  Key Concepts: 
  Entry mode is a feature in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows users to enter sales orders in different ways. It is used to determine the type of data entry that will be used for a particular sales order. Entry mode can be set to either manual or automatic entry. Manual entry requires the user to manually enter all the data for the sales order, while automatic entry allows the system to automatically fill in some of the data based on predefined rules. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use entry mode, go to the Sales Order screen in SAP SD and select the “Entry Mode” field. Here you can select either manual or automatic entry. If you select manual entry, you will need to manually enter all the data for the sales order. If you select automatic entry, some of the data will be automatically filled in based on predefined rules. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using entry mode, it is important to remember that manual entry requires more time and effort than automatic entry. Therefore, it is best to use automatic entry whenever possible. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the data entered is accurate and up-to-date, as this will ensure that the sales order is processed correctly.
