2. what is the organizational structure in the mm module?
answer: the organizational structure in the mm module is a hierarchy in
which various organizational units are arranged according to their tasks and
functions. the different organizational units that constitute the
organizational structure of the company are as follows:
client— a self-contained unit in the sap system with separate master records
and its own set of tables.
storage type— an area such as a goods receipt area, goods issue area, or
picking area. also the physical or logical division of a complex warehouse.
4. what unique insight into this upgrade does infotrellis have that other
vendors don’t have?
answer: put quite simply, experience: we are already ahead of the game by
being one of the first implementers in north america if not the world to be
participating in upgrade and implementation efforts for mdm 11. we’re also
able to leverage our volumes of experience with prior versions. infotrellis is
involved in a number of mdm 11 projects already – both upgrades and new
implementations – on a variety of operating systems (linux, solaris, aix) and
database (oracle, db2).
sap menu > logistics > materials management > mrp > evaluations > mrp

the scheduling edge index is designated to the matter ( mrp field in the
substantial master) and is shifted while the stock order is made. certain
conditions can be changed in the stock order.

25. problem is that after goods receipt and after invoice verification, a
reversal of goods receipt is being done. the 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?
answer: 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 returning the good in any case.
img –> stuff management –> physical inventory and inventory management
–> drive types –> copy, change movement kinds
28. what’s the real value of this upgrade from a technology perspective?
answer: to an implementer, the osgi framework is such a different way of
looking at the mdm product as opposed to the old ear-based system that it’s
worth it to start working with this upgrade just for the advantage of getting
an early start on familiarizing yourself with this new technology. while still
maturing in the ibm mdm product, it promises faster and more dependable
deployments, dependency management, and a modular code structure. it
comes with the ability to start and stop individual modules or upgrade them
without shutting down the whole application. this can lead to much-
improved uptime for the mdm instance(s).
it’s also worth noting that for a company on the ibm stack, the improved
integration with products like datastage can really increase the value of this
product to the enterprise.

47. what are the main components of the mm module? how are these
components used in sap?
answer: the mm module of sap r/3 is used for materials procurement and
management. this is the largest of all the sap modules and is divided into the
following subcomponents:
– purchasing—allows users to control the entire purchasing process.
– inventory management—allows users to keep track of the materials in
stock. it also helps users to perform operations, such as goods receipts,
goods issues, and physical stock transfers.
– invoice verification—allows users to verify invoices from vendors. the
invoices are compared with the purchase order and the goods receipts in the
following three ways:
content
price
quantity
physical inventory—allows users to keep track of the materials stored in an
organization. inventory is taken on the basis of measurement units, such as
number or weight of items, at a given storage location at a specific time.
– valuation—allows users to calculate the value of all fixed and current
assets, along with all payables, at a certain time and with the appropriate
legal requirements.
– materials requirements planning—helps users to create a materials
procurement plan for a plant or company.
– materials master—helps users to manage all of the materials-related data.
– service master—helps an organization keep records of the services that it
procures.
– foreign trade/customs—allows users to manage the export and import of
merchandise among different customs territories.
client—a self-contained unit in the sap system with separate master records
and its own set of tables.
company code—the smallest organizational unit. you can create an
independent set of accounts for this unit for the purpose of external
reporting.
plant—an organizational unit where materials are produced or goods and
services are provided. you can divide an enterprise into various plants
according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning.
storage location—an organizational unit where the goods produced in the
plant are stored.
warehouse number—an alphanumeric key that represents a warehousing
system, which is made up of different organizational and technical storage
areas.
storage type—an area such as a goods receipt area, goods issue area, or
picking area. also the physical or logical division of a complex warehouse.
purchasing organization—an organizational unit that procures materials and
services and negotiates with vendors to purchase materials or goods.
purchasing group—an alphanumeric key for a buyer or a group of buyers
who are involved in purchasing activities. the purchasing group is
responsible for materials procurement and dealing with vendors.
49. what are the levels at which a batch number can be configured?
answer: a batch number can be configured at several different levels: client
level, plant level, and material level. you can select a batch number at any
of the following levels:
• client level— when you configure a batch at the client level, you need to
assign the batch number only once throughout the whole client. only one
batch number exists for each material assigned at this level.
• plant level —in sap, the plant level is the default level for the batch
number. at the plant level, a batch number is unique for a plant and material.
this means that you can have a batch of the same number at a different plant
within the same company.
• material level —at this level, material numbers are assigned to the
products. the material number helps to differentiate between two products
in case their batch numbers are the same. the materials are identified by the
combination of the material number and batch number.
50. what do you understand by goods receipt in sap system?
answer: after processing of purchase order by vendor, the material is
delivered to ordering party and this process is called as goods receipt. so,
goods receipt is the phase in which the material is received by the ordering
party and the condition and quality are verified. once the material is verified
against quality then the receipt of the goods is posted.
