1. Introduction
Localizing seamless pipes manufacturing in the Middle East – in general, and in Saudi
Arabia – in particular, was a commercial necessity and a strategic decision. Middle East
and North Africa (MENA) is currently the most growing region related to Oil and Gas
industry. GCC is having a strong demand for seamless pipes and various projects will
sustain and even increase such demand in future. This regional development would
benefit from a local supply of seamless pipes now that JESCO comes on stream.
JESCO will benefit from its ideal location to deliver to GCC National & International Oil
and Gas Companies, shortening their Supply Chain with thousands of miles and
hundreds of days.
The company is owned 51% by TAQA, 10% by Duferco Saudi Ltd, and the balance of
shares is made up by other, prominent Saudi investors. Saudi Industrial Development
Fund (SIDF), Public Investment Fund (PIF) and HSBC/SABB contributed to project
financing.
The company’s vision is to become ‘The leading manufacturer of high quality seamless
pipes in the Middle East’.
From its ideal location at the sea port of Jubail, JESCO will offer minimal delivery times
by both sea and land transportation, therefore catering to the ever changing and
demanding market needs.
JESCO intends to implement a ‘value added customer supply chain’ which will meet our
customers’ expectations at all times and allowing JESCO to become a preferred
supplier both locally and internationally.
JESCO intends to work closely with its customers offering ex-mill ‘short delivery time
frames’ and ‘just in time deliveries’, aiming to reduce the inventory burden currently
absorbed by customers.

documentation of the results gathered during business process design workshops.
Furthermore, the Business Blueprint documents the business process requirements of
the company. With this, you can better understand how the company intends to run its
business within the SAP System.
As well as this document describes the design of the proposed solution and implications
for the business processes. This document is to communicate the new business
solution and expected changes to the business processes. The information needs to
include:
With the information conveyed by this document, the business should be able to
approve the proposed solution. The Business Blueprint becomes the master
deliverable/document, which serves as a basis for the entire project.

During sales order processing, the system carries out various functions, such as
monitoring of sales transactions, checking for material availability, Delivery scheduling,
calculating pricing and taxes, checking credit limits and creating output documents for a
sale order confirmation.
Delivery Processing
In its role as central object of the goods issue process, the delivery supports all shipping
activities such as picking, packing, transportation and goods issue. During the delivery
process, shipping-planning information is recorded, status of shipping activities is
monitored and the data accumulated during shipping is documented.
Invoicing
Invoicing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and
Distribution. This component includes creation of Invoices based on deliveries, Issue of
credit and debit memos, Cancellation of billing transactions, Transfer billing data to
Financial Accounting.
Pricing is used for the calculation of prices. Various conditions are used to represent a
set of business scenarios that apply when a price is calculated. For e.g. a particular
customer orders a certain quantity of a certain product on a certain day. The variable
factors like the customer, the product, the order quantity, the date determine the final
price the customer gets. These factors can be stored in the system as master data in
the form of condition records.
10
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Automatic Credit Checks can be specified to meet the credit management needs.
The checks can be carried out at various times during the sales order cycle, from order
receipt to delivery.
Availability Check
When a sales order is entered, the delivery of goods for the required delivery can be
confirmed if the goods are available for all the necessary processing activities which
take place before delivery. The shipping department can ensure that freight forwarding
or another shipping company is advised early enough so that sufficient time remains for
packing and loading to be carried out.
3. Organization Structure of SD
In SAP, several structures are used to represent the legal and organizational structure
of the company. These organizational structures form a framework in which all business
transactions are processed. That can structure from the point of view of accounting,
materials management, and sales and distribution. It is possible to combine these
structures. The Sales and Distribution (SD) module is a component of the Logistics suite
of modules which also includes Material Management (MM), Warehouse Management
(WM), Logistics Execution (LE), Production Planning (PP) and Quality (QM).
The SD Organizational structure has been conceptually designed with the following
objectives:
Build information structure to provide reports for analysis at the level of existing
Marketing & Sales divisions.

