Regarding MM & SD flow

[Former Member]

Can anyone explain me how the MM & SD business flow happens and what are the Tcodes comes into picture while these flows.

Hi,

MM 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 longer-term 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.

SD Process Flow:

The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents – the inquiry, the quotation, the sales order, the delivery, the invoice, and the subsequent delivery free of charge – creates a document flow or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help you to plan and control your sales.

Transaction Codes:

Inquiry - VA11/VA12/VA13

Quotation - VA21/VA22/VA23

Sales Order - VA01/VA02/VA03

Delivery - VL01N/VL02N/VL03N

Billing/Invoicing - VF01/VF02/VF03

MM Flow

1.Purchase Req - ME51N

2.RFQ - ME41

3.Quotations - ME47

4.PO - ME21N

5.Goods Receipt - MIGO or MIGO_GR

6.Vendor Invoice - FB60

7.Outline Agreements - ME31K

Standard processflow is as follow:

1. Generation of Material requirement: Material requirement can be generated through Sales dept or individual user department.

2. Purchase Requisition: Once material requirement is identified then purchase requisition can be created. It can be automatic through MRP or manually by individual user / user dept.

3. Request for Quotation: Purchasing dept will collect the purchase requisition and send request for quotation to the vendor/s.

4. Vendor Selection: Once purchasing dept receives quotations from the vendor, it's time for vendor selection to find out the best suitable vendor for releasing purchase order. During the vendor selection, several factors will be accounted i.e. rate, quality, lead time, after supply service.

5. Release of Purchase order : the purchase order will be released to the supplier for suppling material on predefined terms and conditions.

6. Followup and monitoring: once purchase order is released the purchasing dept will monitor and followup for the supply.

7. Notifications: The supplier will notify the purchasing dept time to time with the latest updates on supply. i.e. loading, shipping from the supplier's site.

8. Goods Receipt: On arrival of material, the warehouse people will receive the material and process for goods receipt note (GRN)

9. Invoicing: The accounting dept will receive the invoice from the vendor and compare with the purchase order and goods receipt note.

10. Payment: On the due date, accounting dept will make the payment.

SD flow

Transaction input = VA01 (create sales order)

All the configurations made during customizing are validated and allows the sales order to be created.Then the R/3 Checks for the availability of the items and gives a schedule line on which you can deliver the goods.

step 2.

VL01N- Create delivery.

For a given shipping point on the due schedule line date create the delivery. Here we do the picking, packing, Loading and Goods Issue, ie., to say done with the shipping process the goods have physically left to the customer.

step 3. (what comes next ??)

VF01 - Create Invoice.

For the items issued ( PGI items ) we bill the customer depending on his billing plan. otherwise its a simple VF01 transaction to bill the items issued. Here the billing data is transferred to accounting so that the FI takes over from here.

So,

VA01 -- > VL01N -- > VF01. End of SD process.

Hi,

MM Flow:

The dataflow as functional process below are the points:

1) Purchasing Requsition -> sent by inventory dept to purcharsing 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 paramers 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 Kumaar.M

Full MM Transaction Codes Flow:

RFQ to Vendor - ME41

Raising Quotation - ME47

Comparison of Price - ME49

Creation of PO - ME21N

Goods Receipt - MIGO

Invoice (Bill PAssing) - MIRO

Goods Issue - MB1A

Physical Inventory - MI01( Create doc)

MI04 (Enter Count)

MI07 (Post)

The FI - MM integration:

First you define the g/l master records.

1) Inventry raw material a/c

2) GR/IR clearing a/c

3) Raw material consumption a/c

Above like this you define all required g/l accounts then you will go to T.CODE - OBYC

Double click BSX (this is transaction key)

" GBB

" WRX

" PRD

These are transaction keys important.

Then you go to T CODE - OMSY (this is also important) then

Material creation T Code MM01

then

1) Purchase order T.code ME21N

2) Goods received " MIGO

3) Invoice verification " MIRO
