Hello Tom,
Cash sales and Rush orders are currently not supported in S4HC. Below is a possible workaround for Rush Order scenario that has been adopted by one of the customers. Hopefully this will give you some ideas. Please bear in mind that I have considered one assumption here – the item is set as not relevant for picking in the delivery document.
Initial set up:
• Schedule automatic creation of Outbound deliveries using app ‘Schedule Delivery Creation’ – This scheduled job can be set to recur at a minimum of every 1 min. There are several selection parameters available such as sales area, material, material group, sales group etc. to limit this scheduled job only to relevant sales documents.
• Schedule automatic goods issue using app ‘ Schedule Goods Issue for delivery’ – Here again you can set the recurrence pattern and also set additional selection parameters such as loading point, shipping conditions.
• Schedule automatic creation of billing document – using app ‘Schedule Billing Creation’ (Optional) – Similar to above two schedule jobs, you can set this up as well however in the initial post go-live phase I would advise against automatic creation of the billing documents. Over a period of time once your master data and processes are streamlined you may consider this option. If you decide to use this schedule job then instead of using the sales order confirmation output form , invoice form can be assigned to sales order. This can be done using scope item 1LQ(Output Management).
Business Process:
Step 1. Create sales order for one-time customer. You can manage your prices, discounts, surcharges, taxes here. Save once document is complete. A custom invoice form template can be assigned to sales order that can be set to print immediately.
The subsequent process of creation of delivery document and goods issue will automatically take place as defined in the scheduled job.
The invoice is generated either manually or via a scheduled billing job.
Please be aware
• There will be difference of at least 1 min from the creation of sales order to creation of delivery document. This is because the recurrence pattern of the scheduled job can be set to a minimum of 1 minute. Due to this lag available-to-promise stock will be updated after every 1-2 mins.
• This process requires continuous/regular monitoring of the scheduled jobs to check for failed transactions.
Regards,
Sarab
