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 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.

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.

Hi Pradeep,

You need to understand the basic requirement which is required to be in SAP that is business.

what i suggest is you get to know the business from your friends & with your experience in MM in legacy try to map the same things in SAP & learn what happens in business that is the best way to get into SAP.

You get all the relevant business scenario's & map into SAP you will get lot more experinece in that.

Hello

Getting an entry into the SAP market is getting tougher day by day.

But, since you have made up your mind, proceed as follows:

- Get your personal system loaded with SAP / SAP IDES.

- Download documentation from various links on individual sub modules.

- Configure your own settings and integrate with SD/FI/CO and PP.

- Try all transactions and get all the desired outputs.

- For any clarification, post your question in the forum.

- In 3 months time you should gain enough confidence to manage a client situation.

Lastly, never mention that you have SAP experience in your resume, be honest and inform that you are a fresher but strong in domain and SAP self learnt skills.

All the best.
