• Key Concepts: 
  Card Verification Value (CVV) is a security feature used in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) to verify the authenticity of a credit card. It is a three- or four-digit code printed on the back of a credit card that is used to authenticate the cardholder's identity. The CVV is used to ensure that the person using the card is the rightful owner of the card.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, the CVV is used to verify the authenticity of a credit card when making a purchase. When entering payment information, the customer will be asked to enter their CVV code. This code must match the one printed on the back of their credit card in order for the transaction to be approved.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the CVV code should never be shared with anyone other than the customer's bank or credit card issuer. Sharing this information could lead to fraudulent activity and should be avoided at all costs. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all payment information is entered correctly in order for the transaction to be approved.
