Intercompany RepairScenarioA subsidiary of a large enterprise running SAP Business ByDesign acts as a sales & service subsidiary. It has aservice desk which receives service orders from its end customers. Another subsidiary of the same largeenterprise/third party supplier acts as a service center and also runs SAP Business ByDesign.

When the service desk creates a service order and assigns it to service center, a purchase order for repair is createdautomatically , simultaneously a B2B message is triggered from the service desk to the service center. This B2Bmessage is received at the service center and a service order is created automatically. The service planner at theservice center then performs an analysis of the services to be done. He then updates the service order with plannedservices and spare parts and sends the confirmation of the order back to the service desk. This results in creation ofpurchase order confirmation (POC) at the service desk. When the POC is accepted the PO originally created at theservice desk will get updated accordingly with the acknowledged services and spare parts. The new items that getcreated in PO are then be communicated back to the supplier (service center) via B2B message so that Servicecenter can store the purchase order item references in its service order. Repair is done at the service center and aservice confirmation is created resulting in automatic creation of goods and service Acknowledgement at the servicedesk (via B2B Message). The service desk can then proceed to invoice the end customer.

Business ValueThe complete process of intercompany repair between service desk and service center can now be automatedresulting in minimum manual steps thus resulting in a faster service delivery cycle with greater accuracy.

Point­of­Sale Transactions IntegrationScenarioThis scenario enables businesses to perform sales transactions via multiple external point­of­sale systems. After thesales transaction or cash transfer has been finished in an external point­of­sale system (for example, after thecustomer has paid for the articles at the point­of­sale), transactional data is transmitted from the external system toSAP Business ByDesign. The transactions are saved and checked for consistency in SAP Business ByDesign (forexample, an inconsistency could be that the customer does not exist yet in the SAP Business ByDesign system). Ifthe transactions are consistent, they are automatically released to financial management and inventory processing.If they are inconsistent, the transactions must be corrected and released manually.

In addition, point­of­sale integration manages articles that are not inventory­managed (e.g. tickets for sports orother types of events) as well as inventory­managed articles (e.g.merchandising items). It also supports cash transfer from one petty cash to another (e.g. one petty cash is attachedto a POS device, the other one is the central safe)

The sales or cash transactions can be grouped in batches (for e.g. transactions between 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, 01­10­2013) which helps in verifying the complete and correct transmission of transactions from the external system bycross checking sales summary information and the individual transactions transmitted.

The sales or cash transaction screens in SAP Business ByDesign can also be configured to offer navigation to theexternal system and check the original transaction. The scenario also supports payments via cash, credit cards &

Order­to­cash (Third Party Order Processing by headquarter)ScenarioThis scenario covers collaboration within a corporate group where the subsidiary acts as a sales office and theheadquarter supplies the products. Associated subsidiaries act mainly as sales offices and sell these products ­often in different countries.

Within this scenario the headquarter (SAP ERP) is in the role of the supplier and does ship the requested productin time directly to the customer (third­party order processing). This means that the subsidiary does not necessarilyhas to perform inventory management.

The Subsidiary triggers a Sales Order (for End­Customer) that contains products for which the external fulfillment isusually provided by the Headquarter. An automatic Intercompany Purchase Order is created that triggers thecorresponding Intercompany Sales Order Processing at the Headquarter (using SAP ERP). The products orderedare then shipped from the Headquarter directly to the end­customer (of the subsidiary).

The supported process assists a series of process steps across two different parties based on preconfiguredbusiness­to­business (B2B) communication between SAP Business ByDesign and SAP ERP. The following B2Bmessages are exchanged: Purchase Order, Purchase Order Confirmation, Third Party Order Fulfillment notificationand Invoice. SAP ERP triggers Intercompany Supplier Invoices at subsidiary side , which in turn creates animmediate posting to Finance within SAP Business ByDesign. The data exchange is done using intermediatedocuments (IDocs) and the integration is enabled by the Material, Account and Contacts master data integration

Business Valuea) Automated collaboration between headquarter and subsidiariesb) Transactional focus providing fully­integrated business processes c) Reuse of customary business processes (e.g. procure­to­pay, third­party order processing, Order­to­Cash)
