  5. Integration with Other Modules:

    • Ensure seamless integration of SD processes with other S/4HANA modules, including MM, FI/CO, and PP.
    • Configure and test interfaces with external systems, such as EDI partners or CRM platforms.
  6. Training and Documentation:

    • Develop training materials and provide hands-on training to end-users on S/4HANA SD functionalities and changes.
    • Document all configurations, workflows, and conversion processes for future reference.
  7. Post-Go-Live Support:
