Week 1

Sales & Business Partner

  • Map the end-to-end order-to-cash flow and label where each of the five exam domains appears

  • Explain how partner determination procedures in sales documents decide which partner functions are required versus optional

  • Differentiate the four standard sales document categories (inquiry, quotation, order, contract) by purpose and document flow behavior

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn order-to-cash diagram with partner roles and document categories labeled, plus a 15-question self-quiz scored at 80% or better

Week 2

Sales

  • Distinguish sales document types by their reference behavior and number ranges, and state which control fields drive copying

  • Explain how item categories are determined from document type plus item category group, and predict the item category for given material master settings

  • Describe schedule line categories and how they drive delivery scheduling and availability transfer

  • Trace a complete document flow from inquiry through quotation, order, delivery and billing and name the controlling fields at each handoff

  • Configure the logic of an incompletion procedure and list three completion criteria you would enforce on a standard order

Your checkpoint

A written matrix of five sales document types with item category, schedule line category and copying requirements, validated by a 25-question Sales-domain quiz at 75% or better

Week 3

Pricing

  • Explain the condition technique architecture and the role of each of its seven elements

  • Build a pricing procedure from scratch on paper: steps, counters, condition types, and calculation bases

  • Differentiate condition types by category (base price, discount, surcharge, freight, tax) and by calculation type

  • Explain access sequences and predict which condition record a system selects given a sequence of tables and requirement routines

Your checkpoint

A complete written pricing procedure with at least 8 steps, each annotated with condition type, calculation type and access sequence

Week 4

Pricing & Sales

  • Explain how pricing procedures are determined for a sales area and document type, and list the fields that can restrict the determination

  • Trace how condition exclusion groups resolve competing condition records

  • Describe pricing-relevant special cases: condition supplements, group conditions, and header versus item conditions

  • Explain how the pricing date and exchange rate are determined and where they are configured

  • Diagnose three common pricing errors and state the configuration object to inspect for each

Your checkpoint

A troubleshooting checklist covering five pricing failure modes, each mapped to a configuration object, plus a 30-question Pricing quiz at 80% or better

Week 5

Billing

  • Differentiate billing types by reference document, and explain invoice date and posting date derivation rules

  • Explain how billing plans (milestone and periodic) generate dates and how they interact with billing due list

  • Describe the billing due list and how a collective billing run selects and processes documents

  • Trace the copying controls from delivery to invoice, naming which fields come from the header versus the item

Your checkpoint

A one-page comparison of four billing types showing reference document, copying requirements and date rules

Week 6

Billing & Delivery

  • Explain the relationship between goods issue, billing, and the resulting financial postings in a standard flow

  • Describe how billing document cancellation and reversal work, including which document determines the reversal posting

  • Explain settlement of a billing plan and the difference between an invoice-related and a delivery-related billing scenario

  • Identify the account determination dependencies that cause billing to fail and state the diagnostic path

  • Describe credit memo and debit memo request processing as it flows into billing

Your checkpoint

A six-step written trace of one delivery through goods issue, invoice creation and reversal, with the affected document numbers and postings listed

Week 7

Delivery

  • Explain delivery document types and how delivery item categories are determined from the sales order item

  • Describe the availability check: checking group, checking rule, scope of check, and the difference between confirmed quantity and requested quantity

  • Explain picking, packing and goods issue posting, and what blocks a delivery from being goods-issued

  • Trace how delivery splits occur and which criteria drive them

  • Describe shipping point determination and the organizational fields it depends on

Your checkpoint

A written availability-check flow from checking group and rule through confirmed quantity, plus a 20-question Delivery quiz at 80% or better

Week 8

Sales & Pricing & Billing & Delivery & Business Partner

  • Integrate the five domains by tracing two full scenarios: a standard order with discount and freight, and a returns order with credit memo

  • Re-test every weak area flagged in earlier quizzes and close each gap to 80% or better

  • Memorize the configuration node path for each domain so you can locate any setting within three steps

  • Explain the five most commonly confused concept pairs (item category vs. item category group, billing type vs. billing plan, condition type vs. condition record, checking rule vs. scope of check, partner function vs. partner role)

Your checkpoint

Two full written end-to-end scenario traces plus a 60-question mixed mock exam scored at 85% or better
