Customers information is stored in Fanous to enable invoice creation for on-the-spot sales. There are instances whereby sales to a customers HQ will be delivered to another location. Currently in ABCE, there are no sales to employees, duty free customers, or export customers. Cash customers Customers are only sold based on cash sales. ABCEs sales representative will collect cash during sales visit and deliver the cash to the cashier in the warehouse at the end of the day. There are currently approximately 30,000 cash customers. Cash customers can be divided into retailers and wholesalers. Credit customers Customers are sold only based on cheques and credit. ABCEs sales representative will collect cheques or cash owed from previous visit during current sales visit. Each customer has a specific credit period and credit limit, and customers account balance is controlled by ABCEs account receivable department, that tracks the payment due dates via the Debtors Aging report. Credit terms to customers are 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, and 180 days. There are currently approximately 1,000 credit customers.

3 Sales and Distribution Business Processes 3.1

BUSINESS REQUIREMENT

ABCE captures all domestic sales and sales returns via Fanous. All handheld sales by sales representatives are created as invoice documents, with payment received in the form of cash or cheques. Cash sales average 5000 per day and credit sales averages 100 per day. There are currently approximately 200 sales reps in ABCE. On a daily, twice weekly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis, sales reps will make sales visits to customers. At this time, sales are entered directly into the handheld system. During sales visits, the following occurs: 1. Sales rep takes the order from the customer. 2. Invoice details are entered into the handheld. 3. An Invoice is printed and given to customer. 4. If it is a cash customer, sales rep will collect the cash. 5. If it is a credit customer, sales rep will issue an invoice and obtain customers signature. Cash or cheques are collected on due dates. 6. Products are delivered to the customer. At the end of the sales visit day, sales rep will go back to the depots and dock their handheld systems to download all sales information into RP32. They will also deliver the cash collected from customers to the cashier in the warehouse. Post-dated cheques received from credit customers are treated as payment to clear off invoices. This will immediately reduce the customers outstanding credit exposure. Sales reps will bear all discrepancies between stocks and cash receipts. A cash sale to sales reps will be created to offset the discrepancies. All returns of stocks will be entered into Fanous as returns invoice. A Credit Note will be issued to customers for the stocks returned. Stocks returned by one customer may be sold to another customer if it is still good stock. Damaged stocks will be transferred to a damage warehouse location and will be written off and destroyed. ABCE has 300 to 400 returns per year. There is no requirement for credit or debit note processing. The following are variations on the standard sales process: Sales of combo-packs For sales of cigarettes with promotional items, e.g. radios, by law, the radio must be sold and cannot be issued free. Merchandizing materials will be sold at a loss. In Fanous, the issues of combo packs are as individual items in the same invoice. The merchandizing items are entered as service items. Service tax of 10% is included in the sales price for merchandizing items. Price Discounts A sales price with taxation will be charged, and a discount will be applied. The taxation applied is Sales Tax, Health Tax and Add-On Tax. The difference between Actual Sales Price to customer and Standard Sales Price is the price discount provided to customer. FOC Discounts FOC discount is a quantity of stocks given to customer free of charge. FOC items will be given to customer together with standard items sold in an invoice. Taxation for FOC items is to be expensed to brand spend.

Service Contract FOC ABCE also issues FOC cigarettes to customers as part of the service contract terms. In the handheld system, cigarettes will be issued together with a service item that acts like a non-stock return to negate the total price of the cigarettes (material price plus taxes). The service item in Fanous is created as a material with a material code. This scenario is only applicable for Kent and Rothmans brands. Taxation for Service Contract items is to be expensed to brand spend. Staff Issues For cigarettes allowance to staff, stocks are transferred to a FOC warehouse and issued out. Adjustments to stock balances are adjusted at period end. Sales of Cooperation Brands Viceroy is a co-op brand which is being sold via the handheld system. The following is the current process of co-op brands: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. EC issues stocks to ABCE ABCE receives stocks into FG Warehouse Transfer stocks from FG Warehouse to depots Transfer stocks from depots to vans Sales reps create Co-op Invoice in Fanous

In the Co-op Invoice, the price of the materials include excise. Both ABCE brands and Viceroy is in the same invoice.