The shipping point is the top level in the organization for shipping.
A shipping point can be allocated to several plants.
A shipping point can be divided into several points.
A delivery is always initiated from exactly one shipping point. Thus, all items
of a delivery belong to one shipping point. Groups of deliveries also belong to
exactly one shipping point.
The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing
depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.
4. Master Data
• Detailed information about customers, materials and business partners
• Flexible data structures that support the business environment
• Specialized master data to support sales order processing

Description and code of the individual materials used in an enterprise would be stored in
material master records. The following section explains some of the important views
and information a material master record contains and that are relevant for sales and
distribution:
In this view, we would define basic data and units of measure and tax classification (e.g.
sales units, order quantities)
Important fields:
Base Unit of Measure - Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are
managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of
measure (alternative units of measure) to the base unit of measure. Base Unit
of measurement is Mt (Ton).
20
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Sales Unit – Unit of measure in which the material is sold. This field would be
used if a unit of measure differing from the base unit of measure is used. This
would be proposed in other transactions/events, where it can be changed.
Sales Unit of measurement are Ton (Mt), Pieces (Pc), and Running
Meter/Feet (M)
However in Sales Unit only Mt shall be entered. Pieces (Pc), and Running
Meter/Feet (M) shall be entered in product characteristics as variant
configuration, if required.
Delivering Plant - Plant from which the goods should be delivered to the
customer.
Division – The division would be used to determine the sales areas for a
product.
Important fields:

In SAP, the data on various business partners (with whom company has business
transactions) is stored in separate master records. Such business partners would
mostly include the customers of Jesco. Customer records are maintained in the
Customer Master. The Customer Master data is classified into 3 parts as follows:
22
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Customer Master
General
Data
23
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
General data does not depend on the company code or the sales organization. General
data applies to one business partner for all company codes, and in all sales areas. It
includes:
Customer Name
Search Term
Street address, City,
Postal code, Country
Language
Telephone, Fax, Data numbers
Contact persons – Name, Telephone number, Department, First name, Function
General data is not limited to information used by both Financial Accounting and
Logistics. The name and address, for example, is unique for a customer and is relevant
for both Accounting and Sales and Distribution. Similar data is maintained as General
Data for the Customer.
If a master record is edited using the customer number without specifying a sales area,
or a company code, the system displays only general data screens.
Company code data only applies to one company code. This data is only relevant to
Financial Accounting, and includes:
24
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
It’s required to enter the customer number and company code data to edit the company
code details of the customer. It’s not possible to invoice a business transaction if the
data on the payer partner function is not entered in the Financial Accounting view.
Sales order : Sales district, Sales office, Sales group, Order probability, Item
proposal, Account at customer
Pricing / Statistics: Price group, Customer pricing procedure, Price list type,
Customer statistical group
Billing : Rebate, Pricing, Billing schedule, Invoice list schedule, Inco terms,
Payment terms, Account assignment group, Tax requirements for the customer
It’s required to enter the customer number and sales area data to edit the sales area
25
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
data of the customer master record.
The sales and distribution transactions, i.e., a sales order can only be processed, after
entering the sales and distribution data for a customer.
Sales support department is responsible for maintaining and creating the customer
master details. All the details that are required for creating a customer would need to be
captured on a Customer data sheet. The Sales team is responsible for proposing the
customer.
The Account Group must be entered to create the master data records. The account
group determines:
Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data
Whether the fields are optional or mandatory.
How master record numbers are assigned and the number range from which
they are assigned
Which partner functions are valid
Whether the business partner is a one-time customer
26
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Partner functions are used to define the rights and responsibilities of each customer in a
business transaction. The partner functions are assigned to the Account Group based
on the roles performed by the customer created against the Account Group.
Sold-to Party: A person or company that places an order for goods or services.
Ship-to Party: A person or company that receives goods. The ship-to party may
not necessarily be the sold-to party, the bill-to party, or the payer. Contains data
for shipping, such as unloading point and goods receiving hours
Bill-to Party: A person or company that receives the invoice for a delivery or
service. The bill-to party may not necessarily be the payer of the bill. Contains
the address and data on document printing and electronic communication
Payer: A person or company that pays the bill. The payer may not be the bill-to
party. Contains data on billing schedules and bank details
The company or person who places an order can be the same company or person who
receives the goods, the invoice and pays for the same. Because this customer assumes
all partner functions, create one master record for the customer. Create a customer
master record for the sold-to-party and enter the data required for the other partner
functions.
A subsidiary office can place an order and its head office can pay the invoice. In this
case, the partner functions are divided among the different offices. The corresponding
number of customer master records is required. The link between the partner functions
in the customer master record of the sold-to party is established by entering the
customer number of the respective partner functions.
27
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
The order entry can be processed more efficiently using item proposals. Item proposals
can be transferred into a sales order document or be selected from a selection list, for
example. Data from the current material master is always taken into account. Items
proposed from an item proposal can always be changed in the sales order.
An item proposal, containing the materials a customer usually orders, can be assigned
to that customer. When using item proposals as reference to create sales order, this
item proposal is then proposed for selection. Once selected, the data from item
proposal is copied to sales order. There is no need to enter all the data manually.
A combination of key variables allows the creation of different types of pricing e.g.
28

