  • This video explains how to create a new sales order for services using the Fiori app Manage Sales Orders. The sales order is created using a service product, which, unlike physical products, is not relevant for delivery.

    Begin by opening the app from the Fiori Launchpad.

    After the app opens, press the Create button.

    After clicking the button to create a new sales order, a pop-up window appears. In this window, enter the Sales Order Type, the Sales Organization, the Distribution Channel, and the Division. These values may already be defaulted based on your personal settings, but if they are not, select the correct values. After entering these details, click Create.

    The system then opens the full sales order entry screen where you can start inputting the required data.

    Select the correct Sold-to Party. You can start typing the customer's name, and the system will propose relevant matches.

    When the Sold-to Party is selected, the system automatically proposes the Ship-to Party using the customer's business partner master data. Additional customer-related fields such as Payment Terms, Delivery Terms, and Currency are also automatically populated based on the customer’s business partner master data.

    Enter the customer’s purchase order reference number into the Customer Reference field.

    Next, move to the Items section by clicking the Items tab and add a new sales order item. For services, use a Service Product.

    Enter the requested Quantity using the unit of measure of the service product, which in this case is hours.

    After entering the order quantity, select the Requested Delivery Date. For services delivered over a longer period, this date can indicate the first day when the service provision will begin.

    After pressing Enter, you can see that the Service Item is automatically selected as the Item Category.

    Next, let's review the item-level details of the service product by clicking the arrow button next to the item line. The system opens the full details of the item.

    Under the Schedule Lines tab, you can confirm that the Schedule Line Category is “Without Delivery,” which is standard for services.

    Under the Prices tab, you can see that a Net Unit Price was automatically selected for the service product. The pricing is based on the sales condition values maintained for the service.

    Let’s add a discount for this service by using an item-level discount condition. To add a new condition, click the Create button.

    Select the relevant discount Condition Type and click Create.

    Enter the relevant discount amount or percentage and click Enter.

    After entering the discount, the system automatically recalculates the net price for the item.

    Click the Apply button to move back to the header-level sales order data.

    After reviewing all details to ensure they are correct, click the Create button to finalize the new sales order.

    The system generates a new sales order number, confirming that the order has been successfully created.
