8. What is concept of automatic PO and what settings are required to create automatic PO?
Automatic PO indicator must be set in purchasing view of material master record
Automatic PO indicator must be set in purchasing data of vendor master record
There must be an outline agreement or info record must be maintained for the material and vendor. This is
required to determine the material price and conditions.
9. What is the difference between a foreign PO and normal PO? What settings we do for it?
In foreign PO a tab page import data will be there. But we have to make some settings in IMG to have
this tab page. IMG path is MM→Purchasing→Foreign trade/customs→Control foreign trade data in MM
and SD documents→Import screens in purchasing documents
We can use 1 – call up import data screen for every import
Many settings are available in foreign trade/customs for Import PO’s.
10. What is Blanket purchase order? Give a brief of the blanket PO cycle.
Blanket PO is created for low value items to reduce the processing costs.
Blanket PO is created with document type FO (Framework order), validity fields appear in header and
enter the validity period. Use item category B (Limit) and account assignment category. We get a limit
tab page where we have to enter overall limit and expected value. The overall limit is the maximum value
for which invoices referring the PO can be posted. The expected value is the end value of the order.
No need to enter order quantity or net price in item overview. System will take expected value as the net
price.
12. I want to have the system post a material to inspection stock by default when we receive the
material in MIGO. How can we do that?
In purchasing view we have to check post to inspection stock to have this.
21. In material planning how does the system determine procurement quantity?
It depends on the lot sizing procedure used in material master record.
We use three type of lot sizing procedures
Static lot-sizing procedures
Periodic lot-sizing procedures
Optimum lot-sizing procedures.
In static lot-sizing procedures, the system does not consider future shortages; so if it determines
shortages, the system creates an order proposal for the quantity of the static lot size.
If you have specified that the exact lot size (lot-for-lot order quantity) is to be used, the system uses the
exact shortage quantity as the order quantity if there is a material shortfall.
If you have specified that the fixed lot size is to be used, the system uses the fixed lot size as the order
quantity if there is a material shortfall.
22. What is stock/requirements list and MRP list ?
The MRP list shows the result of the last planning run and is therefore static: Changes made after the
planning run are not visible. This is a static list.
Stock/requirements list shows the present stock and requirement situation of a material. Each time the list
is set up, the system reimports and displays the various MRP elements.. This is a dynamic list.
23. What are the differences between release procedure with classification and release procedure
without classification? When are they used?
Release procedure without classification is used for item level release only and hence can be used for
releasing Purchase requisitions only.
Release procedure with classification can be used for both item level & header level release (overall
release). Hence it can be used for releasing both Purchase requisitions and external purchasing
documents. External purchasing documents can be released at header level only.
28. At what level the release strategy is configured? Client level or Company code level?
Release strategy is configured at client level. Company code or plant can be made as characteristics and
used in the release procedure.
37. What does the account group in vendor master record determine?
Type of number assignment
Number range
Partner roles allowed
Type of use of master record ie vendor or one time vendor
Field status
40. What is material to material transfer posting? Which transaction is used to do transfer posting?
If the state of a material changes over time, for example, so that instead of the properties defined in the
original material master record it now has those corresponding to another material number, a material-to-
material transfer becomes necessary. This is often the case in the chemical and pharmaceutical
industries.
We do transfer posting using MIGO
Ex: Material KA01 (New chemical) is transferred to KA02 (Old chemical)
41. In case of stock transfer from storage location to storage location in one step what documents
are created?
Only material document with two material document items is created.
One item for the removal of the material from storage (goods issue) at the issuing storage location
One item for the placement of the material in storage (goods receipt) at the receiving storage location
An accounting document is not generated for this stock transfer because the transferred material is
managed in the same plant.
Note: If stock is transferred from one storage location to another, an accounting document is generated if
the material is split-valuated and the valuation type changes in the course of the transfer.
42. In case of stock transfer from storage location to storage location in two steps what documents
are created?
In the course of a stock transfer from storage location to storage location using the two-step procedure,
two material documents are generated: one at the time of goods issue (in this case referred to as removal
from storage), and a second at the time of goods receipt (in this case referred to as placement in storage).
Valuation does not take place in the case of the two-step procedure.
An accounting document is not generated for this stock transfer because the transferred material is
managed in the same plant.
43. What are the options available for transferring materials from plant to plant?
A number of procedures are available to enable you to transfer materials from one plant to another:
Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
Transaction code: MB1B
Movement type 301
46. When do we use the option of one step procedure and two step procedure?
One step procedure is used if the two plants are in same building or one plant is a virtual plant only. Two
step procedure is used if the two plants are in different locations and material has to be transported from
one plant to another plant.
48. When we post a goods receipt which account postings will take place?
Stock account, GR/IR clearing account and price difference account
49. When we post a invoice which account postings will take place?
Stock account, GR/IR clearing account, price difference account, vendor reconciliation account (160000)
and input tax.
50. What are the account movements if we use moving average price for materials?
Stock account and GR/IR clearing account
51. What are the account movements if we use standard price for materials?
Stock account, GR/IR clearing account, income from price differences, expenditure from price
differences
56. In a typical MM transaction how does the system hit particular G/L Accounts?
The main point is linking G/L Accounts to chart of accounts.
It depends on five factors.
1. Chart of accounts of company code
2. Valuation area (plant or company code). Valuation grouping code if many valuation areas are
clubbed to a valuation grouping code.
3. Material/material type (valuation class)
4. Transaction / event key
5. Movement type
Step1: Define valuation control. Here we decide if valuation level is plant or company code
Step 2: Group together valuation areas by valuation grouping code
Step 3: Establish link between material and valuation class. We will assign account category reference for
material type. In the accounting 1 view of material master record we are assigning valuation class.
Step 3; In OBYC the transaction/event keys are linked to G/L account thru valuation grouping code and
valuation class. Whenever there is any material receipt or issue we use movement type and the movement
type is linked to transaction/event key thru value string which is a standard sap setting. Since the
transaction/event key is linked to G/L account in OBYC, the system will hit the appropriate G/L account.
59. What are the various phases in a typical SAP implementation project?
A: There are 5 phases in a SAP implementation project.
1. Project preparation
Here we do the following
a. Define your project goals and objectives
b. Clarify the scope of your implementation
c. Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence
d. Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources
2. Business Blueprint
In this phase we create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb), which
documents the enterprise’s requirements and establishes how the business processes and
organizational structure can be mapped in the SAP System.
3. Realization
In this phase, we configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline
configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope). Other key focal
areas of this phase are conducting module testing, integration tests and preparing end user
documentation and training materials.
4. Final preparation
In this phase we complete the preparations, including testing, end user training, data uploading
and cutover activities. We also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage we need
to ensure that all the prerequisites for the system to go live have been fulfilled.
5. Go live and support
In this phase we move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important
elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing
overall system performance.
