Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® C_TS462 Sales certification, built for the 2026 System-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: Sales and distribution consultants — and business users moving into an SAP S/4HANA sales role — who want a recognized associate credential proving they can configure and run core order-to-cash, delivery, billing, and pricing processes as a mentored member of an implementation project team.
The SAP® C_TS462 certification confirms that you can configure and run the core sales line of business in SAP S/4HANA rather than simply describe it. It spans the order-to-cash journey — the enterprise structure behind selling, business partner and customer master data, sales document and item-category setup, schedule lines, availability checking and delivery scheduling, delivery processing through goods issue, billing document creation with its link into Finance, and condition-technique pricing. Because it is delivered as a System-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied work: you complete configuration and transaction steps inside a live system instead of answering isolated recall items. The material applies to both SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and on-premise deployments, and is pitched at the consultant profile at an entry-level, mentored project depth.

The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Running the end-to-end order-to-cash cycle in SAP S/4HANA Sales — sales order entry, the shipping and goods-issue steps, and billing with its handoff into Finance — while navigating the Fiori launchpad and recognizing the organizational units that frame selling.
Setting up the selling enterprise structure and maintaining the master data sales documents rely on — business partner and customer records, material master, and the condition records that drive pricing — plus customer-vendor integration so documents default correctly.
Configuring sales document types, item categories and their assignment, schedule line categories, bills of material, and the special functions such as blocks and rejection reasons that control how a sales document behaves.
Analyzing and configuring copying control across the document flow, applying the partner-function concept and determination procedures, and customizing output, text, and incompletion handling — manual entry, automatic transfer, and log-driven checks — for consistent document processing.
Running the available-to-promise check and backorder processing, then configuring delivery documents, their organizational units and controls, goods-issue posting, delivery and transportation scheduling, and integration with embedded EWM for outbound and inbound flows.
Configuring billing documents and their organizational units, data flow, special billing types, account determination, and the link from Sales into Financial Accounting, alongside condition-technique pricing, condition records, special condition types, tax determination, and condition contract management.
Framing the work inside an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition implementation — the RISE with SAP methodology and clean-core fundamentals, fit-to-standard workshops, system landscapes, users and authorizations, extensibility, integration, data migration, and testing.
