What Is The DataFlow Of MM?

The dataflow as functional process below are the points:

1) Purchasing Requisition -> sent by inventory dept to purchasing dept
2) Request for Quotation(RFQ)-> Purchasing Dept shall ask the vendors to give the quotation for
the requested materials by inventory.
3) Quotation -> Quotation is sent by vendors to the company
4) Purchase order-> Based on all parameters of a quotation sent by vendors. Vendors are selected
from whom the material has to be obtained. The company gives purchase order to the vendor.
5) Good's receipt -> vendors sends the goods to the company with goods receipt
6) Invoice verification -> this done based on good's receipt. This means that the ordered goods
have reached or not.
7) Payment -> payment is done based on invoice verification. this is (FI/CO) *-- Santosh

MM Enduser Manual

The material master is the central master record for logistics. The data must be maintained
in the material master to support a multitude of business functions within a company
including: Production Planning, Purchasing, Inventory Management, Sales, MRP, Product
costing, Quality Management, to name a few.
Some important aspects of the Material Master are: material type, price control and valuation
class. These attributes control such things as field selection, procurement type and how
valuation is carried out.
There are some key tools available to help with the maintenance of material master records:
Engineering change capabilities, setting of MRP and Forecast profiles, defaulting data,
controlling which users have access to which views, etc.
The Vendor and Customer master files are very similar in that they both have General data
(Client level), Accounting Data (Company Code), and either sales or purchasing data. The
sales data is based on Sales area: Sales org, distribution channel and division. Purchasing
data can be based on Purchase org, plant, vendor sub-range (i.e. vendors product grouping)
or combination of plant and vendor sub-range.
In addition to the vendor and customer master files, there is functionality to support different
vendor/customer partner relationships. For example, sold-to, ship-to, bill-to, and payer

customers. From the vendor perspective, ordering address, invoice sender, goods supplier,
and payment recipient.

Within one material master, data can be held at different organisational levels.
The general data is valid at the client level.
The purchasing data is held at the plant level.
The sales information is held at the sales organisation/distribution channel level.
When the Warehouse Management module is used, information is held at the warehouse
number and storage type level.

Industry sector determines screen sequence and fields of the material master. Once we have
assigned an industry sector to a material, we cannot change the industry sector again afterwards.
XYZ will be using industry sector as Sales & Services.

2.1.4 Material type

Material type is an indicator that subdivides materials into different groups. For example: raw
materials, Semi finished materials, finished materials and operating supplies. The material type
determines the materials procurement type and controls the following.

Screen sequence control.

Field selection.

Type of number assignment in material master maintenance.

Type of inventory management.

Account determination.

The following Material types are used in XYZ :

Data Views in Material Master:

Basic Data view: Basic Data view contains data that applies to the material at all levels regardless
of the plant, purchase organization and so on. Data from the basic data view is used through out
SAP in many different modules. Example of data contained on the basic data view is:

Basic Unit of Measure: Identifies how the stock of material is managed.

Old material number: Can be used to store a material number from a legacy system if one exists,
gross weight, net weight and material description.
This view will exist for all materials.
XYZ will maintain Basic data1 & Basic data 2 views as per their requirement.

Purchasing View: This view contains data that is plant specific. Data from the purchasing view is
copied to the purchasing document (e.g. Requisition, purchase order) for the material.
Purchasing Group: Identifies the buyer responsible for purchasing the material.
Order unit: Identifies the order unit if it is different from the base unit of measure.
Source XYZ t indicator: Identifies if a source XYZ t must be maintained for this material.
GR processing time: Identifies how long it takes in days to process a goods receipt for this material
at a specific plant
Following Purchasing groups have been identified for each plant XYZ .

Trade Material

Workshop Consumables

External service, Office Stationery and Others

Control should be estabXYZ hed, so that each Plant should be able to create PO only for its own
unit, whereas Head Office can raise PO for any of the Plants.

MRP View: this view contains data unique to a specific Plant / MRP Area. Data on this view is used
to run MRP when planning material requirements.
MRP type: identifies how the material is planned
MRP controller: identifies the person responsible for planning Material Requirements
Lot size key: Determines the lot sizing procedure used to calculate the quantity to be procured.
Procurement type: Identifies how a material is procured (externally, produced in-house or both)

XYZ will be having Materials Requirement Planner (MRP), who will be responsible for material
planning at Plant Level. The plant level MRP person will also be responsible for MRP area level
planning run and requirements.
MRP controllers are: Identified as per the MRP type to be carried out for classification of material into
Fast moving-Bin materials, A&B, C & D (Sundry) material category.
XYZ will be using the following MRP parameters:
MRP type: V1 - Manual reorder point with external requirements
VB - Manual Re-order level planning
PD MRP (Planned Delivery)
Periodical review has to be carried out to change MRP parameters (viz. Max inventory level, Safety
stock, ABC Classification, calculation etc based on sales pattern).
Lot size: HB - Replenish to maximum stock level
EX Lot for Lot order quantity
FX Fixed Order quantity.
SAP triggers automatic procurement proposal for the materials when the stock level reaches below
re-order level when MRP run is carried out.
Procurement type: F (External procurement) allows external procurement.
Storage View: This view contains the data that is unique to specific plant and storage location
combination. This view is used to identify requirements for storing material in inventory. Bin number
can be maintained in Storage view along with Shelf life expiration data.
Accounting View: The Accounting view contains plant-specific data. This view is used to store
financial data for the material. Data on the view includes

Currency: Identifies the currency used to value the material.

Price control: Identifies if the price control used is moving average.

For XYZ , the material valuation will be on FIFO (First In First Out) basis.
Procurement of material will be done by standard valuation control (S), since the procurement rate
of XYZ remains constant all across the company.
Standard price should be updated as and when the procurement price of the material changes.

2.1.4.1 Business Requirements /Expectations

Material code should be unique, that is, only one material number should be
assigned for a material across XYZ . To avoid duplication of the Material master,
Master data should be maintained centrally. XYZ should be able to see Material
wise, Plant wise, Storage Location wise online inventory data.
2.1.4.2 Special Organization Consideration
Normal material, Scrap material, float material and reserve materials having similar attributes for a
single item should be created as only one material code.
e.g. Alternator 26021249 will have unique number for normal material, float units, reserve material
and scrapped material (i.e. without any suffix).
MIS Analysis
The product hierarchy is a standard field where in the product assembly and sub assembly aspects
of a material master is taken care.
In the characteristics view of material master, Customer, Vehicle type and vehicle application will
cover the requirements for MIS analysis.

Verification
MM Process flow:

Process Flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can
cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of
materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are
important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically
by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longerterm purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to
vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations.
Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase
order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically.
Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are
also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or
expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions,
quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying
permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification

The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and
price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing
and clearing invoices for payment.

Pur info record is nothing but a master data like thing which will be maintained for different materials to determine the
prices etc.It Specifies the number that uniquely identifies a record.
For Example: an info record is based on Plant Vendor and Material
Based on these three the Material Prices will be calculated
for different combinations different values are taken into consideration.
During pricing it brings these values automatically based on this info record.
Use ME11 Tcode to create this record.
