SAP SD
SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) is the SAP area for sales processes – from quotations and sales orders to deliveries and billing. In SAP S/4HANA, these functions are part of sales management.

Explanation
Core SAP SD processes include:
• quotations and sales orders, including item categories, schedule lines, and pricing,
• pricing based on condition records and pricing procedures,
• deliveries and goods issue,
• billing, including invoices, credit memos, debit memos, and billing plans,
• credit management and output management.
In the order-to-cash process, SD interacts with materials management, financial accounting, and – where used – service management and revenue accounting.
Why It Matters
SAP SD is the most common source system for SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR). Sales orders, deliveries, and billing documents are transferred as revenue accounting items. The structure of SD data – item categories, pricing conditions, billing plans, and references between documents – directly affects contract combination, allocation, and revenue timing in RAR.
