Prof. (Dr) Sandeep Kumar · Journal of Quantum Science and Technology. · 2024
SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) is a core module in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, widely used for managing the order-to-cash process. As global enterprises expand into multiple regions with unique business requirements, the need to customize SAP SD becomes crucial. However, enterprises face significant challenges during the customization process, including managing regulatory compliance, data localization, system integration, and user training. This manuscript aims to explore the common challenges in SAP SD customization for global enterprises and suggests potential solutions. It provides an in-depth analysis of how SAP SD can be aligned with global business strategies through agile methods, best practices, and efficient tools. Furthermore, the study proposes a framework for addressing region-specific business demands without disrupting core processes.
