SAP-MM-RealTime Problems & Solutions_Part1

Problem is that after goods receipt and AFTER invoice verification, reversal of goods receipt is being done. Client wants this more controlled as the GRIR account is being affected. So no reversals to be done after Invoice verification. How to approach this? Make this setting: SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > For GR-Based IV, Reversal of GR Despite Invoice Here remove the tick against Mvt 102 & 122. Now the system will not allow to return the Good at any case. *-- B.Anand daivaraja I have created a new vendor. Later I found that there were some mistakes and that I want that the system should not allow me to make any PO or post any entries to this vendor. How to deactivate this vendor? You can block a vendor at the following levels: All company code Single company code All Purchase org Single Purchase org Where to Get the Goods Movement Type List? Step 1) Run spro command/TC Step 2) Then move to "SAP Reference IMG" screen Step 3) Then navigate following path: IMG --> Materials Management --> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory --> Movement Types --> Copy, Change Movement types Here with "Copy, Change Movement types" option a help tutorial is available (rectangular blue colour icon). In that go to "Further information" section where you can find a big list of movement types with some brief explanation. Where the schedule margin key is customized? You define the order float in the scheduling margin key, The scheduling margin key is copied from the material master. The float before production or float after production and the release period are defined in the scheduling margin key For Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations --> Scheduling --> Define Scheduling Margin Key .

and is transferred when the production order is created. These values can be changed in the production order. What is the function of OBYC? Function of the OBYC stand for Configure Automatic Postings. In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts. Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting. For example, Posting lines are created in the Stock account and Consumption account. Tell me what is *make to order*? Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time. In global trade, you often need to process several different kinds of transactions at the same time. The Trading Execution Workbench (TEW) provides a central cockpit where traders can process trading contracts and their subcomponents, such as purchase orders and sales orders and follow-on documents. In addition, TEW automates a large part of the data entry, making processing quicker, easier, and more error-free. How to delete a material completely? Try MMDE transaction but be careful this will remove all material from Client. What is the use of Tables in MM. i.e. How the tables get created? Through SE11 you can create a new Table. In MM if you create a Material Master MARA, MARM, MARC,MARD, MBEW & MVKE will updated. In Vendor Master LFA1, LFB1 & LFM1 will be updated. The same applies to EKKO,EKPO for P.O, MSEG & MKPF for MIGO & RBKP for MIRO. If in any error, only the message no. ! or the table no. is shown , then how to resolve the error using message no. or table no.?

Contact ABAP or BASIS person to resolve this. How to create new transaction codes? In transaction code SE93 you can create, Change & Display a Transaction Code.

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. 3|Page

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. 4|Page

- 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. I have created a new vendor. Later I found that there were some mistakes and that I want that the system should not allow me to make any PO or post any entries to 5|Page

this vendor. How to deactivate this vendor? You can block a vendor at the following levels: All company code Single company code All Purchase org Single Purchase org Where to Get the Goods Movement Type List? Step 1) Run spro command/TC Step 2) Then move to "SAP Reference IMG" screen Step 3) Then navigate following path: IMG --> Materials Management --> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Movement Types --> Copy, Change Movement types Here with "Copy, Change Movement types" option a help tutorial is available (rectangular blue colour icon). In that go to "Further information" section where you can find a big list of movement types with some brief explanation. Where the schedule margin key is customized? You define the order float in the scheduling margin key, The scheduling margin key is copied from the material master. The float before production or float after production and the release period are defined in the scheduling margin key For Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations --> Scheduling --> Define Scheduling Margin Key . The scheduling margin key is assigned to the material ( MRP area in the material master) and is transferred when the production order is created. These values can be changed in the production order. What is the function of OBYC? Function of the OBYC stand for Configure Automatic Postings. In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts. Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting.

The Trading Execution Workbench (TEW) provides a central cockpit where traders can process trading contracts and their subcomponents, such 6|Page

as purchase orders and sales orders and follow-on documents. In addition, TEW automates a large part of the data entry, making processing quicker, easier, and more error-free. How to delete a material completely? Try MMDE transaction but be careful this will remove all material from Client. What is the use of Tables in MM. i.e. How the tables get created? Through SE11 you can create a new Table. In MM if you create a Material Master MARA, MARM, MARC,MARD, MBEW & MVKE will updated. In Vendor Master LFA1, LFB1 & LFM1 will be updated. The same applies to EKKO,EKPO for P.O, MSEG & MKPF for MIGO & RBKP for MIRO. If in any error, only the message no. ! or the table no. is shown , then how to resolve the error using message no. or table no.? Contact ABAP or BASIS person to resolve this. How to create new transaction codes? In transaction code SE93 you can create, Change & Display a Transaction Code. 2. What is meant by consignment stock? 3. A form of business in which a vendor (external supplier) maintains a stock of materials at a customer (purchaser) site. The vendor retains ownership of the materials until they are withdrawn from the consignment stores. Payment for consignment stock is required only when the material is withdrawn for use. For this reason, the vendor is informed of withdrawals of consignment stock on a regular basis.

