Technical point of o2c(order to cash) is as follows
first we setup the customer,tax category details,item details,pricing definitions,payment terms,freight terms and then only we can order the product.
for set up main base tables are
RA_CUSTOMERS,
RA_ADDRESSES,
RA_CUST_SITE_USES_ALL
then go for the order entry
here effected tables are
OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL,
OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL
flow_status_code for both tables will be 'ENTER'
then book the order
flow_status_code for both tables of
OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL,
OE_ORDER_LINES_ALLwill be 'Booked'
WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS,
WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS will be going to effect.
the pick release
the flow_status_code for OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL will be 'BOOKED"
and flow_status_code for OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL will be 'awaiting shipping"
pick conform
flow_status_code for both tables of OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL,
OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL will be 'PICKED'
ship conform
flow_status_code for both tables of OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL,
OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL will be 'SHIPPED'
here in WSH_NEW_ASSIGNMENTS the status_code is 'CL' then the order details are conformed and otherwise it is 'Open' stage
here in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS the oe_interface_flag is 'Y' then the order is closed and if it is 'N' it is an error in the order line details and we need to assign line level order details
once the shipping is conformed invoice will be generated
the effected tables are RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL,RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL
this is O2C
