MM questions Materials Management1. In which of the following cases can you define scales for the condition type a. Purchase orderb. Contractc. Info recordd. Vendore. Quotationf. Scheduling agreement2. What is meant by one-time vendor? You can create special master records for vendors from whom you only procure a material once or very rarely. These are called one-time vendor master records and, in contrast to other master records, you can use a vendor master record for several vendors. Therefore, no vendor-specific data is stored for one-time vendors. You can control this using the relevant field selection for account groups for one-time vendors. When you create a purchasing or accounting document using a one-time vendor, the system automatically branches to an additional data screen on which you enter specific data, such as the vendors name, address, or bank details. If an RFQ or a PO is sent to a one-time vendor, the vendor data must be entered manually. 3. How do you control the use of Valuation class per material Type? a. By valuation categoryb. By Account groupc. By Account assignment Categoryd. By Material Groupvaluation category Criterion for the separate valuation of different stocks of a material managed under a single material number. Reasons for split valuation may include: Quality Batch Degree of purity Use or non-use in promotions Account group Attributes which determine the creation of master records. The account group determines: The data that is relevant for the master record A number range from which numbers are selected for the master records. An account group must be assigned to each master record.Account assignment Category Consumable materials debit different account assignment objects depending on the account assignment category specified. The account assignment category determines which category of account assignment is to be debited and which account assignment data you have to prepare.

MRP controllersMRP controllers The person responsible for a group of materials within MRP in a plant or company. Any material that takes part in material requirements planning must be assigned to an MRP controller. Material Status Indicator in a material master record that restricts the usability of a material. You can restrict the usability of a material for certain functions, for example, by assigning it the status test part. Tables are used to define how the system is to respond in individual applications, for example, with an error message or a warning, in the case of unpermitted use of a material. You can define the material status for all plants (basic data view), or separately for each plant (plant view).6. What does the account assignment category U stands for? When can we use this account assignment category ?If you do not know the account assignment object for which the consumable material is being procured when the requirement coverage request is created, you can use account assignment category U in the purchase requisition. The system does not require any further details about the account assignment for the relevant item in the purchase requisition.7. What is the purpose of Collective number in RFQ?You can link a number of RFQs that belong together with the help of the collective number. The collective number can have a maximum of ten characters and can be alphanumeric. 8. What is release order? What is the difference between the release order and Purchase order?A release order is a purchase order that references a contract. Contracts are outline agreements. They do not contain details of the delivery dates for each of the items. To inform vendors of which quantities you need for which date, you enter contract release orders for a contract. 9. What is distributed contract and Centralized ContractDistributed contracts are centrally agreed contracts that are created in one R/3 system and made available to other R/3 systems for the issue of release orders. They are distinguished from normal contracts by the use of a separate agreement type.Items of a Centralized contract do not relate to just one specific receiving plant.10. At which Organization levels is info record kepta. P. org levelb. Plantc. Company coded. Client11. What are the preconditions for automatically generated delivery schedule lines?A particular advantage of working with scheduling agreements is that delivery schedule lines can be generated automatically by the MRP system provided that certain prerequisites are fulfilled: The scheduling agreement must be uniquely defined as the source of supply Automatically generated schedule lines must be allowed via the source list (MRP indicator 2) Automatically generated schedule lines must be allowed in the MRP system12. When do normally use Account assignment category K? And why?K (cost center). When procuring consumable materials.13. At which level Purchase requisitions are releasedPurchase Organization14. At which level Purchase orders are releasedPurchase Organization15. What is item category and give some two examplesThe item category defines the process used to procure a material or service. Standard: You use this item category for materials that are procured externally. Subcontracting: The finished product is ordered from a vendor. The components that the vendor needs to manufacture the finished product are entered as material to be provided “ items. Consignment: 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. Stock transport orders: The material is transferred from one plant to another. Third-party order: You order material from a vendor with the instruction that the vendor should deliver the goods direct to a third party (a customer, for example). The vendor sends your company the material invoice.16. What are release codes in release procedure? Two-character identifier with which a person responsible for processing a document can release (approve) an item of a purchase requisition, a complete purchase requisition, or a complete external purchasing document, or cancel such release (that is, revoke a previously granted approval). If a link to SAP Business Workflow has been defined for the release code, the person involved can also refuse to effect release (withhold approval), thus rejecting the relevant item or document.17. For a normal PO briefly explain the determination of Release Strategy The release conditions (or criteria) determine which release strategy applies. To be able to work with the release procedure with classification, you must create a release class with characteristics in addition to making the other Customizing settings. You set up a release class with characteristics via the classification system. The communication structures CEBAN (for purchase requisitions) and CEKKO (for external purchasing documents) contain all the fields that can be defined as release characteristics. All release conditions must be defined as classification characteristics. Part of the characteristic definition is a link to a field of the communication structures CEBAN or CEKKO You group together all characteristics that you wish to use in release strategies for purchase requisitions or external purchasing documents in a class. The class must be assigned to the class type 032. You can define a class for purchase requisitions, a class for external purchasing documents, and a class for service entry sheets. The release class is assigned to the release object in Customizing (1 = purchase requisition, 2 = external purchasing documents, 3 = service acceptance).18.