What are the steps involved in consignment cycle? 4. Consignment is a type of procurement process. In this process, the vendor makes material available, which you then manage as consignment stock. A liability only arises when material is withdrawn from consignment stock, not when the stock is placed in the consignment stores. 1. Material Master record and Vendor should be there. 2. Info record with procurement type consignment should be there. 3. You have to activate the consignment price via info record in SPRO -> Materials Management -> General settings for materials management --> Activate Consignment Prices via Info Records 5. 4. Here you have to remember that, while placing PO, the price will be zero and the price will be picked from inforecord. 7|Page

5. Vendor will supply the goods as per the PO and our company will receive the goods. After receiving the goods the same will be lying in your company premises, but not belongs to your inventory. It can be used only after posting to inventory or consuming directly. But will pay for the goods as & when we are consuming/posted to inventory to the company. 6. The payment will be made thru MRKO settlements. We can also set for automatic payments thru batch jobs.

What is a reference purchase organization? When can it be used? Pur Org: The purchasing organization is an organizational unit which procures articles and negotiates general purchase price conditions with vendors. It is responsible for all purchasing transactions in the company. Ref Pur Org: In Customizing it is possible to assign reference purchasing organizations to a purchasing organization. This allows the purchasing organization access to the conditions and contracts of these reference purchasing organizations. The purchasing organization can make use of up to two reference purchasing organizations when the sequence in which it accesses conditions is determined. Std Pur Org: This standard (default) purchasing organization is used When the source of supply is determined for the purposes of a stock transfer or consignment, the default purchasing organization is used automatically. Further purchasing organizations can be assigned to the site in addition to the default. A site cannot order if it has not been assigned to a purchasing organization.

6. 7. What are the steps in automatic account assignment configuration? 8. Define Valuation Classes. (OMSK)

SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation & Account assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Define Valuation Classes.

8|Page

Define Valuation Control. (OMWM) SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation & Account assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Define Valuation Control. 9. Define Account Grouping for Movement Types (OMWN) SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation & Account assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Define Account Grouping for Movement Types. 10. Group Together Valuation Areas (OMWD) SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation & Account assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Group Together Valuation Areas

Configure Automatic Postings (OMWB) or OBYC SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation & Account assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Configure Automatic Postings

What is meant by access sequence? When it is used? 11. An access sequence is a search strategy with the aid of which the SAP System searches for valid condition records of a certain condition type. For example, you can stipulate for a price that the SAP System first searches for a price for a specific plant, and then for a generally applicable price. For condition types for which you wish to maintain conditions with their own validity period, you must assign an access sequence. With this, you define which fields the SAP System checks in searching for a valid condition record. Example: An access sequence has been assigned to condition type PB00 so that prices can be maintained in purchasing info records and contracts. 9|Page

12.

No access sequence has been assigned to condition type RC00 because it does not have a validity period of its own. In the standard system, it is always maintained simultaneously with the price and is valid for the period of the price.

How does the PO pick up the pricing schema? 13. The calculation schema picks up using vendor schema (if you assign calculation schema only to vendor schema then it will pick the same calculation schema for the vendors assigned to particular vendor schema even though the Pur. Org is different, the condition is the vendor record must be exist in all Pur. Org) or purchasing org schema (if you assign calculation schema only to purchasing schema then the PO will pick up same calculation schema for different vendors), or both at time (if you wants separate pricing for domestic and foreign vendor under one Pur. Org maintain two vendor schemas different for two vendors and assign it to purchasing org schema). 14. What are the types of special stocks available? 15. Special stocks and special procurement types are divided into the following areas: - Consignment - Subcontracting - Stock transfer using stock transport order - Third-party processing - Returnable transport packaging - Pipeline handling - Sales order stock - Project stock creens in Material Master Various Material Master Screen: • • •

