A Solution Quotation, upon acceptance by the customer, is typically converted into a Solution Order. The Solution Order then functions as an orchestrator, automatically creating the relevant follow-up documents in the corresponding SAP components based on the item categories within the quotation. For items representing a one-time sale of goods, a Sales Order (A) is created. For items representing recurring, usage-based, or subscription services, a Subscription Contract (B) is generated in SAP Subscription Billing. For items related to long-term or recurring services, a Service Contract (D) is created in the service management component. These documents represent the fulfillment and billing processes for the different components of the overall solution.

C. Sales Contract: This is a long-term outline agreement. The standard follow-up for a one-time sales item in a Solution Order is a transactional Sales Order, not a Sales Contract.

E. Solution Contract: This is not a standard, distinct document type created as a follow-up in Solution Order Management. The Solution Order itself is the orchestrating object for other specific contracts.