3.2

BUSINESS BLUEPRINT

A standard sales and distribution process consists of the creation of sales order, delivery order, and billing order. Each order creation in SAP is by using different document type. Each document generated will have unique SAP document number assigned. All document numbers are internally assigned by the system.

3.2.1 TYPES OF BUSINESS PROCESSES

3.2.1.1 OTB (Order to Billing )Sales Process

Sales to domestic customers will be made directly into Fanous, the handheld system by ABCEs sales reps. On a daily basis, the sales information in Fanous will be interfaced into SAP. OTB sales process is depicted in figure below.

Figure 3-19 OTB Sales Process Sales invoices are placed into Fanous at the time of sales reps visits to customers. On a daily basis, sales information will be interfaced into SAP A daily ABCch Run will be scheduled in SAP to trigger the OTB process with the sales information received. SAP will automatically create sales orders, create delivery orders, perform goods issue, and generate invoices Cash sales will be consolidated by customer group type wholesaler or retailer and sales district. These sales will be interfaced to SAP and be created as one sales order for cash customer type per depot. Sales to credit customers will be interfaced individually. The Incoming Payment process will clear all invoices with payments received.

Variations in OTB Sales Process:

3.2.1.1.1 Sales of combo-packs

Merchandizing items in a combo pack will be interfaced into SAP as individual items. A generic set of service materials will be created in SAP to represent different merchandizing materials. In the sales order, item price and item value will be interfaced in from Fanous. No pricing will be maintained for merchandizing items in SAP.
3.2.1.1.2 Price Discount

Both Standard Sales Price and Actual Sales Price will be interfaced in from Fanous. The difference between Standard Sales Price and Actual Sales Price is treated as a price discount and post according to accounting.
3.2.1.1.3 FOC

In the interface file from Fanous, there will be an indication to identify FOC items in an invoice. The Actual Sales Price for FOC items is set as zero. All taxation for FOC items will be expensed to brand spend.
3.2.1.1.4 Service Contract FOC

In SAP, cigarettes will be interfaced from Fanous with prices. The service item will be mapped into SAP as a service material. The price of the service material will be equalled to the price of the cigarettes plus all taxes. Taxation will be expensed to brand spend.
3.2.1.1.5 Staff Issues

Staff allowances will be issued out from warehouse in SAP via IM module. Manual journals will be created to expense out the cost of the materials.
3.2.1.1.6 Co-operation Brand

Sales of ABCE brands (Rothmans & Kent) and Viceroy will be in 1 invoice. However there is no sales tax in the pricing for Viceroy, as sales tax is included in Viceroys price. ABCE pays EC when stocks are transferred from EC to ABCE. Customers will pay ABCE and ABCE will invoice EC for 50% of the marketing expenses and other charges, and a share of the JV profit via the AR module. 3.2.1.2 OTB Stock Return Process Returned stocks from retailers will be part of the information received from Fanous. Returns will be created as a returns order and during goods receipt posting, the returns stocks will be received into either unrestricted stock or blocked stock in the respective storage locations. A credit for returns will be posted to customers account. Sales Tax, Health Tax and Add-On Tax are reclaimable from the tax authorities for stock returns. Returned stocks received back into blocked stock may be transferred accordingly to unrestricted stocks if stocks can be resold or scrapped if damaged. OTB Stock Return process is depicted in figure below.

Figure 3-20 Stock Return Process Return orders are placed into Fanous at the time of sales reps visits to customers. On a daily basis, this information will be interfaced into SAP A daily ABCch Run will be scheduled in SAP to trigger the OTB process with the returns information received. SAP will automatically create returns orders, create return delivery orders, perform goods receipt and generate credit memo for returns The Incoming Payment process will clear all invoices with credit given to customers.

In Fanous, there will be an indication of whether a return is of good stocks or of damaged stocks. There will be 2 return order types created in SAP to cater for return of good stocks and return of damaged stock. At post goods receipt of good stocks, stocks will be received into unrestricted stock type, and damaged goods will be received into blocked stock type.

3.2.2 DOCUMENT TYPES AND NUMBER RANGES

In SAP R/3, each process is described by using different document types. Each document generated will have specific number assigned to it. The following are the sales order, delivery order, billing document types defined in SAP for ABCE and the SAP system number ranges assigned. All document numbers are internally assigned by the system. Order Types description.