SPRO IMG < Enterprise Structure > < Assignment > < Assign Company code to Company> How to configure the system for automatic conversion of Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order? Ensure automatic purchase order field in Material Master (purchasing view) and Vendor Master is ticked,Maintain the source list for respective materials and vendor. Also maintain correct data at the MRP views. On the MRP run system will generate purchase requisitions for the following materials. Using T-code ME59 conversion of purchase requisition to Purchase orders is possible. What are the configuration for automatic creation and selection of storage locations in Inventory Management? Auto creation of storage location in inventory management can be created with respect to the movement type and plant.Using t-code OBM2/OBM3. For automatic storage location selection, storage location data can be specified in procurement storage location field of MRP view in Material master and Issue storage location field in Bill Of Material. How to maintain automatic determination of G/L accounts during GR/GI/Transfer posting? Automatic account determination of GL account can be maintained using T-code OBYC by specifying GL code for specific valuation class within the posting key(TEKEY) maintained for respective movement types. What is the difference between selection parameter WE101 and WE103? To optimize internal processes, you regularly create list displays to inform yourself about the status of your purchase orders, info records, and other documents in the system. You are checking the purchase orders issued over the past 24 months. you are primarily interested in POs against which no goods receipts have been entered. Choose the scope of list BEST_ALV, so that the list of selected purchase orders is displayed with ALV Grid Control. Choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> List Displays --> For Vendor (ME2L). Selection parameter : WE101 (open goods receipt) WE103 means then that SAP considers the GR blocked stock as well as already

received quantity while with WE101 the GR blocked stock is not considered as received. What is the diffrence between XD01, XK01 & MK01? Knowing that all the above tx codes are used to create vendor. There are 3 t-codes by which you can create vendor: XK01 is for centrally creating vendor where all data are included. MK01 is for purchasing vendor. FK01 is for accounting vendor or vendor with accounting details.

PRICE DETERMINATION PROCESS or PRICING PROCEDURE

CONDITIONS OR PRICING PROCEDURE or PRICE DETERMINATION PROCESS We deal with the Pricing Procedure for vendors. PB00 Gross Price (info record, contract, scheduled Agreement) PBXX Gross Price (PO) FRA1 Freight RA00 Discount on net RA01 Discount on Gross ZA00 Surcharge on net SKT0 Surcharge / discount ZPB0 Rebates MWVS Input Tax MWAS Output Tax BASB Base Amount RM0000 Calculation Schema or Pricing Procedure (PB00 & PBXX) RM0002 Calculation Schema or Pricing Procedure (PB00) PB00 --> AB00 Copy the Standard one and create new one (ours) RM0000 contains all the condition types

14 | P a g e

Pricing Procedure (PP) We define the pricing procedure to define condition supplement for the material price. The condition supplement specifies the discount, surcharge, freight etc that we want a system every time to access material price condition records. The total value of the material is calculated or based on all addition and subtraction i.e. discounts, surcharge, tax freight etc

Condition Table It is a table, which defines the structure of condition record key.

Condition Record It is a data record used to store conditions or condition supplements, i.e. condition like, discount, freight, and surcharge, Tax etc.

Condition Type It is used for different functions. In Pricing the condition types leads you to differentiate different types of discounts, in output determination, batch determination, difference between two output types, such as delivery note or orderconfirmation, between different strategy types

Access Sequence It specifies the order in which system searches or access the condition records from condition table

Difference between PB00 & PBXX 1. Condition maintained in PB00 is time dependent whereas PBXX is time independent. 2. Condition type PB00 – used for IR, RFQ, Contract, Schedule Agreement Condition type PBXX – used for PO. 15 | P a g e

Calculation Schema The main function of calculation schema is to provide framework of steps for the price determination process to specify the discounts, surcharge, freight rebate etc. It also determines the sequence of conditions that are to be followed and in which sequence.

Schema Group Vendor The main function of it is to identify or to pick the right process and conditions for a particular vendor.

Schema Group Purchasing Organization Key that determines which calculation schema (pricing procedure) is to be used in purchasing documents assigned to the relevant purchasing organization.

Schema Group It allows to group together the purchasing organizations, which uses the same calculation schema.

Steps: 1. Create Access sequence 2. Create condition types 3. Create pricing procedure or calculation schema 4. Link pricing procedure & access sequence to condition type 5. Create schema group for vendor 6. Create schema group for purchase organization 7. Assign schema group vendor-to-vendor master record in purchasing data view 8. Assign schema group purchase organization to our purchase organization 9. In inforecord purchase organization data enter condition types and pricing or calculation procedure

ITEM CATEGORY (I) In terms of MM – PUR: -An identifier indicating the characteristics of an item.

The item category determines whether the following are mandatory or permitted for an item: Material Number, Account assignment, Inventory Management in the SAP system, Goods Receipt & Invoice Receipt

In terms Advertising Management (IS-M-AM):

Characteristics that defines sales relevant features of document items including planning, pricing, production, billing etc Item category plans a vital role in MM. It is a key, which determines how the procurement of the material & services is to be controlled for the particular item. Depending upon the item categories the scenario of purchasing documents varies / changes.