Master data is required before documents can be created in sales and distribution.
Master data is copied into the sales order, which then acts as a source (reference)
document to create the delivery, shipment and billing documents.
Price Master Data Management is used in Sales & Distribution module in the following
process
Inco term is a codification of international rules for the interpretation of the commonly
used terms in international trade. An international commercial term (Inco term) defines
the terms of sale and the passing of risks for import and export of merchandise.

The conditions under which a seller will complete a sale. Typically, these terms specify
the period allowed to a customer to pay off the amount due, and may demand cash in
advance, cash on delivery, a deferred payment period of 30 days or more, or other
similar provisions of letter of credit.
Code Description
The SAP Material Number (18 digits) is the primary master data element of the SAP
MM module. It is used to both describe and record history of sales / purchases made.
Material Groups (represented by a 4 digit code) are the hierarchical grouping of like
31
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
materials (Line Pipes, Casing).
The Material numbers, for each unique material, is generated by the SAP system.
When creating a sales document a material can be searched by its material number,
descriptive name or selected from drill down from Material Group name (A wild card
character/s can be used in each case). Once selected the Material short text can be
amended to more precisely describe the item and sales text is also available.
4.7.1 Use
As a rule, a material master record must exist for each material subject to inventory
management within a firm. This record is stored under the material number.

6 BUSINESS PROCESSES
The aim of inquiry and quotation processing is to quickly hand over a binding quotation
that is attractive for the customer and justifiable from a business point of view. An initial
specification of the product is created in line with the customer’s requirements in the
process.
6.1 Inquiry
When a client (existing customer or new customer) asks or requests information (can be
through a phone call, an email, or a Request For Quotation (RFQ) document) about the
products he needs, the sales personnel can input that request into SAP SD module by
creating an Inquiry document. An Inquiry is an internal document that records the
information about request from prospective customer for internal use only.
On receipt, the inquiry is checked for completeness, and any queries are raised to the
customer. The inquiry is then checked for its commercial and technical feasibility, and
the importance of the customer for the company is evaluated. Taking order probability
into consideration and on the basis of the information gained from the checks and
evaluations, the company decides whether to create a quotation.
Once Supply Chain management (SCM) Department receives an inquiry, it’s TDC's
(Technical delivery conditions) are checked by technical team. Inquiry consists of the
39
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
material grade details, production type, thickness and outer diameter in which it can be
produced and the tolerances on shape, thickness and OD which are guaranteed.
Urgent delivery schedule asked by customer is consulted with SCM for production in
time.
Inquiries, which are out of scope, are regretted after consulting QA & R&D and
alternative product is suggested.
In an inquiry, we record some information such as: which customer that request
information, what products customer needs, how many products customer needs, etc.
6.2 Quotation
A Quotation is a legal document that contains information about the offering to the
customer, such as: which customer that been offered, what and how many products that
been offered to the customer, how much the price of the products, when the delivery
date of the products, how the term of payment that been offered to the customer, the
validity date of the offering, etc. A Quotation can be created by referring to the Inquiry
document (if any) or not, depends on the business scenario defined.
Once inquiry is technically confirmed along with delivery schedule through L3 system,
quotation is sent to the customer. The Quotation is referenced from the Inquiry received.
A Quotation is "What we can best offer to the customer" against his Inquiry, so when the
data of Inquiry is copied into a Quotation, there should be a scope for changes as per
our norms.
One Inquiry can have many options for quoting, based on available stock, delivery and
specialized grade, depending upon the Inquiry items & quantity.
Delivery Destination (Shipping Point) is determined. Freight terms & transporters are
determined.
40
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Price determination is carried out as per valid price list. Quotation Validity date is
determined. (Normally it varies from 7 to 14 days for Normal Quotation). For Tender
Quotation validity date is open.
Quotation is made based on enquiry received after seeking all clarifications from
customer (externally) and SCM/Quality/PPIC (internally).
The quotation is completed by fixing the quotation price, which is determined on the
basis of the price list valid for that period. For Normal quotation pricing shall be
determined from price list whereas for Tender quotation price shall be entered manually.
Legal terms and conditions are also part of the completed quotation. On completion of
the quotation phase the quotation itself is created and sent to the customer. Based on
quotation and order negotiation, order is finalized and formal Purchase order is
received. Quotation processing ends with either order placement or rejection of the
quotation by the customer.

