service employees track and monitor all processes involved in service delivery directly from the service order.

The Dispatching and Scheduling Orders business process enables a service employee to assign an order, either manually or automatically to the responsible service performer and execution team/supplier. He or she can then schedule the service performer by creating a follow-up appointment for the sales or service order. This can be done either centrally by the service employee or decentrally by the service performer. The order can be scheduled taking the order priority, availability, or other aspects such as service levels and route optimization into account.Finally, the service employee releases the order for execution. Once this is done, the service performer can print and/or download the list of orders to be executed as well as the details for each order before heading out. In addition, the service performer can display the appointments in a calendar view within the SAP Business ByDesign system or in a groupware client such as Outlook, if groupware integration is active.

The Processing Receivables and Payments business process enables the processing of incoming payments, initiated either internally by your company or externally by your customers. The process uses country-specific payment methods.

Payments can be made manually, or automatically via a payment run in which the system proposes open items for payment. You then release the payments and the system posts them to accounting. You create the payment medium, either manually or as part of an automatic run, using files for direct debit or credit card payments. It is also possible to upload credit card statements to pre-confirm payments. When the payments are credited to the company's bank account, the bank statement is entered in the system, either uploaded electronically or entered manually, before being confirmed. If payments are initiated externally by the customer, the bank statement provides notification of payment. The payments are matched in the system to the open invoices before being cleared.

Confirming Service Execution - With a Service Confirmation

Click here to display process variants

Document work, track actuals and release a service confirmation

i

The Confirming Service Execution business process enables the service performer to complete the job, after executing a service, by reporting back actual times and spare parts as well as travel expenses, for example. The service confirmation document is also used to record additional information about the work performed, the root cause of a product problem, warranty information, or feedback with the aim to increase product quality.If the location of service provision is your own service center, or if there is unplanned consumption, the service performer processes a goods activity confirmation for spare parts. This enables him or her to trigger a goods issue directly for the related logistics area without having to trigger the outbound delivery process. For service provided at a supplier’s service center, the actual service and spare parts consumption in the confirmation is taken from the goods and service acknowledgement.After the service confirmation document has been released, the system automatically triggers customer invoicing and passes necessary information to Cash Flow Management to calculate the costs-of-service, and also to Inventory Management to adapt the inventory level in case of spare part consumption. For fixed price services, where there is no service confirmation, completion is confirmed directly in the sales or service order and the follow-up processes triggered from the order.

Creating Customer Invoices

The Processing Inbound Delivery Notification business process comprises the creation and use of inbound delivery notifications (IDNs). An IDN represents a delivery coming from outside. It can either be an ASN (advanced shipping notification) or a printed delivery note accompanying the physical goods. Creating an IDN is mandatory for customer returns, parts returns, and stock transfers and optional for the supplier deliveries. Based on an IDN the inbound processing can always be done with or without tasks. You can process inbound deliveries with inbound delivery notifications with or without task support from the system.

The Processing Inbound Delivery business process enables you to process the products received into a warehouse and post them to stock. You can use the following inbound delivery types: supplier delivery, customer return, parts return, and stock transfer. You can process your inbound deliveries with or without an inbound delivery notification and with or without task support from the system. For supplier deliveries, you can use an inbound delivery notification or you can directly refer to the purchase order in the Post Goods Receipt screen.Based on your logistics model settings, a quality inspection can be created automatically. The incoming goods can then be stored in a specially designated area (for example, quality inspection stock).

The Processing Receivables and Payments business process enables the processing of incoming payments, initiated either internally by your company or externally by your customers. The process uses country-specific payment methods.

Payments can be made manually, or automatically via a payment run in which the system proposes open items for payment. You then release the payments and the system posts them to accounting. You create the payment medium, either manually or as part of an automatic run, using files for direct debit or credit card payments. It is also possible to upload credit card statements to pre-confirm payments. When the payments are credited to the company's bank account, the bank statement is entered in the system, either uploaded electronically or entered manually, before being confirmed. If payments are initiated externally by the customer, the bank statement provides notification of payment. The payments are matched in the system to the open invoices before being cleared.
