Functions of Sales Document Type in SAP SD Process

I have seen that many candidates have failed to get firm clarity on sales document types and its functions. Here I have listed all possible functions covered in SAP SD Certification exam syllabus for C_TSCM62_64, C_TSCM62_65 and C_TSCM62_66. I will expand this blog as quickly as possible with sufficient screenshots to bring more simplicity on sales document type. Please make a valuable comment or write me an email if I have missed any function or you need more clarity on listed functions.

You can follow my SAP SD Certification Guide to achieve maximum success in your SAP SD certification. Apart from this, I have designed 600+ topic wise question bank with accurate answers and related screenshot where you can not miss any questions for your SAP SD certification preparation.