If material stocks are valuated at plant level, the material stocks for each plant can be managed in different accounts. You can define a separate account determination for each plant. G/L accounts to which transactions are posted in Materials Management26. What is the purpose of Account Grouping Code?The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records. The account group determines: the number interval for the account number of the vendor whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system Which specifications are necessary and/or possible in the master record.27.

What are the accounting entries in the case of Transferring material Between Storage locations of the same plant?36. What is Gross Posting and Net posting?Gross: If you post the gross amount of an invoice, the R/3 System ignores the cash discount amount when you enter the invoice; it posts the cash discount amount to a “cash discount” account at the time of payment. Therefore, the cash discount amount is not credited to the stock or cost account. Net: If you post the net amount of an invoice, the R/3 System posts the cash discount amount from a cash discount clearing account to the stock or cost account. The cash discount clearing account is cleared at the time of payment. 37. I do Invoice Reduction normally in the case of a. Mistake in price made by meb. Mistake made by vendorc.

How we can post unplanned delivery costAmong the items or post the costs to a separate G/L account. If the R/3 System distributes unplanned delivery costs among the items, it treats them in the same way as price differences. If the R/3 System posts unplanned delivery costs to a separate G/L account, they do not appear in the purchase order history. 41. What are the ways in which I can Post the unplanned delivery costIf unplanned costs are apportioned among the purchase order items, the offsetting entry is made to the respective stock account or cost account for the individual items, or to a price differences account. 42. What is ERS and when do we use that In Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS), goods receipts are settled directly without the vendor having to issue an invoice. The R/3 System uses information from the purchase order and the goods receipt. The system creates a message record at the time of settlement, which allows you to send the vendor a letter about the settlement. ERS is defined for each purchase order item. You can use ERS only if it is defined for the PO vendor in the vendor master record. If a purchase order item is to be settled automatically, goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must also be active for the item. 43. What is stochastic block?Procedure for checking invoices. In stochastic blocking, the system blocks invoices for payment at random. The higher the invoice value, the higher the probability of it being stochastically blocked.44. What is one step and two steps transfer process. One step: Posting procedure for physical stock transfers from storage location to storage location or from plant to plant. When using the one-step procedure, you only have to record one transaction in the system to post the removal from storage at the point of issue and placement into storage at the point of receipt. The system creates just one material document for a stock transfer.Two step: Posting procedure for physical stock transfers from storage location to storage location or from plant to plant. With this procedure, it is possible to monitor the stock affected by the transfer since it is designated as in transfer at the receiving point and administered as such in the system.45.
