Interview Questions on SAP MM

1. What are the types of special stocks available?
Subcontracting, consignement, pipeline, project, sales order, RTP, stock
transfer ,third party.

2. What are the types of inforecords?

Standard, consignment,subcontracting & pipeline.

3. What is meant by consignment stock?

The stock supplied by the vendor is in the companies premises with the
company having no liability for the same. The liability for the company will
only be affected when the goods are issued from the consignment stock for use.

4. What are the steps involved in consignment cycle?

Create consignment info record with proper tax code, create Po with item
category K, maintain output condition record for KONS, process GR, no
invoice verification done, but settlement is done through MRKO transaction.

5. Tell me about the subcontracting cycle.

The Po is created with item category L , the goods is transferred to
subcontractor by 541 movemet. for this movement note no accounting docs
take place. When GR is done automatically, 543 movemnt takes place which
take care of the consumption of components from stock.

6. How are the byproducts taken care of in subcontracting?

You can add these by products in the BOM for the header matl.

7. What is meant by scales?

Can scales be used in standard purchase order? You can fix a price in the info
record for a say qty from 1-100 price RS150 & if the order qty is 101- 500- the
prices is 140 . Scales cannot be used directly in PO but can be pulled into the
PO from various master data like info record, quota arrangement.

8. What is the difference between a contract and a scheduling agreement?

With regard to Outline Agreement:
1. You can create the centrally contract (cross-plant) where you can maintain
different pricing conditions for each and every plant
2. You have to create the Release Order with reference to Outline Agreement.
3. No detailed delivery schedule can be made in the Release Order.
4. No Release documentation is created.
5. Only time-dependent conditions can be created.
6. Some Item Category 'M' and 'W' can be used.
With regard to Scheduling Agreement:
1. The Plant Location must be entered in the Scheduling Agreement.
2. We do not have to create any other purchasing document except for delivery
schedule line via Transaction ME38 or MRP running (with the appropriate
setting of Source List).
3. Delivery Schedule line items are created subject to your specific
requirement.
4. Can create both Scheduling Agreement with and without Release
Documentation (subject to the Document Type LP or LPA) with the selection
of either FRC or JIT delivery schedule.
5. Either time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created subject
to the customizing in the Document Type of the Scheduling Agreement.
6. Item Category 'M' and 'W' can not be used.

9. How does the system calculate taxes?

10. How does the system calculate nondeductible taxes?

11. What is meant by batches? How can the batches be searched?

A batch is a subdivision of your stock of a material having the same
characteristics.
For instance:
- food production uses batches to indicate the day of production.
- paint production uses batches based on production date and the used
ingredients. It is very hard to reproduce the same color in exactly the same way
at two different moments.
- ore may be divided in batches based on their mineral content.

You can search batches using the standard search facility (match code, key F4)
based on the naming convention of the batches or, if you use batch
classification, based on the characteristics of the batches.

12. How is a shelf-life item managed in SAP? What is the full cycle?

13. What are the settings required for quota arrangement?

To set up a quota arrangement for the procurement of a material, proceed as
follows:
Master data -> Quota arrangement -> Maintain, enter the material and plant
number, press ENTER to display the overview screen for the quota
arrangement periods, Enter a validity period for quota arrangement, Enter date
until which the quota arrangement is valid. The start date is calculated by the
system. Press ENTER .
Select the quota arrangement and choose Goto -> Item overview to display the
item overview screen of the quota arrangement. Enter a quota arrangement
item for each source of supply you want to include in the quota arrangement.
You must enter the following data.
- Procurement type
- Special procurement type, Enter k in the S column, for example, if a
consignment arrangement for the material exists with the vendor.
- Vendor number
- Procurement plant (supplying plant):
- Quota column, enter the quota assigned to each item.
Press ENTER .
The percentage distribution of the quotas is calculated and displayed
automatically by the system.
Save the quota arrangement. The system assigns a number to the quota
arrangement item automatically

14. What is meant by MRP Type and lot sizing?

15. Can it be configured in such a way that the external requisitions can
also be taken into account while MRP runs in consumption-based planning
if VB is selected as MRP type?

16. How are free items managed in a PO? yu need to tick the tem as free in
the PO. The price will be zero for such PO's.

17. What are the differences between release procedure with classification
and release procedure without classification? When are they used?
Release procedure with classification means the Purchase requsition can be
released both at item level & at the header level. Release procedure with out
classification can also be used for PR which is used for item level release
only. all other external documents cannot be relesed with classification. The
two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor
of one of them only - you cannot use both).

18. Is it possible to have a release procedure without classification for a

PO?
No
19. What is the maximum number of levels available in SAP?
Did not get this question …pls clarify.

20. Is it possible to have scales in a quotation?

No

21. What is GR blocked stock? When it can be used?

Whenever you are not sure about the quality of the product received, you can
put in GR blocked stock.

22. How are the variations in subcontracting taken care of in SAP?

23. How to give specifications for developments?

We normally prepare a business requirement document in which we specify
what is required. what field & tables have to be referred for the required
development.

24. How to create PR or PO by MRP?

The PR is created according to the safety stock mentioned for the material or
can be triggered from a requirement. For creating a PO, you need to have the
scheduling agreement in place .After the MRP is run the schedule lines are
generated which are nothing but the PO.