After Jesco sends the quotation to the customers, they will do their own purchasing
procedure to determine from where they will purchase the products or services. If
needed, they may negotiate with Jesco about quotation in terms of price, terms of
payment, delivery date. Jesco may send an updated quotation based on the
negotiation. If customer decides to purchase the material, they will send a Purchase
Order (PO). Then a Sales Order (SO) is created that refers to the Quotation sent to the
customers before. Customer’s PO number can be referred in SO.
Order is received from direct customers / business partners.
Scrutinize P.O – Order is checked with quotation for following parameters: price,
specifications, minimum order Qty, delivery, and payment terms. If order is not as per
the quotation – P.O referred back to customer for clarification/amendment. Customer
may send amendment/clarification required or stick as per original P.O
44
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
Approval: In case of any deviation in parameters of price, delivery, payment terms,
order quantity special approval is taken from deciding authority. If Approved – Sales
order shall be entered in SAP system and sent to L3 system for order dressing. Non
approval leads to order regret.
Sales Order is entered specifying their main characteristics (finished product type,
grade, dimensions, quantity etc.) and also the required delivery date.
A standard order is used to process customer purchase orders for material. The
standard order will result in normal scheduling of deliveries and is relevant for pricing
since customer billing will occur from the delivery of materials ordered on the standard
order.
The process of creating a standard confirmed sales order begins with the customer’s
request for materials to be sent to them. Once a customer’s purchase order is received,
the order is manually entered into the SAP R/3 system. The sales area responsible for
processing the order is entered along with the sold to business partner, ship to business
partner, requested delivery date, material number and ordered quantity. The remaining
information on the sales order is derived from master data (e.g., customer, material, and
pricing conditions) and system configuration for automatic determination (e.g., shipping
point). The process of creating a standard order ends when the order is saved and all
required fields are entered (based on incompletion procedure rules).
Order reason shall be used to identify if material is offered from stock or production. It
shall be made mandatory for Inquiry, Quotation and Sales Order.

