• Key Concepts: 
  Preference procedure is a feature in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows users to define the order of preference for different sales documents. This feature helps users to prioritize their sales documents and ensure that the most important documents are processed first. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the preference procedure, users must first define the order of preference for different sales documents. This can be done by assigning a priority number to each document type. The higher the priority number, the higher the priority of the document. Once the priority numbers have been assigned, users can then set up rules to determine which documents should be processed first. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up rules for the preference procedure, it is important to consider how different document types interact with each other. For example, if a customer has multiple orders that need to be processed, it may be beneficial to prioritize orders with higher value or those that are due sooner.
