Intended learning outcomes: Present the data structure of customers and suppliers. Describe the general data structure of orders in sales and distribution, production, and procurement. Disclose the data structure of the order and partial order header as well as the order position.
The order business object was introduced in Section 1.2.1. It describes all types of order within the supply chain. This section describes in detail the order objects used in sales and distribution, production, and procurement. Section 17.5 (The Management of Product and Engineering Data) describes the R&D order in greater depth. Stock status and statistics are also discussed in this section since they are related to order objects.
