• Key Concepts: 
  Indirect sale is a type of sales transaction in the SAP Beverage Industry Solution (IS-BEV) where the customer does not purchase the product directly from the supplier. Instead, the customer purchases the product from a third-party distributor or retailer. The supplier then pays the distributor or retailer for the sale. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In IS-BEV, indirect sales are managed through a process called “indirect sales order processing”. This process involves creating an order in IS-BEV for the customer, which is then sent to the distributor or retailer. The distributor or retailer then processes the order and sends it back to IS-BEV. Once the order is received, IS-BEV will generate an invoice for the customer and send it to them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up indirect sales orders in IS-BEV, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included in the order.