Document types of item category: 1. Standard 2. L – Sub contracting 3. K – Consignment 4. B – Limit 5. U – Stock Transfer 6. D – Services 7. T – Text 8. S – Third Party

Account Assignment Category (A): -

It determines which A/C Assignment data is necessary or required for the particular item Different Types: 1. 1 - Third Party 2. P - Projects 3. K – Cost Center 4. A - Asset 17 | P a g e

Post the differences T Code MI07 & Mov Type 701 & 702 Enter the physical inventory document number, year, posting date, enter the difference and post INVENTORY MANAGEMENT Maintaining stock by value or by quantity is called inventory. The total inventory management deals with the goods movement of the material. Goods movement: It is a process in which transaction resulting change in stocks. It is further sub-divided into three categories 18 | P a g e

1. Goods Receipt (GR) 2. Goods Issue (GI) 3. Transfer Posting (TP) Goods Receipt (GR): - It is a goods movement in which receipt of goods is posted for vendor or for production. A GR posted in the system will leads to increase in stock. No Concept of Price or value Goods Issue (GI): - It is goods movement in which material withdrawal is posted for consumption or for customer. A GI posted in system will leads to decrease in stock. Stock Transfer (ST): - It is method of removal of material from one location and transferring it to another location. This process is performed between two plants and two storage locations. Transfer Posting (TP): - It is a general term of stock transfer that changes the stock type or stock categories. The difference between transfer posting and stock transfer is: TP is logical stock transfer and ST is a physical stock transfer. Movement Type: - It is a three-digit code, which plays a role of important control function in inventory management. It acts as a central role in automatic account determination. It determines which stock account or consumption account is updated in financial accounting. Reservation: - It stores requisition created from particular cost center to particular department for issuing the material reservation posted in the system. It leads to decrease in stock. Stock Types: - The different stock types are 1. Unrestricted use stock 2. Quality inspection stock 3. Blocked stock 4. Warehouse stock Transaction code: 1. To Create GR - MIGO 2. To Create GI - MB1A 3. For Transfer Posting - MB1B 4. To display Material/GR document – MB03 19 | P a g e

5. To create reservations - MB21, MB22, MB23 6. To See Stock Overview - MMBE 7. To enter Other GR - MB1C When GR is posted in the system 1. Material document is created - MB03 2. Accounting Document is generated - MB03 3. MMR updated - MM02, MM03 4. PO history updated - ME23N Movement Type’s

Movement Types under GR - 101, 331,333,335,501,503,505,551,553,555, 561,351 (For all Mov Type’s there is a reversal e.g. 101 has 102. Note: No reversal for 121)

Movement Type’s under GI - 201, 331,333,335,551,553,555 Transfer Posting: It is performed in three ways 1. TP B/W Plant to Plant 2. TP B/W Storage Location to Storage Location 3. TP B/W Stock to Stock Movement Types under TP B/W Plant to Plant 301 - 1 step 303 & 305 - 2 step Movement Type under TP B/W Storage location to Storage Location 311 - 1 step 313 & 315 - 2 step Movement Type under TP B/W stock to stock 321, 323, 325, 343,349 To Cancel the GR Movement type 102 Return delivery to vendor movement type 122 & T Code MIGO Transfer Posting Stock to Stock

PIPELINE PROCESS: (No Concept of Invoice)

In pipeline handling your company does not need to order or store the material concerned. It is ready available to you as and when required via pipeline (e.g. oil or water), or some other type of cable (e.g. electricity). Consumption of the material is settled with the vendor on a regular basis.

Steps: 1. Create a Material master record with material type PIPE 2. Create Pipeline info record 3. Create GI with movement type 201P 4. Pipeline settlement T Code MRKO

RETURNABLE TRANSPORT PACKAGING (RTP):

24 | P a g e

When company orders goods from a vendor, the goods are delivered with returnable transport packaging (pallets, containers) that belongs to the vendor and is stored on our premises until you return it to the vendor.

Steps: 1. Create Material master record with material type LEIH 2. Create PO 3. Create GR by maintaining RTP material by selecting the option transport equipments with movement type 501M. 4. IR

STOCK TRANSFER:

In stock transfer processing, goods are procured and supplied within a company. One plant orders the goods internally to another plant (receiving plant/issuing plant). The goods are procured with a special type of purchase order the stock transport order.

Steps: 1. Create a Material master in both supplying and receiving plant 2. Create stock transport order (STO) with item category ‘U’ 3. Create transfer posting with movement type 351 & T Code MB1B (Go to MMBE stock overview, the stock will decrease in supplying plant and it will not update stock of receiving plant, it will be under stock in transit) 4.
