Junior SAP SD Consultant Intern

Objective: For this task, you are required to simulate the initial phase of a SAP SD implementation by gathering business requirements and mapping the end-to-end sales processes. This task is designed to focus on planning and strategy. You will create a comprehensive documentation in a DOC file that details your assumptions, gathered requirements, process flows, and master data setup relevant to the sales distribution module.

Expected Deliverables:

• A DOC file containing a detailed business requirements document.
• Process maps or flow diagrams illustrating key sales processes.
• An analysis of master data requirements for a simulated organization.

Key Steps:

1. Identify and list core business processes involved in sales, from inquiry to delivery.
2. Research and define the requirements for master data, sales orders, deliveries, and billing.
3. Design process flow diagrams using available public data as a reference, ensuring clarity in each step.
4. Document assumptions, potential challenges, and recommended strategies.
5. Review established best practices in SAP SD planning and adapt them to your simulated scenario.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Completeness and clarity of the requirements document.
• Accuracy and relevance of the process maps.
• Logical structure and articulation of challenges and recommendations.
• Overall coherence, grammar, and formatting of the DOC submission.

This task should take approximately 30 to 35 hours of focused work. You are expected to use publicly available materials for reference and ensure that your final DOC file is well-formatted, self-contained, and clearly demonstrates your planning approach for a junior role in SAP SD consultancy.

Objective: In this task, your goal is to simulate the process of configuring the sales order processing functionality within a SAP SD environment. This task emphasizes hands-on execution and system configuration planning for a mock sales process. You will prepare a detailed DOC file that outlines configuration steps, necessary system settings, and a simulation scenario for order processing.

Expected Deliverables:

• A DOC file that includes a step-by-step guide for configuring sales order processing in SAP SD.
• Configuration diagrams and tables that depict the system settings.
• A simulated scenario narrative describing order creation, approval, and processing.

Key Steps:

1. Research the core components of the sales order process within SAP SD and identify customizable parameters.
2. Develop a simulated business scenario (e.g., a product launch or a promotional campaign) that involves diverse sales order types.
3. Create a detailed configuration guide, outlining the steps to set up document types, order types, and necessary pricing and tax determinations.
4. Include diagrams, tables, and flowcharts to enhance visual understanding.
5. Conclude with recommendations for best practices and potential pitfalls during configuration.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Detail and clarity of the configuration guide.
• Logical flow and practical applicability of the scenario.
• Visual aids quality and relevance.
• Overall document formatting, coherence, and adherence to task guidelines.

This exercise is expected to require between 30 and 35 hours of work, allowing you to demonstrate a deep understanding of sales order processing within a SAP SD framework.

Objective: The focus of this week’s task is to analyze and configure pricing, discounts, and billing processes in a SAP SD environment. You are required to deliver a comprehensive DOC file that details a simulated pricing strategy, discount approaches, and billing reconciliation process. This task emphasizes both analytical assessment and the tactical execution of configurations in the sales and distribution domain.

Expected Deliverables:

• A DOC file outlining detailed pricing configuration for a hypothetical company.
• Explanations of various discount techniques and their strategic importance.
• An analysis of billing and invoice creation scenarios, including challenges and solutions.

Key Steps:

1. Research different pricing models and discount strategies commonly implemented in SAP SD.
2. Draft a scenario that requires the application of multiple condition types, including price, discount, surcharge, and tax.
3. Detail the configuration steps for each element and describe how customized pricing conditions can affect billing and revenue recognition.
4. Create tables or flowcharts that illustrate the interrelation between pricing, discounts, and billing.
5. Conclude with a section that evaluates risks, potential errors, and recommended strategies for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Depth of analysis and comprehensiveness of the pricing strategy.
• Clarity of configuration instructions and descriptions of discount mechanisms.
• Quality and utility of visuals and process diagrams.
• Overall presentation, structure, and adherence to task requirements.

This task is estimated to take roughly 30 to 35 hours and requires a detailed exploration of the pricing and billing aspects within a SAP SD context, ensuring that your DOC submission is clear, systematic, and insightful.

Objective: The final task simulates a complete order-to-cash cycle within a SAP SD framework. The goal is to evaluate the entire lifecycle from order placement to cash receipt, emphasizing testing, evaluation, and improvement recommendations. You will compile your findings in a DOC file that includes process simulation, test case documentation, and a comprehensive evaluation report.

Expected Deliverables:

• A DOC file containing a simulation of the order-to-cash process.
• Detailed test cases, including setup, expected outcomes, and troubleshooting steps.
• An evaluation section providing analysis on process efficiency, potential risks, and recommendations for process improvement.

Key Steps:

1. Create a realistic business scenario that includes the stages of sales order creation, shipping, invoicing, and payment receipt.
2. Develop detailed test cases covering all major touch points within the order-to-cash cycle.
3. Implement a process flow diagram that maps every stage from order inception to cash application.
4. Analyze the simulation outcomes to identify areas of improvement and risk factors.
5. Document your recommendations and findings, ensuring that your evaluation supports strategic decision-making in a SAP SD context.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Clarity and detail in the simulation narrative and test case documentation.
• Quality and comprehensibility of process diagrams.
• Analytical depth in the evaluation and recommendation section.
• Adherence to the task guidelines, document formatting, and overall submission quality.

This task, estimated at 30 to 35 hours, is critical for synthesizing your knowledge across various SAP SD components and demonstrating your capability to analyze, simulate, and optimize business processes using a structured approach. Your final DOC file should be self-contained, thoroughly detailed, and reflective of your understanding as a Junior SAP SD Consultant Intern.
