1. Can storage locations be created automatically? How can they be created all.
Storage locations can be created automatically when an inward goods movement for a
material is performed. In order to create storage location automatically, open the SAP
Implementation guide and click Materials Management > Inventory Management
and Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > Create Storage Location Automatically.
Create automatic storage location for plant and movement type by activating it:-
Material is not extended to any storage location but through automatic storage location its get extended
automatically to storage location L001:-

3.Mention what is the transaction code used to extend the material view?
To extend the material view transaction, code MM5O is used.
LIFO (Last-In-First-Out): This method is based on the assumption that the materials
received last were the ones issued/consumed first. The valuation is based on the initial
receipt.
Lowest Value Method: Here, the stocks are valued at their original price or the current
market price whichever is lower. This method is suitable when the inventory needs
to be valued to take into account material obsolescence, physical changes in price
level.
15.What are the data in material master that are maintained at the company code
level?
The data that is specific to a particular company and the plant and storage areas assigned to
that company is maintained at the company code level.
2. Create characteristics(CT04)
23. Is it possible to maintain the same material master with same code in all plants in a
company. Our client is using same materials in all their four plants?
Material numbers are always maintained at Company code level. If you look at the Material
master data, some data is maintained at Company code level, some at Plant level and some
at Storage location level. If you have all the 4 plants attached to one company code, they
should have the same material number. What you need to do is to extend the material to all
the 4 plants if that’s your requirement. Also, if you have your valuation area as your Plant,
then you have the flexibility to maintain Plant specific pricing for the same material.
You can use MMO1 T code to copy material from old plant to new plant. But check for the
required details in your new plant and make changes accordingly.
24. Where we do the configuration for the cost centre allocation, because whenever we GR
a 'material, accounting document is created for that particular material. How that
particular material go in to the particular accounting (G/L, account)
In Tcode: OBYC Automatic Postings.
for Inventory Posting Trns Key is: BSX
for Offsetting entries like Goods issue, initial stock Trans Key is : GBB
Based on the Movement types, Valuation class it will be assigned to a G/L account. You can
refer the configuration in Tcode: OBYC

28. How to edit created P.O.? If user want to change some data like price, data etc. in a
created purchase order but system is not allowing it. As a support SAP MM functional
consultant what you would do?
This is an open question without direct answers and you should suggest the possibilities: If
you have made goods receipt against PO, then you cannot make any change to the price and
other condition details in PO if not you will be able to do it.
Also, check whether user have authorization for ME22N.
The Price came from lnforecord (if you have maintained the inforecord for material and
vendor combination), then in this case you cannot directly change the Price in PO. If you
want to change then check PO condition type is it PBXX, then you can change.
There is a procedure called as the field selection. When a purchase order is created, then it
requires a release. In the release procedure you can maintain the fields which cannot be
changed as per the field selection. For example, if I am an approver and I approved a
purchase order for 10 pieces and released it, in this case if the changes are allowed for the
quantity then the total release procedure becomes useless.
30. Explain how is the vendor return processed without a purchase order reference?
First you have to observe the return column and then select — Item Detail >M1G0 GR >
Goods Receipt for Purchase Order. Use movement type 161 the intention is to deduct the
stock otherwise, 162 is used to undo the changes. In the end, you have to ensure that the
document is a return purchase order, and then the document is saved.
32. Explain what is CBP? What is the difference between CBP and MRP?
CBP is the past consumption values of stock; it is used to forecast future requirements. On
the basis of past consumption values, the net requirement of goods is calculated. The
difference between CBP and MRP is that when you plan materials using MRP, you have to
predict the materials requirement based on sales and operations planning (SOP). While in
CBP you have to predict the material requirement based on historical demand for materials.
CBP:-
34. Material number has to be 30 Digit. So how to get this is SAP? The present
18 Digit is NOT at all sufficient for the business?
It has to be Alpha Numeric or sometimes only numbers. It must be external numbering
system only & not the SAP generated internal number range because
material number or name is given by Vendors.
Ex:ABC1234,89900-00988987,Y778009, 77777766665444433322211-A, etc
Solution: not possible according to sap standards but still with the help of Abap people we
can do it, the answer on top is correct, but also think about usability, You have 30 digits that
mean over a trillion variable materials... do you have a trillion materials?

PO is reflected in MRP:
39.The Communication Structure in release Strategies. What is that link the release strategy
takes?
Communication Structure "CEBAN" to Create Purchase Requisition.
Communication Structure "CEKKO" to Create Purchase Order.
Communication Structure "CESSR" to Create Service Entry Sheet.
.
A goods issue for a stock transport order with delivery in Shipping is posted using movement types
641, 643.
Make this setting: SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and
Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > For GR-Based IV, Reversal of GR

Here remove the tick against Mvt 102 & 122.
Now the system will not allow to return the Good at any case.
