can anybody explain mm flow in detail

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.

Hi,

<b>MM FLOW</b>

1) MRP Controller (MD11).

2) Purchase Requisition(ME51).

3) Request For Quotation(ME41).

4) Purchase Order(ME21N).

5) Order Conformation(VA01).

6) Goods Receipt(MIGO).

7) Material Documentation(MB51).

😎 Invoice Verification(MIRO).

9) Physical Inventory Document

=>Inventory Counting

=>Cycle Counting

=>Clear Differences

<b>MRP Controller (MD11).</b>

Material requirements can be genarated through sales dept or individual user departments.

<b>Purchase Requisition(ME51).</b>

once material requirement is defined then purchase requisition can be created. it can be automatic through MRP or manually by individual user or user dept.

<b>Request For Quotation(ME41).</b>

purchasing dept will collect the purchse requisition and send request for quotation to collect the vendors.

<b>Purchase Order(ME21N)</b>

before this, MM people select vendor as per company needs. the purchase order will be released to the vendor(supplier) for suppling material on predefined terms and conditions .

<b>Order Conformation(VA01).</b>

once purchas eorder is released the purchase dept will monitor and follow up for the supply.

<b>Goods Receipt(MIGO).</b>

on arrival of material the warehouse people will receave the material and process for goods receipt.

<b>Invoice Verification(MIRO).</b>

the accounting dept will receave the invoice from yhe vendor and compare with the purchase order and goods receipt note.

on the due date the accounting people will make payments based on terms and conditions.

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).

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
