To generate follow-up documents from a Solution Quotation, two key steps are required. First, the quotation must be commercially accepted by the customer, which is recorded in the system by setting the status to 'Accepted' (D). This action confirms the customer's agreement and makes the quotation eligible for fulfillment. Second, the individual items within the accepted quotation must be 'Released' (B). This release action is the technical trigger that initiates the orchestration process, creating the corresponding follow-up documents (such as sales orders, service orders, or provider contracts) in the relevant backend systems.

A. Submit the quotation: This is a preliminary step to send the quotation to the customer for review; it occurs before acceptance and does not trigger follow-up document creation.

C. Create a Call Off: A call-off is a specific type of follow-up document, typically used against a contract, not a general prerequisite step for creating documents from a quotation.

SAP S/4HANA

Solution Quotations: "When a customer accepts a solution quotation

you can create follow-up transactions

such as a solution order

from the solution quotation. The system copies the data from the solution quotation to the solution order." This confirms that acceptance is a mandatory prerequisite. (Path: SAP S/4HANA -> Sales -> Solution Order Management -> Solution Quotations -> Processing Solution Quotations).

SAP S/4HANA

Solution Order: The process for creating follow-up documents is detailed in the context of the Solution Order

which is the direct successor to an accepted Solution Quotation. The documentation states

"Once a solution order is saved and the items are released

the system creates the follow-up documents in the connected components." This highlights the 'Release' step as the trigger. (Path: SAP S/4HANA -> Sales -> Solution Order Management -> Solution Order -> Processing Solution Orders).

Course BR245 (SAP Billing and Revenue Innovation Management - Solution Order Management): Unit 2

"Solution Quotation Management

" describes the process flow where a quotation is first accepted. Unit 3

"Solution Order Orchestration

" details how releasing items in the subsequent solution order triggers the creation of backend documents. The principle of acceptance followed by a release/trigger action is a core concept.