The sales scenarios of Domestic and Export to be handled in SAP are as explained
below:
Normal sales happen with the customer without any agreement or contract.
The following steps show how the normal sales are addressed in SAP
1. Customer sends the purchase order with the requested products and the Sales
Team creates the sales order for the requisite quantity. User will be proposed
with list of material based on the customer product proposal maintained in the
system. The ordered quantities and product attributes for each material would be
manually entered.
3. Credit check happens in the sales order after providing the details. If the credit
check is passed, delivery can be created against the sales order or else the
delivery is blocked until the Sales Order is released.
4. Pricing - Sales price for the item would be maintained for a combination of Sales
Organization and each material. When entering the order the system determines
the price to be used for that order as per the (access sequence). Item price can
also be changed/ entered manually.
46
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
5. Delivery is created by the shipping team after the proposed schedule line dates
are reached. Batch determination happens at this level.
6. Post Goods Issue is done to record the actual delivered quantities which make
the delivery eligible for invoicing. Accounting department creates the invoicing
document.
The data flow diagram provided below depicts the process flow for the normal sales:
47
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
The Tender Sales are based on an initial agreement in which the conditions like prices,
returns, products, and delivery terms are specified.
Jesco deals with two types of tender sales. One is for ARAMCO and the other is for
General / Private companies. In some cases tender products require special
processing/ packing / marking.
Tender is entered as quotation in SAP and print out of it would be used as an offer to
enter the tender bidding. A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer
for delivering a product within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the
company within a specified time period.
1. Sales department decides the tender price with lower limits. The price can be
changed manually in the quotation by the Sales team. If the tender needs to be
quoted with the price lesser than the lower limit, approval from sales higher
authority is required to change the pricing in quotation.
2. The quotation report is generated for each quotation number, which provides all
the required details.
3. If the entire tender is not accepted, the Quotation is marked as Rejected. If only
some material in the Quotation is accepted, the remaining materials in the
Quotation are rejected at the individual line item by using the Line Item
Rejections reasons. The Sales order cannot be created against the quotation or
the Line Items which have been rejected.
4. Sales order is created against the quotation which copies all the terms from
48
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
quotation.
7. Credit check happens in the sales order after providing the details. If the credit
check is passed, delivery can be created against the sales order or else the
delivery is blocked until the credit line is resolved by Sales or Accounting.
8. Pricing - The prices maintained in the Quotation would be copied into the sales
order. The price in the Sales Order can be changed after approval of Sales
higher authority.
9. Sales Order (SO) to be sent to the customer after completing the entries and to
be counter-signed by the customer.
10. Delivery is created against the sales order based upon the schedule lines
confirmed in sales order.
11. Post Goods Issue is performed against the delivery document and goods are
shipped to the customer by Jesco.
12. Invoice is created against the Delivery document and a copy of it is sent along
with the goods. The invoice is released to accounting department which updates
the customer receivables.
49
Business Blue Print
_____________________________________________________________________
The following data flow diagram depicts the process flow of tender sales in SAP:
Customer sends the quality complaints or list of materials which they want to return to
the Sales Team. The Sales/technical team analyzes the complaint/list and makes the
final list of materials for returns (Return Sales Order). Once the list is approved by both
the parties, customer sends the goods to the warehouse. Warehouse checks the

1. Returns are categorized for the various type of quality complaints. The return
sales order should always be created with the reference of previous Sales Order.

3. Returns would have quality inspection performed before the goods are accepted
into the inventory.
4. The returns delivery would be created against the sales order. The quality
inspects the material and decision is made upon material inspection.

the returns delivery and signed by Sales & Accounting. The return invoice would
be posted immediately to the accounting which reduces the customer
receivables.

be made. Schedule lines for quotation items are not relevant for delivery.
The incompletion log reminds when the data that is important for further processing is
missing from the sales document.
The subsequent functions can only be carried out if the data in the original sales
document is complete. To guarantee completeness, the system logs all missing data in
an incompletion log. The data needed to process subsequent functions is defined for
each sales document type.

7 Delivery / Shipment
Once the Sales Order has been saved, the system on Availability Check gives the date
on which the goods can be delivered. The delivery functionality in SAP allows:
The delivery is the central shipping document to sales order. Depending upon the
requirement, deliveries can be created automatically using work lists or manual. When a
delivery is created, data is copied from the Master Records or any preceding document.
Delivery Quantity will not exceed the Sales Order Quantity. The system allows creating
partial and complete deliveries. A delivery is processed through one shipping point only.
The shipping point that carries out the processing for a delivery can be determined
automatically during order processing or can be specified manually in the order.
When delivery is entered with reference to an order, the system automatically proposes
the delivery type on the basis of the order. There can be various Delivery Types based
56

situation arises, it is proposed to create/change the sales order for additional quantity.
