Abstract

In the modern business landscape, optimizing supply chain efficiency is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage. This study explores the integration of SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) and Order to Cash (OTC) processes within the SAP S/4HANA environment. By leveraging the real-time data processing capabilities and streamlined workflows of S/4HANA, organizations can achieve significant enhancements in their supply chain operations. The research examines key benefits, including improved order accuracy, faster order fulfillment, and enhanced visibility throughout the supply chain.

The study highlights how the seamless integration of SD and OTC facilitates better collaboration between sales, finance, and logistics, thereby reducing lead times and operational costs. Furthermore, it addresses the challenges companies face during implementation, such as data migration, change management, and user training. Through a case study approach, the research provides insights into best practices and strategies for successful integration, emphasizing the importance of aligning technology with business processes.

Ultimately, this study underscores the transformative impact of SAP SD/OTC integration in S/4HANA on supply chain efficiency, positioning it as a vital enabler for organizations striving to adapt to dynamic market demands. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge on enterprise resource planning and serve as a guide for businesses looking to harness the full potential of their supply chain systems.
