Welcome to my notes on SAP MM: Material Management in the SAP
System, specifically focusing on the following topics:
● Master Data: Core Information for SAP Transactions
● Purchasing Process: From Proposal to Goods Receipt
● Inventory Management: Maintaining Goods in the Organization
● Pricing Procedure: Determining Material Prices in SAP
Master Data: Core Information for SAP Transactions
SAP MM relies on master data, which contains the core information
required for transactions. This data includes:
● Material master records: comprehensive information on
materials, such as dimensions, weight, and unit of
measurement.
● Vendor master records: information on vendors, including
addresses, bank details, and payment terms.
● Customer master records: information on customers, including
addresses, contacts, and credit management.
Purchasing Process: From Proposal to Goods Receipt
The purchasing process in SAP MM begins with a purchase
requisition and ends with goods receipt. The purchasing process
includes:
● Purchase requisition: the initial step in the purchasing process,
created manually or automatically based on material
requirements planning.
● Purchase order: a legally binding document sent to a vendor to
procure goods or services.
● Goods receipt: the physical delivery of goods or services,
recorded in SAP MM.
